Happy Valentine's Day

Ok, you have to know this about me ... I'm a leave it to the last minute kind of gal!  LOL!  

Here is the card I finally settled on making for my dearest hubby ... I sat down with a totally different card in my head than this but sometimes you just gotta go with the flow ... I married my best friend almost 21 years ago (anniversary is in just a couple of weeks) and I have never regretted it even for a second!  Happily I didn't leave that to the last second ;)

Hope he likes it!

A colleague asked me to make a card for her niece's 13th birthday - she likes to play soccer so I used an old stamp set I had that had a soccer ball in it - looking at the photos though, the ball looks like a flower!  Hmmm ... oh well!  I also used the Card Chatter - Birthday and Artiste to cut 13 out (at 1-1/2" and 1-1/4") and the 1-1/4, 1-3/4 and 2 inch circles.  The 1-3/8 circles were a punch.  The easel card base was 4-1/4 x 8-1/2 and then scored at 4-1/4 and 6-3/8.  The card front was 4-1/4" square and embossed with a folder from the wedding suite set.  I added a bit of bling onto the edge of the Hip hip Hooray banner.

Have a great day!

The Boy has a Car

Well the boy has a car ... I don't know whether to be happy for him, or even more scared for me!  Oh the perils of growing up - it's way harder on the parents!   LOL!

Anyway, pulled this card together for him - hope he likes it!

It's 8-1/2 x 5-1/2" so is a big card and I used Cricut Craft Room so am not sure what size the car was cut at.  I seem to be making not standard size cards these days - not sure what that's all about!  

Have a great day!

Supplies used:

Slate ink
Cricut Father's Day cart for the car
CTMH It's Your Day for Best Day Ever
CTMH Cruisin Workshop on the Go stamp set for the background stamped on the silver paper

Gift Tag

Here's a cute little gift tag I made up - the wee mouse is from the Cricut Cartridge Winter Frolic, pg 56, cut at 2.25 and the tag is from Artiste, pg 37, cut at 4.5.

 

Have a great day!

Tea Light Snowman

Saw this on youtube this weekend so thought I'd give it a try - I love it!

Made it using the Artiste cartridge and it was so fun to make!  I used White Daisy cardstock and other miscellaneous supplies to finish him off - can't wait to pop in some battery operated tea lights in the bottom 2 layers - he's going to look so cute all lit up!

Update, here are some instructions: 

• In white, cut from Pg 56, 3 boxes sized 2.5", 2", and 1.5"
• In black, cut from Pg 56, 1 box at 1".
• Cut one 2.5" circle, in black, for the base of the hat.
• Cut one 1.25" circle for the nose and then roll it up.
• Scrap of ribbon or material for the scarf.

Have a lovely day!

Happy Anniversary!

Not mine but my parents-in-law - 56 years!  That's something you don't hear a lot!

I used Cashmere and Chocolate ink, the SOTM Baroque Borders, the sentiment is from Say It In Style, the roses from Art Philosophy, and the banner is from Artiste, cut at 1-1/4"  (pg 58 Shift-Accent 3). 

Hope they like it!

(It was hard to get a decent picture of it - trust me, it does look much better in person!)

Cheers!
