Sneak Peek: Heartily Yours and a new Perfect Pattern!

Nina Brackett has two totally fun and funky sets this month: "Heartily Yours" and "Heartily Yours Additions", the first a set of both trendy (lava lamp, groovy baby!!!) to timeless classics ( like this VW bug, hee hee!) and a set of extra greetings for even more options! I stamped the Bug in black and colored the open space she has for flames with some red and yellow Copics, cut it out and popped up, adding some adhesive nail heads to the wheels. isn't that cute how she did the sentiment , it's perfect with the little car! I cut some hearts with my Cuttlebug Dies in Rocket Red and mounted it on White, Black Onyx and Rocket Red base. I used the Scor-bug to make a little dotted road. Is that a fun card, or what??

Below is my original design for the card, I just changed it to the one above because I couldn't get it photographed as well as I would have liked but thought I'd go ahead and share the best pic becuase I still like the concept! This is a side-fold card, with the front scored in the middle and folded back, so it looks like a backward "Z" when you stand it up and view from the top.

The bug is attached on the left side so when it's pressed flat the car is right in the middle with the little swirly sentiment coming out of the tail pipe, but then when you open it up fully it looks like the bug has sped away down the street, so to speak! It's hard to see in the pic, but I cuttlebugged a little trim underneath the car to ground it. Congrats Nina on another great set! (That lava lamp is calling me!! LOL!)

Now here's another peek at my new oven I previewed last week, our first Perfect Pattern Pop Up from Gina K Designs! I know from surfing around tons of your are enjoying the free download of the pop up desk(and makign the cuuutest little ards with it!), so you know how easy these pop up templates are to install! :) This works much the same way but has all the details to create a kitchen in your card in no time! This template will be available for purchase tomorrow night for only $1.95, and you can print it out to use as many times as you like! It coordinates perfectly with my "Have a Cookie" set, but today I wanted to also show how you can sneak in a few images from Nina's "Lovely Shelf" to make you little baking spot even more lovely! After stamping her shelf on the wall above, I added my cookie jars and rolling pin, then "hung" my little measuring spoons from the scroll bracket! If you cut down the vase a little shorter, it fits perfectly under the shelf. I made the tile floor by stamping the the solid square from my "Hip to be Square" set in black on Pure Luxury White, the base is the new Lipstick Red. I embossed a scrap of it with the Victoria Cuttlebug folder and cut a little trapezoid for a kitchen towel. I could do some serious cooking in baking in a kitchen like this, couldn't you? ;)
