Little Cutie Two-For-One

My card today is a "twofer"... as in two-for-one :) This is for today's LSC231 challenge on SCS which was to use only a die cut or punch for you main image (stamped sentiments or backgrounds only). It is also for today's Stampin' B challenge, which was to make a square baby card, using non-traditional baby colors (no pink or blue). This little fat headed baby die is the first Cuttlebug die I ever purchased, and it is still one of my favorites!

With the exception of the polka dotted paper (Colorbok) the other designer papers are form the Basic Grey Lemonade collection, which I purchased from Limelight Papercrafts. The finished size is 3 x 3", which I think is perfect for a gift enclosure.

For Crystal and the Stampin' B's!

This little card is for Crystal {her blog here}, because she is celebrating 10,000 blog hits! We both got started with our blogs around the same time, so I wanted to make sure I helped her celebrate! She's having a blog candy giveaway on her blog to commemorate the event, so be sure to stop by there and get in on the drawing!

This card also fits with the Stampin' B's challenge this week {their blog here}, which was to create a card using only neutrals. That is WAY harder than you would think! I added color to the pearls, flowers and part of the background with my Copic Airbrush (it's still new to me, so I have to use it on everything!) I've been in to making odd sized cards lately, and this one is no different. The finished size is 3 x 5.5".

Ingredients: Stamps: Stampin' Up! {Sincere Salutations}, Basic Grey {Swiss Floral}; Cardstock: Stampin' Up! {Very Vanilla, Chocolate Chip}; Ink: Stampin' Up! {Chocolate Chip}, Tim Holtz distressing ink, Copics; Accessories: Copic Air Brush, Half-Back Adhesive Pearls, Sheer White Polka Dot Ribbon, Dimensionals.

Quick & Easy: Page Marker

This is just a quick little project that many of you have probably seen before, but I thought it was worth sharing!This is a page marker/bookmark, and it just slips over the corner of a book page to save your place. To make all you need to do is cut a piece of cardstock into a square (I made mine with a 4 x 4" piece of cardstock, but you can customize yours to any size). Score your square to make four equal quarters (on mine I scored at 2" on each side). Snip away one of the quarters with your scissors and use adhesive to secure the two ends together (to form the square). I used my Nesties to make scalloped edges by cutting a full scalloped square out (the one that was one size larger than my finished page marker), and then cut it on the diagonal and attached it to the inside of my marker.

This page marker also fits the Stampin' B challenge this week, which was to use both wet and dry embossing on our projects. The Nestie provided the dry embossing, and after I stamped and cut out the Trendy Trees, I covered the entire images in Versamark and clear embossing powder for the wet embossing portion of the challenge. Aside from the use of Nesties, this project is entirely Stampin' Up! Finished Size is 2 x 2".
