Tutti Designs - Chapel

Hello, my friends!

It's Monday, and I'm back with a new Tutti Designs share!

This time I had some fun with the new "Chapel" die,
which you can find HERE.

I love to play with these symmetrical dies,
and see what I can come up with.
You might remember my Nativity Bell Ornament post HERE. 
This time I created a fun wedding place card holder. 

Here it is: 

Here's how I did it.

I began by cutting the die out of white cardstock - four times.

Can you see how it's nicely the same on both sides?

When all four were cut out, I scored them right down the center.

I did not score through the cross at the top of the chapel.

Next I adhered two chapels together,
leaving the steeple free of glue.
I repeated this with the other two chapels.
So I had two pieces like this:

I adhered those two pieces together,
and stood it up like this:

Isn't that fun?

I cut a strip of lavender cardstock, punched the corners,

inked the edges, and wrote "The Bride" on it.

Finally, I added a little sparkly ribbon bow.

Wouldn't these look nice at each place setting at a wedding?

Well...maybe just at the head table, 

if you have a really big wedding! lol

They're very quick and easy to put together!

Hope you like them and try it for yourself! :o)

Other Materials Used:

Papers: Cardstock - White, Lavender;

Punch: WRMK Corner Chomper - Deco;

Ribbon: Celebrate It. 

Tutti Designs Die Used:

Summertime Fun with Vera Lane Studios

Hello, my friends!

Today is a very happy posting day for me!

This is my first Guest Design post for Vera Lane Studios!

I've been a long time fan of these wonderful digi images,

so I'm really thrilled to be sharing weekly posts for the month of June. 
There's also a theme running for the month of June:
  "Summertime"

I have made three summertime themed ATCs.
One of the greatest benefits of digital images,
is that they can be resized to whatever you want. 
So I sized these all down to fit on the 2 1/2 X 3 1/2 ATC.
I printed then cut them with my Cricut Explore Air. 

These were so much fun to color, and to put together!

For this one I used the frame and girl from The Photographer set.

The "Explore" came from the I'm A Bird set.

I put it all together and added some rhinestones.

I just know that I would laugh if a bird landed on my head! ;o)

The image came from the Joyful set, 

the "Laugh" is also from the I'm A Bird set.

I added some ric rac trim and a flower.

This image came from the Apple set,

along with another word from the I'm A Bird set.

I added some sparkly fiber across the bottom, and a flower.

Other Materials Used:

Papers: Basic Grey - 

Color: Spectrum Noir Markers;

Ink: Distress Ink - Walnut Stain;

Chipboard: Graffix Medium Weight;

Punch: Recollections - Flower;

Tool: Cricut Explore Air;

Trims: My Stash;

Flowers: Prima;

Bling: Crafts - Rhinestones.

Here is the card I made using a wonderful image from Digistamps4Joy.

It's called "Coral Corner" and you can find it HERE.

I've created a shaker card for this special occasion.

I colored the image, and then created the shaker element.

Finally, I added the ribbon.
