Birthday Card ~ Balloon Animal (post #2)



For my second card I cut the birthday sentiment paper using my frame die.
Next I used the cute balloon animal stamp to create the background.
I added the 3x4 journal die cut behind the frame then added another balloon animal inside the frame.
I inked up the sentiments and stamped them separately for my sentiment circle then backed it with the stitched circle.
To finish off my card I added a ribbon bow.

Birthday Card ~ Pretty In Purple (post #1)

Welcome to Sunday all my bloggie buddies.
I had big plans to get into my craft room and play with my crafting goodies on Saturday but as they say the best laid plans... lol
Between fighting off this cold, being back at work and regular old life issues it just didn't happen.
I am here now creating until we go get a little something to eat...
Here is the first of my cards for today.
First I stamped the circle birthday sentiment then punched flowers using scrap design paper from my ever growing stash collection to adhere to the centers.
Next I cut out the frame and embossed it with the floral folder.
Then I added some of this pretty ribbon I won from Little Scrap Pieces (Thanks Karen!)
Next I cut the floral square to add to the center of the frame and the scalloped circle around the sentiment again using the design paper scraps.
To finish off my card I stamped the circle sentiment I used for the background on the die cut circle that comes with the scalloped one and topped it off with a punched flower.


*Card base 5.5 x 4.25 in.
*Sentiment stamp from the All Around Birthday Time Stamp Set from My Creative Time.
*Frame embossed using the Cuttlebug Bloom Dot folder.
*Ribbon from Little Scrap Pieces.
*Flower punch from EK Success.
*Scrap paper from the gcd Studios Kathy Davis Happiness paper pad.
*Memento Tuxedo Black stamp pad.
*CTMH Grape Sherbet stamp pad.
 
May your day always be filled with love.

Birthday Card ~ Flower Shop

On Wednesday I made another birthday card using this cute shop image.
I originally planned the other card to enter into the Fresh Brewed Designs challenge but totally forgot the challenge also included a sketch to follow. Whoopsy. lol.
I made extras of the image in two sizes and cut the flower pot and flowers from by the door to put in the windows to complete the flower shop look.
Next I found this glittery flower paper and ribbon in my scraps to add.
The signs in the windows come blank so I wrote Fresh Flowers and Please come in on them.
Sorry about the picture but it has been POURING down rain ALL day.
Summer is definitely over in our little part of the world. lol.

Love Card ~ Love Always (post #2)

I really liked how well the sentiment stamped on my ribbon the last time so I thought I'd try it again.
This time I wondered how it would look as an accent on my Verve scroll.
I found this ribbon that was the perfect size then stamped the Verve sentiment.
It needed a little something so I used this cute little Pink by Design heart on each end of the sentiment.
I colored up this little Bugaboo bear I got as a freebie a while back the placed him on a punched circle.
Next I stamped some hearts and punched them out with a punch from my stash.
It fit inside the punch perfectly. Gotta love that.
To finish off my card I added a little knotted twine to the corners and wa-la.

Do you have a bloggie bestie (or two)?
Someone who is there for no matter what?
Someone who leaves sweet comments regularly no matter how busy their life gets?
I do and one of them sent me a wonderful package of crafting goodies.

I used just a couple of the beautiful things she included in my happy mail to create this card.
Karon is the reason I have a blog.
Her encouragement and help in setting it up touched my heart and is something I will remember forever.
Thanks so much to my bloggie bestie Karon from Karon's Krafty Korner

Love Card ~ Xs, Os & Bows

When I saw this great checkerboard folder I just loved the mixture of the grid and distressing around the edges and thought it would look great with the edges torn.
I wanted to stick with the tic-tac-toe theme so I thought crossed ribbon would work.
I wanted to try stamping the sentiment on the ribbon for a different look.
I went through one of my punch drawers and found the heart, the bow, and the X & O to add.

*Card base 5.5 x 4.25 in.
*Card front embossed using the Checkerboard folder from the Sizzix Checkerboard & Cracked Texture Fades set.

Love Card ~ Hugs & Kisses

Hello bloggy friends.
After a small nap (okay it was 4 hours) I was able to fit in a card tonight.
I found this cute typewriter embossing folder this summer at Hobby Lobby while on vacation.
We do not have a HL in our state so going there is a must whenever we are close to one.
I sponged the letters l, o,  v, & e with red ink to create a special background for my card front.
Next I punched out the double hearts then fussy cut around them to form a linked heart accent.
I used sentiment stamps from two stamp sets and framed them with my mini bookplate frames.

*Card base 5.5 x 4.25 in.
*Card front embossed using the A2 Typewriter Alphabet folder from The Paper Studio.
*Floral frame from the Mini Bookplate Die Set from Verve Stamps.
*My heart is yours sentiment from the Small Phrases from Verve Stamps.
*Sentiment from the Lunchbox Notes stamp set from Pink by Design.
*CTMH Real Red stamp pad.
*Heart punch from EK Success.
May your day always be filled with love.
Hugs,

Thank You Card ~ Tic-Tac-Flower (post #2)

First I started with one of my floral oval stamps then cut it out using the smaller of my mini bookplate dies.

Thank You Card ~ Autumn Fun (post #2)

I made this card using almost all scraps from my growing scrap pile.
I have this {bad} habit of pushing my scraps off to the side of my table then putting them into assorted baggies I have hanging around instead of putting them into the folders I have for each scrap color.
(See the photos at the bottom of this post. tee hee hee)
Well in my defense I would have to use my limited crafting time to reorganize my scraps. lol
The only part of my card that is not made from scraps is the card base unless you take into account that it was what was left over when I cut a base for another card.
hmmm that just might count...


*Card base 5.5 x 4.25 in.
*Rectangles cut at 1-5/8 x 1-1/4 attached to the card front then embossed using the Sizzix Botanical Swirl folder.
*Sentiment scroll from the Scroll Die from Verve Stamps.
*Sentiment from the So Happy stamp set from Verve Stamps.
*Leaf cuts from a Martha Stewart punch.
*Pumpkin stamp from (unknown).
*Stazon Timber Brown stamp pad.
*Ribbon from my stash.

Bulletin Board ~ Teddy Goodness (post #1)

I had another fun week at school...
Our kindergarten classes didn't start until this week so our newest kiddos just started Monday.
Since we are still assessing the whole school and use that info (and classroom teacher input of course) to form the support groups I teach I was available to help out in the kindergarten classrooms.
The class sizes are bigger this year with 30 and 31 kiddos. Just getting them all through the bathrooms is an adventure. lol.
Here are some bears I made for one of my bulletin boards.
I combined them with some creations from past boards to create this one.
I'm going to add a few fall leaves scattered around to fill some of the empty air space.




*Bears cut at 10 in. from the Cricut Teddy Bear Parade cartridge.
*Birds cut from the Cricut 3 Birds on Parade cartridge. (not sure of their size)
*Pencils cut at 3 in. from the Cricut Locker Talk cartridge
*Cedar Mill Students cut at 2 in. from the Cricut Kate's ABCs cartridge.
*R cut at 3 in. from the Cricut Birthday Bash cartridge.
*o cut at 3 in. from the Cricut Cursive 101 cartridge.
*c cut at 3 in. from the Cricut Nifty Fifties cartridge.
*k cut at 3 in. from the Cricut Life of the Party cartridge.
