More Cards....

My husband asked me to make a Thank You card for a resident at the apt complex he works because she brought the whole staff lunch on Monday. So I thought this would be a great time to try to Joy fold card. I should have made it a bit bigger than the instructions but it was just fine.

Thank you to Beate Johns from splitcoaststampers for her tutorial. Now to try to figure the dimensions to make it a bigger card HMMM....

Here is a card that I made for my DD to give to my Dad. I got the idea from ShellyWorld from the PAF forum. **Thanks a bunch**.

I have to admit I thought that it was a bigger card than it turned out to be - those pesky cameras LOL. Anyway - my dad liked it and still has it displayed.

Father's Day Cards

Here are just a few of the cards that I made this year for Father's Day. I created 5 so far but only took pics of 3. I hope all the Fathers in my family have a GREAT day.

First is a card that made to give to my husband. He is handy with tools and just finished building our storage shed so I thought that this would be perfect. I downloaded the cut file from Ruelysi (Thank you). But I ended up doing this from the downloaded pdf files from melstampz.blogspot.com. (Thank you too). I altered it to be a card instead of a "belt bag". I used tool diecuts left over from my CM stash. The inside says "You build the foundation to our family"

Second is a card I made for my dad for my husband and me to give him. I used the waterfall tutorial from Kathy Logan at Splitcoaststampers to create it (Thank you). It took me some time to figure it out but I did and I love the card. The background paper is DCWV and the 4 sayings are "A Father, Listens with is heart, Speaks with Hugs, Teaches by Example." Hope he likes it.

Lastly is a card that my daughter will be giving her daddy. She wanted to make him a softball themed card so we found big baseball stickers WM, I hand cut the field, mounted it to some baseball saying background paper, cut DAD from PS and that was it. Pretty simple but I think he will love it since he plays softball for a team at work. The inside says "You're a homerun hit out of the park" She is so excited to give it to him. Thank for looking at my creations.

My daughter has a party to go to today and the little girl is a Flamingo fan. Thanks to Laurinda from the Cricut Message board for her cut file. Here are the things I made her....

I bought a cheap towel from WM and used the Freezer Paper Method to add the flamingos and her name. I used fabric paint from the WM craft dept. I didn't quite make them even but I think it turned out pretty good.

This is a 4x4 card with simple paper and the same flamingo cut except I added the wing and used a pop dot to make it stand out.

I hope her friend likes it.

Wonder Woman Birthday Card

My daughter had a bday party to go to and the little girl is a big Super Hero Fan. I didn't know how to make a Spiderman or Batman so I found a Wonder Woman made karen-p from the cricut.com PDDU forum and used that as inspiration for a Girl Super Hero Card.

Wanted to Share...

It has been such a pleasure for me to be able to download CDS files from others that I wanted to add one for everyone to download from me. So here is the cut file for my banner flags that I created for my daughter's birthday banner. I used GBS for it. You can get 2 flags from one sheet of 12x12 paper. I hope everyone enjoys it.

Here is the link to my file :

Here is a screen shot of what it looks like.

More Decorations from my Daughter's Party

I created these with the HEA and DCT cartridges. They are cut at 4.5" - 5". I used them to hag from the top of the canopy. They were laminated so that the humidity didn't wrinkle them.
