Goodies Galore!

Thank you so much for stopping in today!  Today is my turn to post at Cheery Lynn Designs. 

I’ve taken my dies into the masculine world again! How about a shaped masculine card?!

By first folding my cardstock and letting my die hang slightly over the folded edge, I cut the base (red cardstock) of my card using the Inverted Scallop Circle. I cut the next layer (plaid) using the Circle Stacker Nesting Dies. I can’t tell you how much I love the Nesting Dies and Stackers! They are designed to fit inside each other taking all the guess work out!!

I cut a Coved Rectangle to layer my chipboard sticker and sentiment on. I adhered the coved rectangle and chipboard with dimensional foam to add life to the card.

Today is my final post at Quick Quotes. I want to extend a huge thank you to Quick Quotes for inviting me to be the Guest Designer for the month!!! I had a fabulous time!!

 For my final project, I decided to step outside the box and create some Holiday goodies! 

A mix of Savvy Davvy, Damsel in Distress, and Cherry Truffle come together for a card of more traditional colors. I cut one shadow and two snowflakes using my Cricut Expression and Winter Lace cartridge. I layered the snowflakes using foam tape adding more dimension to the card.

To create the sentiment, I wrote the word out using a pencil then stitched over my pencil markings. Other ingredients: Jenni Bowlin pin, DMC floss, Imaginsce bling, ribbon and lace unknown.

A mix of papers from Savvy Davvy and Miss Morgan blend well together to create a holiday card of non-traditional colors. The tree was cut using Cricut Expression, gypsy, and Christmas cartridge. Other ingredients: EKSuccess punches, Twine from The Twinery, and metal studs from Imaginesce, Ranger Stickles

The sleigh was formed using a mix of Savvy Davvy and Damsel in Distress. The pattern for the sleigh was found at

www.clearandsimplestamps.com The holly was cut using the Cricut Expression and Seasons Cartridge. Other ingredients: Making Memories brads; metal studs from Imaginsce, and ribbon unknown.

Imaginisce fun!

This cute little flower pot card has been around for a while but I just had to make one for my cousin. She is struggling through a rough recovery after back surgery and I thought this delightful little pop out bouquet would be the perfect fun card to brighten her day!

I created the little pocket flower pot using the instructions shown here. I used my Cricut Expression and Walk in my Garden cartridge to cut the flowers, leaves and tools. I love the layer feature on the Gypsy to line up my flower layers so I know exactly what I am getting before I cut! It is also a great way to flip some of the leaves so I can see how they will align in my project before I cut them out.

Making sure a large heart was centered in the punch, I created flower centers using my i-top. I added a bit of sparkle and detail using my i-rock and bling. To add the sentiment and lady bug, I pulled my All Occasion Build-A-Card Pad and cut apart a sentiment sticker. The words fit perfectly at the bottom of the flower pot, and the adorable lady bug is just the perfect touch sitting on top of a flower! I just placed the sticker on a piece of white scrap, then cut around the image and adhered using a pop dot!

I used one of the sentiment blocks for the end of the tools. Another great feature of the Gypsy is that I can place exactly where I want to cut so it takes the guessing game out and makes it much easier when cutting small pieces of paper or scraps!

Imaginisce - pattern paper, i-rock, bling, i-top, All Occasion Build-A-Card Pad; Core’dinations cardstock; Stampin’Up marker; unknown -ribbon, jute

Holiday Card

I have a quick holiday card to share today. It’s not the best photo, but it is snowing out and I am being wimpy about stepping outside today! :)

The snow has me in the mood to create holiday cards.

Using Cardabilities sketch #14
I decided to replace the oval shape with a cut out window using my Cricut and Cheers cartridge. I put holiday floral in the corner, and added a sentiment to a Spellbinders Fancy Tag. Stamping a snowflake background, spritized with Peal Glimmer Mist and attaching it to the inside of the card with my Helmar zapdots gives the illusion of looking out the window.

Of course I had to add some Ranger Stickles, and a few Kaiser pearls to give it some holiday sparkle!

Have a super Sunday and thanks for stopping by!!

My tree was inspired by Gabrielle’s Make N Take during the Life Preservers Crop last weekend. I created the tree and decorations during the crop, but wanted to finish it off with a tag on the jar/vase. While browsing the Echo Park blog, I came across vintage label downloads and knew that it was just what my tag needed!

As always, click on the photo to enlarge!

The vase is a taco sauce jar! Using a Pink Paislee canvas label, I cut it to fit inside the label form molded in the glass. I filled the jar with leaves and sand from my sandbox.




I used lots of Ranger Stickles, Crackle Accents, and Distress inks as well as popdots and sanding to add texture to the ornaments. Notice the Core'dinations background in each piece?! Love that stuff!! The ghosts, bats, spiders, skeletons, and mat shapes were cut with my cricut.
