Theme Day Thursday- Shoes!

 

 Today's theme is to make something with shoes! We are also using pink in honor of Breast Cancer awareness month that is coming up in October! Here is what I came up with. :)

Items used and how to:

• I started with an A2 card base, and some patterned paper. I trimmed the paper to fit the front of my base and wrapped some twine around it. Before securing it to the base, I inked the edges with some Tim Holts distressing ink. 
• Next I cut out my cute little flip-flops at 2 inches from Cheerful Seasons! I had to cut the strap layer multiple times as the strap for the right flip-flop didn't want to cut without coming out in 3 pieces. After trying and trying to get it to cut in one piece, I finally just gave up and pieced it together. I wish it would have cut correctly, but I think it just might be a little to small for it to have a nice crisp cut. 
• I attached my flip-flops to my card base using some pop-dots. 
• The inside is stamped with a sentiment from Pink by Design's Breast Wishes stamp set.

Just a little pick me up

I have a friend that is starting her Chemo tomorrow for Breast Cancer. I have been thinking of all different ways to make the perfect card for her, and finally sat down and made it tonight!

Items used:

• Card base cut to 5.5 x 5.5
• Black card stock cut to 5 x 5 and edges punched with corner punch
• Pink card stock cut to 4 x 4 and edges punched with corner punch
• Pink card stock to cut our SVG cuts
• SVG file for bra cut-outs and PBD stamps that match to make bra markings
• Sentiment stamps
• Ribbon
• Adhesive (ATG, and 3D foam squares) 
• Stickles in silver, clear and yellow 

I started by cutting out the bra's from a PBD SVG file. I love how the files go along with the stamps that they release! I then stamped the bras to add the lines.

Before attaching the black card stock  to the card base, I attached the ribbon to it and hid the edges between the card stock and card base. I then stamped the sentiment and attached the bras to the front of the card.

I then cut and punched the pink card stock for the inside of the card and stamped it. I then used my ATG adhesive to attach it to the inside.

To give the card front a little sparkle, I added stickles to the bras!
