Summer Watermelon Card

I made this cute little watermelon card and I ended up liking it better than I thought I would. I turned out pretty cute. The shape is cut from Doodlecharms. I added some black Glossy Accents to the seeds. The sentiment is from Close to My Heart.

 You can sort of see the black glossiness from the black Glossy Accents.

2. Cardz TV - Summer Fun
3. Fantabulous Cricut - #117 BBQ Time

Chick In An Egg Easter Gift Tags

Hope everyone had a blessed Easter.

Today I'm sharing some tags I made to go on the kids goody bags I made I this Easter. I made 6 of these total. I just love the way it turned out. This has to be one of the cutest images on the Doodlecharms Cartridge. Instead of using the entire face the image came with I stamped the chicks eyes with a PKS animal eyes stamp. I made some girl tags colored tags and some boy tags colored ones. I also used some eyelets in the hole for the tags. I love the way the eyelets bring additional color and detail to something as simple as a tag. 

I will entering this tag into an Easter/Spring challenge at:

Challenge- School Card

Hello, I found a cool blog today, Cards by Jovan and there was a challenge to make a school card. I thought, YIPPE! I can't seem to get enough of the school theme right now. LOL. I made a school house cut from My Community cart and a bus cut from Doodlecharms (a must have cart with tons of useful stuff that is super easy to layer). I made the sentiment on the front on my computer and cut the edge with a border punch by EK called Binding Edge---LOVE it. I added a "road" made of black dashed ribbon (l heart that kind of ribbon). After deciding my sentiment, I thought a real bell in the school house bell tower would be so cool and cute. I must say it came out SUPER cute and realistic. In order for the bell to lay right you need to pop up the front layer of the house on some pop dots. So if you shake the card it rings (rocks!). I also used some iRocks on the bus and I didn't have any red ones, so I colored it with a red Copic marker and it worked like a charm. I went back and added some glossy accents to the window you can see from the before and after picture how the Glossy Accents turned the windows I had colored with a white gel pen pink. I think it looks cute though like some curtains hanging in the window. TTYL

Back to School Card

I made this cute card for a teacher. I LOVE the way it turned out.
I used:
craft cardstock
Doodlecharms for the bus cut at 2.5"
I made the white paper with the turquoise lines and the sentiment on it on my computer
I used the EK punch called Binding
Black ribbon with white dashes for the road
A red brad for the tail lights and a iRock bling for the headlights
Cuttlebug embossing folder Swirls
A red marker to write the A+
Yellow and black paper for the bus

The inside sentiment was typed on my computer.
