Cars shaped card

 This card was made using my gypsy and the Disney Cars cricut cartridge. I used the route 66 sign and welded two of them together to make a shape card. I then cut out all the layers and used the gypsy to hide contours and make the shapes the way I wanted. The stamps are a fiskars stamp set that I used to emboss the background and stamp the car. I colored the car with watercolor pencils and added some sparkle to the detailing with squibbles iridescent.

Thanks for looking.

Cow birthday petal card

This card was made for a friend who loves cows.  I wanted a cow standing up and did not have one on my cricut cartridges so I used a program to convert an image for cutting. I love how I can use these programs to compliment my cricut cartridges. The cow was cut at 3.5 inches and layered. I shaded around all the edges. I used a piece of DCWV's Flower Shower paper pack for the background and grass. The blades of grass were cut from Disney's Pooh and Friends cricut cartridge to add a little more dimension. The party stamp is from Studio G. I then incorporated the envelope to become part of the card by mounting the card base to the envelope. The envelope was cut from Stampin Up's dsp. I then stamped on a circle with a Stampin Up set and made the circle into a tag. The ribbon is from Stampin Up.

Hello Kitty Butterfly with Peachy Keen Stamps

I tried out my two favorite things on this card (Gypsy and Peachy Keen's Wide Eyed Kids face stamps). If you have not tried Peachy Keen stamps, you don't know what your missing. Kathy's stamps stamp perfectly without much pressure and they bring life to your projects.

I used the butterfly from Hello Kitty Greetings cricut cartridge and hid the contours in the face and body for stamping and highlighted with a jelly roll white gel pen.  The designer paper is from Prima "Rock on Love". The side accents are from Gypsy Wanderings cricut gypsy cartridge. I will add a sentiment later.

Thanks for looking.

Paisely birthday card - hula hoop dog

This card was made using the Paisley cartridge that my daughter and I made for her friend's birthday. She picked out the colors that she thought her friend would like. The background papers are from the Flower Shower stack from DCWV. I used Scribbles glittering crystal 3d paint on the collar and hoop for some added sparkle. The sentiment is from a Hero Arts stamp set embossed with white embossing powder ad placed a bling on each side with my i-rock.
Thanks for looking.

So many cakes birthday card

Wow it has been awhile since I have posted, sorry about that. I will try and post more often. Here is a card that I had made for a friend's birthday. I used the Prima Rock on Love stack that I had in my stash for the papers and a Stampin Up stamp. The frostings were made with liquid applique for the puffy white and glossy accents on the chocolate and cherries. The stamped image was colored in with Stampin Up markers. These are vibrant colors for me so it was a little bit of a challenge and looking at it now I should have shadowed underneath the cakes. I used Martha Stewart twine as the bow on the side.
Thanks for looking.

Decoupage Vintage Wooden Box with mini

This was a Michael's dollar box that I have covered using Vintage Findings paper from my stash. I first painted the outside of the box with white craft paint. I then tore the papers and adhered to the box with modpodge and sanded the edges and front button. I distressed the button with Tim Holtz tea dye distress ink. I was going to distress all the edges of the paper with Tea dye but forgot (maybe next time). The flower was made from dictionary paper that I cut out on my cricut with Accent Essentials cartridge and distressed with Rose Red ink and then formed into a flower, added a brad in the middle and I added some diamond dust to the petals. I then added a bling swirl freehand with my i-rock. I then added some lace that I had picked up at Joanns. The mini book was made from the same papers layered on coasters. I included 4 pockets that I included inspirational tags on. The tags were stamped with various Stampin Up stamps. I used my music score stamp to add more a background to the plain cardstock pages. The mini is binded with ribbon. The little flowers were made with the cover paper by using Stampin Up's 3 flower punch and 2 flowers from the Boho Blossoms punch.

Thanks for looking.

Hello Kitty Gift set

My daughter's best friend in kindergarten just recently moved away and she wanted to make something for her. So we took out the Hello Kitty Greetings cricut cartridge and cut out a few Hello Kitty shapes. The purse was made using Stampin up card stock and micheals ribbon and the sentiment is from a micheals dollar stamp. Inside the purse we had made a small beaded bracelet with a Hello Kitty bead in the middle for her to wear. The purse came out 4x4 squared. The brad on the purse is from Target. On the card we had used Stampin Up papers from a mat stack. The sentiment on the card is a stamp from "The Angel Company".
