Little Yellow Bicycle Card

 Hello Fabulous Bloggers!  This is the 3rd installment of the March design team projects for The Scrapbooking Studio/Moline!

This is a step card which was modified from a larger version to accomplish the same look.  A Spellbinders Nestabilities die was cut, embossed and chalked, then layered with a de-bossed sticker to create the focal.  The striped background was hand made from strips of all the Little Yellow Bicycle patterned papers ~ quite an undertaking, but I was really pleased with the end result!

A de-bossed sticker and ticket completed the inside.

These projects really challenged my creativity and I am looking forward to creating something fabulous next month!  Thanks for stopping by the blog today...and Be Inspired!  Jules

Someone Turned 50

Hello Fabulous Fellow Bloggers!  Someone turned 50...It was my Sister!  Even though the inside of the card was a little "in her face" about her age, I still wanted it to be pretty.  Quick Quotes French Quarter was used for all the papers.  Spellbinders Nestability beaded ovals for the focals.  The bird is also Nestabilities, a closer look below. 

 The flower is alternating layers of cream and black silk and paper flowers topped with a seam binding bow.



The stamps are from Paper Wishes Birthday Greetings Set with black Stazon.  The "50" is black glittered Thickers.

 A black skeleton leaf and some tulle layers were also tucked in there, too!

 The card was so thick, an envelo-box was made from matching paper and wrapped with a belly band to match the card front.

I was very happy with the result and my Sis loved the card, so mission accomplished!  Thanks for stopping by the blog today!   Be Inspired!  Jules

Sympathy Card

 Hi Bloggers!  Thanks for stopping by today!  The card being shared today was my first attempt at creating "scenery" with stickers and chalk.  The card was cut and embossed on a Big Shot with a large label die from Spellbinders.  Then, chalk was applied to the background to look like sky and grass.  The path is chalk and brush markers.  Two sets of Mrs. Grossman's stickers were assembled and dimensionalized with tiny slivers of foam squares.  It was a tedious process, but I was pleased with the outcome.  The inside layers were cut from smaller label dies and chalked, stamped with Azure Stazon and finally, embossed with clear embossing powder.
                                                                                    I know, I know ~ no ribbons or bling on this one,   right?  Like I said, it WAS my FIRST attempt at scenery!  Baby steps!
Anyway, I hope everyone is having a fabulous day and thanks for stopping by!
