Bathing Beauties Card in a Box

Summer is in the air here in Arizona, the mercury is over 90 degrees here today. HOT!! It was a good day to play with these bathing beauties:
 

 

You can find them here: Ewe-N-Me Printables. You get 6 different images in 2 different sizes for a total of 12 images and you can print as many pages as you need. I really love the retro look of these images.

 

Collage sheets are perfect for making a Card in a Box.

 

 
After I printed and cut my images out, the card was very easy to assemble, I just followed the general instructions for cutting and assembling the card then added Deena's darling images,  a sentiment and some flowers.
 

 

 

All of the papers are from my stash as well as all of the flowers.

 

Thank you for stopping by to take a look.

 

 

Easter Bunnies Collage Sheet



Easter is right around the corner so I have been busy getting my cards ready to mail. The 4 cards that I have for you today are all from this darling collage sheet: Ewe-N-Me Printables.

 

There are 19 total different images per sheet and you can print as many sheets as you need. This sheet is really nice to use if you want to make all of your cards different. 

 



 

 
Two bunnies in love, isn't it a sweet image? A little washi tape, a few sequins, a little twine and computer generated sentiment and your card is complete.

 
I think this is my favorite image from the sheet, I added a doily, washi tape, Imaginisce jewels, sequins and a computer generated sentiment.

 

All of these cards were very fast and easy to make, the film strip style images were perfect for my film strip die.

I was able to use up some scraps on the sentiments and the film strip die cuts.
 

Easter Card In A Box

Evidently I have been on a bit of a, "card in a box" binge, this is the 3rd one I've made recently. But when I saw this beautiful collage sheet I decided that it was perfect for a card in a box. Aren't these angels beautiful?
 

 

You can find the file here: Ewe-N-Me Printiables.  You get 2 sizes of 6 different images for a total of 12 images per sheet and you can print as many as you need.

 



After cutting out and choosing my images, I used 3 large images on the bottom of the box and 3 small images on the top of the box,  I went to work on measuring, cutting, scoring and folding my box. I put my images onto the box before I assembled it because it is easier that way.

 

 

 

  

I used my Cricut to cut the, "Happy Easter" and the flowers with the Easter 2010 cartridge. I added some jewels to the flower centers and a couple around the upper portion of my card.

 

If you haven't made a card in a box before, here is a very good tutorial: Card in a box tutorial.

 

Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy New Year!!! For some quick and easy New Year's cards this file is perfect.
 

 

There are 6 different images and you get 2 of each image in 2 different sizes for a total of 12 images. I used the larger sized images for my cards.

 



 

All of the images are really cute but I think these 2 are the cutest, I love the little cherub faces peeking into the window and my carefree childhood days of sledding in Michigan's snowy winters. I am trying to decide which one to send to my son and his wife in Tokyo, New Years is their big holiday.

 

 

After cutting out the images I backed them with a piece of lightweight chipboard (repurposed cereal box) and inked the edges.

 

 

I embossed the card bases with the a snowflake embossing folder, I used my favorite dot embossing folder on the blue layers. I inked the edges on all of the layers and added gold sequins.

 





 

Easter Cards

Easter is right around the corner and Deena has several Easter Printables to choose from. I really like this collage sheet featuring vintage Easter images.    

 

You get 5 total images, two 4" squares and three 3" egg shapes.

 



I made two different card designs:

 

 

 

 

For my first card I used Kraft paper for the card base and added a pink background with an Easter ribbon, a few Imaginisce jewels and I was finished with card 1.
 

 

For the second card I added a border stamp from Close to My Heart, sentiment stamp from my stash and a few sequins along with the background paper and ribbon.

 

 

 

The third card is an accordion fold, I used the 3 egg shaped images after starting with a cream card base that I added a touch of color to with my eBrush. I used some scraps to make the layer under the images and I embossed them with my eBosser and Swirltangle folder.

 

The butterflies are some brads from my stash that I cut the backs off of and glued them to the card. I also used a couple of decorative buttons and a bow made with a Couture die set which I won from Create and Craft TV, a few sequins and sentiment which is printed on vellum. I inked all of the edges.

 

Deena's Printable files are so easy to use, just print cut and design, they make the, "work" go very fast so you still have plenty of time to get a few cards made and mailed.
