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!

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!

Glittermania!

I made this card for the glittermania challenge at Cooking With Cricut because I love glitter! Well, I especially love stickles! The cardstock is from K and Company. I used the sweethearts cartridge for the cricut cut, but I flipped it the other direction on my gypsy. The sentiment is from My Pink Stamper's Everyday Life set. I used Icicle stickles, and the gems were from Michael's. Thanks for looking!

Finally!

I have had a very productive weekend, although it was slightly frustrating. We had decided to move my crafty space to a room of its own that wasn't getting very much use from my children. Previously I had my stuff on one side of their playroom. But, the boys wanted to claim that side as their own since their sister has kind of overtaken the other half. Anyway, we spent most of Saturday carrying things up and down the stairs to get everything switched around. Once we were done (mostly) I just had to make a card! I got it all designed in my gypsy, loaded my the paper onto my mat and then disaster struck. I got an error message that said my gypsy detected a security breach and I would have to contact provocraft support. Of course this was Saturday, and they only have office hours during the week. I was so sad. So after waiting on hold for almost an hour today and reformatting my gypsy this afternoon, I was finally able to cut out my card!

Here is the inside:

I used printed cardstock from K and Company. The rest of the cardstock is from Creative Memories, including the pre-embossed green one. The card and all of the cricut cuts were from the Just because cartridge and the Straight from the Nest cartridge. I stamped the sentiment using My Pink Stamper's tweetie hoo puns 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!
