A Splish Splash Layout with Queen & Company Summer Fun Collection

Today I created a layout using the Queen & Co. Summer Fun Collection.

This is the second post for today.  For a great Layout using theWe R Memory Keepers Fiesta Collection scroll down or click HERE

My daughter took my grand babies to a park in my neighborhood that has a water fountain? on the ground. Lauren said she was thirsty and waited for the water to come out to drink up some! I just love the pictures my daughter snapped of her.

I was able to use several Cricut cartridges to create this layout using my Gypsy.
H2O - Splish Splash title cut twice
Pack Your Bags - Pool like background
Speaking of School - Water Fountain (hand cut the water)
Sports Mania - Making a Splash title (hide contour - only use the water)
Wall Décor and More - Water border

I used a Tim Holtz white paint dubber to highlight all around the water and added some MS glitter.

Stripes	Wave
Beach Ball	30mm brads
Adirondack Dabber	Cricut

We R Memory Keepers FIESTA

Love this layout my friend Ann Corbierre Scott created 

We R's Fiesta line was the perfect thing for celebrating this precious time spent with my sister, eating mexican food! 

The metal flowers are the bomb! 

Love all the colors and textures of this line!

Believe Purple Card

Welcome to HappyNScrappin'
Today I have a tutorial for the card I created for the
 Royal Purple Freedom Blog Hop
Several of you asked me to please show how I created
this card on my blog and over on Facebook.
So I will show you how with items available at the STORE you too can create this card!

Well, here it goes.  I hope I explain it well and don't confuse any.

 Items I used (I will list them at the end of this tutorial).

 Here a closer look at the stamps I purchased to create this card.

1- Cut the 12"x12" piece of purple cardstock at 5" (you are left with a 7"x12" to use for card base and a 5"x12" to use for the top front of the card and the Cricut cuts).

2- Trim 2" off longest side of the 7"x12" so that you end up with a 7"x10" - this is your card.
3- Trim the 5"x12" at 7" (to end up with a 5"x7" [the size of the card]to use as the top front of the card or the piece you will run through your embossing machine.

 This is what the 12"x12" piece of cardstock should look after making all cuts.

 4- Score the 7"x10" at 5" or half of cardstock using the longest side.

 5- Fold (this is your card base).

(ouch, too bright!)

 6- Take the 5"x7" piece of cardstock and place on the 5"x7" embossing folder.

 7- Run through your embossing machine.

 8- Use a pick to take the small tiny pieces that you might end up with (8 of them).

 9- Stamp the Believe (or front) stamp using white ink on the 3 1/2" x 5" piece of vellum.

10- Adhere the stamped piece of vellum under the top front embossed 5"x7" piece.

11- Stitch with sewing machine or my hand? around top front piece
12- Adhere to front of the card base

13-Adhere the butterflies and decorate (add pearl drops with Viva Pearl Pen-Ice White and Iridescent jewels -- You may use tiny pearls if you do not have a Viva Pearl Pen).

14-Stamp inside sentiment with white ink and adhere butterfly
15-Decorate to taste.

BUTTERFLIES
1- Cut 3 butterflies at 1.51", 1.27" and 1.12" using Cricut Kate's ABC's
a- Cut butterflies' base using the 2"x7" cardstock
b- Cut butterflies' layer using a piece of vellum

TIP - To give the butterflies the 3D look, adhere only the inside of the wings using a small amount of glue and lift the wings with your fingers.

A Layout using MME Lime Twist

Hi! this is Gaby with a Layout using My Mind's Eye Lime Twist!

I used in addition to the Lime Twist Collection that you can find at the STORE, the Cricut cartridge, Kate's ABC's and Accent Essentials in addition to the Gypsy.  You can also find ProvoCraft items at HappyNScrappin'

I used Kate's ABC's to create my Subway lettering?/Title. Using my Gypsy I was able to weld all the letters with the butterfly while changing the height and width of every letter.  I also cut some butterflies from the same cart.

 Instead of adhering the butterfly's layers/wings with regular adhesive, I used 3D foam.

Remember to click on any picture to view larger!

I used My Mind's Eye Lime Twist 6"x6" inch paper pad. 
I cut the outer frame using Cricut Accent Essentials.
