Claire Selby Ruby Slippers 4"x6" card

Ruby Slippers Card supplies

It’s all about the Ruby Slippers! And the Glitter! I love that the double sided scrapbooking paper even had the words Magic Slippers on the right side. I was planning on putting Dorothy on the right hand side until I happened to see the words and then I knew it would work great on the left. Being a mom of 4 makes it hard to steal a few minutes in the day to make a blog post. I hope that you are able to see a lot of different types of artwork, cards and craft projects. I sure have a lot of those to finish making and posting too!  Here are some of the supplies I used to create my card with-

1) DoodleBug Ladybug Glitter, this is super iridescent and rather sheer

2) 4″x6″ card

3) Aleene’s® Original Tacky Glue™

4) 2 Creative Memories Enchanted sticker brads

5) 1 ribbon rose and 1 red heart doily

6) Graphic 45 Wizard of oz paper

Claire Selby Silver and Purple Butterfly card

I made this card for My husband’s Cousin that was recently married. The colors for their wedding were silver and purple. I kept the card rather light and neutral with just the one purple butterfly as a pop of color. I used a 5.5″ square Paper Source card, an e.k. Decorative paper punch for the four medallions and hand cut the four butterflies. I sprayed the card with a light mist of black dye from my Tulip® Tie-Dye Fashion Kit™. The textured cover weight of the card is great for dye, as well as inking with pigment inks.

Claire Selby Kiss-kiss Card

For Spring I love breaking out the pink! Ok, ok. That’s all year I’m breaking out the pink! But, for this card I used green and pink along with gold for a card that is bright and fresh just like the season. Here are some of my supplies I used for my Kiss-kiss card.

1) ArtChix Studio Faux Postage Sticker

2) Acid Free Scrapbooking paper turned into a 5″ by 6″ card

3) Gold paper doily, Found in the baking aisle of most stores, you can also use vintage or paint a plain white one!

4) Aleene’s® Original Tacky Glue™

I love using Tacky glue because it only takes a small amount and it is great for painting on with a paint brush, dabbing on or scraping across paper with a flat edge of a plastic scraper, (like an old debit card) it starts to dry quickly.

5) Pink and white ribbon found at Michael’s craft store.

6) Green staples and a green butterfly wing.

Claire Selby *BaBy FaiRy PoSt* Card

I was inspired to make a baby card after I bought the Close to My Heart green safety pins. So I put together Green, Yellow, Chocolate Brown, and Aqua Blue as the colorway for my card. CosmoCrickets Bright Eyes 12″ paper was perfect for the card as it is double sided, stripes on one side and feathers on the other. The sweet baby fairy is an Art Chix Fairy Post image and he sits cutely perched with tiny paper flowers around him. I glued each little piece with Aleene’s® Original Tacky Glue™. He’s finished off like a present with Aqua Blue tulle tied around the card!

This Fairy Thank you Cards is one of the few cards I have been able to finish recently. From the glittery Amy Butler paper to the Art Chix Winged Beauty in the corner, all the way to the Martha Stewart ribbon, everything is Pink and Pretty! I lightly glued everything with Aleene’s® Original Tacky Glue™ and finished the top of the card with the chipboard T. A big Fairy Thank you.
