Cuttle Your Pages Friday 10-8

This week is Breast Cancer Awareness at Cuttlebug Challenge Blogspot, so for my layout I decided to show what I do to get the word out. Our theme was to emboss vellum which is perfect for the soft look I was going for.


Showing is a business card that I make and leave it around town at those stops to the restrooms and/or the table I was sitting out while visiting a restaurant.

My husband took one to work so that it could be put on the Carousel Bulletin board for everyone to see.

Maggie, owner of Cuttlebug Challenge Blogspot, has decided to make some changes on the blog.  This will be the last day for Cuttle Your Pages and Saturday will be the last day for Cuttin' Up Saturday.  Though I won't be highlighting this feature of embossing on layouts at Cuttlebug Challenge Blogspot, please be sure to stop by my blog and see what I have to share with you.

For today, our challenge was to emboss punch cuts.

Our sponsor this week at Cuttlebug Challenge Blogspot is Whoopsi Daisy who treated us with the cutest digital stamps.  While looking at the stamps to choose, I saw a stamp that look familiar.  I knew it wasn't the stamp itself, but something about it so I knew I had to have it.  When I looked at my photos of Nina, I found the photo that made the stamp I was looking at so special.

I knew I had to do a layout of the two side by side, so in my mind I started to format what I wanted my layout to look like. I kept it simple with a glitter border and some embossed flowers.  For my flowers I used French Manor and Lacy Labels.  The centers were cut using my EK Success and Marvey punches.  My title was cut using Cursive 101 and Base Camp. The one top flower is Prima.

In keeping with our Be Inspired Wednesday at Cuttlebug Challenge Blogspot, I am using ATC size cards I received from Crafty Secrets.

After seeing the cards I received from Crafty Secrets, my layout just popped into my head. All I needed to do was take a few photos of Joe’s Flower Garden to bring it all together.

My flower pot and flowers was cut using my Walk In My Garden cartridge. My Prima flowers and cut flowers were then embossed with Textile Texture embossing plate. Small butterflies were punched using my Martha Stewart punch and embossed with Screened Angle for one and Herringbone for the other. The large butterfly is Cuttlebug cut and emboss. My title was printed through my computer.  My heart is one of the cute flowers and folded over to make a dimensional heart.  All cuts were done with Core'dinations cardstock.

For my border, I used 2x12 strips of DCWV cardstock and embossed with my Provo Craft Polka Dot folder. This folder is the 5x7 size which I love.

Welcome back to Cuttle Your Pages Friday at Cuttlebug Challenge Blogspot!!

Today we are embossing digital stamps

How exciting to have Digital Delights by Louby Loo as our sponsor this week!  If you checked out our Be Inspired Wednesday, you experienced an array of inspiration from our Design Team.

Today we are embossing those digital stamps on a layout and you will see how easy that is to do.  To get the size you want for your layout, open a blank page in WORD.  Now click on INSERT and go to your file where you keep your downloaded digital stamps.  Once you click on the one you want, it will then be inserted on your blank page.  When you click on the stamp, it will then allow you to size your stamp to what works for your project.  Depending on the size you choose, you can get several on the one page.  Print and cut and you are ready to bring it alive with color!

Having a large format printer, I was able to print my background right on my Core'dinations cardstock. All stamps were colored with my Copics and then glittered up with Stickles.  The shells around the photo were done with my Paper Doll Dressup cartridge.  My mermaid was printed a couple of times which allowed me to make several cuts for the body and pop dot them.  For the tail and top section, I embossed with Swiss Dots and then used a rub-on by Craft-T products.  The body was embossed with Japanese Scales and that had several colors of the rub-on by Craft-T applied.  My mermaid, tag and fish were popped giving my page more dimension.

Be sure to take our Be Inspired Wednesday Challenge and you will have a chance to win a set of digital stamps!! 

Cuttle Your Pages Friday August 20

Wecome back to Cuttle Your Pages Friday!!

This week our challenge at Cuttlebug Challenge was to emboss titles on a layout.  Yep, that simple, but how many times do we forget to emboss those letters?  I know I keep forgetting and then when I'm done, I remember there was something I wanted to do.  For my layout, the title was cut using my Base Camp cartridge and Core'dinations cardsock.  I love how the Swiss Dots embossing folder works with this cardstock and sanding it makes it pop more!  Papers used were Me and My Big Ideas.

Here is a sample of chipboard I embossed and then I used rub-ons by Craf-T Products for color and a great affect.
