Today's Daily SPS Inspiration - Heather - Card

Good morning! Heather here from Houses Built of Cards just dropping by to share a quick card with you! I recently had a brand new baby niece born - so I had to make a sweet little welcome card for her!

I started off by creating a shape card using my Silhouette Designer Edition Software, then cutting it out with my Silhouette Cameo and some October Afternoon pattern paper.

I curved up the ear a bit when I attached my pink polka dot paper to my cardbase, then tucked a couple of flowers from an Echo Park sticker sheet next to it. The tag sticker, and alphas came from a different Echo Park sticker sheet, and I finished off with a few MME Enamel Dots.

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a wonderful day!

Today's Daily SPS Inspiration with Heather - Card

Good morning! Heather here from Houses Built of Cards just dropping by to share a quick card with you! I am loving the feather trend right now, so I had to make a card using some feathers cut with my Silhouette Cameo and Studio Designer Edition Software:

I cut the feathers using some October Afternoon Woodland Park 8x8 pattern paper, and covered them with Glossy Accents. Then I waited patiently (well...sort of!) for them to dry before adhering them with foam adhesive to my pattern paper cardbase - some fun pattern paper from Glitz Designs Hello Friend 6x6 paper pad.

I stamped a sentiment from Unity Stamps, tied a Baker's Twine bow and added a Crate Paper Little Bo Peep brad in the center of the bow. Mounted it all on a Bazzil Classic White cardstock base, then finished off with a few MME Enamel dots...

Good morning! Heather here from Houses Built of Cards sharing a card with you - and I had some fun with my pattern papers on this one:

I used my Silhouette Cameo and Studio Design Edition Software to cut the Pie Chart pieces using several pattern papers from Crate Paper's Little Bo Peep 6x6 paper pad. I misted a kraft cardbase with white Mister Huey's ink, then added some distress ink to the edges. The pie chart was attached with foam adhesive for a bit of dimension.

I used a Paper Smooches stamp set for all the little sentiments, and stamped them on Classic White Bazzil Cardstock trimmed into thin strips. Added some My Mind's Eye enamel dots, and just a bit of jute twine tied in a bow. 

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a wonderful day!

I decided to use one design to make both a girl and boy baby card - that way if you know someone who doesn't find out in advance whether they are having a boy or girl (like me!) - you have one of each card ready to go right away after they are born!

Today's Daily SPS Inspiration with Heather - Card

Good morning! Heather here from Houses Built of Cards! It is my turn to share some inspiration with you today! Here is my card for the day:

I love the print and cut feature on my Silhouette Cameo machine - so much fun! This is an image from their online store, and I used my Silhouette Studio Designer Edition software to size, print, and cut this image. My background papers are from Glitz Design's Cashmere Dame 6x6 paper pad, and I mounted my printed and cut image with foam adhesive for some dimension. 

The image is so intricate, and prints out so beautifully! The sentiment words are also cut with my Silhouette Cameo machine out of white Bazzil Basic Cardstock, and I covered them with Glossy Accents - adds such a nice finished look to them! Hard to see in the pictures, but you might see it a little better in this one:

Added some sequins - one of my newest crafty addictions! So quick and super fun for a thank you card! 

Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you are having a wonderful week!!! 

Today's Daily SPS Inspiration with Heather - Card

Good morning! Heather here from Houses Built of Cards to share some inspiration this morning! I had so much fun making my card to share with you today!

I have been enjoying seen the Speech Bubble trend, and decided to pull out my Silhouette Cameo and Designer Edition Software and create a card using a Speech Bubble. I used files from the online store for the speech bubble, and also the words inside. 

My pattern papers are from Glitz Designs and Echo Park Paper company. The stone colored background paper is from Glitz Designs 6x6 Yours Truly paper pad, and the black and white chevron on the bottom is from Glitz Designs 6x6 Cashmere Dame paper pad. The off white I used for the speech bubble is a 12x12 Echo Park page from "Play Ground" (Cloud/Grass Stain), the red for the heart is a 12x12 Echo Park page from "Season's Greetings" (Red/Cream), and the blue in the background and for the word love is also a 12x12 Echo Park page from "Holly Jolly Christmas" (Winter Green/Icicle Blue). 

I attached the top half of the sentiment with foam adhesive for a bit of dimension, then attached the bottom half directly to my speech bubble.  

I then attached that to my layered card base, also with foam adhesive. Finished off with a tiny wood veneer figure in the bottom right that I colored with a Copic marker to coordinate with my card, and added just a tiny bit of red bling.  

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a wonderful weekend!

Today's Daily SPS Inspiration with Heather - Card

Good morning! Heather here from Houses Built of Cards to share a card made with lots of great Shop Pumpkin Spice goodies! With Valentine's Day coming up, you can never have too many cards! This would also be perfect for an Anniversary, or Just Because card - here it is:

I used some of the Crate Paper 6x6 Fourteen papers on this card, as well as some Bazzil Basic White Cardstock. I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the heart doily, as well as the smaller hearts, using my Silhouette Designer Edition Software and some cut files from the Silhouette online store.

I embossed the white panel using my Cuttlebug - and inked the edges of it and everything else to finish off the edges. The sentiment is from a the We Connect by Paper Smooches - such a perfect set for Valentine's Day!

Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you have a wonderful day and week!
