A card for my daughter

I made this card with my oldest daughter in mind. She does so much for our family that I thought I should just let her know how much we appreciate her.

I used the following cartridges: George, Freshly picked, and Storybook. I welded the storybook border to the square. I am rather pleased at how it turned out.

I will also be using the for challenge #78 from Card Patterns.

Card Patterns Sketch 77

Here is another Card Patterns Sketch.  As usual I stick pretty close to the pattern.  I personally like the clean simple look that these patterns provide.  I will add my sentiment later, as I find the perfect situation that it fits. 

The pattern paper is from DCWV Glitter Sweet stack, and  the  flower is cut at 1 1/2 from the Storybook Cartridge. 

 

Dino thank you card

Today a little boy I teach at church brought me cookies. I guess he tried to come a couple of other times this last week, but we were not home. Any way I thought what 4 1/2 year old boy doesn't want a dino thank you card. I kept it rather simple since it is for a a boy. No ribbon or other fancy stuff. After all we all know the dino is the only thing he will really notice. I plan to mail it tomorrow. I hope he enjoys getting mail as much as my children do.

Dino is from Create a critter
THANKS is from Mickey Font
Tiny bubbles cuttle bug background
Yellow A2 card
Orange, Yellow, blue, white and black paper
Clear stickles fro the eye and spots

Make a Wish Birthday Card- Card Patterns Sketch #76

Wow, I got this made the first day. I did this for Card Patterns Challenge #76 that was just released online today. Scallop border at bottom is from tag option on Sweet treats, as is all the cuts on this card. Scallop circle is from one of the flowers, circles are the flower centers. All were sized on my gypsy to fit.

Hope you enjoy.

Fall Squirrel Card for Paper Cutz Challenge

Here is the Create a critter cartridge again, this time for a cute little squirrel. I did this for challenge # 53 for Paper Cutz. The leaves and acorn are from some sizzix embossing folders I got on clearance a while ago at Custom Crops and have been wanting to use. The leaves are bigger than I would like, but I think I like them better than not. I love my acorn. I will definitely use that more often.

Summer get together card for FCCB

The watermelon is cut at 2 1/4 from Doodle Charms. The hamburger and Let's Eat is cut from Locker Talk. I did this for the Fantabulous blog summer/BBQ project.

I think I will have to use it to invite someone over to our house for a end of the summer BBQ and get together. Please leave a comment. I love any feedback.

Butterfly Card Card Patterns Sketch 75

I have only done three of this site's card patterns , but I am really loving this site. After I finished, I thought of a couple of things I would do differently, but am very happy with this one for a first run.

The paper, ribbon and ink is all close to my heart (chocolate, hollyhock, and blush).   The butterfly cut out is is cut at 1 inch from the Once upon a princess cartridge.

If you are coming from Card Pattern's website, please feel free to view the rest of my blog here. 


Feel free to share a comment.  I love comments and suggestions, so don't be afraid to leave one.

Howdy Horse Card Paper Cutz Challenge #50

Paper cutz has a western challenge. I had been wanting to make this horse for a while, so it was a great excuse to cricut away. 

Strawberry Card for Card Patterns Sketch 73 Challenge

I did my second card for Card Patterns Sketch 73 Challenge.  I was a bit nervous of this one.  I was not even sure if I liked the pattern, but after this one came together, I am rather thrilled with the layout and happy I did it.  It looks rather simple, but it has a bunch of layers.    I used Close to my heart paper for both pinks and the brown is papertrey ink.  I used the Mini Monograms & Hello Kitty Greetings cartridges.  Inked the edges and used a white gel pen for stitching.

Ice Cream Cone card

I did this ice cream cone card for a challenge on Fantabulouscricut   # 18. I just recently stumbled on this blog and will be checking them out more soon.

This is a fun card to make. It did not turn out as expected at the beginning. I just tweaked things as I went. The goal was to make it a card using Sweet treats card function. I pretty much make A2 size cards, so for met to make one that was not a rectangle was a good challenge for me. That turned out pretty easy.

The cone was not the right fit, but we made it work. The scoops were the perfect size. The flavors are mint chocolate chip, vanilla carmel swirl, and chocolate with a cherry on top. I used UTEE on the ice cream and cherry to give them a shiny look that they have would normally have. Added diamond stickles to a part of th cherry. Cuttlebug Divine Swirls on the middle scoop of ice cream and the cone I used candy cane cuttlebug. I have seen som great embossing folders for the cone, I just don't own one.

Christmas card Challenge

For Throw back Thursday on "Creative time for me" we were asked to use wild card to make a holiday card. Since I don't have it, I used Stretch your Imagination. I am also using this card for the challenge for Cardztv, as it is Christmas in July and the challenge was to use ribbon, buttons, or lace. I have a button trim from cuttlebug and ribbon. The sentiment of Merry Christmas was done by inking the cuttlebug folder and then embossing the paper.

Christmas in July #2 Winter Woodland Snowman card

Wow, this is great. Yesterday I entered my first challenge. Now a day later I am entering my second one. This has been fun, since it gives me an excuse to make cards. This one is for a "Christmas in July" challenge from Mary on Cardz TV. The only requirement was to use a snowman. I am pretty pleased with how it turned out.
