Lisa's baby set

The minute I saw these cards, I knew I had to CASE them.  I loved how the curve of the mat stack  matched the scallop border.

I made a rainbow of colours.

I made some minor adjustments for supplies I had; stamped polka dots instead of patterned paper, no stamping on higher panel, different ribbon treatments, white as well as kraft bases, and once I stamped a few of the squiggles I decided I liked it better without them.

I never tire of stamping white ink on coloured cardstock.  It makes such an impact.

Supplies; Stamps - Little bitty bird, Mat stack 2, Polka dot basics 2, Paper - Spring moss, Lemon tart, Sweet blush, Lavender moon, Aqua mist, white, kraft, Other - Mat stack 2 die, circle punch, Large scallop border die, copics, ribbon in colours matching cardstock, buttons.

PTI blog hop - scallops

The challenge - to incorporate scallops.  There are five scallops altogether - Fillable frame #4 is the mat, the sentiment is on two of the 'scalloped' die cuts from Limitless Layers circles, which themselves form a scallop shape, and then the button are arranged in somewhat of a scallop.


I stamped the bird images onto felt (which made a faint outline) and then cut out by hand, and then outlined with a T4 copic.  I had a great time picking out my buttons - probably the most time intensive part of this project!

Supplies; Stamps - Little bitty bird, Paper - Library Ledger PP, cream, kraft, fine linen, Ink - dark chocolate, T4 copic, Other - buttons (New leaf, Hawaiian shores, Aqua mist, cream), dies (Fillable Frame 4, Limitless Layers circles 1 3/4''), felt (Hawaiian shores, Simply chartreuse), twine.

Aqua bitty bird

All the talk of button dies has gotten me using lots of my (regular) buttons.  I also got some new copics so had to try them out.  The polka dot background is stamped in Aqua but hard to see.  I cut out the birds by hand.  And (gasp!) I distressed the edges of the image.
