Eat Cake Bear Card



Hello everyone! This is the card that I made to enter into Tattered Time's CCCC and Scrappy Moms Stamps Terrific Tuesday challenges. Both challenges require that you use Camping Critters. I thought this would make a great guy birthday card!
I made the card base by welding 2 postage stamps together in my Gypsy from Create A Critter. The bear was cut at 3.5 inches from Camping Critters. I used a white gel pen to highlight his eyes and napkin. I also used a marker and colored his nose black. The cake was cut from Simply Charmed at 2 inches and I omitted the face. To finish my card I tied the ribbon, stamped the sentiment, and added a white stitching line around the outside of the card. I hope you all are having a great day and thanks for looking!

Strawberry Card


Hello everyone and HAPPY FRIDAY! This is the card that I made to enter into Fantabulous Cricuts challenge. This week the challenge is to use a melon or some other fruit.
I made the card base in my Gypsy by welding 2 scallop frames together at 5 inches from Live Simply. I cut the rest of the mats at the same size. The strawberry was cut from Simply Charmed at 3.5 inches. I printed the sentiment off my computer and hand cut the tag. To finish I added twine and attatched the tag to it. I hope you all like my card and have a great weekend!

Just Be-Paws


Hello everyone! Here is the card that I made for Peachy Keen's LFIF challenge #20. This time the challenge is "So Punny". Use a pun on your project along with a PK face.
I made my card in my Gypsy by welding 2 postage stamps together from Create-A-Critter. The dog was cut from Four Legged Friends at 3 inches. I chalked around his body and stamped his face with a Peachy Keen face stamp. I stamped the sentiment which was from the Scrappy Mom's Furry Friends stamp set. It origanally said Just Be-Claws and I stamped everything except for the C and L and replaced them with a P. The sentiment tag was cut from Once Upon A Princess and the center white I punched with a Fiskars punch. To finish I added a stitching line around the card and sentiment tag and added ribbon. I hope you all like my card and thanks for looking! Have a great day!

CTO Blue and White Challenge

Hello everyone! It's time for a new challenge at Celebrate The Occassion! This time the challenge is to use the colors BLUE and WHITE.
My card is pretty simple. I think this type of card would make a great sympathy card by just changing the sentiment. But I wanted something cheery so this is what I did. I cut the decorative frame and mat from Storybook and 3.5 inches. I used my white gel pen and did some hilighting and dots on the flowers to make them stand out more. I stamped the sentiment and mounted it on pop dots.. The background I embossed with Sizzix Flower Vine folder and added a ribbon. Very simple! :)
I hope you all liked my card and will play along this week. I can't wait to see what you will create! Have a great day!

Nuttin's Better Than Christmas!


Hello everyone! Here is the card that I made to enter into My Craft Spots Monday challenge. This week the challenge is Christmas in July.
I cut the beaver from Winter Frolic and stamped his face with a Peachy Keen face stamp. I used my white gel pen and added the stripes to the scarf and dots to the hat. I also chalked his tail and cheeks and used a black pen to highlight his body. I stamped the sentiment using a Scrappy Mom's stamp combined with  a Christmas stamp. I used a punch for the snowflake and added white gems using my I-Rock.
I hope you all liked my card and thanks for looking. Have a great day!
P.S. I am going to be out of town at my sister's Bridal Shower, so if any of you are planning on attending My Pink Stamper Live tonight, and by some miracle I make her Design Team, could you leave me a comment? And or let her know where I am if she asks if I am there? I really have my fingers crossed! :) I will be checking on my phone! Thanks so much!

No Monkey Buisness



Hello everyone! Here is the card that I made for More Than Favors CCCC challenge. This week the challenge is to use Sweethearts.
I made my card using the scallop square from Accent Essentials in my Gypsy by welding 2 together. For the mats I used the rounded square from George and Basic Shapes. One I cut slightly smaller for the mat. I cut the monkey from Sweethearts. I chalked all around his body and his cheeks. I used a white and black pen to do the highlights and mounted his face on pop dots. The bananas were cut from Smiley Cards and I chalked around the edges, used a white gel pen and a brown colored pencil for the hightlights. I also mounted the bananas on pop dots. To finish I did dots around the outside of the card, stamped the sentiment, and hung the monkey from some chocolate truffle twine.
I hope you all are having a great day and thanks for looking!
