Valentine Duck

Hello crafty friends, Cathy here today posting for KaDoodle Bug Designs.
Today I have a pop up card I made using the new file~ Cutie KaToodles Valentine Duck

I just love this little Cutie!!
I started out by cutting out the lil duck and put her together and inked her up/ I used Close to My Heart cardstock and ranger inks.
Then I cut out the base for the card at 6 by 9 and scored it in half lengthwise.
I then cut out the inside layer for the pop up part at 5 and 3/4 by 8 and 3/4, scored it in half and then cut 2 one in slits to use as the pop up part. I pushed that part out in the opposite direction and glued the two sides to the inside of the yellow card base, using Helmar Craft Glue...

Once the inside is done, I matted up the inside of the card using some die cuts from my Cricut..hearts and such,  Decorated with some SU twine and a Valentine sentiment from CTMH as well as their bling......





Then I added the KaToodles cutie on the inside...



Well there you have it, another adorable file from KaDoodle Bug Designs.Have a wonderful week,
Happy Crafting
Cathy

Out Of This world

Out Of this world with Helmar

Hello crafty friends..Cathy here to share a post with you today using 3 wonderful Helmar products and an adorable SVG file from KaDoodle Bug Designs
I  decided to do a scrap lyout and started out by cutting out all the pieces of colored cardstock on my Cricut cuttingMachine of the Out Of this World file..

I used Helmar craft glue to put the pieces together, for the real small pieces I used a zig pen.



then I  cut out the big pieces for the base of the layout, and the larger elements.



  For the big  pieces I used Craft and Hobby PVA Glue 
The next pieces to add were the planets, and where I have the mats for the photo to be applied, I wanted to pop up the planets so they were not in the way of the photo, so I used the Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots....



this is what it looks like before you add the image on top....





Here is what it looks like with the planet on the Liquid Scrap Dot...


The last element I added to the scrap page layout is some Ric rac and for that I used the Helmar Fabric Glue


and now for the finished project....


Supplies used:
Close To My Heart Cardstock
Helmar Craft Glue
Helmar Liquid Scrap dots
Helmar Fabric Glue
Studio Papers designer papers
Helmar  Craft and Hobby PVA Glue
Zig Pen
Cricut Machine
KaDoodle Bug Designd file
  hope you like it and will head on over to the Helmar shop and check out all their amazing adhesive options!! have a great crafty day

KBD Sailor Seahorses

Hello crafty Friends, and happy Spring to you all.  It is a lovely day out my window and I am thinking about sunshiny days I used to have at the beach and vacations in the past at the ocean.. I miss them.  Unfortunately those days are over for me and so I must reminisce.  In doing so I thought I would use KaDoodle Bug Designs newer file... Sailor Seahorses


I think this is just an adorable file..don't you??

I decided to go through my box of scraps (It is getting big) and put together a "Congratulations" card in Easel style..it is a 6x6 card....

One of my favorite colors from Close to My Heart  is Lagoon.  Purple and lagoon look good together don't you think?   If you think this file is as cute as I do..head to Melissa's shop and take a look around, she adds great files often!!
Thanks for looking..
