happiness Always - PCP CUTTLEBUG-ERS #60

I can't believe we are up to challenge #60! But we are and I found, through visiting a random blog stroll Ikki's Cuttlebug Cupboard and this card in paticular.
She did her card a little differently but for the most part the directions are the same.
Below are my instructions following Ikki's guidelines.

First I used the D'Vine Swirls folder across the card embossed, lightly inked and added 2 score lines.

The 2 half circles DO NOT OPEN. They were made by cutting the 2nd largest scalloped circle, which I embossed with the Victoria folder and slightly inked and matted on a piece of light blue I cut with the largest pinked circle die. Then cut in half. By punching 2 eyelets and joining together with ribbon from the scalloped edge - you get the effect that it will open. I stamped the "happiness Always" sentiment using the Whimsical Words set from Stampin' Up!

Ikki also says, "If you used vellum or a lightweight paper you could wrap a full circle round the card."

So PAPERCRAFTPLANET CUTTLEBUG-ERS CHALLENGE #60 is to emboss, emboss and cut...

PCP CUTTLEBUG-ERS CHALLENGE #57 - Heart & Butterflies

This week's theme is Butterflies and Hearts. I'd love to see what you can create with the cuttlebug hearts and butterflies combo die cut embossing, but you can play along even if you don't have them. Just use any dies/folders you have on hand.

Please tag your photos with: pcpcuttlebug57

Remember to have fun!!!

For my creation I first embossed the Leafy Branches on Whisper White. Then I cut and embossed my butterflies. Next I cut my little hearts with my smallest Spellbinders nestie in both WW and Really Red. I glued the individual pieces together and then randomly placed them, glueing them down. The sentiment was cut; largest die of dark red and smallest die of WW. Then I stamped Forever and Love with my JustRite Stamps. I added some ribbon from Keep In Touch and Voila!
