Good Luck

Shelby did it to me again.  A friend of hers was moving and she says "Can you make me a card?" I say  "Of course, I would love to.  When do you need it?"  She says "In about 45 minutes."

Her friend had worked at McDonalds, so I made this little guy from Cricut Decals page 28 with the coke in his hand.  It was a quick and easy card with My Pink Stamper's stamp from the Everyday Life set and punched out with Stampin' Up's Modern Label punch.

She said he really like the card.

Purple and Green Thank You Card

This awesome paper is from DCWV Latte stack.  The "Thank You" is from the American Alphabet (that came with the E2) using the Font 3 Shift and Font 3 Shadow Shift keys from page 63.  The Label is from Cricut Essentials which also came with the E2.  It is from page 45 and I cut it in 3 sizes each 1/4 inch larger for the layered effect. Rounded the corners and added a purple ribbon.

Quick card

I'm back!  We had an extraordinary trip to Turkey.  The sites were unbelievably amazing.  And spending time with family was very special.  Now I am back to the scraproom!

I put this together really quickly for a friend who lost their father this weekend.  The paper is from DCWV Linen Closet, the ribbon is Paper Trey Ink and the stamp is from My Pink Stamper's Everyday Occasions set.

This shows that all you need is a few scraps of paper to make a card. 

But you are not getting my Cricuts away from me!!!!!!

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.

Hugs to You

I kept wanting to do something with these scraps from another card that I made.  The paper is from Paper Studio's Oops a Daisy. The ribbon is from Paper Trey Ink.

It's just hard for me to get the colors right in photographs.  This flower is from American Alphabet ( I adore this cartridge) page 23.  I added the stitching around the flower to compliment the ribbon.
The "hugs to you" is a http://www.mypinkstamper.com/ stamp from the Everyday Life set.  I stamped it with Stampin' Up ink and cut it out with the Stampin' Up Modern Label punch.  I popped up the flower and the sentiment.

I think this card really turned out cute and not at all like my original vision!  But that is often how it goes.

Baby Frame

A sweet friend of mine (Betty Hall) gave me this adorable picture frame.  It is metal and came with three adorable magnets - rattle, feet and carriage.  I don't think she knew, but the colors are perfect for the baby's room.  So I decided to add her name in vinyl.  I just happened to have this pink vinyl which worked perfectly.

I cut the letters from the American Alphabet cartridge that came with the E2 set at 1.75 inches.  I used the pre-set vinyl kiss cut on the machine and it cut perfectly.  I didn't use transfer tape.  I just peeled each letter off with my handy dandy Tweezer Bees and placed them directly on the frame. I think it turned out really cute.  The problem with vinyl is once you finish one project, you immediately start looking for another!!

I hope Betty doesn't mind that I send it to Billy & Clare for the baby's room, since it is the perfect colors.  Thanks again, Betty.

Baby, you are a firework

Okay, this is not the most professional card that I have made, but it is fun anyway.

This dancing darling is from Rock Princess.  The base layer is a shiny metallic red, but in the picture you can only tell on the bottom part of the card.  My printer was broken, so I tried to compromise.  I used some stickers for the first line and then cut "firework" from the Rock Princess font in the same metallic red.  I had to piece the words together. I used Stickles to glitter the stars and to add "confetti". I used Glossy Accents on the skirt and the shoes.  The bracelet cuts were so small, I used markers to draw them on and added Glossy Accents.

By the time I did the inside I had replaced my printer.  I printed the inside sentiment. I used the Amerian Alphabet cartridge that came with my Expression 2 Anniversary Edition for the word BLAST!

This card was for one of Shelby's friends and it fit her well!
