My Daughter Maizy has had a loose tooth for weeks, it is just about ready to let go, she lost her first tooth a couple of weeks ago and her new teeth are ready to come in. So when I hear my son yell “Look, your tooth came out!” I ran to Maizy to see her missing tooth…Well, it wasn’t Maizy, it was her twin sister Lila’s tooth that popped out, it was barely loose and she didn’t even notice it come out, we thought we had lost it but after much searching it was on her shirt the whole time:)
Digital Paper: Lindsay's stamp Stuff, Punch: EK Success, Black paper: DCWV, Stamp: Fiskars, Font: LD Buttercream
I snapped this picture right after she lost the tooth, I only took one because this was so perfect. I used new paper from my Uptown houndstooth paper pack (on sale for $2.50) and paper from DCWV, I added some crotched flowers and I cut the title with my Cricut using SCAL software and the font LD buttercream. I think it is Fabulous!
I was looking for some basic houndstooth paper for a while and darn it, I couldn’t find any! So I decided I would make some myself and make them EXACTLY the way I wanted. Here are a few projects made with my new Shabby Houndstooth papers available at Lindsay’s Stamp Stuff:
Here is a look at the papers, the Shabby Houndstooth paper pack has a lightly distressed and textured look and the pattern is smaller, while the Uptown Houndstooth pack had a clean bold look with a larger print. All paper in both packs are 12″x12″ at 300 dpi and they are on sale for $2.50 each!
6 papers on sale for $2.50 for a limited time:)Also on sale for $2.50 for a limited time!
To print my papers to scale on my 8.5″x11″ printer I selected “8.5”x11″ borderless” then clicked “center on page” and made sure the scaling box said 100%. You can print it smaller if you like too, it is digital so it is up to you! I also used Digital stamp from the Love Grows here set on this page and a cute SVG photo mat from Mujka Design that you can cut with your Cricut if you have SCAL software. I used my Cricut to cut the scalloped mat on the card and the woven heart valentine pocket, you can get that SVG in the Sweet Treat SVG set. The stamp on the card is also from the Love Grows here set.
I used inexpensive Bic Markits to color the digital stamps!To get a nice blended color with my Bic Mark-its I first colored the leaves with bright green, then colored the highlight with yellow (t will lighten the green like magic!) then I added dark green shadows and blended them with the bright green. The cherries are done the same way, I colored them bright red, colored the highlights with pink, then outlined them with a dark berry color and blended that with the bright red, it took seconds and the effect is wonderful!I realized after I took the photo that this is the back of the pocket so the heart ribbon is upside down, oh well, nobodies perfect 🙂
And now for the freebie! I got a little wild making some papers the other day and I thought my blog readers could use a little bit of funkyness so here are some funky woodgrain papers for ya, enjoy!
