Men's Birthday Card

A card I made for my boyfriend's Dad's birthday.  I used the tool paper as the starting off point because he loves tools.  All of the paper used is from the "Guys Stack" by DCWV.  I used Wild Card cartridge to cut out the card and envelope.





Birthday Slider Card

The frog on the front of this card slides back and fourth as you tip the card.  Two penny's sandwiched with a demensional creates the slider mechanism.

Here is a link for a youtube tutorial on exactly how to make one!

Halloween Soda Bottle Labels

 Martha Stewart came out with super cute labels this year that inspired me to create my own!  I removed the label from the glass soda bottles, and made sure I got all of the glue off.  I made each halloween label using creepy paper and the happy hauntings cricut cartridge.  Some of the decorations came in a pack of halloween dicuts from Joanns fabrics.  I glued the labels onto the soda bottles with elmers spray on adhesive, which worked wonderfully!  The labes I made are "goblins blood, witches brew, zombie elixir, and polyjuice potion". 






Halloween Gift Bags

Halloween gift bags for my niece and nephews!  I have always had a spot in my heart for Halloween.  Ever since I was young I have always loved witches, ghosts, and gobblins!!!  I used the Happy Hauntings cricut cartridge for these bags.  This cartridge is great! It has so many great halloween images and fantastic creepy font!!  I got super cheap plain colored bags and decorated them.  I stuffed them with glow sticks, soda bottles with creepy labels (see my post on labels), silly bands, and candy for a fun halloween treat!




Vintage girlie birthday

Vintage Bithday card.  I started with the brown pattern paper, and the daisy pattern.  The yellow zebra and geometric pattern complimented it perfectly.  I grabbed a AAA junk mail mag and cut out some flower layers from sections of text.  I glued it to cardstock for added thickness.  I put the flowers together with a brad and stuck them to the card with foam for dimension.  I used the Cindy Loo and Wild Card cartridges to make this card.  I added some pearls for a little luster!




Blue girly birthday

I made this card for my Aunt.  Her favorite color is blue, so I ran with that.  I chose three coordinating papers to use in this card.  I used my Martha Stewart edge punch as a seperation beween the two papers.  The paper flower was made from the Forever Young cricut cartidge.  The happy birthday sentiment is a rub on from a quote stack purchased on QVC.com.  lots of rhinestones give this card its girlie charm!



Tiffany Blue Wedding

Beautiful wedding card I made for my friends wedding.  I love the way this card turned out!! I used her wedding colors of tiffany blue, black, and white as inspiration.  And of course a love theme for a wedding.  The Love sentiment is a purchased sticker.  I added some small rhinestones to bling it up a bit.  I made the card base and envelope with my Wild Card Cricut cartridge.  Lots of layers and foam dimension give this card an expensive look!
