Catch a bug?

I knew I wanted to do this little buggy in yellow so I did one in purple too! Thanks to Lynn Pratt. She offers a free tutorial and template for this card. If you're looking for some really clever 3 D projects Lynn has dozens of tutorials for sale. Cars, trucks, tackle boxes, brief cases, pianos and so much more. Take a look you'll be delighted with the possibilities.

I had some fun jazzing up these buggies with silver bumpers and headlights. I added an acetate windshield, a lady bug  and side view mirrors and a license plate. I put tires on the top and bottom of the card, so that it will stand up. For some added dimension I did some dry embossing on the hood and headlights then added dimensional dots. The paper has a  shimmer to it making it sparkle. I think this will cheer up anyone feeling under the weather.

I 'm preparing for a show and tell demonstration at our monthly Woman's club luncheon. Along with months of cards created for challenges and my blog, I've made several Easter cards to offer for sale. I will decorate all the tables with the paper roses I've been making for weeks. I can only make 2 a day because texturizing them is so hard on my hands. Copy paper works best but I had card stock in red, yellow and pink so I used what I had. I just love these flowers, to turn flat paper into this rose amazes me.

The distressed music paper roses show up poorly in this picture but they are really unique in person.

   

 I will also showcase the lanterns I made for Spring and Halloween   This show and tell will help me be prepared to present at craft shows.

I plan on giving a rose to each of our members that attend. The roses can be used to decorate a gift instead of a bow to make it extra special.

Now to complete this post here's another card inspired by one I saw on Pinterest. So fun and feminine. The paper cracked on the fold so I will try again with different paper.
