A little princess card.

I made a card this week for a couple of challenges.  Since I have the summer off I thought it would be fun to get my creative mojo going by doing a few challenges.

I used the Lacy Labels cart on this card

Love You Card

I decided to make a card and enter some challenges.  Since they cancelled school for 2 days I had a little extra time.  We got hit with a good amount of snow.  They are calling for more tonight.  Enough already.  I am ready for some sunshine!

 

 

For this card I used MME Honey pattern paper. I used the Cricut lite Lacy Labels for the die cut.  I embossed the center using the cuttlebug swiss dots folder.  Added some pearls, flowers, and glossy accents on the hearts.

April swap

Well it is time again for the swap.  This months swap was feminine cards.  What we have been doing is using the month before the holiday as our swap so we can use the cards we are sent for that holiday.  May is Mother's day so for April we decided on feminine cards.  Next month for May we will make male themed cards because Father's day is in June.  Just in case you were wondering how we picked some of the themes for our swap.  This month I was to send 3 cards to Millie.  Here are the 3 cards I sent her.



I used Cricut lite Lacy Labels on this card.




I used Cricut lite Bloom for the basket of flowers.




I used Flower Shoppe for the 3 blue flowers.

A card of a different fold.

I was watching crafting videos on YouTube.  Oh yes I am a big YouTube craft video junkie.  I love watching all the cool projects people make.  So much talent and creativity in the world!  I was watching one video where a lady was making cards and folding them differently.  I decided to give one a whirl.  I stepped outside of my comfort zone with this one.  I took a 6"x10" piece of card stock to make it.  The label on the card is from the Lacy labels cricut cart.  The little girl/boy die cut is from K&Co. die cuts.  Background paper is from a recollection stack, Love Letters.  The tag I made is from a punch and the ticket is one of Tim Holtz.  Hope you like it.  Comments are welcome.

Card for my sister

From time to time we all go through a rough patch in life.  My sister is going through a rough patch right now. I wanted to make her a card to cheer her sad heart and let her know that I love her.  She lives a couple hours away from me and we don't get to see each other that much.  She loves getting my handmade cards in the mail.  Even the not so great ones......she loves them all.

I made this card using 2 Cricut carts.  Lacy Labels, & Cindy Loo.  I just love this owl on the cindy loo cart page 60.  I cut it at 3".  I also cut the label at 3" from the lacy labels cart.  I used 3 different embossing folders.  1 Sizzix Ellison folder.  2 Cuttlebug folders, spots & dots, and moroccan.  I love the texture I got from embossing the background and the owl.  The pattern paper is from K&Co. Life's Journey 12x12 pad.  The stamp is from Studio G.....my favorite dollar stamps!  Of course there is some bling & glitter.  All put on a A2 size card.

Happy Crafting!

Thank You Card

I made a card over the weekend for my mom.  She is great mom with a big heart and I love her so much.  I haven't sent her a card in awhile and thought this one would be perfect.  I got a cute digi stamp from Tiddly Inks and gave a try at copic markers.  I have managed to collect about 22 markers in over a year.  Because of the expense I only pick one up here and there at my local scrap store.  I went on You tube to watch a few video's on how to shade and color with them.  I have to say I find it hard to catch on.  Maybe if I had a lot more markers it would be easy but I don't know.  It doesn't seem like the kind of thing you can just pick up real easy at least for me.  I think I am going to stick to using my colored pencils with mineral spirits for now.  Maybe use the markers for the skin color.  When I made this card I used a cricut lite Lacy Labels cart for the center piece background.  Well I'm off to put this card in the mail for her.  Have a great day!
