Happy St. Patrick's Day

this was a freebie at Bugaboo Digital Stamps Smile so adorable an just perfect for card making. I colored him with Copic markers and a dab of gold on his hat.

I used my circle spellbinders to cut and emboss,then I used CCR to cut the scallop circle mat. The digi is up on one thickness of foam tape. The tab/banner comes from the Artiste cartridge. My sentiment stamps on the inside  comes from The Stamps of Life.

All of the paper and cardstock is from my stash.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

I followed her card and added embossing with Forest & Branches Cuttlelbug folder to the grass, Glossy Accents on the bears nose and Perfect Pearls to the light silver pieces of the trash can.The sky paper was printed from one of my Imagine carts Smile

Just had to do

I saw this card HERE in the March issue of CARDS on pg. 18, and had to make for my stash! This little fella is so adorable.   Lawn Fawn is where the paper and the stamp set comes from.

I cut the speech bubbles from Cricut basic and shapes included with my E2 and CCR. The sentiments are stamped using a Birthday greetings set from Hot Off the Press I picked up at AC Moore for $1.00!!!! that was a great haul :)

ribbons and embroidery thread and buttons are from my stash.

Oh and I got to use my new personalized stamp from Stamps{of} Life

For Fun

I saw this cute little stamp set on My Favorite Things Blog that I subscribe to and I JUST had to get it!! My sister says this ALL THE TIME :) I colored her in with my copics and then paper pieced her top and pants. The papers are from my Club Scrap stash.. I love their cardstock! The little banner for the sentiment is hand cut, and the buttons and gems are stash also. I cut her using a spellbinder die and inked with Tim Holtz Antique Linen Distress ink. She is mounted on 1 and 2 thickness of 3M foam mounting tape.

It was fun playing with some old time crafty items :)

thanks for looking…

:( TBBM2 not scoring correctly

I am sad.. I went to use my TBBM2 for the 1st time and figured do a dry run since I haven’t used the scoring tool yet.

Well, I am so so glad I did because it is not scoring in the proper areas :(

I’m going to give Provo Craft a call and see what we can do to fix this. I so wanted to make a cute little recipe box for my co-worker for New Years… not….

I tried 2 times, once for the separate piecing and once for the entire cut

Gift Card for Matt

Alison asked if I would make her a card for Matt. She surfed Pinterest and got some ideas and then we looked at the cartridges I had :) She wanted an Owl and we found this cutie on Hoot n Holler!

He was cut at 3” and the saying was scaled to fit. I used a couple of sizzix cuttlebug embossing folders and some stickles on the berry. I also used a stamp set from Cardztvstamps.com for the sentiment inside. I made this into a 3fold type card 5X7

Christmas Advent Calendar

 

 

 

This is a countdown calendar that I got a few years back. It is by Karen Foster and is available at Jo-Ann’s right now and on SALE!! I just ordered 2 more! :) !! so I can make some for gifts. The two I am working on right now are for my 2 Girls. One of whom has her own apt. now and could use some holiday decorations. I designed the template in CCR using the craftroom basics shapes and I have uploaded the file to 4share if anyone would like it. I will post up a finished picture when I complete it with all the other little details.

I’d love to see yours if you do one up. If you have any problem with the file please email me.

One of the next ones I do, I am going to do it double sided! Halloween and Christmas :)
