Hoppy Easter!

Happy Saturday! Easter is about a month away and we all need to start on those cards. I made one using Close to My Heart stamp set I bought 3 years ago. I used Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored this bunny with Prisma color pencils. I will see you tomorrow with another bunny card.

Stamp: Close to My Heart - Hoppy Easter

From My Heart to Yours

2016-02-13T15:45:00.002-06:00

Happy Saturday! I hope you are enjoying your weekend. Very short post today. I found some cute paper at Michaels from ReCollections and it fits the card my sentiment perfectly. Enjoy your day.

Valentine's Day Sucker Covers

2016-02-07T15:04:00.001-06:00

Happy Sunday! Here is a quick tutorial to make easy and quick Valentine's Day Sucker covers.

I first started off with a fast print and cut. I tried to fit as many heroes and princesses on one page to save money.

Here is what it look like after my machine cut each hero out.

Next cut your 8.5x 11 card stock into strips. If you line the short side then you will not waste a lot paper. I sliced every 2.75 until the end of the paper. Then I rotated the paper to cut at the 6 in. mark. I probably used 3 sheets of paper. This is a paper I bought for about $2.50. WOW! Lots of savings there.

Make sure the short side is against the guide of the cutter.

After all the cutting, I had 12 pieces of 2.75x 6.

I used my scoring board to score 2 7/8 and 3 1/4 on each piece.

I found some find paper in my stash and used a marker in my machine to do all the writing.

Next adhere the layer and hero to the front of the cover.

Run a small strip of adhesive at the very top on the inside to keep the sucker inside of the cover.

Here is a picture of the finished project! Have a great day and enjoy the Super Bowl

Sweet Valentine!

2016-02-06T14:48:00.002-06:00

Happy Saturday! Have you been creating cards for next weekend? Valetine's Day is less than a week. Will you be the one in the stores fighting over V-Day cards for your little ones? I will demo a easy card to make to save you some cash. Come back tomorrow to view all the details.

Today's card is a cute one.

Not too long ago I posted I printed lot of cuties from Silhouette design store and this owl is from there. I bought an inexpensive paper stack from Hobby Lobby and cut into little layers.

I reused a stamp set I already had from stampin up and Boom, the card is finished. Have a great day and come back tomorrow to see inexpensive way to make a card set for Valentine.

Just Scrap It!

2016-01-30T11:36:00.000-06:00

Happy Saturday! I hope you having a great day! I am so happy it is the weekend. It is a beautiful day with the high close to the 80s. Yay! I love it when it warm in January. Well, if you haven't noticed that this is the last weekend in January, so that means Valentine is right around the corner. I am making cards like crazy. Let's begin with this card today. If you have scraps, get them out! I used a lot of scraps to make my card. Then I layered my scraps in unconventional way. I will be back tomorrow. Have a fantastic day!

Happy Sunday! I hope you are enjoying your day. With the recent snow storms on the east coast, I felt compelled to do a card to bring a smile. It is a pretty basic card. A2 size with a small layer that I stippled around the border. I found this cute bunny in the silhouette design store and used the print & cut feature.

Again I used this sequins to add an additional texture to my card.

Here is the cute bunny up close and personal.

I hope you enjoyed my card today. I will see you later this week!

Happy Birthday!

2016-01-18T08:00:00.000-06:00

It's all about the layers, the layers, the layers, no flatness. OK, super cute card coming to the blog today. Yesterday's card was a little more mature, but this is more my style. Bright colors, tons of layers, and pure cuteness. I did a print and cut from silhouette design store and matched my layers to the owl. I just randomly cut different sizes and adhered them to the card. This card was easy, simple, and cute! See you later this week!

Celebrate!

2016-01-17T09:43:00.000-06:00

Happy Sunday! I so wanted to get my card up yesterday, but I decided to take small nap. SOOOO...I will post my card today and tomorrow. As you already know, I am rebuilding my stash for the year and I need a lot of birthday cards. I typically use a lot of cakes, balloons, and cherries, but this time I did a mature theme, flowers. This set is from Stampin Up and I used colored pencils to color the flower. Super cute and super sweet!

Join me tomorrow for another card.

Have a great Sunday!!!

You're Pur-fect fur Me!

Happy Sunday! Thanks for stopping by my page today. I was digging through my closet today and found tons of gems in there. I found my coloring tools!!! Oh, how I love them. I started stamping because I absolutely love coloring. So tested my tools and everything is in good working condition. My master plan was to make a card using a hand colored die from a Cricut cartridge.

This is a 4.25x 5.5in card. The layers are 2.5x 5.5in for DSP with one over lapping the other. The cat is from is cut to 3 in with circle at 3.5in.

I cut the cat out of white card stock and colored it with colic markers. SO MUCH FUN! See you later this week.!

