Celebrate Cards

The celebrate stamp was white heat embossed and then the edges of their cardstock and also the green patterned paper on the second card were inked with distress ink. Some of the patterned papers by Crate Papers My Mind's Eye, Making Memories, and possibly Colorbok. Ribbon by Offray and brad is unknown. I do know that that brad is going to be stupidly expensive to mail but I liked the way it matched the cardstock.

The Value of an idea Card

This sentiment is a great lead-in to a belated birthday card. The idea is to send the card on time.
I find it funny that recently I used ribbon on a card and now ribbon has been on a bunch of my cards.
The centerpiece of the card is an ATC that I give credit to in the picture below.
I stamped the background with Close to My Heart stamps. The ribbon is by Offray and the dots are by Gina Marie. 

Below is the ATC designer.

Peace and Paisley cards Part 2

For these first three cards, I doubled up the fabric paisley circles ironing them onto the paper with border die cuts behind them.

The peace sign punch is from Oriental Trading Co.

On the card below, I layered Spellbinders die cuts under the fabric.
Here is another Peace card. 

For this next card, I dry embossed the blue paper with a Sizzix folder.

I punched out some leaves and adhered them to the orange cardstock and spritzed them with Glimmer Mist.

The ribbon is from Offray.

I layered Spellbinders die cuts under the fabric.  

This next picture is yesterday's two cards with this one.

These cards were made as thank you cards for the parents that helped/contributed to the homecoming float. Long story short, Hubby and other friend teachers are advisors for the class of 2025. The theme this year was decades. The Senior class chose the 1980's. The Juniors were 2000's. The Sophomores were 1990's and the Freshman were 1970's hence the funky cards. 

Along with designing these cards, I used my Cricut to cut out a bunch of 1970's type die cuts that the kids glued onto signs. They waved the signs during the Mock Rock (a dance that I choreographed).
So, I had a few extra fabric circles and adhered them to the sunglasses die cut.

This picture makes me giggle because it reminds me of the next picture.

Hubby and BIL check on my dad's cottage when going to our cottage. My Dad's cottage is a 5-minute walk from ours. So they went in, checked on things, and drank one of my Dad's beers.
They found these glasses on the table and in an effort to find out who they belonged to, they took a selfie wearing the glasses and sent it to the family GroupMe app. LOL.

The family didn't think it was as funny as I did.

Yellow Butterfly tag on Red patterned paper background card

My card today could be used for any occasion.

The butterfly stamp is by Stampin Up. 

I colored it in with Copic and cut it out close to the edge to include some white around the image.

The yellow tag die-cut was cut out with my Cricut. The tag is set with a large eyelet from my Mom’s stash. 

The off-white ribbon is by Offray.

The patterned paper is by October Afternoon 

I heavily inked it with yellow distress ink. The spaces in the patterned paper that are in between the red were off-white and I wanted the paper to match my butterfly's tag. 

⦁Yellow distress ink to the rescue.

There is a bit of red ink blended into the edges. 

The ribbon in the center is by...hmmm...my guess is Doodlebug.

Secretaries Day Just for You Card

I made this tag in 2014  and if you look at this post you can see I removed the Miss You sentiment. I don't send many Miss You type cards but I liked the tag. So I offed the sentiment label and used the tag for a Secretaries Day card. It worked well because the tag has dimension and the card is square. Perfect qualities for a hand delivered card rather than one that goes through the mail.

My new sentiment is by Lawn Fawn and is on dahlia die cut by Spellbinders. The purple background cardstock is by Coordinations and was dry embossed. Then I ran an emery board over the embossing to reveal the white like core of the paper.

Thanks for looking.

Manly Monday arrow birthday card

Noel, Reindeer and Joy Cricut Tag Cards

Today I have three similar cards to share. The tags are all cut out with my Cricut using the Very Merry Tags cartridge. I'm going to talk about the first two cards because they are so similar and then talk about the third card below.

These tags are cut out of a green Pink Paisley patterned paper with a Making Memories dark green cardstock. I adhered the tags together and tied a green (Offray) ribbon around the hole at the top. I took some scraps of the Recollections glitter paper and adhered it to a white card base. The larger ribbon and the die cut are unknown. People give me random things with no packaging to refer to. Sorry.

I die cut this tag out of Making Memories patterned paper on top as well as the bottom. I layered the tag on top of two Spellbinders dies. One of which was cut out of old packaging and the other out of Sunborn cardstock.

I had to set an eyelet on top before tying the ribbon around. 

The background is white cardstock that I dry embossed with a Cuttlebug folder and inked with the spruce distress ink.. I added Perfect Pearls to the entire background to really make it sparkle. It's hard to tell in the photos but it does sparkle.

Thanks for looking and stopping by.

Friend Michelle Christmas Card Layout

My layout today is one for the Christmas card book(s) that I'm always working on. I'm a little behind with these books but they are a work in progress. I've noticed people are sending less and less cards these days which makes me think this book series could come to an end one of these years. Big bummer. I really like seeing their kids grow from year to year.

The background paper is unknown but the paper for the die cuts are by Hot off the press. I welded the leaves together in Cricut Craft Room from the Art Philosophy cartridge. The poinsettias flowers are by Prima and I've placed a enamel dot in the center. The cream colored enamel dots are by Fiskars and the pinkish ones are by Cloud 9. The bird sticker is by American Crafts, the ribbon by Offray and the 2013 is cut out using the same cartridge as mentioned above. 

Thanks for looking.

Vector Flourishes Cards

I made a few different anniversary cards with Deep Red Stamps Vector Flourishes. I stamped one and then turned the stamp upside down to stamp it again underneath the first. I used ink by Hero Arts, Love die cut by SU that I colored with silver powdered chalk, Offray and The Paper Studio ribbon, some patterned paper by Craft Paper and K and Co, cardstock by Provo Craft and Recollections and a border punch on one by Martha Stewart.

Thanks for looking.

Sneaker Calendar Layout

I made this layout for a calendar and now that I look at it, I think it needed a title. But honestly, I don't think my brother would really notice or care. This is my nephew and niece with my sister's dog. 

The background paper is by Hot off the Press and the purple paper at the bottom is by Sunborn. I made the swirl at the bottom with an old Creative Memories trimmer thingy. The patterned paper at the way the bottom is by Colorbok and it has been punched with a Stampin Up border punch. 

In black by the picture is a Tim Holtz/Sizzix die that I cut in half to place on each side of the photo. The die outside that is a Cricut cut from the Art Philosophy cartridge. I know the shadow paper is by Die Cuts with a View. I would guess that all the cardstock on this layout would be by Recollections. 

The cute sneaker ribbon is by Offray. I have to tell you when my mom gave the ribbon to me I was like-ummmmm....what the heck am I going to use this on? Well... crazy enough when I saw this picture the first thing that stood out to me was their shoes. So.....Ta-da! Enter the crazy ribbon from my crazy mother. Crazy runs in our family! Lol
