A Little Cutie with Cuttlebug!



        
Good morning!
                         Sandee here with a quick and easy tutorial to create this sweet little card!
Welcome to Rendez vous Monday!

1Rendezvousmonday


Here are the supplies I used:






Here is how to create this card:

1. Cut all of the card stock and designer paper to size.  This is a regular A-2 card.
2. Run card stock and designer papers through cuttlebug with the embossing folder. 
Cut out the pennants and bird from the designer paper and sponge with matching inks. 
Cut out ovals and add the sticker.
3. Adhere the pennants using the white card stock as your guide.  Glue down the lace and ribbon.  Make tiny bows with Bow Easy and glue them down.
4.  Add the sentiment oval with foam tape.  Then use the i-rock tool to add the bling.  Attach another sheet of designer paper to the front of the card and then add your decorated piece on top.
5.  Complete your card by decorating the inside.  I don't do this step often enough but it is a nice touch.




Thank you so much for visiting with us today!
Hope you enjoyed my little tutorial and hope you have a wonderful Monday!

Gender Party Reveal (boy or Girl)?

Hi Everyone,

Happy Saturday and Spring break. I’m thrill to be a guest designer at Mixology Craft sharing a fun Gender Reveal Party idea or a gift if you are attending one.

I must say since I had my baby 17 years ago, I had no idea what a gender party was, it’s not what I thought it was lol…

It seems this idea has been going on for the past few years and it’s on it’s way to become mainstream soon.

Doesn’t it sound like a great idea to throw a party?

Here’s the frame I created.

Have a fabulous weekend,

Don’t forget our linking party going on now,

Orange Blossoms with a Linking Party!

Hi Everyone,
Happy St Patrick's day!
The Oranges are in full bloom and there’s nothing more wonderful than the sweet aroma of
Orange Blossoms. I know the bees are on the verge of extinction and a huge concern regarding cross pollination the bees does for our plants.
I have to admit they might be living in my backyard, today I saw a queen bee, unfortunately too many bees swarming around to gather my camera.
Here’s some shots I did take. Feel free to use any of them :)
