Anniversary Card for my Parents

This is Wedding Anniversary Card that I made for my parents. I used Printing 101 for the "Happy Anniversary", DS to weld them together, and Stretch Your Imagination for the Bride and Groom. I used my cuttlebug to emboss the white part and a little glitter on the Bride's Dress. They really liked the card. I found a nice saying for the inside at www.verses4cards.co.uk.

This is a great site for lots of different sayings if you are at a loss for words.

Our 2009 Christmas Card

I made a simple card this year. I used the Christmas tree from Christmas Cheer, cotton for the snow and a gold star brad for the tree topper.

My 1st Tri-Fold Card

I have to admit this was not an easy card for me to make.

I had a few bumps along the way but in the end I think it

turned out pretty. I used the Happy Birthday Cuttlebug

folder on the pink pieces and added some paper flowers

for that little extra something.

Male Birthday Card

So I know it has been a while since I posted. So here is a card that I made for a friend of my Husband. Male cards are very hard for me to do but I like the way this one turned out.

Recent Cards...

Here are a couple recent cards that I created for a few birthdays in the family last week.

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.

Miscellaneous Cards

OK - I have found that a daily blogger I am not. But when I do add a post I add a lot at once. So here we go.
My daughter's classroom had a lot of birthdays in May (including her's). I knew that buyig aard and a gift for each one would have killed the purse strings. So I found inexpensive gifts and made the cards from things I had around the craft room.
Here are a few of the cards....

New Card

My daughter got invited to a birthday party for one of her friends. We wanted to make her a special card. The invitation was Ariel so we thought that it would be a perfect fit to do an Ariel card. Inside I wrote - "Have a Swimmingly Fun Birthday".

I'm Back

Seems like forever that I have posted on my blog. I gave myself some time off since the January Card a Day Challenge. Took a long weekend trip to Florida, and of course Valentine's Day has come and gone. I have only worked on a couple of things so far this month but will start full swing again next month - as I will be making a lot of things for my daughter's 5th birthday. Wish me luck.

Here is a card that I made for a good friend of mine. It was made from DCWV Color Block Prints paper and Random flowers that I rec'd from a RAK. I used a stencil for the lettering.


Here is the treat bag we made for my daughter's Pre-K class. I used Jen Balcer's (?) tutorial on Split Coast Stampers to create the bag (2-5-7-10) and used my Cricut to cut 24 hearts using the Quantity Button (what a great function).
