A Stitch In time Saves Nine ~ Grandma's Button Box

Hello bloggers I hope you are well and managing to get some crafting into your busy week.  Today I have a sewing related card for you.

This card began as an A4 sheet of white card stock.  First I printed the purple patchwork design onto it using Katy Sue Designs 'grandma's button box' CD-ROM.  Next I scored the card in half to make an A5 card blank.  The sentiment was typed up in word and the text colour changed to purple before printing it onto white card stock.  It was then die cut using Spellbinders 'fancy tags two' die set.  Whilst still in the die I inked through with dusty concord distress ink.  The sentiment was adhered at the bottom of the card.

The topper was printed onto white card stock using the same CD-ROM as above, it was the cut out.  A mat was die cut for the topper using some blue embossed pearlescent paper and Spellbinders 'blossom five' die set.  I then inked over the paper with dusty concord distress ink.  The topper and mat were adhered to the top of the card.

Friends ~ Grandmas Button Box

Hello bloggers I hope you are well and the weekend is turning out to be a good one for you.  Today I have a sweet sentiment card for a friend.

This card began as a white 6x4 card blank.  First I used a pretty blue floral paper to cover the front of the card from my stash.  Next using a pretty lemon and blue floral patterned paper I die cut a mat for the sentiment using Spellbinders 'lace doily motifs' die set.  Once die cut I inked the edges with faded jeans distress ink. The mat was then adhered to the top of the card.  Next I printed off the sentiment using Katy Sue Designs 'grandma's button box' CD-ROM.  This was cut out by hand and adhered into the centre of the mat.  Finally I added some pale blue satin  ribbon across the bottom of the card and then tied a bow and adhered it on top of the ribbon strip using a foam pad.

Mother's Arms ~ Grandma's Button Box

Hello bloggers a bit late with today's blog post as I fell asleep last night and then forgot to schedule it for today.  Anyway back to today's card which is another card featuring Grandma's Button Box CD-ROM.

This card began as a 6x8 card blank.  First I adhered a pink patterned paper to cover the front of the card from my stash.  Next I added a yellow gingham mat onto the pink paper.  I then printed onto white card stock the topper and sentiment using Katy Sue Designs 'grandma's button box' CD-ROM.  These were fussy cut out.  The image was adhered to the right hand side of the card and the sentiment to the left in the centre.  I then added a pink round button to each corner of the card.  Finally I added two pink hand shaped buttons to the top of the sentiment.

Grandma's Heart ~ Grandma's Button Box Katy Sue Designs ~ Grand Parents Day

Hello bloggers well another week almost over I am positive the older we get the quicker the weeks fly by.  Today I have a Grandma card for you, this could be used for any occasion but also for the forth coming Grand Parents Day.

This card began as an A5 white card blank.  Next I used Katy Sue Designs 'grandma's button box' CD-ROM to print out a backing paper, sentiment sheet and character.  The backing paper was cut to size and adhered to the front of the card.  Next the character was fussy cut out and I made a mat for it using some blue gingham patterned paper and Spellbinders 'labels 21' die set.  The mat was inked around the edges with faded jeans distress ink.  The character and mat were adhered together and added to the front of the card.  Next I fussy cut out the sentiment and used the same paper and die set as above to cut a mat for it.  This was then cut in half and adhered into place.  The edges of the finished sentiment were inked with pine needles distress ink and then adhered to the right hands side of the card.

Like Button Jars ~ Grandmas Button Box ~ Sewing

Hello bloggers I hope that you enjoyed your day yesterday and the lovely weather we had for those in the UK.  Today I have a card featuring a child sewing very apt as the country is taken by the sewing bug.

This card began as an A4 sheet of white card stock.  First I used Katy Sue Designs 'grandma's button box' CD-ROM to print a patchwork pattern onto the card stock.  It was then cut and scored to make a 6x4 card blank.    Next using the same CD-ROM as above I printed off a character and sentiment sheet.  I then fussy cut the character out.  A mat for the topper was made using some gingham patterned paper and Spellbinders 'labels B' die set.  I then inked the edges of the die cut with tumbled glass distress ink.  The topper and mat were adhered together and then attached to the front of the card.  Finally I cut out a sentiment and added it to the bottom of the card.
