Bienvenidos Card Pink By Design

Lately I have been cleaning my studio up.  While I was organizing stamps, I realized I had never sued this set of stamps from Pink By Design. So I decided to break them in with a fun Welcome card. If you love daily inspiration, Please check out the Pink By Design Blog.  I am sharing my card there today as well.
This card is really very simple.  All the papers are from Cricut Imagine Audrey.  I used art metal for part of the backing.  I ran it through the Cuttlebug with the Madison Embossing Folder to give it nice deep embossing. I then layers a circle cut at 3.75 inches from Cricut George and Basic Shapes Cartridge out of both chipboard and cardstock.  Inside the circle, I added a shape that is from Musical Flourish Cuttlebug Embossing Plus folder.  I stamped the shape with a Pink By Design sentiment from Say It In Spanish using Staz On ink in the center.
Here is a step by step instruction and supply list if you want to duplicate this design:

Robot Party Canvas

I love experimenting with canvas.  This home decor piece is one of my favorites.  It was really easy to make.  Today I am sharing this project not only with my readers but the readers at She's A Sassy Lady. The entire project was made with the Cricut cartridge Robot Party.
This project was made for a manufacturer.  As a result I did not do a full photo tutorial.  But I do have a complete list of instructions to duplicate this project.
Cut List
<NameTgLyr> 3.0 inches (real size on)
<Card1Lyr> 4.0 inches (real size on)
<Card1Lyr> 4.0 inches (real size on) FLIP
<RoboPrty> 5.0 inches (real size off)
<CpckWpLr> 3 inches (real size on)
Supplies
Canvas
Silver Contact Paper
Transfer Tape
Metal Embellishments- nuts, caps, washers
Acrylic Paint
Sponge Brush
Modge Podge Matte
E6000
Robot Patterned Fabric
Robot Party Cartridge
Directions
  1. Using an inexpensive canvas, paint a thin layer of blue acrylic paint along sides and across the front.
  2. Once dried, measure and cut a piece of fabric to cover canvas and sides.
  3. Smear a thin layer of Modge Podge Matte on canvas.
  4. Lay down fabric
  5. Smear another coat of Modge Podge Matte on top of the fabric.
  6. Repeat Layering the Modge Podge twice, drying in between coats.
  7. Cut <NameTgLyr> <CpckWpLr> <Card1Lyr> <CardLyr> Flip and <RoboPrty> from Silver Contact Paper, using settings: 3Depth, 3 Pressure, 3 Speed.
  8. Weed out the vinyl and using transfer tape, lift the contact paper form backing and place onto the dried canvas.
  9. Smooth the cuts down firmly
  10. Using E6000, adhere several small metal embellishments, including, nuts, bolts, washers
  11. Once the metal has dried, run a 1 inch wide strip of Terrifically Tacky Tape to the sides of the canvas. Removing the liner on one side at a time, begin to pleat the ribbon up about an inch and then down an inch. Continue this all the way around the canvas.
I did not make the pleating “perfect” since the theme is a bit quirky, playful and fun
I hope you enjoyed my project! As always I appreciate the time you take to leave me a comment.
