Have a Sunny Day

HI everyone, Today I have my post for the Just-a-scrappin challenge blog. The challenge was to use embossing and a "quilt" style. I wasn't sure about the quilt style but I really like what I was able to come up with.

 

Isn't cute? When I have some time, I will make a video to show you what I did. Paper Trey Ink sells a cutting plate that makes this hexagon pattern and I used the cutout as a template which I placed over white paper. Then I used the coordinating stamp set in different colors - yellow, pink, rose red and red to create the pattern. The stamp set for the sentiment is from Pink by Design. The sun is from Create a Critter and is cut at 3.0. I used some stickles around the sun rays because I thought it needed some bling. The base cardstock is pink and is embossed with the swiss dots folder.

 

 

This is a super fun technique and I think it creates some really fun cards! I will most definitely be using this again. Be sure to visit the challenge blog to join the challenge.

 

Thanks for visting.

With Sympathy

I think that these are my least favorite cards to make and I generally never have any on hand. This card was made for my cousin's father-in-law who passed away. He had been ill for awhile so it wasn't unexpected but still very sad. I looked through my collection of cuttlebug folders and decided on this one ( I don't know the name, why doesn't Provocraft label these?) and embossed the entire front of a plain white A2 card. I had this plum dp in my stash and cut out a butterfly with my SU sizzlets and stamped the Papertrey ink sentiment in a coordinating color. I think that it turned out very elegant and simple which was the look that I was going for.

Disney Mini Album

Hi everyone, I am here today to share a Christmas present that I made for my mom. It was based on the Retro mini album tutorial from Kathy Orta at Paper Phenomenon.

It took awhile to make, close to 40 hours or so to make. I cut a ton of Disney so you know that took a while. I hope that you enjoy it!

 

Hope that you enjoy it!

Snowman thank you

Hi everyone, Today I have my project for the Just-a-Scrappin challenge blog. The challenge was to make a project using a snowman, buttons and ribbon.

 

 

This is the last card using this retired SU paper. The cut is from Winter Frolic cut at 3.5 and the mat is also cut at 3.5 from Elegant Edges. I did some embossing with my swiss dots embossing folder and used glitter stickles on the snowman to indicate snow. The buttons are from SU and I think they add a nice touch. The sentiment is from Paper Trey Ink and I used this card for a winter thank you card.

Yummy!

Hi everyone, Today's card is fun! I am using the Fast Food cartridge. I love the Cricut lites, they cut great and layer so easily, plus the images are super cute. It's a holiday weekend for us so I hope to get some crafting done. My step daughter is getting her wisdom teeth removed so I am in charge of getting her to and from the hospital so that part will not be fun. Be sure to watch the video to get the recipe and see how it all gets put together.

Enjoy!

Snowflake Thank You

Hi everyone, Today's card is for the Just-a-Scrappin challenge blog. The challenge this week is to create a snowflake card, using lots of bling.

 

I used silver glitter paper to cut this snowflake out from the CTMH cartridge (Artiste?) at 3.5. I also used a green gliter brad from SU. The ribbon is sheer white from SU and the paper is retired SU and I think that I finally used it all up. Yes! I love when I used up old stuff and this paper is probably 5 years old. I also used this card for a thank you card!

Wild About You

Hi everyone, First, I want to show you guys the project for today. Be sure to watch the video to get the recipe and see how it all gets put together.

 

 

One of my Youtube subscribers kindly reminded me that this cut is from Live Simply.

 

Now onto the New Year's Resolutions. I usually have the same ones and pretty much break them around spring time!

 

The first is to use my stash. This I mean! For real! We just booked (a very expensive!) Hawaiian vacation for the summer. So I got to cut back which means that at some point, I will probably go crazy and buy everything I want and more. I did make my resolution to do videos and to grow my blog so I will continue to work on those goals. I want to better my body - so eat better and lose some weight and better my mind - read more! Do any of you have some goals for the new year?

 

Leave a comment here and I will be giving away a prize package - I got tons of 6x6 paper pads and stamps so it will a collection of these items - whatever fits in the envelope! So leave a comment here and I will select a winner on January 21.

Snow Boy Thank You

Hi everyone, Today is my post for the Just-a-Scrappin challenge blog. The challenge this week is to use a new technique or style. I have been collecting mist sprays for awhile but have yet to use one. So I used October Afternoon's sprinklers on my mat in this minty green color.

My snow boy is cut at 3.5 from the Winter Frolic cartridge. I also used retired SU Christmas paper from my stash. I don't think the paper has a name it was in a scrappin pack from SU. I tied off a little red twine in a red button and used a sentiment from Paper Trey Ink. I used this card for a thank you card.

I really enjoyed the mist. It made a smaller mess than I thought and it took a small amount of time to dry. If you haven't used these sprays be for, I encourage you all to give it a try.

Tree thank you

Hi everyone, I have a winter Christmas card for you all. It's a good way to use up extra Christmas cuts and Christmas paper. I don't know about you but I always have lots of Christmas paper to use up and I like to use up as much as I can because I know that there will be a cuter stuff that comes out that I want!

 

I used retired SU paper. I think its called Ski Slope. I have had for about two years so I really need to use it up. The tree is from Winter Woodland (I think?). I used silver glimmer paper to cut out the snow which is my new favorite thing. The sentiment is from Paper Trey Ink and the the mat is cut at 3.75 from Elegant Edges. I used this card as a thank you card.

I Hope You Dance

Hi everyone, Its back to the grindstone (work!) today. I have a cute card for you today!

I used an old Basic Gray paper pad. The cut is from the Twinkle Toes Cricut Cartridge, cut at 3.25 and the mat is cut from Elegant Edges at 3.25. I doodled with my white gel pen and the face is stamped with Peachy Keen stamps. The sentiment is from Pink by Design. I think she turned out very cute and would be a great card for one of my daughter's dance teachers.

Thanks so much for visiting today.
