Cards and More Shop - To The Beach

Hello, my friends!

I'm back with a new project made with products from the Cards and More Shop .

I had lots of fun with some new Dutch Doobadoo templates,
and Studio Light papers.

They created the perfect scene for this adorable image from Little Blue Button Stamps.
She's called "Miss Lilly Summer" and you can find her HERE.

It's all flat except for the foam tape behind the image and the sign.

I love these beautiful papers!

Here, I cut out just the sign board, inked it up, and popped it up.

Using a smaller size on the template, I cut this paper for the back.

It's a great place to write a message to the recipient!

Here's a look at the card stand on it's own.

It slips into the envelope nice an flat,

and then folds up to hold the card beautifully!

These were the products used from the Cards and More Shop :

*** Unfortunately the shop is having some technical difficulties.***
I'm not able to link this list to the shop at this time.
It will be up and running again very soon!

Creative Wednesday with Little Blue Button Stamps

Hello, my friends!

Welcome back to another Little Blue Buttons Stamp share.

Today is Creative Wednesday,

and I'm sharing another wonderful recent new release!

This one is called "Charlie on the Swing" and you'll find it HERE.
Isn't this a lovely image?

I think she's so pretty!
As soon as I saw her I pictured her in a garden,
all dressed in green, with red hair and green eyes.
So I coloured her that way,
then used a combination of dies and punches to create the scene.
I added some pretty sheer ribbon.
Then I used some flowers from my stash,
along with some forget-me-nots and a floral sprig from
Where Ideas Bloom Shop.
I thought they matched the blooms from the image very nicely! :o)

Here's a closer look at the floral embellishments:

Materials Used:

Papers: K and Company - Watercolor Bouquet,

Recollections - Cardstock;

This one is called "Some Coffee" and you'll find it HERE.
These girls have been very busy shopping, and have stopped for a coffee break

Wouldn't it be lovely filled with some flavoured coffee and mugs?

I coloured the image, and matted it on yellow cardstock.
Some red rhinestones were added to the corners.
I placed a red doily behind it and adhered it to the bag.
The bag was stuffed with red tissue paper,
and I added a yellow and red ribbon bow.
