Cupcake Birthday

This image is from Damask Decor.  The paper is from the Paper Studio Oops a Daisy stack.  The punch is a Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page.  I rounded the corners with my Friskars punch. I couldn't get this card to turn out like I envisioned, but the stickles on the cupcake really helped it. 



For the inside I used another Pink Stamper stamp (look for link in older posts).

This will be my last post for a while.  I am heading out on vacation for two weeks.  I have been working on a scrapbook of old pictures the past several days as a gift for my husband's aunt and uncle who we will see on our trip. So I haven't had anything to post recently.

Mother's Day 2011

Damask Decor strikes again for Mother's Day!

This design is from Page 51 of Damask Decor.  The patterned paper is from DCWV The Whimsy Stack.  The green and pink are both PaperTrey Ink.  The blue was in my scraps, so I am not sure, probably from a
DCWV stack.   For the inside the "Happy Mother's Day" is from the 2010 Mother's Day seasonal cartridge. The patterned paper is the same for the first layer on the card, the shadow of the design and for the inside of the card.

Damask Decor III

Are you tired of this cartridge yet?  Not me.  It is so easy to make great cards quickly with this cartridge.

This cut is from page 55.  Cut at 3 1/2 on a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inch card. The image was cut from DCWV paper from the Mariposa and Summer Dreams stacks.  The card base is from the Summer Dreams Stack.  The patterned paper is from a Me & My Big Ideas paper pad. The ribbon is Paper Trey Ink.

The inside is blank for future use.

Back to Damask Decor

I finished Julianne's book and now I am back to Damask Decor. 
This is the very first cut in the book and I liked it right away.  I used DCWV's Glimmer Stack.  Added a ribbon and a couple of pearls and ........Voila'  beautiful card.

Damask Decor Again.

I sure am loving this cartridge.  I can't put it down!  So here is another card.  I left room at the bottom for a sentiment and the inside is blank. I very rarely make cards for no specific purpose, but did I mention how much I want to make everything on this cartridge?

The patterned paper and the card base is from a stack from the Paper Studio called Oops-A-Daisy.  The others are just scraps.  The design is on page 55 of the cartridge.

Guess I'm off to make something else from Damask Decor!!!

Easter Cards

I have spent all morning making Easter cards.  But really they were very quick and easy.  When I was looking through my Damask Decor cartridge, it has a card feature with some really great cards.  A couple were oval and I thought they would make great Easter cards because they reminded me of stained glass easter eggs.  So .....

These were from page 29 of Damask Decor.  I used contrasting color with glitter paper on front and solid as the card base.  The stamp which I used on all of the cards is from the Stampin' Up set Easter Blossoms.

I put the paper clip so that you could see the card closed.

This card is from page 59.  I didn't have glitter paper to match so I used Stickles to give it some sparkle.

I know I always say this, but they are prettier in person, especially the turquoise one.  It is just hard for me to get a picture really shows the subtleties.

Damask Decor

I had no intention of buying any more Cricut Cartridges as I don't have enough room for the ones I have!
But I went to Michael's yesterday and they had some of the newer ones on sale and they had one that I wanted for a gift for someone --- so if I am going to buy one, I may as well buy three and get the one free from Provo Craft (http://www.cricut.com/michaelsbuy3/).  I picked up Damask Decor and Quarter Note for myself.  Below is a card that I came home and made from the Damask Decor cartridge.

This cut is from page 33 of the cartridge. I cut it at 3 3/4" and it fit a 5" x 7" card nicely.  As usual I like bling and shimmer but do not photograph it well. For the cut I used papers from DCWV Shimmer Stack, so it has a shine to it.  The patterned papers are from K&Co.  The stamp I used for the inside sentiment is from  a Stampin' Up set called Well Scripted. 
As I was making this card I didn't think I was going to like it, but I really like the way it came out with the colors and papers.
