GARDEN OF LOVE

Happy New Year!!!
Hello everyone, it's Martha Lucia here today and it's so good to share a card I've made using the Tree Bare, one of my favorite cut out embellishments! When I saw this cut out in the Unique Laser Design Store, I just knew I had to get my hands on it.



I started by creating my card in a 6"x6" size over textured white card stock (close). Then I created all the pieces to decorate my card in my Cricut Explore using the Design Space. With this program I cut the grass, the fence, the clouds and the small hearts.

After this small process, I started to work with my Tree Bare. This product is available in wood, chipboard and cork. I chose mine in chipboard to use with distress inks and markers to give texture and color. I used the Tim Holtz Distress Ink colors Antique Linen and Vintage Photo to get the wood color and for the end of the branches I used  PITT artist pen big brush from Faber Castell in colors Light Green and Earth Green.


Then I took all my paper pieces and began the big process, but don't be scared. It was very easy! I just cut a square of bashful blue cardstock and pasted it over the base of my card. Also I cut a frame in textured cardstock (red) and pasted it over the entire base and using dimensionals and glue dots I stuck each of the parts beginning by the clouds, tree bare and last one the fence.


After this part, I pasted the fences and using Tombo Multi Liquid Glue I started to paste the hears over the branches.


To finalize the project, I cut and embossed a little butterflies with the embosslits Beautiful butterflies from Stampin Up and pasted these with dimensionals.


Materials:
Tree Bare - UNIQUE LASER DESIGN, Cricut Explore, Cardstock, Adhesives, Big Shot, Embosslits Beautiful Butterflies.



I really liked the simplicity and colors of this project and how the tree bare gave the real touch to my garden of love. I hope you liked too. Happy crafting!

Up, Up, & Be Happy!!!!

Hi there crafters!
Rachelle here sharing my latest project using


I went with a card.
"Be Happy"

Started off by simply painting each cut out,
then applying gloss varnish to make them really stand out.

 Next, after the cut outs dried I began creating the
card using white cardstock.
I used a edge punch and added a thin piece
of Echo Park The Record2 cardstock. I then added
more die cut clouds and light blue ink for
a sky effect.

 Finally I added the "be happy" stamp and a few
embellishments.
All done!!! 

I hope you have be inspired to create something special
using wood cut outs from
You will be glad you did.

Thanks for stopping by today!
See Ya Soon!

"Enjoy The Little Things"

I started this project by painting the tree, butterflies, and ladybugs.
All from
Unique Laser Designs.
I paper punched the cardstock to look like a fence.
Then I added a white fence I made from my stash.

Next, for the dots on the ladybugs I used cotton from Q-tips, inserted
through the holes and dabbed each with black paint. Then put on the eyes using white paint.
Using wiggle eyes is another great idea too.

Next, I added grass and little tulips The first ladybug is attached to wire so that
it appears to be flying upwards, away from the others.
Simple floral wire works great. It gives the ladybug a wiggle affect.
Finally, I added the title, a cute little bow, pearl, and a tiny butterfly.

There you have it!
I so enjoyed creating this project and as always working with
Unique Laser Design products.
I just love it!

That's it for now. Thanks for stopping by and remember
