Another card using Cindy Loo

This is just a simple card.  I like making a few cards that can be used for anything.  It is always nice when something comes up and you don't have time to make a card.  So here is my simple card.  I used a 5X7 card base.  The design is from the Cindy Loo cricut cart on page 32.  It was cut at 4 inches.  I just used a corner punch for the background paper, and put a few white dots on the design to help it pop a little.  Added a little embossing to the design.  A easy and fun card to make.

B-day card

I made this birthday card for my sister.  It is a 5x7 size card.  I was in the mood to make some larger die cuts.  I used the Cindy Loo cart.  I used the paisley from page 33 and cut it at 4 inch.  Added a chipboard with the saying Happy Birthday and a tiny bling flower.  The strip of pink going across the card used the paisley cuttlebug folder.  (yeah finally used that folder) I wanted to do something different then a cupcake or cake...nothing wrong with them I just was in the mood to do something different.  Hope she likes it.

Card for Busy Sister!

My sister has been busy working overtime and getting ready for her first grandbaby.  I thought I would just send her a card to say hi and let her know she is in my thoughts.  I used Create a Critter cricut cart pg. 68 for the word Busy.  Then I used "Just Because" Cards cricut cart for the bee and the word bee pg. 56.  Added some bling and sent it on its way.  I like making cards for my family & friends.  They don't have to be perfect for me.  It is just a nice way to let them know they are in my thoughts and it gives me a chance to relax and enjoy crafting.  Have a great day!

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.

Prom layout

A couple months after the prom I manage to get done 1 layout.  It was a Hollywood movie type theme prom.  I used some plain black bazzil paper for the base and Bo Bunny paper on top of that.  The flower bunch with the peacock feather came from Webster Pages.  The glitter curly chipboard, and black flowers came from M's.  I used the cricut cart Nursery Rhymes for the font.  The photo on the layout is of my son and his date.  It is both their senior year prom.  I really liked how this turned out.  In my opinion I think it is the best layout I have done yet.  I keep telling myself pratice makes perfect.  I have tons of photos left to pratice on that is for sure. 

Your tweet card

Its has been a good while since I posted anything.  Here is a little card I put together using the Straight from the Nest cart.  Hope you all are enjoying your summer.  Have a good one!

B-day cards

My daughters birthday is coming up soon so I figured I would get busy making her card.  I asked her what her favorite colors were (cause with kids they can change from day to day).  She said lime green and blue.  All rightie then.  I made the cake from the Simply Charmed cricut cart and used lime green and blue.  Added a couple of blue buttons with green twine tied through them.  So happy to get it done ahead of time.  Then............

She says you didn't ask what kind of animal I liked.  I knew right away what she was talking about.  The Create a Critter cart.  She loves the animals in this cart.  So I gave her the book to look through and tell me what animal she wanted.  She picked the lamb.  I decided since I already did lime green and blue on the cake card I was going to do the lamb card with the colors I felt like.  For this card I remember to write down what I cut the dies at.  I cut the lamb at 3¾".  Happy birthday at 1½".  The grass I cut from Straight from the Nest cart.  I used design studio to cut the grass because I wanted to make sure it would go the lenght of the bottom of the card.  I cut it at 2½" in DS.  I embossed the grass with swiss dots.  It is a 5X7 card.  Put a little bling by the Happy Birthday and I am now done with the 2nd birthday card.  I hope she likes them.  Thanks for looking.

Welcome card

Mary at Cardz TV is having a challenge for National Scrapbooking Day.  Make a layout or card using fruit.  You have till midnight May 13th to enter your project.  Boy am I glad she gave more time to get it done.  With all the contest and challenges going on over the weekend it was tough to get done what I did.  I made a pineapple card with the word welcome.  I cut the pineapple from Serenade cart at 3.5".  The welcome cut from the Cindy Loo cart at 1.5".  I used a A2 card, and I played with the white gel pen also putting some stitches and dots around.  Hope you like it.

