Basic Grey - Picadilly - cup of the month project by Cheri Piles

Cup of the month project by Cheri Piles

Featuring: Basic Grey Picadilly collection

I have to say, I am loving my cup so far this month! Have you seen the Picadilly line in the store by Basic Grey??? I love the names of the papers, they are so cute!!

I used only three papers for this cup a cream card stock, Farm Life and Three layer cake... See I told you their names are cute!!

I love the "CHICK" on the cup!

Step one: Using your template trace and cut the back side of Farm life paper.

Step two: Cut a strip from Three Layer Cake and mount it on a strip of cream card stock.

This part is totally optional but I inked my edges with good old stand by Walnut Stain.

Step 3: punch 1 1/2 inch circles from the back side of Three layer cake and then cut in half.

Again, This part is totally optional but I inked my edges with good old stand by Walnut Stain.

Step 4: Now from the remaining piece of Farm Life paper punch with whatever size circle punch you like, the shapes or images you like. I punched some flowers, butterflies and a little Chick.

Again, This part is totally optional but I inked my edges with good old stand by Walnut Stain.

Step 5: ok so now that you have all of your layers you can start gluing them down.

Now... Notice, I had my "smart hat" on and after I glued my center strip down, I started my half circles from the center and left room for overlap when it sits in the cup!! Umm hmm, it looks good.
