July Designer Inspiration - Judy

Hello there!

It''s Judy here with my inspiration project for July.

 I have created a slimline card using

I Will Make You Fishers of Men

I like that this digi set has several images that can be used

individually or in combination.

I colored the digi I used with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut.

My background was done with cloud and grass stencils from newton's Nook.

The sentiment was die cut using 2 different dies that I combined.

March Designer Inspiration - Judy

Hello there!

I'm sharing my inspiration project for the month of March.

It is a card I created using

Bird in My Hair.

I colored the image with Copic and Arteza Everblend Markers.

It was fussy cut and added on to a layered die cut oval.

I die cut the top of the background piece with a 

Crafters' Companion Create a Card Die.

The sentiment was die cut using 

Impression Obsession Greetings Set Dies.

I added washout tape near the bottom of the card and gems.

I hope you'll check this digi and all the 

other products available at

Vannessa's December Inspiration Post Featuring Candy Cane Fairy

Good morning everyone and welcome to my DT inspiration post for December. This month I thought I would go for a cute Christmas image and chose to use the adorable, sleeping Candy Cane Fairy. I love using non-traditional colours for my Christmas and Winter cards especially when using fairies, so opted for a bright pink and turquoise combo and love how it came out!

You can pop over to my blogpost here to read more about this card and the colour combos I used to colour her.

November Inspiration Post - Vannessa

Good Morning everyone! Vannessa here, the newest member of the Cute As A Button Design Team. I was recently asked to join and jumped at the chance as I just love Francesca's images!

For my first inspiration post, I chose to use the gorgeous Miss Frosty I just love her adorable snowman (or snowwoman, really!) outfit and her fluffy boots! 

I just love to use pretty papers and lots of layers on my cards and very rarely do you find a card of mine without some ribbon or embellishments of some kind! I went for a mostly red and white colour combo, but it was too much red with all red papers, so added the aqua and I love how it makes Miss Frosty pop that much more! 

I coloured the image with Copic markers and added some touches of red glitter glue to the snowflakes as well as some clear sparkle pen to the sentiment die cuts. 

I hope you love my first project as much as I do! You can pop over to my blogpost here to read more about this card and the colour combos I used to colour her.

Hello there!

It's Judy here sharing my inspiration project for this month.

It is a card that can be given for any occasion.

I used on elf my favorite stamps,

Perfume Queen

I colored the image with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut.

I die cut the background in silver matte metallic card stock.

The die cut is matted with black glitter card.

June Designer Inspiration - Judy

Hello there!

It's Judy here with my inspiration project for this month.

I've created an altered frame using

Spring Daisies.

I started by coloring the image with Prismacolor Premier Pencils and fussy cutting.

I took a small wood frame from Michaels and traced it

on to the backside of the DP and cut.

Next the paper was decoupaged to the frame front.

I die cut layered ovals for the image backing and adhered

to the frame opening. I added daisies that were die cut and rolled,

a black bow created with ribbon and a title out of dazzles stickers.

Altering frames is one of my favorite things to craft

and love the way this one turned out.

November Inspiration - Saphron

Hey fellow crafters!

For this month’s inspiration, I decided to get out of my comfort zone on two accounts: use bright colours, and make my first “get well soon” card. Hopefully Sickly Susan on this card can make someone’s day a bit brighter when they’re feeling unwell!

I’ve used copics to colour her, and papers and brads. For the full details of my card, have a look at my blog.

This month I created, yet, another altered frame

with an image from the

Wizard of Oz Bundle.

I think you'll all recognize this one as the Tin Man.

This is the last image in the bundle for me to use.

I've showcased the other 4 in previous posts.

They are some of my favorites and I love

playing with the inexpensive frames I use for altering.

I colored with Prismacolor Premier Pencils nd fussy cut.

The background paper is decoupaged to the frame.

I used some die cuts to embellish thproject.

I created the flowers with heart die cuts.

The inspirational quote is from The Wizard of Oz.

September Inspiration - Judy

Hi there!

It's Judy here

sharing this altered frame I created using

the Scarecrow image from the

Wizard of Oz Bundle.

I colored the image with Prismacolor Premier Pencils and fussy cut.

The background paper from my stash

was decoupaged onto a wood frame.

I used square Gemni dies to create a frame around the opening.

I found the quote on the internet and generated on the computer.

The sunflowers are layered stickers from Recollections.

As I've said before, I love these Wizard of Oz digis and

August Designer Inspiration - Judy

Hi there!

It's Judy here sharing an altered frame project.

I used the Dorothy image from the

Wizard of Oz Bundle.

I printed the image, colored with Prismacolor Premier Pencils and fussy cut.

I found a patterned paper in my stash to use as the background.

I used the frame as a template to cut out the patterned paper.

Next I painted the back and edges of the frame in

a coordinating acrylic paint.

The next step is to decoupage the pattern paper to the frame front.

I found a quote I liked to fit my theme and sized it to

fit the frame opening.

I had layered poppy stickers from Recollections in my stash

which worked great as embellishments.

Added a bow and the image.

I love these Wizard of Oz digis and hope you'll check them out

along with all the other  products available at

Cute As A Button!

And, we hope you'll join us each month for the Blog Challenge

Until next time,
