Love Is In The Air - ATC

Hello, Friends!  The challenge over at Scrapbook Blessings Club this is to create a card or layout using the theme "Love Is In The Air".   The design team are all creating ATC cards using this theme.

• Theme:  Love Is In The Air - Scrapbook Blessings Club
• Tip:  If you don't have chipboard, create your own by gluing together 3 pieces of regular card stock.
• ATC:  Artistic Trading Card - 3.5" x 2.5"
• Birdcage:  Miss Kate's Cuttables
• Accents:  ribbon, clear glitter pen

ATC Recipe:

• Base / Chipboard:  I cut three pieces of card stock; 3.5" x 2.5" and glued them to each other.
• Mat 1 (red / blue star pattern) = 3.5" x 2.5"
• Mat 2 (blue card border) = 3.5" x 2.5"
• Mat 3 (red border) = 2.5" x .25"

• Birdcage:  from Miss Kate's Cuttables.  Image sized at 2.875" in height.  Three birdcages were cut and glued together to create a thicker image.   Bars of cage outlined using clear glitter pen.  Bird colored with colored pencil.

• Small ribbon & bow glued to top of cage.

Chalkboard Vinyl Decor

Hello, Friends!   I have a project today that was really simple to put together.   I used an old picture frame to create this fun and usable chalkboard for my granddaughter.

• Inspiration for this Project
• Old Picture Frame
• Chalkboard Vinyl
• Square1 Repositionable 
• Digi Stamp - from Beary Wishes
• Image found online

Chalkboard Recipe:

• Frame with glass - found in my back closet (dusty and unused)
• Chalkboard Vinyl - lay vinyl under the glass from the frame and cut around.  Peel backing off vinyl and apply to top of glass.  Reassemble the frame.
• "RACHEL" = cut at 2" using Cooper STD font.  Text was color filled prior to cutting.  I used Square1 to print and cut the letters.  Place text where you want on chalkboard vinyl.

• Cookie Monster = image found using online search.  Trace within Silhouette software.   I sized my Cookie Monster at 2.75" and used Square1 again for printing and cutting.  

• Cupcake = image is a digi stamp from Beary Wishes.  I sized the cupcake at 3".  Square1 was used to print and cut.  I love Square1 because it lets me move my image soooo easily.  Stickles was later added to the hearts and ribbon on the cupcake.
