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.

So there you go. Super Super cuteness!!

Wouldn't you agree?
