Silhouette Card

I saw Linda on Paper Boutique do a card with a silhouette and I remembered that the Heritage cartridge had a few.  This card had been started but I never finished it. So I used George and Basic Shapes to cut the ovals and the sentiment shapes.  The sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Designers Choice.  I used my Irock for the bling.

Child's Birthday Card

I love this dinosaur from Create a Critter.  He was cut at 4" and I did 3 layers of different colors.  I ran him through the cuddlebug using the Tiny Mosaic embossing folder.  I inked around the card and over the embossing.  I used a pair of scissors that are different designs to cut around the sentiment. The sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Simple Sentiments clear stamps.

Rosettes

Hi Everyone,  I have learned how to make these great rosettes from The Paper Boutique blog.  The paper is from American Crafts and the card is at 5 X 7. The cupcake is an extra one I had around so I'm sorry to say I don't know what the size is.   The rosettes are very easy to make and Linda is an excellent instructor.  Check out her website at http://paperboutique.blogspot.com/search/label/rosettes  You will not be disappointed.

Happy President's Day

Hi Everyone, This has been such a wonderful day off.  I spent a couple of hours with my 92 year old grandmother.  Then I came back home and made a couple of baby cards.  No one I know having a baby, but thought it was good to have a couple on hand in case someone might need one.  The paper I bought at T. J Maxx and it's from Anna Griffin.  Great paper and so cute. The stamp was from My Pink Stamper, Family & Friends Stamps. The twine was from Pink Cricut.  The cartridge was New Arrival.  Hope you like it.

New Cards

I haven't posted in a while I know, however, below are a few new ones.  I've been making cards, I just haven't been posting them.

Truck Birthday Card

Here is a card from "Just Because"  Cards Cartridge.  Another great cartridge and a must have for Cricut users.  Everything was cut at 4".  I had my father in mind when I made this card.  His birthday is in May.  Between now and then I'm sure I will make many more with him in mind.

Kick up Your Heels!!

This card was made from the Birthday Bash cartridge.  This is a 5 1/4" x 5 1/4" card.  The silly dog was cut at 3", however, I wish I had cut him out a little larger.  The stamp was from Scrappy Moms.

Cats Meow!!

Here is another card made from Nifty Fifties.  I cut this cat at...I beleive...3 3/4".  I didn't write it down.  Sorry.  Once again the stamp is from Scrappy Moms.

Teenage Birthday Card

I have the hardest time making masculine cards.  However, Edna, aka Pinky at Create with Expression, made this card and I thought it was so great for a teenage boy or a 20 something young man.  She made it for her 21 year old nephew.  This card is from my new Nifty Fifties cartridge.  I am loving this cartridge.  I bought it thinking I could make some nostalgic cards for my parents. However, anyone would love cards made from this cartridge.  The guitar and notes were cut at 4 1/4".  I used brads at the bottom and the sentiment is from Scrappy Moms.  A must have cartridge.  You won't regret it.

A Card from Our Puppies to their Cousin

Here is a card I made from our dogs to my parents dog, Josie and my sister-in-law's dog, Bailey. It was my first time flocking on a card. You probably can't see it (its the black part of the dog), but it turned out great. This card is from Create A Critter.  The dog was at 2 3/4", the dish was at 3/4", and the bones were at 1/2". The sentiment was from Scrappy Moms Love Notes.  I really like her clear stamps.