MPS Challenge 12

This is the last challenge on My Pink Stamper.  Make a project with a kids theme.  Well since I already did one birthday layout I went on to do another for this challenge.  So I got 2 layouts done today.  I like making cards more then layouts but I need to do more layouts.  I still have lots of birthdays to scrap yet.  I used the SpongeBob cart for this layout also.

MPS Challenge 7

Here is number 7 of the http://www.mypinkstamper.com/ challenge.  Make a scrapbook page.  I have only been scraping b-day pictures.  I am so far behind so I decided to start first with birthdays.  I used the SpongeBob cart.  My kids love SpongeBob.

MPS Challenge 5

My Pink Stamper challenge 5 is any 3D item.  So here is my try at making a purse/gift bag using Tags, bags, & boxes.  It didn't turn out perfect that is for sure but it was a learning experience.  I know I am running out of steam today so I don't know if I am going to be able to get the other 7 done.  I may skip a few.

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.

MPS Challenge 3

This My Pink Stamper challenge was a breast cancer theme.  I used Gypsy Wanderings for the hope cut.  I didn't have any solid pink ribbon which I couldn't believe since I have a little girl.  I had sheer, polka dot, and stripe which I used here.  I need to put solid pink ribbon on my list.

MPS Challenge 2

The 2nd challenge is to use kraft paper.  I used the Heritage cart to make a parchment die.  Inked the edges up good to make the parchment look old.  Used a M's dollar bin stamp and stamped the word friendship on the parchment die.  I also used some flower stickers that my friend got me for Christmas in a bag of scrap goodies I got from her.  I doubt I will get to the 3rd challenge tonight.  I started late on this.

MPS Challenge 1

My Pink Stamper is having National Scrapbook Day challenges on her blog.  The 1st Challenge is to make something using a cupcake.  So I made a quick card using the Sweet Treat cart.  I cut the cupcake at 3.5".  I made the card where the top flap is tucked under the cherry.  Just bend it back slightly and the flap will pop out and you can open the card.  Here is the link for the challenge.  The Pink Stamper   She is giving away prizes.  Come join the fun!

Just a card

I made a anything goes card.  These always come in handy when you just need to stamp some kind of sentiment inside.  I had gotten a package of die cuts on clearance at Michael's.  I can't remember the brand name sorry.  I made it a A2 size card.  I inked the edge of the card with peeled paint distress ink and then went over it again with vintage photo distress ink.  I embossed the pink paper with a cuttlebug embossing folder, Birds and Swirls.  Inked the edges of that also.  I found some ribbon at Wal-Mart for a dollar a spool......what a great deal!  I added a chipboard bird cage......also from M's clearance stuff.  The tiny white bow with the flower in the middle I got at Wal-Mart for $1.27.  They were called Stylish Accents and were where the ribbon was.  A lot easier then trying to make a tiny bow like that myself.  I inked the die cut and chipboard in vintage photo.  Added some bling on the bottom and I got a card ready to go.  I have been so out of it with the rain.  It is such a downer.  I need to get busy and make some more cards...like the one I made here.  I have depleted my stash.  Time to get busy!  Hope you all have a crafty week.  

Mother's Day Card

I made a card for my mother and sister for Mother's day.  I got my inspiration from http://joy-purttypaperz.blogspot.com/  Her blog has some wonderful cards on it.  If you get a chance check her blog out it will be worth it.  I used Country Life cart to make the pitcher of flowers.  Hope you like it.

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!

Family Layout

Well layouts are not my strong point so I spent about a week putting this layout together.  The ribbon flower in the upper right hand corner is ribbon I sewed and pulled together to gather and added some pearls in the middle.  That ribbon matched that paper perfect.  Some of the flowers down in the lower left hand corner I made and some were bought.  My son said it was flower over kill but he just doesn't get it.  When you get a chance to use some of those flower you made you go for it.....LOL.  Thanks for looking!
