Merry Christmas Friends

I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas! 

I will be taking a blog break until after the new year, see you then!

Enjoy your special day!

 I made this fun butterfly body using the technique in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGMTWzS_3FE the only difference was that I used liquid glass to hold my paper together and give it a shine. Also I just cut paper triangles, no die cut needed.

Just Because

This is a really easy and quick card. I used a pattern from the Make It from your Heart book. It took the longest to cut out that beautiful butterfly. Check back tomorrow to see a really neat butterfly card

You are SO Totally Wonderful

For this little gift sack I cut two arrow from the boarders on the Artbooking cartridge. I trimmed off the unwanted pieces of the boarder to created the arrows. I used the fun stamp called You 're the Bomb for the words. Turned out really cute!

forever in my heart card

Check out my arrow, don't be afaid to look at your stamps in a different way. This arrow was all one piece, but I thought it would look good like it was going through the heart. I cut my stamp in have with a sharp pair of scissors. One of the great things about clear stamps is that you can cut them and then next time if you want to use them together you can do that too. If you are not comfortable with cutting, just use a masking technique. I took a fine marker and gave the image some detail so is looked like the arrow was going through the heart.

Happy Valentine's Day Card

You're Sweet Card

I cut this great umbrella on the CTMH Artfully Sent Cricut Cartridge. If you haven't got your cartridge- DO IT! Not only does it make lots of cards it is full of great icon images like this Umbrella

U + Me = Love

This is a very simple and quick Valentine Card. One of the things that makes it so simple and quick is Stamps from CTMH that coordinate with cricut cuts. Not having to cut, for me, totally saves time and always looks better than my left handed cutting skills.

Love Ya Silly Monsters Card

I am enjoying this sweet little one eyed monster. And look, I even made a pink monster with a bow!

Valentine Hanging Display

I have had the idea to do this for awhile now, but of course just like everything else, not enough time in the day to make all the projects I want to. I used the My Crush line from CTMH to create the hanging tags. I used a couple of pictures on it. Right now it's hanging in my craft room on the door. But come Valentine's I am moving it to the kitchen to enjoy!

Pink Scooter Card

You knew it would be back! The scooter stamp! This time in pink, and now I think a pink scooter too! Do you think a person could have too many scooters?

One eyed Monster Card

I needed a quick boy birthday card last month. I had all this Valentine paper and stamps out on my work table, I challenged myself to use the paper and stamps to make a boy card. Turned out cute I think! I added a wiggle eye and a mini bowtie to give the card that boy look!

Snowhaven Gift Tags

I picked up these burlap bags in the Dollar Section at Micheal's! They go so well with the Snowhaven line from CTMH that I just made a few simple gift tags.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!

Merry Christmas Pocket Card

 My favorite feature on the Artfully Sent CTMH Cartridge is the pocket feature. I just love an interactive card. This has a pull out tag that you can write a message on or add a photo to.

A Wonderful Season of Joy

A very quick and easy card from the Artfully Sent CTMH Cricut Cartridge. I cut the card base in White Daisy Cardstock (the design cuts out the trees) I added some patten paper and few stamp images to make a fun card.

Happy Birthday to You Scooter Card

So this is the last scooter card, for now. I don't doubt that you will see it again in the future with other paper packs. And speaking of paper packs- I used the Snowhaven pattern paper to make a birthday card. Always look at your paper and get the most you can out of it!

Glitter Scooter Matchbook Card

For this card I used the light blue Marker from Close to My Heart and then added prisma glitter over the top. The picture doesn't show very well but this is the most sparkling scooter ever!

Bird on the Scooter

 

All of my scooter cards are multicolored. To get this look I started with a black scooter and then I stamped it again in different colors. For this card I stamped it again in Cranberry and then trimmed out the fenders. I then used a maker to color in the blue. Paper piecing is a great way to get a multicolored image.

Merry & Bright Scooter Card

Yep, I am still making scooter cards! By the end of November I may have enough to send the whole world a scooter card. Have you made any scooter cards? Leave a link in the comments and I will take a look at yours!

Happy Holidays Scooter Card.

I have decided that I now want a scooter! Hey, Santa!! Have a great weekend!

Loaded down Scooter Card

Let me just give you a fair warning, you are going to be seeing lots of cards with the scooter stamp. It's a lot like the trailer stamp from the past catalog, it a new favorite!

Lady Bug Celebrate Birthday Card

 I think lady bugs are perfect for a 1st birthday! I cut the card base and the lady bug using the Artfully Sent Cricut cartridge. Looks like lots of work went into the card but of course the cartridge did all the hard work. I did all the fun embellishing!

Hey You 3x3 Cards

These little 3x3 cards are perfect for using up scraps. I love to toss a set of 3 in a birthday card or add them to a small little gift I hand deliver!
