Melly Art Creates All the Things

         This was challenge this month!   These sunflowers are one of my favorites to use, but they take so long!  I can only cut 4 petals at a time, and there are 24 petals on each flower, 3 flowers .. its a lot of manual die cutting lol  Totally worth it though, they're gorgeous!  I used Gold and Bronze Metallic cardstock for them, makes all the difference! I used some simple orange and gold paper flowers to fill in around them and the title. I used little clear and black drops for the centers, popped a few up on some foam dots, adding sequins and nuvo to finish up.                                                                Thank you for stopping by!     Happy crafting.

 Good Morning!  Today I am sharing my weekly CutCardstock project! I am sharing a calendar I am working on for a friend, using her daughters baby photos in a scrapbook layout for the Month, and an awesome month cutfile from JennyWren Cutfiles.  I used the all cut out pieces this month and popped them up with some foam dots along with the monthly birthday photos and a bunny for Easter.   I went with the "April Showers" theme so May will be all the flowers!         In creating this I used all sorts of cardstock from CutCardStock- Yellow Jacket, Onyx, Cougar White, Rose Quartz, Eris, Black, Fairway, Amethyst, Gold, silver, and Sno Cone.  Used some chalk, lots of inks on the die cuts, nuvo drops on some wording, some pretty paper flowers, and some sequins for sparkle.     The scrapbook layout is a sketch from Scrap-A-Sketch and is posted below.                     ...

         Spring has officially started for me and my projects!  I don't care if there's still snow lol  I LOVE winter, but I am ready for all the flowers and gardening, and watching everything grow and bloom.  One of the first flowers to pop up are tulips!  So i created this tulip box card using Scottish Highlands, Light Yellow, Citrus Twist, and Cougar White, keeping it simple, i inked the edges and folded some leaves to give some dimension.  I embossed the back with a sweet sentiment.  Perfect for a Just Because, just saying hi, or even a thank you.. just about anything.   You can find the files to recreate this card at SVGCuts.com.  Tulips come in so many colors, you can easily create these in so many color combinations!                                                ...

                                 For this project I chose to use the Moments Captured cutfile, from Jenny Wren .  I must say .. I prefer the stitching to turning this into a shaker element. lol It was very frustrating and took so long cause i kept messing it up!  Which is so unlike me cause i turn everything into a shaker.   So I back this cutfile, after cutting it on Cougar White from Cutcardstock , with Acetate.  This is when i realize I'm out of my 1/8 inch foam tape.  So I grab my 1/4 in and start slicing it half, and it sticks to everything, its SUPER sticky and it kept tearing.  I manage to get to the whole outline finished, and i dumb in the sequins, and realize i forgot to do all the little inside borders  so they go everywhere..  so back to slicing foam tape and getting all inside borders.  finally got them all, put the sequins in, ma...

       Good morning everyone!  I have sharing this stinking cute bunny box from SVGCuts.com, using Cougar whitw - 110lb, pink Merrisparkle glitter from CutCardstock.  I pulled out some scraps for the belly and bow tie.  The feet are popped up wiht foam dots, and as soon as i can find carrot cake M&Ms i am filling it up lol  His head pops off, allowing for the bottom to be filled with just about anything, would make an adorable gift as well!   Spring is coming!  Lots of things can be added to this, flowers, sequins, nuvo, little paper peeps or chicks, bring out all the Spring time stuff !                                                          ...

   How adorable are these!  I bought this set 15+ years ago, thought it was a good time to bring them back. The set is from SVGCuts.com the cardstock from CutCardstock - Crystal, Rose Quartz, Peach, Gold, lime, fairway, and cougar white.  The patterned paper is Love Always from Cocoa Vanilla Studio.           I didnt embellish them too much, i addede some inked edging, some glittler drops on the flowers and music notes, and some jewel drops on their beaks. The only things i might even still go back and add are some sequins, no project is complete without some sparkle.  Thank you for stopping by!                                                                                       H...
