Card Swap Time

The theme this month was Easter.  My turn to send 3 cards to Kim.  I used BoBunny cardstock stickers "Chocolate Bunny" on the first 2 cards.  I love the colors in these stickers.  Then on the last card I used Kate's ABC's.  Love Love that cart.  I will posting more pictures of the cards Millie and Kim made soon as I get them.

Happy Crafting!

Card swap time

Here are the 3 cards I sent to Millie this month.  The theme for this month is Thinking of You.  I got Kim's cards today.  I will take pictures of them and post them soon.

Happy Crafting!

Watering can card

I used the watering can on page 66 of Kate's ABCs cricut cart to make this card.  I cut it at 4inch using my gypsy.  I ran the watering can and the orange flower through the cuttlebug using the swiss dots embossing folder.  On the back ground paper I used a sizzix embossing folder but I don't know the name of it *sorry*.  I threw the package out for it.  I wanted the card to have lots of texture.  The green felt butterflies I got from M's dollar bin awhile back.  Hope you like it.

MPS Challenge 4

My Pink Stamper's challenge 4 is a Mother's Day Theme.  Well I had already made my Mother's Day card for my mom and posted it.  I made another Mother's Day card.  I mean there is no crime in giving mom 2 cards on Mother's day.  I used Kate's ABCs (My favorite cart right now) to cut the vase with flowers.  I embossed the paper behind it using a cuttlebug folder Fleur De Lis.  I put some pearls in the center of the flowers.  Added a piece of paper lace doily to the bottom of the paper.  A dust pf ultra fine pink glitter to the doily.

Repeat from yesterday

I made another April Showers card.  I cut the girl the same size and used the same size card as yesterday.  I had to make one for my mom.  My mom lives close to me but I have a sister and a friend who live a couple hours away.  I send a lot of the cards I make to them.  My friend is also a card maker and sends me a card from time to time also.  It is nice to get that hand made card in the mail.  I always put them on my cupboard and display it.  Thanks for looking.

April Showers Bring May Flowers!

I was inspired to do this card due to the down pour of rain we were getting.  I keep telling myself that we need this rain for the May flowers.  I know I am ready for some sunshine.  It has been raining on and off for so long now I quit keeping track.  I made the girl from Kate's ABCs cart.  I cut her at 4 inches and used a A4 size card.  I had some cute umbrella patterned paper and had to find a way to include it in the card.  Hope you like it!

Purple & yellow duo

I made 2 cards with the same backgrounds.  I pulled a 12x12 piece of coredinations color core paper out of my pack so I decided why not make 2 cards with the purple.  I embossed them both in the cuttlebug using the stylized flowers folder.  Then the fun part I sanded them to bring out the embossing.  On the first card shown I used Kate's ABCs cart, page 68 in the hand book to make the flowers.  I used spellbinders nestabilities classic scalloped circle dies for both cards.  I used clear yellow glass beads to dress up the first card a bit.  On the second card I used Sweet Novenber Stamps by Amy Young, Spring Elves.  I actually won these stamps about a year ago on All that scraps blog.....http://atsblog.typepad.com/.  First and only time I have ever won anything from a blog.  I stitched around the card, added a flower brad and some glitter glue. 

Thanks for looking!

Believe card!

I was looking through the Kate's ABCs book and found these butterflies.  I decided to make a card using them.  The believe stamp is another Michael's dollar stamps.  I am a big fan of their dollar bin.  You just can't beat a stamp for a buck.  The curly brown glittler adhesive I found at Michael's too.  I thought they were pretty cool.  Already glittered, colored, and ready to stick.  They help dress up a card in no time.  Hope you like the card.  Have a great day all!

1st Easter card made this year.

Yesterday I was lucky enough to snag the last Kate's ABCs cart from J's.  They didn't even have a tag hanging up I just took a chance and asked it they had it and they had one left under the counter.  I am so glad I got this cart.  I really love all the cute images on it.  Since I have a boy & a girl I need to put Nate's ABCs on my wish list.

Onto my card.  I have to say I scraplifted this card from Youtube.  Here is the link for the video.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8zUsbUNjg4

I know I will be making some more cards with this cart.  I will also be making cards with some of the older carts too with PC raising their prices.  With gas going up it is not in my budget to spend a lot of money for a cart.  Especially if I have Make the Cut.
