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.

Girlfriend

I went to Joanns yesterday for the first time since Clare and I went at Christmas.  I have been trying to curb my appetitie for paper! BUT yesterday I bought the Black Currant paper stack by DCWV.  I have been looking at it since the fall, but always needed papers for other projects.  I also got some cute Friskars clear stamps for 40% off.  One of the ones I bought is called Girls Night Out and it and the paper inspired this card.

The card base is Paper Trey Ink silver cardstock. The pink layer and the shoe are both from the Black Currant stack.  The shoe is cut from the Happily Ever After cartridge on page 41, Cinderella's slipper. I used the Icon for both cuts, one in silver and one in the black patterned paper.  I filled the heart on the shoe with Stickles called Tiara. I popped the shoe up on the card. (Can you believe I didn't put it on an Action Wobble! Hee Hee). The punch used for the border is from Stampin' Up. And some black ribbon in my stash.
The inside of the card was of course one of the stamps from the set I purchased.  It was stamped with Stampin' Up Rich Razzleberry. 
I like the way it turned out.  Simple but glitzy!

I also picked up the last Baby Steps cartridge that they had.  I wanted to get one for Clare too. I am sure that I can get it at a good price on-line for her.

Spring in your step

I made this card last week for my sister who had gall bladder surgery.  I didn't want to post it before she got it.

I used my Picturesque cartridge again for this card.  The patterned paper is from the DCWV Latte stack and the solid card stock is PaperTrey Ink.  The "lattice" background is from page 74, the flower on page 54 ( I used the main cut, the shift cut and the shadow cut.) The leaves are from page 55. The butterfly is from page 65 ( I used the main image, the shift image and the blackout image.)  The butterfly is cut from glitter paper and of course on an Action Wobble.  Stickles on the flower to complete.

For the inside:  My writing on the inside wasn't so even and straight! The "spring" is from the Straight from the Nest cartridge on page 74, the Phrase and the Phrase shadow.  I also put it on an Action Wobble.  A double wobble card!

Irish Birthday

It has been so long since I posted, I apologize. I didn't get a picture of a couple of things I made - my bad.

I made this card a couple of weeks ago.  So I will try to remember the details for you

The color is off obviously in the first picture, but I took it without flash so that you could see the stickles.
The card stock is from the DCWV Mariposa stack. The inside liner is card stock is from Core'dinations.

The card base is from Picturesque page 75 the Card and Seal feature. The white daisy is from page 53, the leaves are from page 55 and the dragonfly is from page 64.  The Many Wishes is from  Birthday Bash Phrase feature on page 51 and put on an Action Wobble.  The Happy Birthday is from Cricut Cake Basics page 68 Font feature. I was not happy with the way the front of the card came out but adding the stickles to the front improved it a bunch!  A little bling goes a long way - Ha! Ha!

Thanks for coming by to look,

Hello Kitty

My daughter asked me to make a birthday card for a friend and she asked specifically for Hello Kitty.

I've made several Hello Kitty cards and I always think I am making a mess of them and then when they are done, they always turn out cute.  Warning:  Do not attempt to make them small!  This one was cut out at 6 inches and even then some of the pieces are pretty small.  So this card is a 5 x 7 and the red base is Pure Poppy from PaperTrey Ink. The Striped layer is Stampin' Up. The purple layer is also PaperTrey Ink called Plum Pudding. The corner punch is Martha Stewart.  The white and gold ribbon is Stampin' Up.  It felt a little bare so I added six purple gems.  The hearts on the cake are from the corner punches. I added some Stampin' Up Crystal Effects to the cherries and some Fruit Punch Stickles to the center of the flowers.
Whew!
For the inside the sentiment came from Birthday Bash page 65 Phrase feature.
I had hard time with this card but it turned out pretty cute.
