Christmas In July Card

Hello happy crafters,
Can you believe I made a Christmas card in July? Hahaha. I cut the flower out with a scrap of felt using the My Creative Times flower dies. The card base is 5". I used some glittery red embossing powder for the sentiment.

I will enter this card in the challenge at:
1. My Craft Spot- Christmas in July

Eat Cupcakes First Birthday Card

Time for a cupcake. To bad its made of paper--lol. I prefer the real sugary kind. I guess this one will have to do.

This is one of my favorite Cricut cupcake cuts. I stamped it with a coordinating stamps from CTMH.

I will enter this card into 3 challenge:
1. My Creative Time - Birthday theme.
2. Simon Says Stamp Challenge - Sweet Tooth.
3. Capture the Moment - use scraps for the background & PTI product ( I used PTI white embossing powder-LOVE it)

Down On The Farm Challenge- Have A Moo-velous Day!

Happy Mother's Day!

Here is a fun card I for My Craft Spot' challenge. The theme was "Down on the farm". I cut my farm scene from Nate's ABC at 3.75" and the cow is cut at 2" from Animal Kingdom. I used a black gel pen and inked the edges of cut marks and edge on the cow to give it more detail. This is the first time I used either of these cuts and I think they look fantastic.

I use they eye on one of these Peachy Keen Stamps.

Be sure to check out my entire blog...I've posted a lot today :0)

Forever Young Mother's Day Card

Yeah, I got one more Mother's Day card out the way. Next year I really think I'm going to mass produce something super quick and simple. But I always enjoy making a unique card for each unique person. So hard to break habits like that.

Anyway, I made this card base on two challenges. Sketches By Carly required me to follow a sketch and the other challenge at Scrappy Moms Stamps wanted you to cut an image off Forever Young.

The flowers were cut from Cricut Mother's Day Bouquet, the circle border is from Cricut Art Philosophy, the lady is from Cricut Forever Young. I added some Viva Decor Pearl Pen drops to the center of the flowers. I also made my own print paper (the light pink paper) with a script stamps from MCT.

Here is my card. I will be giving this to one of my aunts. I hope she likes it.

Bee Happy Card

I made this cute little bee card for the challenge at Bitten By the Bug 2. You are to use a bee or ladybug on your project. I had a lot of ideas on this card and decided I wanted a tree on the card that I've been wanting to cut. I tweaked the tree in size a bit with my Gypsy and made the tree more narrow and skinny that what it is normally. I cut the bee from Create-A-Critter at 2". The wings are cut with blue vellum. I stamped the face with a Peachy Keen Face Stamp, made some blush on the checks with chalk, stamped a bit of a blue cloudy background and I also used some gel pens to make some doodles and sparkle. I also Cuttlebuged the base of the tree with a wood grain folder.

Green & Teal Mother's Day Card

Hello Crafty friends, 

I'd like to show you this pretty Mother's Day card I made. I stamped the flower with a CTMH stamp called Just For You. The coordinating flower base was cut from the exclusive Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge (the stamp and the Cartridge can be purchased through my CTMH shopping links). I also added some crinkle ribbon and used an EK border punch to create the bottom paper ruffles. I used CTMH inks to stamp the images. I think this card is pretty and turned out just like I was aiming for. I didn't want to stamp Happy Mother's Day on the front (I felt like it would take away from the card if I put it on one of the ruffles  (punched borders layers at the bottom). I think I like it better without a sentiment on front (which could have been stamped inside as an alternative). I used a My Pink Stamper sentiment.

I will enter into the following challenges:

1. Pumpkin Spice -use green, a stamp & ribbon

2. Little Scrap Pieces -use some type of flower(s)

3. My Pink Stamper -Mother's Day theme

Yippy--Got my MPS prize I won!!!!

Hello,

I am super excited that I got my stamps in the mail this week from Robyn over at My Pink Stamper. I won them during her 12 days of Christmas. I was super shocked that I won...soooo many people participated and the odds of me winning was small. But when I seen my name announced the day the winners were announced I was one happy camper. I love her stamps, the quality is excellent. When I first started scrapping, her stamps were the first quality stamps I had purchased. The ones you buy at Joann and Michael's lack in comparison. Needless to say I hardly ever purchase stamps from places like that anymore.

Here is my prize that I won:

THANK YOU ROBYN!!!!

Happy New Years- Card Challenge

Hello and Happy New Years!

Here is a card I made to enter into a challenge over at
1. Cards by Jovan http://www.cardsbyjovan.com/
2. Whimsical Desgins http://www.whimsical-designs.com/2011/12/happy-new-year-or-favorite-project.html
3. Creative Cutter Room http://www.creativecutterroom.com/
4. Getting Cricky http://www.gettingcricky.com/2012/01/simply-sunday-challenge-its-celebration.html

I wanted to make a cute simple uncluttered card that focused on the glass with some shine and sparkle. This card is great for mass production because it is quick and easy to assemble. I got the glass on the Cricut From My Kitchen cartridge and cut it at 4 inche. I added some Stickles on the top of the glass and popped it up with some SU dimensionals. I also used a white gel pen and a silver stardust pen to add some detail and sparkle. The sentiment is from MPS. The edges are inked with Distress Ink Iced Spruce. I lastly added a ribbon because I feel like a New Year is a gift from God and sometimes ribbons make me think of presents and gifts...and seeing a New Year is definitely a gift to treasure.
