Square Frame Card

Saw this card on Pinterest and HAD to make my version of it!

Sunflowers are from the new Flower Market Cricut cartridge.  Woodgrain paper from retired Timberline. 'Congrats' from retired Congrats Grad and 'on your Retirement' is from C1660 Happy for You.


'Happy Birthday' is from M1144 Bitty Birthday (retired) and Swiss Dots embossing folder.


Made this one first but thought it wasn't masculine enough for a male colleague that recently retired.  


Have a fabulous day!

What a fun day was had ...

Recently had a few of the ladies over and we had some fun ... using Ornate Blossoms  stamps and Thin Cuts from the Seasonal Expressions 2 (retires August 31st - do not wait until the end, things will start selling out the closer that date gets) and a white gel pen to colour on Kraft paper ... 

This was mine (inspired from Pinterest I think, will link when I find it again) ...

 

and then, because it is more fun to make it your own way, this was RW's ...

 

and this was CB's ...


Lots of great creations :)

Have a great day!

You Have an Awesome ...

This was a fun card that I got to make at a recent CTMH event, held at the end of April in Vancouver.  A van-full of us went over to Richmond and spent the day having fun & learning with the other consultants and also getting to know each other better as well - a day well spent!  I'll post some of the other projects from the event in future posts.

Gosh look at that, end of May!  Yikes!

Anyway, as soon as I saw the flamingo's in the new Seasonal Expressions 2 catalogue - I simply had to have them!

Here is my first card (and it won't be my last!)

Happy Retirement!

Sure wish it was me but my turn will eventually come ... in the meantime I get to make some fun cards in whatever time I can get in!  

This one uses the stamp set Happy Times which is only available for the month of May!  I don't usually go for the flower stamp sets but I'm lovin' this one so far!  And better news, it comes with a complimentary paper pack which is gorgeous!  You can get it for free with a qualifying $70 order or for $17.75 to purchase outright.  The stamp set is $21.25 and is a not to miss set!

Regatta I Just Love Card

Loved this card when I saw it so of course had to make it ... it is part of the Regatta Workshop Your Way, using the Regatta paper, My Anchor stamp set and My Anchor Thin Cuts ... all set to retire this month  :(  I love this set and papers and am sorry to see them go.

I also used mini-glue dots to attach the White/Gold Ribbon and 3D foam tape to attach the large heart to the card.  Inks used:  Pomegranate, Flaxen and Sapphire. All CTMH except for the red paper.


I can see using this layout with other papers and stamp sets in the future!

Have a great day!

Out of All the Mom's in the World ...

The beginnings of a project ... using Memento Black Ink, Ruby ink, Honey ink, Liquid Glass, B1509 My Mother (retiring Apr 30th) ... haven't worked out the final use yet but I love how this is turning out!  I also used our wonderful Daubers to apply the colour to the flowers.


Have a wonderful day!

Beloved Bouquet Happy Birthday

I used the January Stamp of the Month, Beloved Bouquet (retired) for this card.


The 'Happy Birthday' is from the May Stamp of the Month Celebrate with Cake so you are getting a tiny sneak peek!

I used various reds and greens and forgot to write them down ... I did just put away Topiary and Pear, Ruby, Pomegranate and Pixie so I strongly suspect that's what I used.  I propped up a couple of the flowers with 3D Foam tape.

Hope you managed to snag this set when it was available!

Have a wonderful day!

Ok I Love Love Love this layout, using the April SOTM so I had to CASE it - I will add picture(s) to it later - haven't decided if I'll add small pictures yet but in the meantime, this will work for one 4x6 photo.  As many of you know, I'm not a huge scrap booker but this came together so quickly!  If I can do it, anyone can!  LOL!

If you want this amazing stamp set, don't forget it's only available until Apr 30th so don't miss out.  I can see that I'm gonna have some fun with this set! I also used Memento Black ink, 3D foam tape, Artiste cartridge (Design Space), White Daisy Cardstock.





Have an amazing day!

Share the Love

This is another card that I found somewhere (will update when I find it again!) that I cased and it was very clean and simple to do.

I changed it up a bit by putting an 8x4" piece of white cardstock in backwards so that the card opening is from the inside, rather than the outside.  I liked that better than a simple piece of white cardstock which really doesn't give one anywhere to write!

Anyway, the phone booth card is from Artfully Sent, one of our wonderful Cricut cartridges.

The phone and "hello" are from the Share the Love stamp set (only available this month, $7 of which goes to the Operation Smile charity).



Products Used:

Share the Love stamp set
White cardstock cut at 8x4, scored at 4", attached so that opening is towards the inside


Have a wonderful day!

I Donut Know What I'd Do Without You

Hello!

This card was totally cased/inspired from here, by a fellow consultant Lori Scott using the Charlotte papers - loved it!



Stamp 3 donuts on the white (leave about an inch or so at the bottom of the paper (will be using to stamp the sentiment on) - white (5-1/2x4-1/4"), using Memento Black ink.

Rub Sorbet ink and Champagne ink into the 'icing' of donut, using sponges, leave one white - fussy cut out - then punch out centre with 1/2" circle punch



Stamp 3 donuts onto Kraft paper, punch out with 1-3/4" circle punch.


Colour 'sprinkles' with ShinHan markers YR24, B262, R11

Stamp sentiment on back and bottom of white piece and cut at 1" - dovetail end
Attach pieces to card base, add silver shimmer trim and foam tape one of the donuts on top.

This is the stamp set used, Treats of Friendship, love it!


Have a marvelous day!
