Blogging over at PaperWorks Co today... same project, but more details here.

*************************************************************************************

This would be 15 cards that Emily thought we needed to make, because a friend of hers is going to Edmonton sometime this month for open heart surgery. I used the June PaperCard Kit & various stamps from PaperWorks Co, as well as some random items from my stash; Emily picked out the papers & embellishments, and I basically just threw it all together. They're all fairly simple cards, and I only wound up using about 1/3 of the kit - which is awesome, considering the kit costs a whopping $11.99CAD.

As a disclaimer, though, I'd like to point out that I only made the fronts from the kit; everything is attached to pre-made 5.5" x 4" white card bases - which is generally how I do every card I make.

Now for some details:

Cut 4x5.5 front from 8.5x11 purple cardstock from Kit. Cut 5x3.5 piece from 6x6 sheet of DoodleBug paper from Kit. Added Dew Drops from Kit. Diecut butterfly; spritzed with various colours of Smooch Spritz. Edged wings, antennae, & body with Stickles.

Cut 5.5x4 front from 8.5x11 purple cardstock from Kit. Used remaining 5x2.5 piece from Doodlebug paper. Stamped Zoie, cut with Nesties Labels 9, coloured with Copics, and edged diecut & patterned paper with Liquid Pearls.

*NOTE - We interrupt this post for an important news update*

*If you've been following the pattern here, yes, there is one 'missing'. I got as far as getting the patterned paper on the cardstock front, then got disrupted. Needed to stamp something else somewhere else, and inadvertently set inky inkpad cover ON previously mentioned front... so it is now hanging out on my desk waiting for an epiphany on how to make it remain useable.*

Anyway...back to the regularly scheduled program:

Cut 5.5x4 front from 8.5x11 blue cardstock from Kit. Used remaining 5x2.5 piece from Doodlebug paper; edged with Stickles. Used random rub-on sentiment from stash; added a few rhinestones from stash. Added button from Kit.

Attached final piece (1x6 - trimmed off remaining .5) of DoodleBug paper from kit to white base; edged with Stickles. Attached heart punched from matching paper that was already in my stash. Added double-sided stickers from DoodleBug, then coated in Lily White DoodleBug Sugar Coating Glitter. Added glitter to centre circle & edges of heart. (This was done before I broke out the Stickles for everything else.)

All those cardstock fronts I cut resulted in .5x5.5 scraps. Added those to a white base, along with random buttons (some from stash & some from kit) and a random sentiment rub-on also from stash.

And TA-DAAAAAAAA! 15 cards - done! We took them to school for Annabelle's classmates to sign, so she can open them during her hospital stay. (Emily will be making her own card for Annabelle, since A's in the 3rd grade, and we wanted her own classsmates to sign them.)

Laters!
