Operation Write Home Midweek Throwdown: Masculine Card / Any Theme

April 13, 2014 Leave a Comment

Hi all,

Operation Write Home’s  Challenge for it Midweek Throwdown is Masculine Cards any theme.  They are in need of some missing you cards.  I decided to use this SVGCutting files image for my card.  I love the SVG Cutting files images.  They are very easy to assemble. I used the cut and print feature on my Cameo to make the sentiment.     I made several of these cards to add to my box of cards for the troops.

Operation Write Home is a non-profit organization that sends handmade blank cards to the troops so they can write home to their love ones.

I Moose You

Operation Write Home VCMP Final Challenge

September 3, 2013 Leave a Comment

Hi, The final challenge is to use a negative of a die or punch.

2013-08-13 07.58.13I used the negative cut of my shape on the butterfly paper and stamped my sentiment in the space created when I taped it onto my card. I used a Martha Stewart stamp for the butterfly, colored it with Tombow Dual Brush pens and hand cut it out.

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.

Challenge #139 -Snow
 Our challenge this week is to provide inspiration for those snowy days ahead.   I decided to use the cricut Winter Frolic cartridge and create a card for the holidays.  I cut my snowman at 3 inches and used a Martha Stewart punch for the snowflakes on the first one and a My Creative Time die for the second.  I added stickels to the flakes to give them some sparkle.  I used some KI memories paper that I had in my stash. I think the cards came out cute and plan on making a few more to send to my friends.

Hi,
Here is another Halloween card. I used Cricut Paper Pups. I cut the flying pup witch at 2 inches high. I used Martha Stewart Halloween paper from last year. The bats are stickers from Recollections. The haunted house is a Studio 112 stamp I got from the dollar bin at Joanns.
Sorry for the poor pic quality. It looks better in person.

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog Trains, Planes and Automobiles

September 10, 2012 4 Comments

Hi all,

I am loving this wonderful weather here in NJ.  I was inspired to create this card for the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge when I watched some neighbor children skateboarding today.  We were to create a card using a form of transportation.  I did not want to do the usual modes of travel so I thought skateboarding would be a great alternative.  Hope you enjoy it.  I used the cricut cartridge Everyday Paper Dolls and CTMH stamp It’s Your Day for the sentiment.
