Girly Grad Cards

Hello everyone! Here are some graduation cards that I did for my Niece and my son's girlfriend. I did each card in the school colors for each girl. I also did a little different sizing on the orange one. That was the second one I did and figured I could go a little bigger on the font. I cut the girl from Forever Young at 4 inches and highlighted her dress with a white gel pen. The grad cap is from Everyday Paper Dolls that I custom sized in my Gypsy. The font was cut at 1.5 inches and the 2011 was cut at .5 inches from Plantin Schoolbook. To finish I tied a ribbon and stamped the "congrats". I am going to enter this into My Craft Spot's Monday Challenge #8 which the theme is "congratulations". I hope you all like my cards and thanks for looking! Have a great day!

Ruff Day?

Hello everyone! I am sorry I haven't posted for awhile but I have been getting my craft room ready for my new toy. I ordered an Imagine! I have been on the fence about it since it first came out and finally decided to take the plunge. I am VERY excited and can't wait to start playing with it! OK on to my card.

I made this card for My Creative Time's Throwback Thursday challenge. This time the challenge is to use Doodlecharms or any older cart and use the color blue. All of my cuts I made with Doodlecharms. I made the card by cutting 2 of the dog houses at 5 inches and I welded a shape to the bottom to fill in the door using my Gypsy. I assembled the card together by putting a brad through both layers at the top so it slides open. I cut the dog house slightly smaller for the front. I embossed the roof with the diamonds Cuttlebug folder and pop dotted it to the card. I cut the dog at 2 inches and added some white highlights and Glossy Accents to his nose. The sentiment I printed off my computer and matted it to add to the front. The inside I stamped using 2 different stamps to get the sentiment I wanted. As you can see I messed it up but you know, it is handmade after all and can't always be perfect! :) I hope you all will also go check out Whimsical Wednesdays challenge this week which is to make a shaped card! I will be adding this there too. I hope you all are having a wonderful day and thanks for looking!

Rock'n Birthday Card

Hello everyone! Here is the card that I did for Scrappy Mom's Terrific Tues. challenge and My Craft Spot. Scrappy Mom's challenge was to use Once Upon A Princess and My Craft Spots was to bling it up! I cut the girl from Once Upon A Princess at 4 inches. I used glossy accents on her belt, shoes, and hat and embossed her hair with Divine Swirls Cuttlebug folder. The sentiment tag is a punch and I stamped the sentiment. To finish I tied a ribbon and added gems to the corner of the card as well as on the sentiment frame. I hope you all are having a great day and thanks for looking!

BTW, This card is SO much cuter in person. It looks washed out in the pics! :(

Smiley Sun

Hello everyone! Here is the card that I did for Card Creations and More by C's So Saturday challenge #9. This time the challenge is embossing. I think this card is so cute. It just makes you smile. I cut the sun from Smiley Cards at 3 inches. I highlighted him with my white gel pen on his eyes, cheeks, and tongue. The bottom half of the card I embossed with Sizzix Twizzle folder. I added a bow and stamped the sentiment. I hope you all are having a wonderful day!

CTO Challenge # 13

Hello everyone and welcome to another challenge at Celebrate The Occasion! This week the challenge is to make a wedding card and you must include a ribbon. I hope you will play along.

For my card I wanted something simple yet elegant. I think I achieved what I was going for. This card is actually pretty big... 4 1/4 by 8 1/2. I cut the cake from Sweethearts at 3 inches. I cut all the layers in white and colored in some of it with a silver pen. I embossed it with Swiss Dots folder and pop dotted the cake layers. I embossed 3/4 of the background paper with the Sizzix Twizzle folder and tied a ribbon at the end of the embossing. To finish I stamped the sentiment. I hope you all will give this challenge a try and I can't wait to see what you'll create! Have a wonderful day and thanks for looking.

NSD Challenge #12

Hello everyone! I DID IT! I completed all the challenges for My Pink Stampers NSD challenges! This is for the final challenge and was a kids theme. I embossed the background with Spots and Dots and I cut the robot dog from Robots at 3 inches. I used my white gel pen to highlight him and I put him on an action wobble to go with the sentiment. I tied a ribbon and stamped the sentiment. I hope you all liked seeing my National Scrapbook Day projects! Have a Happy Mothers Day everyone!
