Snowflake Ornaments




So I had a wonderful weekend of craft time. I had the chance to take a class taught by my bestie (she teaches the best classes!!) on Saturday and had so much fun! She taught us how to make these beautiful snowflake ornaments (no cricut...GASP!!) using a Nestabilities die-cut. The blue one is the one I made in class - the white and red one I made at home on my own. I think I am going to make several in green and white and put them in my front window for the Holiday Season....Thanks for looking and thanks Randi for the fun class!

Waterfall Card


This was my first try at a waterfall card and I am quite happy with it! I watched several videos on how to make them and took the best of all the videos (at least what I thought was the best LOL). I used an old DCWV stack and some fab leaf brads that I have been trying to figure out what to use on. I cut the leafs on the cricut ( I used Gypsy Wanderings and Don Juan) and an old stamp set from Michaels. Thanks for looking...have a great week!!

Halloween Card #6


This little guy is so cute...how could he be scary???? I used a Cuttlebug folder on the background (love the pop of pink behind him) and some googly eyes to give him an even cuter face. I just love this cart...most of the cards I left blank inside (or just added a border of drippy goo) but this one was calling out for the caption. DCWV paper packs, this year and last years. I used a punch from last year on the edge of the envelope, I thought it gave it a little pop. TFL

Halloween Card #5


This card was made using Stretch Your Imagination. I am not too sure about this one, but I am sharing it with all of you. I used three different orange glitter papers and a Bazill Orange paper for the base. It is VERY orange...but I kind of like it. TFL

Halloween Card #4


This is my take on Robyn from My Pink Stamper 'too cute to spook'. She is just so cute...I used stickles and the MS drippy goo punch. I pop of black ribbon and the My Pink Stamper Stamp. Again I used the DCWV paper, last years for the envelope lining.

Halloween Card #3



I used the sign post towards the back of the Mini-Monsters for this one. It has a lot of SMALL cuts, but I think it came out pretty cool. I used a ton of stickles and the DCWV glitter paper, I used a Cuttlebug folder on the background paper...can't remember what it is called. I used last years DCWV paper for the liner on the envelope and one of the stamps from My Pink Stamper.

Halloween Card #2


This card was made with one of the cute little pumpkins on Mini-Monsters. I used a brad to attach the card and googly eyes to give him a cute look! I love this glitter paper from DCWV, it gives it a real pop. I used my new stamps from My Pink Stamper...they are fun!!!! Used last years DCWV paper for the lining on the envelope...TFL!

Halloween Cards...


I have been having so much fun with the Mini-Monsters cartridge!! I received my Pink Stamper Stamps today and was able to finish these Halloween cards. I think they came out pretty cool...I am posting the best six. I don't usually send alot of Halloween cards, but I will be this year LOL. Thanks for looking!!

So for this card I used the witches hat - I used a Cuttleug folder (Divine swirls) and lots of Stickles. I love the MS drippy goo punch, I was lucky enough to find one this year! I also used my new Pink Stamper stamp...these are soooooo cool. I used the DCWV stack from this year for the card and from last year for the matching envelope.

Another Window Decal


So our Girl Scout Troop marched in the local Labor Day Parade. We had a van in the procession and of COURSE we had to decorate...LOL. So I used SCAL and cut the GS Logo and words in the proper font and we put it on three windows. Looked pretty cool and everyone wanted to know how we did it....TFL

Butterfly Card made with the Gypsy


So I have to thank Maya Magoo and her post over on Tuesday Treats this week. I was SO happy to see her back - I just love her stuff. She really inspired me to make this card - I have been trying to come up with something different for a card for my mom using a butterfly and I think this came out really nice. I also have to thank my bestie and my personal crafting guru Randi (you should check out her site...she is giving away some fun blog candy!!!!http://craftycricutcreations.blogspot.com/). She has taught me so much about my G and E and pushed me to try new things. I used four different pattern papers from DCWV Summer Dream Stack- a big first for me. I welded the beutterfly and flower shapes with my G and added/welded the rectangle for the back of the card. I cut two layers for the front and only attached the butterfly along the body so that she popped out. I only added a little bling as the paper has glitter in it...added a little ribbon and pearls for the inside and called it a day. TFL!!!!
