Grad Owl Gift Card Box

Hello everyone! I made this owl graduate box with Card Creations and More by C's So Saturday Challenge # 8 in mind. The challenge is to make anything except a card or layout. I know so many kids this year graduating that I wanted to do something neat to put gift cards into. I can't claim this as my own idea. I saw several things at Creations on Paper and put 2 of them togehter. For this box info I am going to put it into a list

1 pillow box cut at 7 inches from Wrap It Up

3-3inch scallop circles cut from Birthday Bash- 1 from gray cut in half for wings, 1 from white for belly, and 1 from orange to make the feet

3- 3/4 inch circles- 1 gray cut in half for eyelids, 2 white for outer eye

2- 1/2 inch circles for inside eye

1- beak cut from Hoot N Holler at 2 inches

1- graduation cap cut from Everyday Paper Dolls at 5 inches

For the diploma I rolled a piece of paper and tied a gold cord to it.
I hope you all like my grad box and have a great day!

Peachy Keen LFIF Altered Card Storage

Click here for the BE MINE BLOG HOP

Hello everyone! Here the altered card box that I did for Peachy Keen's LFIF challenge. The challenge is to alter something into a card storage box. The first picture is what I started with...a leftover box from Christmas. I removed the ribbon handle and covered the whole box with decorative paper. I then added a new ribbon for the handle and also a trim to the top of the box. I cut the owl from Hoot N Holler at 3 inches and instead of using the flower in his belly I added a heart. The phrase was also cut from HNH but I added a heart instead of the word love. I used my Peachy Keen face stamps and stamped the faces on the hearts on the front as well as the sides. I am also going to enter this into the Creative Cutter Room Design Time Thursday Challenge which is Love Notes.... make a card or treat box. I hope you like my altered box and thanks for looking! Have a great day!

Happy Monday all! If any of you have the Gypsy and were looking forward to getting your new carts via download, it don't look so good. I got up at 6 a.m. to do mine and the new carts are all showing up red! :( Hopefully PC will be able to figure this out quickly....I was so looking forward to playing with my Gypsy today! Well, on to my card. I created this card to enter into Jitterbuggin's challenge this week. You were to make a card using a circle, square, and an owl in it. I cut my owl from Hoot N Holler at 2 inches. The circle frame is cut from George at 2.5 inches that I pop dotted to a solid circle. I also created the card in my Gypsy using Storybook for the scallop card cut at 5 inches. The sentiment is a My Favorite things stamp. I hope you all have a great day and lets hope we can get our Gypsy downloads today!! Good luck everyone!

Folded Window Owl Card

Good morning everyone! I decided to try something new and made a folded window card. I followed the tutorial here. Sherri over at Jitterbuggin had this option added into this weeks challenge. I decided to go for it and it sure was easy! And the end result is great! I love the look of this folded frame. I used double sided paper to make my folded frame and I used 2 of my favorite colors. Teal and celery green. I also cut this owl from Hoot N' Holler at 2 inches. I cut the scallop cirlcle from Accent Essentials at 4.5 inches. This card turned out so cute! I hope you all like it too.

I am entering this into Jitterbuggins Challenge and also Cricut Cardz Challenge which was scalloped circle, square, etc.

Zoo Friends Mini Album

Fantabulous Cricut is having an animal theme shaped mini album challenge. They are giving away a Celebrations Cricut Cartridge as the prize, so I decided to make one. This is my first shaped mini album. I had alot of fun making it. I designed my book in Design Studio and used old cereal boxes instead of chip board. Most of the animals are cut from Create A Critter, even the double sided bird that is actually a tag and can be pulled up. Some of the other things were cut from B is for Boy (Kangaroo) and the branches from the giraffe page were cut from Hoot N' Hooler. I don't own a Bind It All, so I tied my book together with ribbon. I hope you are having a great weekend!
I had to post all the pics in seperate posts so please scroll down to see the rest of the book.

3 pm CC Christmas Layout

3 pm Cuttlebug Challenge
For this challenge you were to make a scrapbook layout and do 2 kinds of dry embossing with one of them being a punch that's embossed. For my layout I cut 3 polar bears from Live Simply and tore a piece of white cardstock to make it look like snow. I then embossed it with Divine Swirls and mounted it on behind the bears. The snowflakes are punched out and them embossed with Swiss Dots. The phrase is actually fromv2 different carts. The "Christmas" is from Hoot n' Holler( Hoo loves Christmas) and the "A Wish" is from "Make A Wish" from Sweet Treats. I also added little jewels all over the page to give it some sparkle.

Stars and Stripes

Hi eveyone! Here is a card I made for Stamptacular Sunday Challenge Blog. You had to include stripes, stars, and a stamp. I used striped paper, a star brad, and the sentiment is stamped. Although you didn't have to make this a 4th of July card, it's that time of year and thought it would be fun. I also entered this card in Cricut Cardz Challenge. The challenge there is to make a 4th of July card.I hope you all have a great 4th and God Bless America!

Tri Fold Shutter Card

Here is a tri fold shutter card that I did for a thank you. I never did a card like this before and thought since I had some time I would try it. It looks very difficult, but in fact it's pretty simple. I watched this tutorial on how to do it:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=su-3T3sd4r0

I used Hoot 'n' Holler for the owl and George for the ovals. Hope you like it! Have a great night!
