BABY BOY CARD WITH QUICK QUOTES

Today I am sharing with you a New Baby Card I created using Quick Quotes' paper chalking inks and sentiments and Want2Scrap Bling


The 6" x 6" card features paper from Quick Quotes Dream Big Paper Collection.  I used the "A New Baby Boy" sentiment from Quick Quotes Sentiments - 3" x 4" Quote  package and distressed the edges with Caribbean Blue PowderPuff Chalking Inks.  I then added Amber Rhinestones to each of the corners before matting it on the Dream Big paper and adhering it to the card front with pop dots.

I added  Mother of Pearl Rhinestones and Baby Blue Rhinestones to the upper corner.


To finish the card I added Beautiful Bling Borders by Nina Brackett in Chevron for some extra sparkle at the bottom of the card.

Have a great day!

WANT2SCRAP AND QUICK QUOTES CARD

Today on the Want2Scrap Blog I am sharing a card that uses Want2Scrap Bling and Chipboard and Quick Quotes products.  The 6" x 6" card uses paper from  Quick Quotes Sheer Joy Paper Collection.



I added Quick Quotes Sheer Joy Chipboard Die Cuts along the side of the card.  The sentiment is from Quick Quotes Sheer Joy Die Cut Stickers and then I added Silver Rhinestones Swirls and Amber Rhinestones.



I painted the Want2Scrap Large Bird Flourish - Chipboard with DecoArt® Acrylic Gesso and then used Quick Quotes Caribbean Blue PowderPuff Chalking Inks on the bird and Quick Quotes Limeade PowderPuff Chalking Inks on the limb and leaves.  I used a Silver Baby Bling Rhinestone for the bird's eye.   I added Turquoise Rhinestones and

CHEERY CARDS WITH BUTTERFLIES AND FLOWERS

I can't believe August is over already and we are moving into September.  I just wanted to share a couple more cards that were featured on The Robin's Nest Blog during the month of August.  The first card uses the Spring Flowers Glitter Cardstock and I added the coordinating Butterfly Stickers.


I created the 3D flowers using Heartfelt Creations Sun Kissed Fleur Die and Admiral Daisy Glitter Linen Cardstock.    I added Hydrangea Dew Drops and  Hyacinth Dew Drops to the flower centers on the design paper and the 3D flowers.  I matted the sentiment on Peach Glitter Cardstock.


Finally, I added the strip of flower stickers from the Butterfly Stickers to the side of the card front cutting to fit and the cute little bee sticker.  I added Dew Drops to the flower centers on the flower stickers also.


For my next card I used the front ivy and the back striped side of the Ivy Trim Cardstock.  The sentiment is from Heartfelt Creations.  I used the sun sticker from the Butterfly Stickers set and added Dew Drops from Grapes & Leaves Dew Drops and Sun Showers Tear Drops to the upper right corner.


Finally, on this card I added this cute Butterfly Little Friend embellishment.


I hope you enjoyed my bright cheery cards featuring The Robin's Nest  Floral Collection.  Have a great day!
