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.

Bieber Fever

Hey everyone! I don't know about you but every child or teenager in my life is obsessed with Justin Bieber, especially my cousin Shelby. So for her birtday I decided to make her a card that incorporated Justin Bieber.

I have heard her say many times that his favorite color is purple, so I used two shades of purple for this card. I got the card from the wild card cricut cartridge, the letters are from the george and basic shape cricut cartridge.

I couldn't find a stamp that I thought really went with this Justin Bieber inspired card so I just printed off the you're a star from my computer. Then I inked up the edges of it with purple chalk.

I hope everyone enjoys today's card.

Baby Card

Hey everyone! Today I wanted to share with you a giftcard holder/card my mother asked me to make for a neighbor's daughter who recently had a baby boy.

For this card I used K & Comapny Itsy Bitsy Baby Boy paper pad, for the mat on both the outside and inside. The blue card base and blue for the giftcard holder on the front of the card is just some I had in my paper stash. The giraffe was cut from the Create A Critter cricut cartridge at 2 3/4 inches.

I created the giftcard holder using Inkscape and then cut it out using Sure Cuts A Lot. The giraffe's head is keeping the holder closed. The ribbon and buttons are some that I have in my stash.

I had cut this giraffe I put on the inside to go on the front but after I got it cut I realized it was to small. After I added the two mats on the inside I decided it still needed something and this giraffe fit perfect.

I hope you enjoyed my card for today.

Throwback Thursday Challenge

Hello everyone! Today's post is for the Throwback Thrusday Challenge over at My Creative Time. This weeks challenge is to simply use any older cartridge and make any type of project you want to make.

I decided to use paper doll dress up. I have been wanting to make a halloween card and I figured now was the time. I cut this witch out at 3 1/2 inches, and used peachy keen simple sallies stamps.
The card base is cut at 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 inces and scored at 4 1/4 inches. The spider paper is cut at 5 1/4 x 4 inches, that paper is from cloud 9 design seasonal pack. I got this pack at Joann Fabric, it has fall, halloween, and Christmas paper in it. The paper is very thin and I wouldn't suggest trying to cut it in the cricut, but it is great for mats on cards. The tag is made using an ek success punch and purple cardstock.

The last few touches I added were some black ribbon, the stickles on her hat, and of course I had to use my iRock and add a little jewel on the green piece around her neck.

I hope you like todays project.

Tuesday Challenge "Just Because"

So I made this card. The base is paper from a s.e.i stack called chick-a-dee that I got at Hobby Lobby. The base is cut at 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 inches. The mat behind the stamped image is 3 1/2 x 3 inches.
The stamp that says special thought for you is from a set of clear stamps that I got at Hobby Lobby. I colored her using prisma colored pencils and did the shading with mineral spirits. The stamp is from C. C. Design's it is called Swiss Pixies Heidi Among The Flowers. I used my irock to add some jewesl to her hair.

I hope you all enjoyed my card for today.

Princess Throwback Thursday Challenge

Hey everyone! Today's post is for the throwback Thursday challenge over at My Creative Time. This weeks challenge was a princess theme, you were to use the Tinkerbell cartridge, or any older cartridge you own if you do not have the Tinkerbell Cartridge. I do not own the Tinkerbell cartridge so I used paper doll dress up.

I have been trying to cover composition notebooks the past few weeks, and decided I wanted to make one for this challenge.

For this I used a compositon notebook I bought at Target I think it was $0.50 but I am not sure. All the paper I used was from a stack I got at wal-mart by colorbok. I love this paper it cuts so well in the cricut and it is only $5 for a stack of 50 sheets .

For the background I used two stamps I have in a princess stamp set that I got from Joann Fabric, I'm not sure what the name of it is. I also used a small $1 stamp pad I got at Joann Fabric to make the background.

I got the font from www.scrappingtable.com it is called Brady Bunch. In order to use the files from this website you have to have sure cuts a lot. I love using this font, I have used it a lot lately.

For the binding I cut a strip of pink paper at 9 1/2 x 3 inches and tried to center it the best I could around the original binding. I then cut a piece of yellow paper at 9 1/2 x 2 1/2 and used my fiskars scallop edge punch.

As for the princess I cut her out at 4 inches, I used the simple sallies face set from peachy keen stamps for the face. As for the dress I first cut it out of vellum and then out of pink cardstock. I then cut the arms and bottom ruffle off the pink dress so the vellum would show under the pink. I added stickles to the arms and the ruffle to give it a little sparkle. The jewles on the crown I attached using the irock. I just got this tool in the mail yesterday and I LOVE it.

I hope you all enjoyed my project!
