It's That Time of Year...

OK, Christmas has come and gone, New Years was a blast, and the family has left.  You're thinking 'ahhh, a little relaxing time'.  Nope!  It's time to write your thank you notes!  I know, sigh, but make it simple and it'll be fast and painless.  :)  Here is a simple thank you card that I made using the Nursery Tails cartridge.  

This card is a 3.5" x 5" sized card.  Perfect size for a Thank You card.  The tree is sized at 5.25".  Then I cut out the bird 3 more times for accents.  One on the tree:

Once on the inside (which I flipped so it was facing the opposite direction):

And one for the outside of the envelope:

Easy!  Have fun making your Thank You cards this week!  :)

Baby Gift Bag

Hi crafters!  One of my friends just had a baby boy and I wanted to get her a little something.  I picked up a couple of blankets and a little doggie.  I wanted a cute way to package it and decided to make a homemade gift bag and tag.  There is a very simple way to make this bag.  I learned how to make them from Bona.  You can see the video HERE.  I'll make a video of it soon.

The paper that I used from the bag is from the DCWV Baby Boy paper stack.  The image on the front and the tag is from the Nursery Tails Imagine cartridge.

Magnetic Board

Happy Tuesday!  For my Creative Critterz Imaginations blog post I decided on making a hanging magnetic board.  The theme this week is Home Decor.  I used Nursery Tails Imagine cartridge for all pattern paper and the April Showers Cricut cartridge for my cuts.  The border is also from the Nursery Tails cartridge.  Here is a pic of it hanging, it's hard to see against a white wall unfortunately.  More pics are below where you can see the colors and cuts better.

The size of the board is 8.5" x 9.25".  I used bought 26 guage sheet metal from home depot and cut that down to 8" x 7.5" using tin snips.  Glued that down on the chipboard and then covered that w/ my designer paper.  The border is cut at 2" and I glued that down w/ it hanging over the end of my chipboard a little so you could only see the border and not the bottom of the chipboard.

To make my magnet I used my I-top tool.  My butterfly is cut at 2" and my house is cut at 6.5".  Here is an up close pic of the designer paper that can be found on the Nursery Tails Imagine cartridge.

I have made a magnetic board before and you can see a video of it HERE and HERE.

Some Fun Cards

Here are a couple of fast but cute cards I made to showcase the new My Pink Stampers stamps.  This new set I believe are MUST HAVES for all of them.  They are so versatile.  Love them!!!

This first card I made I used the My Pink Stampers Freedom Rocks stamp set.  You don’t have to use them just for patriotic or military. I made mine girly.  I thought it could be used for when your daughter goes off to college or is coming home from her mission.  You can use it different ways for sure.   Don’t get me wrong; this would be perfect for someone in the military as well.  J

This next card I made using the My Pink Stampers Invitation Only stamp set.  This one is really versatile.  The top two stamps say “You’re invited to a” and “It’s a” then the stamps below it you can combine with those two phrases.  So you can say ‘You’re invited to a neighborhood party!’ or ‘It’s a BBQ!’.  OR you can use the phrases separately, which is what I did w/ this card.  I also cut up my stamp (GASP).  That is the one thing I love about clear stamps.  You can cut them up to help you layer them like you need to.  This sentiment was originally on one straight line.

Imagine Nursery Tails – Used the Layout page from Nursery Tails at 4.5”.  I cut the house from one of the art images as a layer piece alone at 4.5”.

Episode 61: PPC Tall Card

Happy Monday!  Today's card I made for two reasons 1) It's my Mother's Day card and 2) made a Tall Card for the Paper Playtime Challenge.  That is the theme.  You can make any type of card it just has to be a tall card.

Just a heads up, I'm in the process of moving my craft room to another room on a whole different floor so I'm not sure how often I'll be able to craft this week.  :)  Have a great week!
