ABC Friday, Plus A 3 in 1 Birthday Card…
Jul 25th, 2008 by Jen
YAY! It’s Friday, which means I get to show off an “Anything But A Card” project to you. This week, I’m also throwing in a card to this post. You’ll see why later 
My bud, Susan, and I went to the Great American Scrapbook Convention last month. While we were at the Glue booth, we decided to duel. Okay, not really. We picked out a couple products to challenge each other with. {Note, these are not yet up on the Glue site}. I came up with a little project for Ellie’s room with pictures of Tony’s side of the family. Susan is still working on hers at this very moment, but she promises a very cute project to be completed later today. Be sure to check it out HERE.
First, here is the inspiration for this piece. It’s the bedding that I hope to get for Ellie’s room. Cute, huh?
It started out as a plain piece of wood. I added the paint, paper, ribbon and all the other embellishments that you see. The photos are on this do-dads, which I painted, covered in paper and then threaded ribbon through…
Here are some detail shots…
This part was created with a circle coaster covered in the orange polka dot paper. I then used the “negative” portion of a Bazzill chipboard flower that I have had forever and covered in with the green paper and dew drops. It is mounted on dimensional glue dots on top of the circle coaster.
So, it’s Anything BUT a Card Friday usually. Today it’s Anything AND a Card Friday. I am a little behind on challenges and such. Today is Julee’s {creative genius that IS Verve Stamps} birthday and I wanted to incorporate some of challenges that I have been “missing.” This card incorporates three challenges…
1. It’s Julee’s sketch for Mojo Monday #47
2. Laurie’s “Got Vellum?” Dare To Get Dirty challenge. I used the new Papertrey vellum cardstock here. YUM-O…I likeee!
3. Susan’s “Button, Button, Who’s Got The Button?” verve challenge
Shannan has a thread going in the Verve forum on SCS telling Julee HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Be sure to stop by {HERE}.
See you manana!
WOW! What an amazing project!! So many fabulous details, like that amazing edge around the bottom! YOu can definitely see all the love that went into making that. Ella *definitely* needs that bedding!
I LOVE your photo piece!! That is fantastic!! Your card for Julee is absolutely adorable!!
Wow! That project is dewdrop-alicious! Love it! And your card is absolutely gorgeous! Love the colors, the dimension, the scallops…everything! Thanks so much, Jen!
What a great idea but where did you come up with the pieces for the do-dads as you call them……inquiring minds must know! I love this and think this is something I will do for OUR bedroom. As usual you have amazed and enchanted.
Holy Carp…would you look at all those dew drops-WOWZA!!! Awesome stuff Jen!!
Your ABC piece is unbelievable. I would have given up after about a bazillion of those dew drops..LOL! They were so worth it though they caught my eye right away.
I also noticed to color underneath the butterfly wings is swapped on the card. I love that idea. It’s such a little touch but so cute. I use these butterflies all the time.
Thanks for the inspiration, as ALWAYS!!!!!
such a sweet and creative project, LOVE it!
I love your project! The colors are fabulous and the little dew drops are amazing.
Also,I know you posted this a while ago, but I would love to know where the bedding is from? It would be perfect for my little girl’s room:o)
Thanks and have a great day!
