Summer Begings Blog Hop Day 2

Hello!  Welcome to Day Two of the Summer Begins Blog Hop!  You should have arrived from Kathryn's wonderful blog, Creations With Kathryn, which is also the first stop on the hop.  If you want to begin at the beginning, just head back there for her amazing project!
I decided I wanted to demonstrate how you can use the same basic idea--in this case, the toucan cut from the Life Is A Beach cartridge--to make two different projects.  I showed the first yesterday, and have this one for today.
For this card, I cut a piece of orange glitter cardstock to fit an A2 card base.  I then cut the leaf three times, at 4.25 inches (black), 4.0 inches (dark green) and 3.75 inches (lime green) and layered them.  I adhered this to the glitter cardstock.  I cut the toucan, with all his layers, at 2 inches.  I added a tag from my stash, which I paper pierced, and a googly eye on the toucan.  The ribbon, which shows up yellow, but is really lime green, is from my stash, as well.
I hope you've enjoyed my summery cards and have seen how just changing sizes or papers can change a project.  From here, you should head to Yolanda's blog for the rest of the hop.
Have a wonderful Sunday--and be Blessed!

  3. Great way to use same cut twice. I try to do that also. Sometimes I just save the cut for later. But might as well use the paper on the mat. Love the sparkle

Your comments are cherished--as are you. There wouldn't be a Blog without you to read it--and the flamingos would have stolen much more of my sanity without the Blog to give me a tenuous hold on the outside world. So, thank you. I love you all--Be Blessed.
