I chose this cute little frog as my file, isn't she the cutest?
I used the paper I got from Connie's store, it's called Authentique: Darling Girl.
 I just love her!
I put her on a twisted easel card.

Lucky Me~Lucky You

Pin It
Hi everyone!  It's Kim from Katydid Cards and it's my turn to post today...I look forward to this every month!

Here's the project I'm sharing using the Lucky Titles by Miss Kate Cuttables, our sponsor this month.  Both titles are included in the file, so I decided to use both because they just belong together!



I decided to turn these titles into rocker cards and I think they turned out nicely.  If you're not familiar with rocker cards, it's just a circle scored and folded down the middle. 

My color palette started with the patterned paper from the Irish at Heart Kit by Linda's Digi Creations.  I colored the greeting and shamrocks using the various greens in the kit and imported a solid colored paper to create the background.

After printing the plaid, I matched it to the Cucumber Crush card stock by Stampin' Up.  Before attaching the plaid paper, I embossed it with the Square Lattice embossing folder.  A little bit of bling in the form of green sequins and the front was finished.


 I printed the sentiment using the AlwaysHere font, color matched to the card stock.



Here's the second card; essentially the same as the first.



I made this card first as a joke because it's pretty egotistical, don't you think?  Then I thought it would be a cute idea to include both cards in one envelope...a matched set, so to speak.



I want to mention Miss Kate Cuttables, our sponsor, again and invite you to visit them on their website here, their store here and their Facebook galleria here.


And don't forget the monthly challenge at Connie Can Crop.  This month we have a sketch challenge.


Here's the sketch:



One winner, picked at random, will receive three cut files of their choice from Miss Kate.  Connie's Design Team will also pick their three favorite entries.  You'll receive a badge to place on your blog or social media...plus bragging rights!  For more information, just click here.

Guest DT Maria Pilar

Pin It
I am so excited to announce our next Guest Designer for 2017 here at Connie Can Crop...
Maria Pilar
from
Un Poco Para Compartir
So excited to have our dear friend and follower from Spain as a special guest designer this month!!


I used white and red cardstocks under a mixed media background made with gesso and acrylic paint. On it, I did the sketch with washi tape and printed the others forms of the set "Heart flourished" on vellum paper, creating another background. The main flowery heart is cut into textured red cardboard. The sentiment is stamped with Stazon Black Sherry. And finally I used a ribbon of tassels.


BE sure to stop by Maria's Blog and leave her some love! She was an awesome Guest DT!!



Interested in being a guest DT on my blog? Send me an email or
message with a photo of your favorite project and let me know!
