Marvelous Monday - Cupcake Bird

Happy Monday, All!

For this week’s 2 Cute Ink card, I wanted to use the Cupcake Birdie - simple with some patterned paper behind it.  I "painted" the image with Adobe Photoshop - still practicing my skills of painting with the gradient tool.  Makes for a quick and simple birthday greeting.

Penguin Extravagamza!

Thank you for visiting my blog today. It is so much fun to play with new files and bring you different projects each day that showcase different styles.  Sit back with your favorite hot beverage and be inspired this week!

Today I am bringing you a card using 2 Cute Ink's newest members of the Penguin family - Ice Skating Penguin and Penguin Gifts.

I embossed the front of a lime-green card.  I printed the penguins in the middle of a clip art Christmas ornament - then printed an ornament slightly larger for the blue matting.  The penguin ornaments hanging from a couple of Poinsettia flowers make for a cute, festive card.

Enjoy this week's posts....and we'll see you again next week.

Sweet Lady Bug

Hi Everyone,

It's Monday! Today I used the cute little image Sweet Lady Bug.  I used two techniques with this image.  I printed and colored the lady bug (both on the front and inside with a sentiment)....I also cut a couple strawberries on my eClips and pieced them together for an embellishment.  The fabulous word art is a free image by Elegant Wordart by Bethany.

Inside Sentiment

Enjoy all the fabulous projects this week, and we'll see you right back here next Monday. 

Fall in Love with Easel Cards

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for joining me on this beautiful Monday! Today's projects highlight the recently released Fall in Love digi stamp. I was inspired by Timi's easel card and wondered if I could make a shaped easel card using one of the digital images.

So today's projects are two easel cards using the Fall in Love image.

The second card is a twisted easel card...a refreshing "twist" to the traditional easel card. 

I'll see you right back here next Monday!

I detect a birthday!

Hi everyone, I'm back with a fun shaker card using the  Watson Mouse image.

After printing the image I coloured him in with my promarkers and cut it out. I created the the big magnifying glass using some acetate and some fun foam. I cut out lots of little mustaches with my electronic cutting machine and put them behind the glass. The sentiment says: I detect a birthday! and the birthday part is in the inside of the cards.

I hope you like my detective shaker card,

Have fun with these very cute images,

Timi

Back to School with 2 Cute Ink

Hi everyone, it is Timi here today.

Here is a very cute Back to School idea to share with you. Using three different digi stamps I created tags that can be used as bookmarks. I used these fab stamps:
Bear Crayon
Kitty Paint Brush
Penguin Doodle

I die cut tags with Sizzix die and layered different patterned paper on it. I looked around in my Craft corner and found some stickers that were just perfect for these tags.

To decorate the tags I used some washi tape, stickers and some ribbon and pom-pom trim.

I hope you like this idea and will create it for somebody precious going back to school.

Aquarium card with Angel Fish

Hi, it is Timi here today. I am going to show you a quick and fun tutorial on how I created this "aquarium card".

A few things you will need:
Angel Fish Digital Stamp
blue cardstock
piece of acetate

Cut a piece of card stock 4x12 inch. Score it at 4, 4 1/8 and 3 7/8. Cut a window out of the card stock as show in the picture.

Print the Angel Fish twice and only colour one in.

Fussy cut the colored fish out and the other one needs to be cut to match the size of the card.

Place foam adhesive on the coloured fish and adhere it on the other printed fish.

Colour the piece of acetate with alcohol inks

Assemble the card: glue the acetate on the back of the window; glue the panel with the fish on the side that is behind the window. 

You can add white card stock inside for you message.

I hope you liked this idea,

Timi
