A Beautiful Card By Laurie

I just had to show off this beautiful card that Laurie made for me as a thank you note. The deign, the colors, the embellies are all just too delicious!! I know she created the flower centers with her new fun Epiphany Craft tool. She will have to tell us the rest of the deets on how she made it!

Happy Anniversary

Here is an anniversary card I whipped up.  It really is super busy, almost too busy for me.   But Kel said she loved it, so I am going with it. I figured, I would step out of my comfort zone and just go with it!!

Everything I used was from my stash.  I have had this paper for ever!! I cut out some of the flowers and adhere them with pop dots, give it the 3D feel.  Around the page punch by Martha Stewart it the little window where the flower is peeking through.

Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for stopping by!!

Easter Week

Good morning. Welcome to day four. I hope you have been enjoying the week.    Here is a card I made I wanted a more elegant feel.

My recipe:

All papers are from StampingUP! Sunshine Garden Kit

Doodlecharms from the eggs cut at 4.5" and shadowed  I think took out my Inkadoo stamps that have flourishes on them and stamped each egg with a different color and different flourish.  The of course pop dotted them as well.

Inkadoo for the sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by!!!

Easter Week.......

Hello everyone. Welcome to day two of Easter Week. Kel and I really tried to make each card different.  It was not easy, but I think we accomplished it.  Stay tuned all week and let us know what you think.

The recipe of our card was:

The little girl is from A Child's Year, page 33. we flipped her to face to the right, and cut her at 3.25"  

The eggs, and butterflies are from Doodle Charms, pg 89

The punch is from Fiskars and the papers are from our stashed and of course inked up (we have an inking problem, lol).

The sentiment is from Inkadoo.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Easter card week........

Good morning!  I hope you had a great weekend. Kel and I were busy in the cave getting our Easter Cards done and thought we would show them off this week.  Hopefully you will find some inspiration.

My recipe:

All papers are K&Company from  my stash and they all matched so well I had to use them.

Bunny is from Stretch your Imagination, pg 67 cut @3.25 and layered. I couldn't even stand this little lady  standing on the egg, so cute!!!

Basket and Eggs are from Doodlecharms page 89, basket is cut at 3.50" and the eggs 2.25.

I cuttlebugged the basket with a new folder from Darice. Have you see these in AC Moore, each folder is ONLY $1.88!!  So crazy, I bought about 5.  They aren't very fancy with their names, some don't even have names.

Grass is from the string like ribbon I had laying around, it made such fun grass.

The white paper is of course Swiss dots!!

Sweet little card.

Good Friday morning everyone!! I am so glad its Friday!! It has been a long week.  Lots of sick folks in my house!

I made this sweet card for my boss.  She got a promotion and we are going to have a surprise celebration today and one of the ladies I work with found out I made cards so I was elected to make a card.

I went to my trusty Cricut Card Maker book and found a layout that I liked and Igot busy.  Believe it or not everything is from my stash! Woohoo!!

Have a great weekend everyone and thanks for stopping by.

The hearts are cut from Cricuts Craft Room Basics - this comes with the Expression Two Cricut Machine

And so it begins......the unpacking from the crop!

I finally cleaned out one of my bags from last week's crop.  We pack so much and then we have to unpack, lol!  Kel and I really had a great time and I got 20 pages done, my son's entire High School Football album and about 15 cards, so I did well.

I made this card for a girl that is turning 13. I won't mention any names because her Mom reads this blog, lol, its for Dawn's daughter.

My recipe:

StampinUP! paper for the base
Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder for the brown paper

Christmas cards for my BFF's...............

Friday has arrived!! Woohoo and I have a few days off from work. I plan to get all my Christmas shopping done and wrapped by Monday after.  I will let you know if I was successful!!

Here is the card I made for my three besties and their families.  All three are crafters so I had to put my thinking cap on.

I thought a cute Christmas scene would be cute.

I used Christmas Cheer to cut the fireplace, the tree and the stockings. I personalized the stockings with their kids initials.

The garland on the tree was stickles.  I am usual not a fan of stickles, but I though they were perfect for what I needed them for. The decorations on the tree are epoxies stickers, I just love them.  I used all papers from my stash.

Have a great weekend and hope your Christmas stuff is under control!!

More Christmas, sparkly..........

Good morning Everyone!!  I hope everyone is having a great week. Its official, all my cards in the mail!! Woohoo!! Feels so good to have that off my plate.

Here is a "snow globe" card I made. I made about 8 of these.

My recipe:

Christmas Cheer Cart - The snow globe cut at 3.25" and layered
I broke out my nestabilities (everyone seems to be using them, I thought I better join in), they are the rectangluar scalloped ones. I used the middle two for the blue layers.

StampinUP Ribbon and of course StampinUp! Stamp and I sparkled it up with my sparkly pen.

I added the glittery dots that I had from my stash and realized after I took the picture I am missing one. I never found it!!

I am going to enter this card over at http://www.creativecutterroom.com/.  The challenge is to make a Christmas Project not using red or green.

Thanks for stopping by!

Take two - Tree Card

Good morning. As promised here is take two of yesterday's card.  This card is super glittery in person.  I used the Recollections Glitzy Glitter Stack for the awesome cranberry paper and for the tree as well. The recipe for this card is in yesterday's post.

Thanks so very much for stopping by.  The weekend is almost here, yay!!!!

And Christmas Continues

We are very busy in the scrapcave making our cards, lol!  I take NO credit for this card. Kel found the template on Pintrest and showed it to me, I fell in love and had to make some.  I am sure Kel will show hers off as well. It amazing how different the card can look with just changing up the papers.  I love the elegant feel.

The recipe:
Christmas Cheer Cartridge- page 91 for the Christmas Tree, cut at 4".
Recollection Glitzy Glitter for the patterned paper
Recollections Joyful Christmas paper pack for the paper on the tree
Ribbons and Rosettes Cartridge page 56 - cute at 1"x11" (this cartridge is awesome), for the tree layers.
Ribbon on the top from my stash (thanks Noni)

Black cardstock for the base of the card, white for the first layer and green for the second layer.

Kel came up with an easy idea, instead of using a punch for the layers on the tree, let the Cricut do the work for us. The Ribbons and Rosettes Cart cuts out a strip of 1x11 so we just lined it up on the tree and cut it to fit.  It took about 3 strips, not too bad.

Thanks for stopping by. If you need more detailed directions feel free to ask, we are happy to email them to you.

More Christmas....

Hello Everyone. I hope the week is off to a good start!  Here are two more cards I am working on.  I made about 15 of these. I decided this year I wasn't going to make the same card for everyone.  I get bored after about 10, so I wanted to mix it up a bit.

The first picture is a my messy table!!

I used Recollections Red paper for the base of the card and Recollections Bright Christmas Paper is the patterned paper.  Merry Christmas is from my Creative Time Stamps along with the little tag die cut.  Ribbon from my stash and its done!

We Wish You a Merry Christmas........

Good Monday Morning.  Wasn't it just Friday?  Wow where did the weekend go? I was busy this weekend in the scrapcave working on my Christmas Cards.  I made this card for my Dad.  He loved the card I made Kel so I thought I would surprise him with his own.

My recipe:
StampinUP Old Olive
Creative Memories Be Merry - the green polka dot paper and the Be Merry Sticker
Martha Stewart Craft Mat Pad for the birdhouses/bird paper
Recollections Bright Christmas Stack
