Birthday Card

Here is a quick card I've put together for a birthday. Its pretty quick and easy to make!


I have mentioned this before in another post - but I'm loving the Studio G card and envelope sets from Michael's. But I love them mostly because they are only $1. :)



I used the Sweet Treats Cricut Cartridge to cut the piece of cake on the card. I don't remember the exact size of the cut but I believe its around 1 1/4" or 1 1/2". Before I adhered the piece of cake I cut out a dark blue mat to put behind the hole in the card. I think it helps make the piece of cake "pop".


I ran the front of the card through my Cuttlebug using the Happy Birthday embossing folder.


I also ran a white color box ink pad over the raise portion of the embossed image to give it a more highlighted look.


Thanks for looking!!

Happy crafting!

Wool You Be Mine? Valentine Card

Hey everyone! I thought I'd share with you a quick little Valentines card I made for a family member! My inspiration came from P-Kay Sunshine Creations as she was mentioned on the Cricut Chirp this week! I saw these cards and had to make one for myself.







I know I've already posted about this... but I'll say it again... I love the Studio G $1 card and envelope sets from Michael's! This specific set worked great because it was pink and it was cut like a gate card! I love it!



The top heart border was cut from a Recollections border punch I bought on sale at Michael's. I really like this one because on the bottom of it there is a little cover that catches your scraps that fall while you cut. It keeps your workspace a little cleaner, which is always a plus for me!




I layered a piece of patterned paper just below the border punch.

The lamb is cut from Create A Critter and she is complete with Stickles on her bows! =)




The sentiment (as scrap-lifted by P-Kay Sunshine's blog) is computer generated.





Thanks for stopping by!!

Happy crafting!!

Get Whale Soon Card

Hey everyone! I just wanted to share a quick card with you.

My DH's grandma has been feeling under the weather lately and I thought I'd send her a card to cheer her up.

The whale was from the Create-A-Critter Cricut cartridge.




Something I have become very fond of is the Studio G cards with matching envelopes. I get them at my local M's in the $1 bin. They come in lots of colors and styles. I like these better than using regular card stock as the base of a card for a couple of reasons, 1.) it lets me have more "sturdy" writing capabilities and 2.) I don't have to worry about putting an insert for writing notes in a card with a dark base. Even if I have a card with a color I'm not crazy about, I can cover it completely with my own card stock to hide it. They are very versatile! -And did I mention they are only $1??!! :)


I used the bow from the porcupine on the whale. Gotta love her!! :) Oh and don't forget the stickles!!


Because I don't have super good white ink pads, I used wet embossing on this My Pink Stamper stamp. For this I used a Versa Mark Ink Pad, White Embossing powder and my heat gun.



Thanks for taking the time to check this out!

As always, happy crafting!!
