Wow, it's been almost an entire year since my last post here. Shame on me! I've had lots going on family wise and now it's time to make so more fun time for ME :)
I've been trying to take inventory of the craft room and I've been watching alot of mini album videos on YouTube. Shelly Geigles is front and center right now.
I hope to get posting again soon!
Hugs, Tina

Happy St. Patrick's Pop Up Box card

This is my 1st try at one of the fun pop up cards! I love how it turned out :)
I altered the cut file from the Silhouette Store by artist Lori Whitlock for the inside holder panels.
The 3 eyed monster is from Lettering Delights Mean and Grrreen cut it set.
Thanks for looking :)

Happy Birthday!

this is a quick card for my youngest daughter Ashton :) I didn't actually have it done in time for mailing or personal delivery.

I used Elegent Edges (loops) for the matting and resized the project idea shown in the cricut book to a card from a 12x12 layout. I used CardzTv stamps for the sentiment cut into a banner. The image is colored with my Copics. I cut the image with my Silhouette.

Hedgies have a special place in her heart and one day she will have one! but for now, Penny Black supplies them :)

card stock is from stash as is the ribbon.

Happy Birthday Ashton!!
Hugs and Love, Mom

Valentine Card

1st Happy Valentine Card for 2014

 I started making a few cards today, and this one has been on my list to do for awhile. I saw similar cards last year and had it on my TO DO List for this year.
I am really pleased how it turned out.
The silhouette is from A Childs Year Cartridge cut at 2.25. The white large doily is from 
Art Philosophy cut at 4.75. The small doily is a 2.25 die  from Taylored Expressions.
I also use an embossing folder by Darice called Hearts :). The Arrow is from the CCR digital images pkg called Arrows. I cut this at 1 inch and then cut into 2 pieces so I could fit it on the card which is 5.5 x 5.5. The mini hearts were cut and punched from various other cartridges using the CCR and my E2 and a Studio G mini punch.
The corners of the black mat were punched with a punch by All Night Media that I had in my collection.
All papers were from my stash and most from AC Moore and Michaels.

Thanks for looking and hope you enjoy :)

Have a great week everyone!

Birthday cards

This past weekend was my sil bday. Aside from making stuffed mushrooms for a celebratory dinner her husband had, I made this special card for her :)


thanks for looking

I'll post the deets after I clean the desk off.. lol

Rosette Goof Ups...

turned out pretty! well, at least I think so :)
The intent was to be part of the Rosette Christmas tree shown on the Close To my Heart Holiday brochere. I ended up putting the rosette together with the decorative side on the inside glued...bahhhhhh
I wanted to do a pre run with different papers before cutting the intended CLMH ones. I goofed not just once, but twice and I definately burned my fingers with the HOT GLUE!
I added a few sequins and a pretty dimensional flower sticker by K C & Co. that was in my stash to each of them and a tulle hanger with a bow.
Here's the result :) thanks for looking

Flip Style Birthday Card

I needed to have a Birthday card for my Office mates husband whose bday is friday.
He is such a wonderful, kind and generous person, I wanted it to be somewhat special :)

My stamps and dies came just in time from StampofLife! yeahhhhhh!
the card cut is from silhouette and I used distress ink for stamping.
thanks for looking :)

Happy Birthday Joe!

This cute Halloween card is totally inspired from Mary at CardzTV

I used additional CardzTv stamp sets , Trick or Treat and Oct 31st. The striped paper is from a Cloud 9 Design seasonal pack that I had in my stash from last year or even prior to that.

Martha Stewart's dripping gooo punch of course and the cricut carts Mary used as well.

I cut the spider web border with my Silhouette and it was a cut from Miss Kate Cuttables.

thanks for looking and Happy Halloween!
