The Cutting Cafe Overalls Shaped Card

Hi Folks.  Today, I have the most adorable project to share with you from The Cutting Cafe.
We were to choose from:  

Overalls Shaped Card-Cutting File
or
All About Boys- Printable Stamp Set
or
Funny Car Treat Box and Shaped Card Set-Cutting File

I chose the overalls shaped card because I thought it was so darn cute.  At first, I didn't catch the entire information from our directions of what we were to do.  I didn't realize that we were just doing boy themes.  Duh, I should have read the whole thing!  Anyway, when I went to write and post this blog, that is when I figured out that I had messed up, because I made the girly version of the overalls.  Soooo, I made another pair for a boy.  The file is so easy to work with that I didn't mind doing another one.  So, I am going to show you both.  For the boy card, I used a thick, double sided card stock that was a plaid.  I wanted something in blue.  I cut out the overalls and the other pieces on my Silhouette machine.  I used 3 different card stock designs, cutting each color separately.  I glued on the pieces and used a white gel pen to make stitches.  I printed a digital frog image, that I made very small, to put on the pocket.  I colored it with Spectrum Noir markers and fussy cut it out and glued onto the pocket.


For the girly overalls, I did the same thing, but used a flower from the set, for the pocket.  I added some ribbon to tie in with the colors of the card stock.
