It's Your Bird-day!

Today is my Grandma's 84th birthday. My daughter and I made this card for her to celebrate. She did all of the embossing with my cuttlebug. She chose to use the divine swirl, spots & dots and swiss dots folders. The cardstock is from Hobby Lobby. The sentiment is from My Pink Stamper's Tweetie Hoo Puns set. We added a gem that I picked up at Michaels, and I used a little bit of stickles on the party hat. The cricut cut is from the Once Upon a Princess cartridge. Thanks for looking!

Whale Done!

I made this card tonight while I was playing around in my craft room. The cardstock is all stuff from Creative Memories. The whale and the sun are both on the Create a Critter cartridge. I used three cuttlebug folders:  divine swirl, swiss dots and spots & dots. The sentiment is another cute stamp from Scrappy Mom's Amusing Animals set. Thanks for looking!

Monday Morning

I was playing around with the Simply Charmed cartridge last night and finished this card this morning. I used patterned paper from Wal-mart and cardstock from Hobby Lobby. The ribbon and brads came from Hobby Lobby. I used my spots & dots and heart blocks cuttlebug folders. The sentiment is from Scrappy Mom's Amusing Animals stamp set, which I love! I added stickles to the little bugs cheeks and randomly to the hearts on the patterned paper. Thanks so much for looking! Have a blessed day!

A Gift Box

I made this gift box for my nephew's birthday party tomorrow. I have never made one before, so I decided to give it a shot. I used my Martha Stewart scoring board to make a 6"x6"x3" box and lid. I used K and Company cardstock for the lid and stuff from Creative Memories for everything else. The birthday cake and the sentiment were all from the Simply Charmed cartridge. I used divine swirls and swiss dot embossing folders to add some dimension. Thanks for looking!

My Pink Stamper's Blog Hop

I made this card for the first ever My Pink Stamper blog hop. 

I used cardstock from Creative Memories. The cricut cut was from the Create a Critter cartridge. I inked the edges and the sentiment with Tim Holtz distress inks. The cuttlebug folders that I used were swiss dots and divine swirl. The sentiment is from My Pink Stamper's Everyday Life set. I used icicle stickles on the cherry, and I popped up the cupcake and the cherry with pop dots. Thanks so much for looking!

My Daughter's First Card

My seven-year old daughter just made this card (with just a little bit of help from me) for her best friend! She is going to add a picture, but we left that off for now because she wanted to post it on my blog. She used cardstock from Die Cuts With a View All Dressed Up mat stack. We used the Hannah Montana cartridge for the letters, and she used the heart blocks cuttlebug folder. Thanks for looking!

Scrappy Moms Terrific Tuesday Challenge

I saw a really fun challenge today at Scrappy Moms and since I just received my Birthday Bash cartridge, I thought I would join in the fun! The challenge was to use Birthday Bash if you had it (or a similar cut if you don't have that cartridge). All of my cuts were from that cartridge, including the card. I embossed the red layer with my spots and dots cuttlebug folder. All of my cardstock is from Creative Memories. I popped up the elephant and used quite a bit of icicle stickles. The sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Designers Choice set. Thanks for looking!

A quick Valentine's Card

I made this card using cardstock from K and Company and Creative Memories. The hearts were cricut cuts from the sweethearts cartridge. It's hard to tell but I stickled a few of the hearts on the background cardstock. I also embossed the white heart with my cuttlebug, but I think it is impossible to see in the picture. Sorry. The stamp is in Scrappy Mom's Amusing Animals set. Thanks for looking!

More Than Favors Wacky Wednesday Color Challenge

Okay, I couldn't sleep last night so I was dreaming up what I could do with this challenge at More Than Favors. But have you ever had such a difficult time accomplishing what in your head seemed to be such a fairly simple thing? Oh my goodness, this card gave me fits today. I just couldn't make it work the way I wanted it to, but here it is in a drastically different form from what I planned. My kids and I decided that we liked it when it was finished, but was it worth the headache? I don't know! : )

I used cardstock, ribbon, and brads from Hobby Lobby. I cut the butterfly with my brand-new Storybook cartridge. I used my cuttlebug to add some dimension, and the sentiment is from My Pink Stamper's Everyday Life set. Thanks so much for looking!

Another card

I have lots of occasions to celebrate this month, which is keeping me very busy in my crafty space! Yeaaa!!! I made this card because my friend just had a new baby. I used coredinations paper, some scrappy cat paper and cardstock from Hobby Lobby. I sanded the coredinations paper after I put it through my cuttlebug. The cricut cuts were from 3 Birds on Parade. The sentiment is from My Pink Stamper's tweetie hoo puns set, and I used icicle stickles. Thanks so much for looking! Enjoy the rest of your day!
