Silhouette Birthday Swing Card for Operation Write Home

February 21, 2013 6 Comments

Hi,

I have been busy making cards for Operation Write Home.  This week’s challenge was to make a card with a fun fold.  I chose a swing birthday cake card that I  got from the 2013-02-21 13.54.42 on-line store.  I decorated the front of the card with Tim Holtz distress inks.  I used the cut outs for the cake as masks for the front.   The icing layer on the front of the card was a  Martha Stewart stamp I purchased during Halloween. I love using my stash for things other than what they were intended for.  I used Recollections paper for the base and2013-02-21 13.53.36 insi2013-02-21 13.54.26de of the card.  I added a little stickles to the candles on the front.

I had a lot of fun making this card.

2013-02-20 20.36.29Hi,

I made this card for the Dynamic Duo’s color challenge. We were to use the color combination turquoise and black. It is hard to see in my picture but the outfits were colored with turquoise and black. The stamps are from Close to My Heart.  I used Tombow dual brush pens and Recollections paper. I love the sentiment. It is sooo true. LOL

Happy Valentine’s Day

February 14, 2013 2 Comments

Happy Valentine’s Day!! I hope you all get to spend some time with the special people in your lives.  My hubby is away on business but he and my daughter planned a special surprise for me this morning. This is the card I made for him and will give it to him when he gets home tomorrow.  I used the silhouette on-line store for the image. I got it during the Valentine sale. I think the sale is still going on if you want to check out their store.  I also use the K&Company paper pack for this card. It contains beautiful 2 sided paper perfect for Valentines or love cards.2013-02-11 15.42.512013-02-11 15.42.15 I used popdots for the banner and little pink heart to give some dimension. The inside of the card is a print and cut file.

Hugs!

Valentine’s Day Card

February 6, 2013 3 Comments

Hi,

Today I made a Valentine’s Day card for my mom.  She loves her coffee so I thought this would be perfect for her. I am enclosing a Dunkin Donuts card inside (her favorite place).  I used my Silhouette Cameo and a cut file from the on-line store to create the cup. The punch is a Martha Stewart heart border punch. I also used Martha Stewart red embossing powder for the sentiment. The paper is from K&Company. I used My Creative Time Gift Card Sentiments for the stamp.

This was so easy to put together. I cut two of the cups, one in white and one in the print, and paper pieced them together. I used pop dots to adhere the cup to give it some dimension.

I am entering this card in Scrappy Moms Stamps Terrific 2013-02-06 09.42.01-3Tuesday Challenge and Dynamic Duos Color Challenge.

Get Well Card for Lesson 1 of Clean & Simple Card Making On Line Class

February 5, 2013 1 Comment

Hi.

I am taking the On Line Class Clean and Simple Card Making. Today I made a get well card for a friend using the strategy taught in lesson 1.  I made my own mask using my silhouette cameo. It cuts extremely well especially for all the tiny cuts in this 2013-02-05 13.59.03cut. I think it might have been one of the freebies that came with my silhouette cameo. I used Tim Holtz lavender distress ink for the mask and sentiment.

I am loving this class and all the new strategies I am learning. The videos are well done and they include PDF if you want to have a paper copy.

I think my friend will enjoy this card. I hope it brightens her day.

Male birthday card and OWH challenge using Silhouette

February 4, 2013 Leave a Comment

Hi,

Here is another birthday card I made for the OWH birthday challenge. I find male themed cards very hard to make. I think this one works great for a male birthday card. I used my silhouette and the print and cut feature to create the car card.  I purchased the car shape card from silhouette online store. If you haven’t tried the cut and print feature, I highly recommend giving it a go. There are 2013-02-04 14.42.112013-02-04 14.41.43a lot of videos on you tube that explain how it works. It really is very easy. The stamps for my card are from Close to My Heart. I paper pieced them on the card. I really like the way the card came out and plan on making one for my brother-in-law with his name on the license plate instead of USA.

child birthday card CTM Artiste and Teddy Bear on Parade Cartridges

February 4, 2013 Leave a Comment

Hi all,
I wanted to share this birthday card I made for my granddaughter’s third birthday.
It is a shape card using the cupcake from the CTM Cricut Artiste Cartridge. The teddy bear is from the  Teddy Bear on Parade lite cartridge.  I love these cartridges. They have everything you could ever need. I am going to make several more of these without the birthday number for Operation Write Home.  I could put a cherry on top instead. They are requesting birthday cards for children this month.2012-11-29 13.32.01

Male Birthday Card /Artist Cartridge

January 4, 2013 1 Comment

2012-12-13 08.36.52Happy New Year,
I hope everyone had a great holiday. I was blessed with a new granddaughter on Dec.18. Absolutely the best Christmas present. Now I need to start a scrap book for her.
My brother in law’s birthday is in Dec. I find it hard to make cards for men. I found this shape card on the Artiste Cricut cartridge. It really came out cute. Sorry for the bad pic. I made a G on his pocket. Can you guess what his name begins with?

Hi, It is hard to believe that Thanksgiving is this week. I have been working on Christmas cards. This is one of the cards I included in my Operation Write Home box. The sentiment is a Fiskars stamp. I got the snowman stamp from Michaels. I colored it with Tombow dual brush pens.