You're Simply Wonderful

Happy Saturday! I hope your week was filled with lots of laughs and hugs. I have a new addiction and it is creating shaker cards. I love the way it sparkles and brightens someone's day instantly. I spent a lot of time at JoAnn picking and buying sequins and glitter.
Let me share a little about my card. I used a die cutter to cut the heart in the center of my page. I did this for both the top layer and the fun foam behind it. Then I sprinkled tons of glitter and sequins in the center. Lastly, I adhered everything together.

Here is a picture of my card standing.

Have a great day and I will see you tomorrow!

Sending Sparkly Love Your Way

2016-01-02T11:16:00.001-06:00

Hello Crafters! I hope you are having a great 2016 so far. I have been looking at my page and it has been a very long time since I have posted something, BOO. I got some new things over the last year and I wanted to begin card making again. My card stash is gone and now it time to make a new one.

To kick off the season, I am made a sparkly shaker card for my sister whom just had surgery early this week.

One of my new toys is the Project Life Fusing tool. It is 50% off this week at Michaels ($14.99 with the coupon. I used so old scrapbook page protectors and fused them together trapping the sparkly sequins. The stamp set is from Stampin Up.

I will try to post twice a week for now while building my endurance. Have a fantastic day!

Happy Tuesday! My week is completely off with Monday being a holiday. I kept thinking all day that today was Monday. I guess I need a little sleep. Here is my second card of the week.

You got to love the 3d stickers and fun paper. It makes my card making process easy.

I used the same paper stack and stickers from Sunday. This card took less than ten minutes to make, beat that.

Here is a close up on the little guy. You cannot tell in this picture but that black paper is glittered out. I love it. Enjoy and I will see you later this week.

The Monster Bash!

2014-10-12T14:49:00.000-05:00

Happy Sunday and thank you for making me part of your day! WOW, it has been a very long time since I have written a post. It is mainly because my weekends are extremely full and when it is not, I am trying to catch up on sleep. This weekend I had chance to go out to Joann's and Hobby Lobby to spend some birthday money. (I haven't been to Joann's Fabric is months) I got a gift card for my birthday and it was burning a hole in my pocket.
While shopping at Joann's, I found some fun papers and stickers for Halloween. Then it dawned on me, Halloween is three weeks away!!! I have no cards or projects to give out. Shaking my head, I grabbed DCWV Fall & Halloween paper stack and Paper House 3D stickers.

My first card turned out really cute! All I did was adhered everything down to the base card. Easy!

I saw this sticker and first thing came to mind is the song "The Monster Mash".

Frankie is way out of line for dressing like this. Maybe he needs to cut back on those muffins.

Here is the final card. I hope you enjoyed my card today. I reinstating my goal of three posts a week. Come back for more this week!

Another sign!

This is the last week before my kids go back to school so I am furiously making shirts, gifts, and hair bows. All week long it will be about school "stuff".

Today I made a door hanger my daughter's teacher. I just need add a bow to the top and we will deliver it on Meet the Teacher night. If you would like one for your special teacher, please send me an email or text. I would be more than happy to personalize it for you.

I covered the name with felt to conceal my daughter's teacher.

Happy Saturday! This is the last day for Christmas in July and I made it! I am so glad I made something for 7 days straight. It was very energizing!

I made another gift for Christmas and of course I made it on my embroidery machine.

This cup will sure to bring a warm smile to someone this holiday season. Because it is normal color the recipient can use it all winter.

Thank you for spending the week with me. I will post some this week but as much as seven days in the row. I have a few workshops this week and that will take up some of my time.

Fabric Coaster

2014-07-25T10:34:00.001-05:00

TGIF! Happy Friday! I hope you are enjoying your day. Today is Fabric Friday and since we are celebrating Christmas in July, I am making a gift with fabric. I made this on my embroidery machine and it was a fast craft.

Who says that Christmas gift must be in the traditional colors. Not me!

I could easily make a set of coasters for my friends for Christmas. It can be done with the family's initials or an appliqué. The possibilities are endless.

Have a great day and see you tomorrow for the last day of Christmas in July!

Snowflakes are Kisses from Heaven

2014-07-24T11:38:00.001-05:00

Happy Thursday! One of my favorite activities to do in the winter is to play in the snow so I had to create a snowflake card.

I found this penny slider card on the silhouette online store from my favorite designer. If you don't have a silhouette but have a Cricut Explore, you can buy this cut file to use with your cricut.

I love using one color family to make a card. The snowflake paper is from Martha Stewart stack and the other blues are from Stampin Up.

I usually will use my handwriting for sentiments in small spaces but I just could not pull it off. I typed this in MS Word and used a Stampin Up punch to perfect my sentinment.

I hope you have a wonderful day and I will see you tomorrow!
