Hi everyone!
I made this for a challenge for my friend Amy! Her favorite colors are pink, purple, & red I needed to use her youtube name on it. I had fun with some down times. I love it but I wasnt sure about it before!
I created everything from scratch w/ the help of my beloved cricut.

Any suggestions on how to send it in the mail?

Butterfly card

Hi Everyone!
I made this card from a small pack of notecards from the $ aisle at Michaels. I love Michaels!
I thought it was a great card it just needed some spicing up! (Plainsville)
So I was playing around and came up with this lovely card.....

Card
Create a Critter (CC): Green cardstock: 1 1/2"
                                     Aqua cardstock: 1 1/2"
                                     Light purple cardstock (Lilac): 1 1/2"
Formal Occassions (CC): Gray cardstock: 2 3/4"
                                          Black cardstock: 2 3/4"

I used D'vine swirls embossing folder on the black cardstock.
Sentiment from Pink Stamper "Buggie Punnies" " Fluttering by to say hi"
I love her stamps! If I found more I would love to have them!
The card was purplem and silver houndstooth pattern. It was plenty shiny!
Hope you all enjoy!

Bee card

Hey Everyone!
I made this card from a pack of notecards I got at arget in the $ aisle. They were just little white cards with yellow flowers. I thought they were a bit boring so I started playing around with my cricut and this is what I cam up with......

 

 

I loved this stamp from the pink stamper "buggie punnies" and I was so happy I found an excuse to use it! (High quality clear stamps, they are all discontinued because she is takinga break) I would like all of her stamps, but I cant have it all so for right now I am satisfied with the couple I have.

Bees love flowers!

Card
Create a Critter (CC): Yellow cardstock: 3"
                                    Black cardstock: 3" (and cut out a shadow)
                                     White glitter paper: 3"

Stamped the sentiment "Your the bee's knees" with black on white cardstock and cut it out with scalloped scisors. Put black stickles on the stinger and the attenaes.
Love how this turned out and I loved doing it!
Hope you enjoy!

Sea Creature ATC

Hi everyone!

 

This was so much fun to make and I feel it turned out so beautiful. I dont want to give it up for an ATC swap, but I guess I am going to have to make one for myself!

 

Sea Creature ATC

 Create a critter (CC): Grass 3 different shades of green: 2 1/2"

     :See floor Orange shades: 3"

: Scallop in Teal Blue: 1/2"

: Starfish inLight pink: 3/4"

Lifes a beach (CC): Seahorse: Yellow: 2 3/4"

                                                  Orange: 2 3/4"

Seaweed: 3 different shades of green: 2 1/2" and 2 3/4"

Used D'vine swirls to emboss the background and 3 different shades of blue ink. I distressed all the edges with the black fluid chalk ink plus the edges of the scallop and the starfish and the floor, and rubbed a tiny bit of the blackon the floor. I used the swiss dots embossing folder on the top layer of the horse and dabbed an orange ink on top to bring out the dots.

 

I loved doing this one and it came out fantastic! Dove I think you may love this one!

I hope you all enjoy this and it inspires you all!

 

 

 

ATC- Artist trading card: A card the siz of a baseball card (2.5"x3.5") and artists decrate them how they wish to, usually there is a theme like this one!

tie and rose bookmarks

These are so cute yet they got on my nerves. I made 11 of the shirts w/ the ties and I made all the ties different. Yep thats what made the project so stressful plus what added to it was the flip button was on so I had to redo all the ties. I made 10 of the roses.
I really like how they turned out!!

 

Ties

Base- white cardstock: simply charmed (CC), shirt tie: 2 1/2"

 

Roses

Base- Green cardstock: Hannah Monana (CC): 1 1/2"

 

All the roses are green base with different color edging. Pink. Purple, Turqoise, Orange and Yellow

 I distressed them a bit with a shade darker than the edges and a bit more concentration in the middle!

Even though I have complained these were a ton of fun to make. I was so pround of acmplishing them all so well!

 

 

Elder thank you cards

Woo hoo! I finally finished all 12 of my thank you cards. How did something so simple turn out so stressful. They just wouldnt get done. I love how they turned out, but Im even happier that their finished! Have you ever had a project like that?

 

Cards

(12)
Base- White cardstock: 7"x10"
            Formal ocassions (CC): Black cardstock: 5 1/2"
            Create a critter (CC), lamb:                          4"

White stich marks around the black filigree box was the whit sharpie paint pen. I used the colors that the image in the book has. Black for the bottom layer and gra gor the middle layer. I ran out of plaing gray so I used a gray pattern paper that had black and white swirls on it. For the wool I used a plain white cardstock and I embosed them with the cuttlebug folder D'vine swirls, and I used my color box blackbird fluid chalk inkpad and I ran it all over the edges and a little bit on top. I like the distressed look! Used little dots od the Icicle stickles for the eyes. I am really had that the turned out great!

Simpathy Card

                                             

 My good friend told me the other day that her Grandfather died. I wanted to write her and her Grandmother a card that would tell them I am thinking of them, so I made 2 similar simpathy cards but both said something different.

Cards

Card-             Lifes a party (Cricut Cartridge): Blue pastel paper: 5 1/2"
Card Layer-  "                   "-                                    Yellow Pastel paper: 5"

I was unable to just do the one layer, so I had to cut out the card again and cut in half.

Tree

Simply charmed (Cricut Cartridge): Plain black cardstock by cricut: 3 1/2"
                                                           Brown paper:                              3 1/2"
                                                           Green cardstock by cricut:         3 1/2"

Was a light brown linen looking paper, didnt look to wood like, cut out the image then I embossed it w/ my D'vine swirls cuddlebug folder and used me black fluid chalk ink and rubed all the embossing. Came out to be a really nice bark looking finish. Black was just for a sturdy back, can't see it.

Hope you enjoy what I have created and that it inspires you!
