Where Liberty Dwells

Hello there, crafty friends!  It’s Sharon, One Crafty Mrs, from A Piece Of (my) Heart's blog and I’m here today to share another card using this cute Sunsational Stamps digi named Patriotic Patricia .  You can find her in the store, here.

Once again, I found some great digital papers to use and printed them out on my printer along with the little cutie, Patriotic Patricia, and some stars.  I then used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the banners and the digi stamp.  I colored the digi with my Copics and then added my banners, the stars, and the sentiment to finish off the card.

I hope you love my card as much as I do!

Summer Picnic Fun

Hello there, crafty friends!  It’s Sharon, One Crafty Mrs, from A Piece Of (my) Heart's blog and I’m here today to share another card using this cute Sunsational Stamps digi named Daisy.  You can find her in the store, here.

This card was made using digital papers from Pixel Scrapper.  I’ve really come to like using them as I can pick and choose what I want and there is no waste of pieces I will never use like sometimes happens with paper packs.  It doesn’t seem to take up a lot of ink like I thought it might either.  I think, in the long run, it’s probably cheaper.

I cut an 8.5x11-inch 110lb piece of cardstock at 5.5-inches on the long side.  This makes a top-folding A2 card.  I chose the yellow with white polka dots digital paper and cut that to 4.25x5.5-inches and adhered that to my card front.  It completely covered the front of the card.  Then I cut the “Life’s A Picnic” cardstock to 3.75x5-inches and adhered it on top of the previous piece.  I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the free clipart picnic scene and added a black mat behind it.  I also cut a free clipart umbrella to add to the scene and I popped it up with some dimensionals.

Daisy was cut with my Cameo and I colored her with Copics see color chart).  Then I popped her up onto the beach blanket with dimensionals.

I hope you love my card as much as I do!

Octopi’d Heart

Hello there, crafty friends!  It’s Sharon, One Crafty Mrs, from A Piece Of (my) Heart's blog and I’m here today to share another card using this cute Sunsational Stamps digi, from the Ocean Critters stamp set.

I really love this card.  I think it is going to be an all-time favorite of mine. This card was made using digital paper found on the Pixel Scrapper site. If you have never visited Pixel Scrapper you should!  Signing up is free and you will get 5 FREE downloads per day.  It’s a great way to build your digital paper collection!

I printed this cute little Octopus from the set and colored him with Copics.  The hearts border was made with my Silhouette Cameo.  I chose 2 heart shapes and colored one with a background pattern and one with a solid color. I lined them up across a 5-inch rectangle that I had drawn and then used my spacing tool to make sure they were spaced evenly across the rectangle.  I printed this onto some white cardstock and adhered it to a black piece of cardstock.  The sentiment was typed into my Silhouette Cameo software and printed onto a piece of white cardstock which I also matted with some black cardstock.  With the leftover black cardstock I cut out a circle and a flag.  I layered another circle cut from some digital background paper on top of the black circle.  Once everything was cut, I adhered all the pieces onto a piece of 110 lb. white cardstock cut to 5.5-inches wide X 4.25-inches high.

I hope you love my card as much as I do!

No Disguising Dad

Hi there crafty friends, Sharon aka One Crafty Mrs. here to share my Monday make with you.  I had a little help and used Lori Whitlock’s Circle Flip Swing card file for the Silhouette Cameo to make today’s card.  I used the faces from the King Of The Grill set by Lisa @ Sunsational Stamps. 

 

 

It may look simple but this card gave me a run for my money trying to figure out how to fold it, lol.  Once I figured that out, I printed the faces and cut them each into a small circle to fit. I cut 3 more larger circles out to layer behind the faces.  I used my PrismaColor Markers and a couple of Copics to color the faces.  I cut 3 more small circles out of white cardstock and 3 more larger circles to layer behind them.  Then I laid all of those pieces aside for the time being.

 

 

 

I used the template from the card file to cut two pieces of cardstock for the front and inside panel of my card. I used a PrismaColor Marker to run along the edge of the cardstock to give it some definition.  Then I adhered it to the card front with some Tombo Multi Mono Liquid Glue.  I cut another piece of cardstock and adhered it to the inside.

 

 

 

The final step was to attached the faces to the front and the sentiments to the inside.  I added a piece of washi tape and called it done!

Hoppy Mother’s Day

Hello!  It’s Sharon from A Piece Of (my) Heart and I’m here today to share another card using this cute Sunsational Stamps digi, from the “Hoppy” set.
 

With Mother’s Day being just a couple of weeks away, I thought this little fella would make a cute card.  I printed the bunny and the hearts onto a piece of white cardstock and then ran it through my Cameo to cut each of the images out.  I wanted to show him holding a heart so I printed the stamp twice, cut the paws off the one bunny and set them aside.  I used my Copics and colored the bunny with W-3 and W-4 and added a little R21 to the cheeks and ears.  I used R27 for the hearts.  Once everything was colored I glued the big heart onto the first bunny so that it was positioned on top of the paws.  Then I placed a couple of 1/8-inch foam dimensional dots on the back of the second set of paws and layered them over top of the paws on the first bunny.  I used the dimensional dots to pop up the bunny and added a few more hearts beside it.

All designer papers used were digital and printed on white cardstock and then cut to size.
