With heartfelt thanks

I made this card using the doily cut on the Wild Card Cartridge. Its a great thank you card! I added some primas, a button, some hemp twine, and a bit of viva decor to dress it up. I like its simplicity. The sentiment was used from some vellum stickers I had from a card pack. Please let me know what you think! Thanks for looking!

Bird Sympathy Card with envelope

Today's post is a cute little sympathy card made for a fellow GIBBS sister. I am unsure what cut I used- but the cartridge was Wild Card. I added some Viva Decor to spruce it up- but kept it simple. Sympathy cards are so hard to make. The vellum  message says: "Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal"

Let me know what you think!

Friend Card

I made this card for a GIBBS sister. I am really happy with how it turned out. I used the Wild Card Cart. This was the doily cut- but I am unsure on the size. I used some primas, Stampin Up! pearls, a button, and some hemp twine to dress this up. I used a vellum sticker I had in a pack for cards. I hope you like it as much as I do!

Missing you...

Here is a card for my first challenge for "If the Shoe Fits." I had fun with this and used my new Jubilee cartridge! I haven't used the letters from it because I am waiting for the Design Studio I ordered on ebay... should be any day now! I also used some scraps I had laying around, along with the stitched card cut from Wild Card. I love that cartridge so much. I don't think Ive used a cartridge as often as I use that one! My card has vellum titled "Missing You." I used ribbon from Best Occasions and some rhinestones to jazz it up, along with another favorite of mine- STICKLES! I like how this card turned out. I like the tones that I used, and think my cardmaking skills seem to be getting better. I think I've been broadening my horizons a bit! :)

Birds of a feather, flock together

Today I am entering my gift box into the crafty creations challenge. Anything birds... I decided not to do a card- to change it up a bit. I think it needs more- but am stumped- so I think I am finished with it... I used all wild card cuts with this. I used stickles on the birds to enhance feathers, and on the sky to add a little sparkle, and ink to the sky and tree to dress it up a bit. I used yellow brads for the birds eyes. Enjoy!

Just a note... (Mojo Monday Challenge)

This card is for the Mojo Monday Challenge #94. I had fun with this card! I really liked all the design teams inspiration, and hope that this card is one of the winners! I think it has that potential! (I am usually not to quick to compliment myself!) I used the #1 cut from Wild Card. I used DCWV and My Big Ideas paper. I had some fabric flowers and flocked brads laying around- so I used that to dress it up. I also used Martha Stewart Ribbon. (That's my fave color! And I'm almost out! :( It was on clearance! ) I also used Moxie buttons and Stickles to dress it up as well. The stamp says- "Just a note to wish you a great day"

Hello (Stars and Strips challenge)

I decided to do my first challenge with The Pink Elephant. The challenge was Stars and Strips. The requirements: Strips of paper, Strips of Ribbon, Strips of String, Etc, Etc. So I used some pieces that I'd had and some foam stars. I dressed it up with some stickles. I used the WOW cut from the Wild Card cartridge. Please tell me what you think! I had fun making it!

Red White and Blue...

I have entered into the OCC challenge for this week- which is a red, white, and blue theme. It does not have to be patriotic. I made a thank you card last week for a friend of mine and I also made another card today- a birthday card. The Thank You card is made from the wild card cartridge star card, and the birthday card is made from the wow card blacked out...

I hope you enjoy them both!

New Beginning... House Card

Today I did the House Card Challenge for Bitten By the Bug. I did have fun doing this- and like how it turned out! I used DCWV paper for both the card base and the other shapes. I had some Michaels stickers for the flowers on the bottom, and used some rhinestones for the window and door knob. I used stickles to emphasize the windows, and outline the vellum. I used Moxie buttons to dress up the "a new beginning" vellum. I used the Wild Card Cartridge. Let me know your thoughts!

Love is in the air!

This was inspired by the previous card I made. I decided to do a love theme. I think it turned out ok. I used the blackout option Argyle card from the Wild Card cricut cartridge. I really do love that cartridge! I think that was one of the best purchases I made for that machine! I used basic grey paper for the front, and best occasions ribbon. I used stickles to decorate it out, and some cuts I had left over to embellish the swirls a bit. On the inside is a congratulations sticker I had. Thanks for looking! Tell me what you think!

Thank you card

I did this card for the OCC Challenge. I like the simplicity of this card. I added some stickles to it to make it jazzed up just a bit. I used Martha Stewart Ribbon and Memory Makers and DCWV card stock. I used the Wild Card cartridge using the hanukkah card blacked out.

Thinking of you card

I think this may be my last card/project for the day. When you are 9 months pregnant and staring at paper most of the day- it gets a bit tiring! This project is the Mojo Monday Challenge. I love following the Mojo Monday Blog. If you get a chance- check it out! They have great ideas to get your mojo flowing! I made this thinking of you card, and really like it. I like the color scheme I have. I used a card from the Wild Card cartridge, stickles, ribbon, and some fabric flowers that I had. I also had some extra cuts from previous cricut cuts that I used in it too. I think I know the perfect person to get this card!

Birthday card

This card is for the Stamps and Smiles Challenge. I used Wild Card cartridge for this. I also used stickles. I'm still up in the air about it. My friend saw it and loved it.... Tell me what you think...

BBTB Contest Summer Card

I had fun with this.I used 3 cartridges for my project here. I used Stretch Your Imagination, Plantin Schoolbook, and Wild Card. I think that's the first time I've ever used more than one cartridge! I guess you could say my creativity is expanding! YAY! So the contest said it had to be a summer card with a yellow button- My first thought of summer was sun, and the second was water- or the beach. So this is what I've created...

Scallop Thank You Card

I like the colors I used for this- I used Wild Card Cricut Cartridge and my Cricut Expression to make this. I used Diamond Stickles to enhance the "THANKS." I used some paper I had to do the liner- and I used DCVW card stock for the word "THANKS" and the card itself. I also used beige stamping ink to distress the edges of the opening of the card.

Wild Card Baby Carriage Cards

I have been enjoying my Wild Card Cartridge with my Cricut Expression! I have some baby carriage cards I'd like to show that I had fun making! The yellow card has the saying "Special Delivery" on it. Its hard to read with all the glitter on the sticker. I used Stickles to dress all of the cards up. They all have their own corrisponding envelopes from the cartridge with them.
