Easter Card

Hello everyone!! Today I would like to share with you a quick easter card I made. I used my simply charmed cartridge and my gypsy to make this shape card. I welded the base cut together to make the card and then cut out all the layers.

All the paper used is from papertrey ink. I just love all of their products. I also used a peachy keen stamp, it is from the critter faces large set. The twine I used is from the twinery. I also used some old paper and vintage photo distress ink. I used the old paper distress ink around the chick and the vintage photo around the egg.

I hope everyone enjoys my card for today.

Get Well

Hi bloggers!! I would like to say hello to my new followers thanks to Momo from Made by Momo, and I would also like to say thank you to Momo for allowing us to link our blogs to hers in order to get new followers.

Today I would like to share with everyone a simple get well card I made.
I used the fillable jar stamps and the spring fillable set from papertrey ink. I got these stamps a few weeks ago and have just now had time to play with them.
All of my paper is also from papertrey ink. I used my prismacolor pencils to do all the coloring.
I didnt have a stamp small enough to stamp get well soon in the little tag so I just wrote it in.

I used black memento ink for all the stamping, and also used some wild honey, tea dye, and vintage photo distress ink. I used the wild honey on the border around the top of the jar, I used the tea dye on the tag, and vintage photo around the edges.


I hope everyone had enjoyed this card. I will be posting another cute easter shape card I made sometime this weekend.

Doggie Card

Hello bloggers!! I haven't posted in a while, I've been busy working a lot. I was going through some pictures on my computer tonight and came across this card, I forgot I made.

I made this card for a friend of mine to give to her nephew for his bday. It was a very simply and quick card. Everything was cut from Create a Critter cricut cartridge. I am not sure of the dimensions but I think I cut the dog out at 3 inches and the house at 2 inches.

I hope you all enjoy this simple card tonight.

Pee-eew

Hello everyone!! It has been a while since I have posted any projects. I have been making them just haven't had time to post. So today before I get ready to go to work I decided to share one of my favorite cards I have made recently.


I got this skunk from create a critter cricut cartridge. My mom wanted me to make a mean but cute card for my uncle. He has a very good sense of humor so we knew this wouldn't hurt his feelings.

I can't remember any of the measurements for this card.
I hope you enjoy it.

My Pink Stamper Design Team Challenge

Hey everyone!! Today I wanted to share with you my project for the My Pink Stamper design team challenge. She has 2 openings for her next design team and is accepting projects from her followers that would like to be part of her team. How exciting!! The rules of the challenge were simple just make a card, scrapbook page, or any other project with the cricut, the twist is you had to use her favorite colors, which are pink, green, and brown, then you got to chose one more color of your choice which was purple for me.
Okay on to my project. I was playing around in my craft room yesterday and I decided to try to make something different for this challenge. So I made a shape box at least that is what I'm calling it. It was very simple to make, after a little trial and error that is lol.

So what I did was picked my image which is this cute strawberry from the simply charmed cartridge. I cut it out at 10 1/2 inches. I cut the base image of the strawberry twice so that it would have a bottom. Then after a lot of trying to figure out how to make the box part of it, I decided to use the square box from tags, bags, boxes and more cut at 8 3/4 inches.

I used the cuttlebug and swiss dots folder to give the strawberry a little texture. I also used vintage photo distress ink and inked the edges of the green and tattered rose distress ink for the rosy cheeks. Then I put together all the layers of my strawberry. I scored and folded all the parts of the box, and put it together with scoretape. I then used scoretape again and attached the bottom at top of the box to the strawberry.

I hope you all enjoy this project and stop on over to The Pink Stampers website to see all the amazing projects everyone else has entered.

Christmas Cards

Merry Christmas everyone! Today I wanted to share with you the Christmas cards I made for everyone I work with. All images were cut from the Winter Frolic cricut cartridge at 3.5 inches I think.


All cards are the standard A2 size which is 4.25 by 5.5 inches.



All the paper is from the paper studio, I'm not sure the name of the packs but one is more country and the other is more bright colors.




Most of the sentiments I did on the computer, printed them out and cut them to fit. For the HO! HO! HO! I actually used a stamp that I had and cut the HO! HO! HO! in to different parts it just looked better than one all the way across.



This one I used a stamp from My Pink Stamper's stamps, I think its from the tweety hoo puns but I'm not positive.




I hope everyone enjoys my cards, and I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

Birthday Card

Hello Everyone! Tonight's post is a card I made for my niece Maddie for her 7th bday. I used create a critter cricut cartridge, because it is one of my favorites to use. I cut the cow out at 3 inches and the bow is from the accessory function on the hedgehog page, it was cut out at 2 inches.

I added a jewel with my i-rock to the center of the bow, and added stickles to the horns, hoofs, and end of the tail just to make it a little more girly.

I used an ek success punch, I don't know the name of it but it is birthday candles and I thought it would be cute to use that as the grass just gives it a little something different.


I used the I love moo! stamp from My Pink Stamper's stamp set more punny licious.

Now to explain a little why I used this stamp and the cow for a bday card. I sometimes call my niece Maddie moo or moo moo. I dont know why just something me and my sister have called her since she was a baby. Anyway I was having trouble coming up with what I wanted to put on her card and I was going through my stamps and seen that one and knew right away what I wanted to do.
I hope you enjoy this card.
