Multi Cards Explosion: Day 3: A Little Miscellaneous

Day 3 of my MULTI-CARD EXPLOSION!!! Today I'm featuring cards that are a little miscellaneous.  I'll try to explain as I go.  :)

Card 1: Family

I made this card for my sister and her new husband when they got married.  They both have kids and they both have custody of those kids so this is a total blended family.   (7 kids total!)

Card 2: Bendy Father's Day Card

I wish I took better pics of this one.  It was really cool looking and classic.  It did fall flat when you unhooked the back and it fit in a regular A2 envelope.

Card 3: Wonder Woman!

This is my older sisters birthday card.  She is a woman that can do EVERYTHING and do it well.  She is also a mother of 5, just received her Bachelors in Nursing that she got later in life, works at night so she can be there for her kids during the afternoon/night for their school activities, and is a great wife & sister.

Card 4: Harmonica

I'm not super happy w/ this one.  I mean the card is fine but I made it for my nephew and I wish I would have used different colors.  Oh well, it's past now.  :)

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to stop by for Day 4 tomorrow!  :)

Happy Fathers Day!

Happy Father's Day! Here is a quick card I made w/ my Silhouette. The main image is a cut that I purchased and threw together. It took me less than 20 min to put this together and I just love the design. I even used pretty much the same colors that was in the example. I liked it. To determine the size I made a rectangle on my silhouette software the size of the white cardstock then sized down the image for it to fit inside it. 

I embossed the white image w/ the Argyle Cuttlebug embossing folder.  I thought it was prefect w/ this style of card.

Bow Tie Cookie Card

Hi Crafters and Bakers! One of my favorite days of the month is here! It's time for the Cookie/Card Challenge I do w/ my cousin, Georganne. She has a FABULOUS cookie/cake blog called LilaLoa. Her designs are fabulous and her writing is amazing. I wish I had her skill w/ words. :) With this challenge I get to take one of her cookie designs and make a craft project with it and she will take one of my paper projects and turn it into a cookie!

Here are her cookies that inspired my paper creation.  You can see her post HERE.

I just LOVE her bright colors and those are just the cutest bow ties.  You have to see her blog on how she made those little men.  She made them w/ a bell cookie cutter!  Anywho, here is my take on it:

I thought I could use this for a graduation card or something like that.  To make the elongated neck basically cut out a long thin rectangle and put it behind a shirt from Paper Doll Dress Up and a large head.  The head and shirt are cut at 9.9".

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to go to Georgeanne's blog to see what she made off of one of my paper projects.  :)

Episode 114: Happy Fathers Day Dad!

Happy Fathers Day!  I was going to post this on Friday but didn't want my Dad to see it just in case.

This is the card I made for my dad.  He was a helicopter pilot and did 2 tours in the Vietnam war.  The helicopter cut came from the Beep Beep Cricut cartridge.  I had two changes I wish I had made.  I which I made the main cut the dark green color instead of black and I wish I would have done the window a light blue. But hind sight and all and I wasn't going to redo it.  :)

 Here is the inside:

Multi-Tie Card

Hi Crafters!  Todays card was made for a missionary but it could definitely be used for a Father's Day card.

A young man in my church is going on a 2 year mission for our church.  He is going to South Africa Johannesburg.  How cool is that?  I have a DCWV Safari paper pack so I chose designer paper from there to make my ties.  The paper also has a material feel to it.  Love it!

The tie cut came from the Simply Charmed Cricut cartridge.  Sized at 3.5".  This really is a super simple card to make and you can definitely customize it towards whoever you give it to.

Father's Day Framed Project

My sister-in-law found a really fun picture of my brother and his 2 older kids and asked if I would find some way to showcase it.  It took me a while to come up with the idea but I really like the way it turned out.  So did she so that's a good thing.  :)  The decal images are from the Car Decal cartridge.  Now they don't have just a face image so I trimmed off the bodies by hand.

For the sentiment I put in an oval on my Gypsy and then manually entered in the words Funny Faces from the Don Juan alphabet Cricut cartridge.

Card Recipe:
Shadow Frame Box - Got at Michaels
Don Juan Cricut cartridge
Car Decals Cricut cartridge
PTI - Yellow buttons, Golden Harvest, White and Blueberry Sky cardstock
Striped paper is what I had on hand, don't know the brand

Happy Fathers Day Card

Here is a simple and fun Father's Day card I made using my Imagine machine.  The cut is from the Car Decals Cricut cartridge and I flood filled it in w/ my Heirloom Imagine cartridge.  The designer paper in the background is also from the Heirloom cartridge.  That cart has some really classy colors and designs on it.  Love it!  And to finish off my card I used the My Pink Stampers Happiest Moments stamp set.  That stamp set is a must have.

I'm also entering this card in the Creative Critterz Imagination challenge for Father's Day.  Super Fun!

Happy Fathers Day!

Here is a Father's Day card I made for my nephews to give their Dad. Now, I agree he is the best dad for them but I think mine is the best! ;)

This cut is from the new Cricut Lite Handy Man cartridge. I promised myself that I wouldn't get any Lite cartridges until they were around $25/30. Yeah, that lasted all of 1 week. :) I got a little bonus money from work so went to Walmart and got 3 Lite cartridges. I want 12 so leaving w/ only 3 is fantastic for me. lol :)

I used the Diamond Plate cuttlebug folder on the silver metallic paper. For the sentiment I printed it w/ my computer.

Thanks for looking!

MPS - Father's Day Challenge

The BBQ Grill (p. 41) and steak (p. 73) are from the 'From My Kitchen' cartridge. I cut the grill image in a few different ways:

- Main image - cut in black and used as the base

- Shift Main image - cut in black and silver. Cut the legs off of both and trimmed off the grill section on the black cut. That way the silver was showing through but w/ a black base.

- Layers image - Cut in yellow then chalked over it in orange so it looked like the coals were glowing.

- Popped up all but the base image on the card.

Let me know if you have any questions on this.

The base paper is PTI, the orange frame paper is SU! and the designer paper is from K&i Memories Classic Prints paper pack. Twine is from SU! The shine on the grill I drew on w/ my Gelly Roll Sakura Clear Star glitter pen. Love this pen! The glitter just rolls on.

The stamp is from the My Pink Stamper Everyday Occasions stamp set.

MPS Challenge #7: For Dad

The cut is from the Everyday Paper Dolls cartridge. It is the fisherman's hat. My dad is a fisherman but I thought it looked a lot like the hats he wears when he is outside. (He's bald) ;) I double cut the hat in the plaid and in the brown then cut out the band from the brown and added it to the plaid one. I then added metal brads to the band. I wish I would have made the hat a little bigger but that's OK.

The stamp sentiment is from the new My Pink Stampers Family & Friends set. They are on pre-order now. For details go to the MPS site.

Thanks for looking and for more details on the challenge go to the My Pink Stamper site.

Missionary Card

Here is a card I made for my brother, the missionary. I used the tie cut on the Father's Day page within the Designers Calendar cartridge. Then I got a scrap of skin tone paper and glued it behind the cut so it looks like he is wearing it. I also hand cut out a pocket and name tag. This would make a great card for a business man or Father's day card.
