And here are the cards I made for my Studio Calico July Guest Designer projects:
A LITTLE BIRDIE TOLD ME CARD

How to: Punch 1" squares from patterned papers and trim them in half to make triangles. Adhere the triangles across a white card in a quilt-inspired pattern then sew diagonally across each row. Stamp a sentiment across the bottom. Accent the triangles with a few sequins and wooden veneer asterisks. 

Supplies: Kit (Valley High), wooden veneer asterisks, sequins, sentiment stamp: Studio Calico; Cardstock, adhesive: American Crafts; Patterned paper: American Crafts, BasicGrey, October Afternoon, One Little Bird, Paislee Press, Studio Calico; Jewels: Queen & Co.; Ink: StazOn; Sewing machine: Bernina; Thread: Coats & Clark

HELLO FRIEND CARD

How to: Drop a rainbow of watercolors across the top of a white watercolor paper card base and let the paint run and drip down. Let the paint dry. Stamp a "hello" speech bubbles image in black ink across the center. Stamp "friend" inside the empty speech bubble. Embellish the card with matching colored sequins.

Supplies: Kit (Valley High), sequins, sentiment stamps: Studio Calico; Watercolor cardstock: Craft supply; Watercolors: Prang; Ink: StazOn

LOVE YOU CARD

How to: Hand cut hearts from patterned papers then layer them over the bottom right corner of a kraft card. Tie a bow from pink chevron ribbon and adhere it to the bottom right corner. Place a wooden veneer "LOVE YOU" piece on the top left corner. Drop white spray mist across the card. Adhere buttons and jewels over the hearts.

LOVE CARD

How to: Trim a bracket shape from the bottom of a pink card. Trim the bottom edge of a pink patterned paper into the bracket shape and adhere it to the bottom of the card. Punch doily and scalloped borders from pink/red/white patterned papers and layer them down the front of the card. Wrap orange chevron ribbon around the right side. Stamp "love" in black on a tag with a notched bottom end, place a pink button over the "o" and adhere the tag over the ribbon. Tie more of the ribbon into a bow and place it above the sentiment. Add a row of jewels across the top and two more pink buttons as shown.

Glue sequins across the heart to embellish and finish.
