Bought some new Magnolia Stamps so have been having fun creating some cards. I made the flowers myself. I started with some flower shapes cut with my cricut. I inked them with CTMH Majestic Mountain ink and then used a toothpick to shape them the way I wanted.
This card is for a baby shower for my nephew and his wife. They are expecting a boy in a couple of months. The image is a digital download from KLM Designs. They have some great digital images for cards and other projects. I used a Fiskars embossing plate in my Cuttlebug to emboss the white paper. I had to experiment with different arrangements of the plates to get the best embossing. This is my Cuttlebug "sandwich" for the Fiskars plates: Cuttlebug base plate, then the rubber mat, next the paper, the texture plate and then the Cuttlebug C plate. I ran it back and forth through the cuttlebug a few times as well.
I loved sketch #86 from Sketch Saturday so much that I had to give it another try. Gave me a chance to use up some more of my scrap paper too.
I just love these pictures of my sons with my Grandmother. These pictures were taken 4 years ago for her 90th birthday. We will be celebrating her 94th birthday next week!!!! I kept this layout simple so the pictures would stand out. I had more embellishments cut and ready to attach to the page but decided not to use them. I had a hard time picking papers for this layout since there are so many different colors in the pictures. I chose soft and femine papers but used a denim print for the background to go along with my son's jacket. I used a Martha Stewart border punch on the green paper.
I am really excited about how this card turned out. I just love everything about it. I am sending this card to a friend who just had her first grandchild. What fun!!! I used the Sketch Saturday sketch #86 for this card. All the papers came from my scrap stash so I am working my way through my stash. The flowers are Primas that Michaels had on clearance last week. Managed to snag several jars for 50 cents each.
My BIL will be celebrating his 50th birthday tomorrow. He is our local sherriff so I thought this card would be just perfect for him. The card is very large. It measures 9x6 inches. A friend gave me a box full of cards from a local greeting card company that all had music modules inside. I decided to save time on this card and not take out the module but instead just layer my card on top of the existing card. The music module plays "Fun, Fun, Fun" by the Beach boys. The face is from the Too Much Fun assortment from Peachy Keen Stamps. The word sexy is stamped using alpha stamps from My Sentiments Exactly.
When I found this image it reminded me of my two boys. That is before my youngest started growing his hair! This is just a simple quick card that I made to send to my Grandmother. I used copics to color in the image. The phrase Hugs and Kisses is from the Sweethearts Cricut cartridge. The red background shape is cut from the A Child's Year cricut cartridge.
I used sketch #85 from Sketch Saturday. The best thing about this card is that I was able to use items from my stash as well as scraps. All the paper is from my scrap stash and the dimensional stickers were the last three on the sheet. The sentiment is also a sticker that I found in my drawer. I found this picture when I did a search for free Precious Moments coloring pages. Thought it would be a great change from winter projects. I am still practicing with my copics but I am pleased with how she turned out.
This is a very simple candy bar wrapper I made so my nephew would have a gift from us instead of just money for Christmas. The snowman is from the Snow Friends Cricut cartridge. I forgot to write down cut sizes for this project. I added a pom pom for the hat and the face is from the peachykeen stamps winter face assortment.
I made this card for a very special person in my life!! I used the card feature on the Hello Kitty Greetings cricut cartridge so it was a pretty easy card to make. I believe it was cut at 6 inches. I used clear stickles on the cake for some added bling.
Made this birthday card for a friend. I started with sketch #84 from Sketch Saturday. The stamped image is Tilda with a Birthday Cake. I colored her in with copics. Need to practice some more especially with the hair but I think she turned out cute. I cut another birthday cake out and attached it using pop dots for some more dimension.
