CTMH Dragonfly Frame Card

I have here a cute dragonfly card I made with my Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge. I cut the card base and the frame at 4.75" and the dragonfly that goes on top at 3.75". I embossed the front of the card and the wings of the dragonfly with my Cuttlebug. I inked the edges of the frame and dragonfly. I used Viva Decor gold pearl pen to make some eyes and some lime green Stickles to give the dragonfly some sparkle. I have not decided on a sentiment yet, so I will leave that part to later when I have a recipient or occasion for this card. This card is pretty simple and quick to make. It can easily be mass produced.

I will enter this card into the challenges at:
My Creative Time- use a frame challenge
Simon Says Stamps Challenge -anything goes
Paper Play Time - anything goes.

Have a Crafty week!

Sock Monkey Cards

I decided to make this monkey for a couple of animal challenges and an anything goes challenge. He is the cute little sock monkey on the B is for Boy cartridge. He is cut at 4". I made three of these cards and stamped different sentiments of each one. I like how they all turned out. These will be great for friendship, birthdays, baby boy and much more. I inked the edges of the blue gingham card and the cream strip of paper.

Butterfly Card from Sketch #54

I made this beautiful card for a sketch challenge at Sketches by Carly. Here is a picture of the sketch:

Here is the picture of the card I created based on the sketch:

I colored the butterfly with chalk and added some pink Stickles.

My card is 5.5x5.5" and the butterflies were stamped using a Martha Stewart butterfly set. The sentiment is from Close To My Heart (comes with 36 sentiments & images).
Sorry the light is awful in the pictures (its a dark rainy day here, no sunlight really).
Thanks for dropping by!

Lovely Layout

Hello Crafty friends, 


Today is a special post as I am submitting this Mother's Day layout I made to a Design Team Call at Bitten By the Bug 2. 

I just love how this turned out and the colors look fantastic together. I will be putting this into a white shadow box frame and giving it to my mom for Mother's Day. 


Here are some details:
-Dress form cut from Cricut Nifty Fifties at 9". The dress is actually made of fabric (there is a cute fabric paper stack from DCWV)!!! I jazzed it up with some ribbons, ruffle lace and pearls. 
-The 3D butterfly is from Recollections.
-The layered flowers are from the Cricut Mother's Day Bouquet cartridge at various sizes. 
-The square shape doilies are cut at 3.5" from Cricut Art Philosophy (CTMH) and the two different scrolls are cut at 2.25 and 1.63.
-The stickers that say LOVELY are from the dollar bins at Target.
-The circle under the 5x7 photo mat was cut from Plantin at 7".
-The papers are from my stash. Many of them are glittery, iridescent or metallic which the camera doesn't do justice on their beauty. 

Have a Crafty day!

April Showers

Welcome back everyone!

I made this super cute card for a challenge over at Cardz TV. The them is April Showers (umbrella, rain boots, rain puddles, showers, etc). I've be wanting to use the umbrella cut on my Paisley cartridge for a while now and LOVED it. I will be using that cute more often now. I printed my own custom sentiment on a piece of velum and attached it to the card. I love the way velum looks on a project and since I didn't have a stamp with quite the right sentiment I was going for I decided to make my own. I cut the umbrella at 3.5 inches. I also added some iRocks jewels on the points of the umbrella where the end of the metal would be.
