Daffodil Thank You Card - Cookie Challenge!

Hello Crafters & Bakers! Today LilaLoa and I are doing our Cookie Card Challenge. I chose the following Daffodil cookies to make a paper project off of.  They are so pretty and I just love the dimension to them.  Isn't she just amazing???  You can see her post about these cookies HERE.

I found this really pretty Daffodil in my Cricut Library.  It was one flat flower w/ a shadow behind it so I cut out the main image in two different colors and paper pieced them together for my flower image.  I love how this turned out.

My Cricut also wrote out the Thank You for my message.  I love this pen option with the new Cricut Explore machine.  I hardly use my message stamps anymore because I have this feature.

I also bought a new Anna Griffith Cuttlebug Embossing Folder.  I usually tend for more simple designs but I wanted to try this one out and I just loved it.

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to drop by LilaLoa's blog to see what cookies she made off of one of my card designs!  :)

Happy Mothers Day or Any Occasion Card

Hi Crafters! Today Glora and I are having our cut challenge. I needed to make a Mother's Day card so I chose this very pretty tulip cut by Bird. You can download this cut HERE. All her SVG files are free! There are some amazing cuts on her website, Bird's Cards.

I flooded the cut with Pretty Papers Pretty Ribbon Spring Fling paper collection. You can see the papers HERE.  So pretty!  I love the paper designs.  Totally worth the moola!  I cut out the tulip twice.  One for the back and the 2nd one I attached on the edges and stuck tissue paper between the two to make it more 3D and rounded.  I love the way it turned out.  Unfortunately it doesn't really show the roundness/3D-ness in the pics.  :)

Sorry the pics are dark.  I had to use my cell.

Be sure to stop by Glora's website, Glora's Crafts, to see what she made with this cut.  She is extremely talented and creates her projects with a lot of detail.  :)  Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Mother's Day!

Hello Crafters! I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day. Mine was nice and relaxing, hung out with the family. Then my two dogs ate a whole large bag of Peanut M&M's. It was a gift to my mom from my brother. I'm sure I'll be up tonight with some sick dogs. Fingers crossed it's not too bad.

This is the card that I made for my mom.  I made a shape card based off the main front image.  What I did was use the shadow cut of that image and joined it together to make the shape card.  I then cut out the original cut w/ all of the inside cuts hid to make it a solid cut.  That is the white cut on the card.  I cut out the main image in green and another one in purple.  Then I cut out just the flower by hand from the purple cut.  Hopefully that made some sense.  I should have made a video on it but I made it pretty quickly.  :)

Have a great week and Thanks for stopping by!  :)

Rockin' Mother's Day!

Today's Mother's Day card is more of a funky rockin' type of card.  This is for my sister from her boys.  She is a little funky and rock n' roll.  The cartridge I thought of immediately is the JT Imagine cartridge.  It has some real fun patterns on there.  I wish I wouldn't have added the jewels.  I think I liked them better not on there but too late.  :)  I printed the message w/ my computer.

Elegant Mother's Day Card

Hi Crafters!  This week over at Creative Critters Imagination blog we're continuing the theme of Mother's Day.  I immediately thought of Lori's Garden Imagine cartridge.  It has so many elegant images on it.  The image I found on the cartridge was this horizontal rose vine image.  I thought that it would look great on a tall card.  I also added a sentiment, pearls, and glitter to finish it off.

I popped up the main rose w/ 1 level of pop dots.  Then popped up the center part of the rose w/ 2 levels of pop dots to make it stand out more.  I outlined the rose w/ Diamond stickles.  If you use Diamond Stickles on a printed image it wets the ink and makes it darker.  So it matches the colors of the design perfectly and you only need one color of Stickles.

Card Size:

4" x 9" - Tall Card, will fit in a business envelope

Flower Image - 7"

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!

MPS Challenge #1: Mother's Day

I cut the oval and scalloped oval from the Gypsy font "cartridge" that was loaded on my gypsy. They didn't have a plain scallop that I could see so I used one of the alpha scalloped cuts and since my white oval was going on top of it I thought it wouldn't matter and it doesn't! You can't tell. The coral flourish was used with the EK Success wave flourish punch. It is just twisted around the ribbon. I got this idea from Gina K Designs. You can see how she does this by going HERE.

The sentiment is from My Pink Stampers Everyday Occasions stamp set. The cardstock used is from SU! & PTI. The ribbon is from PTI. I embossed the white paper with the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug Embossing folder. Don't you just love this folder? It can be used so many ways.

Thanks for looking! Hope you try out the challenge at My Pink Stamper's site!!
