Vacation Cards

Hey y'all! Happy Wednesday! I hope you all are enjoying a great week! I have been busy sewing, but made it to my scrapbooking desk today to work on some cards. My Mom, Dad, and their BFF's (Ray & Kathy) are cruising this week! Lucky Dogs! Tee hee! It is a 7 day, 6 night cruise and they are visiting several islands. Oh my, how I wish I was with them!!! I love cruising!

BUT since I couldn't go I figured I can go in spirit, so I sat down and made them each a card using some Momenta goodies. I thought I would send these cards out today so that each of them will have a card in their mailbox when they arrive home. I thought I would let them know that I hope they all had a fabulous time. Here is what I came up with...

"Memories"

Momenta Supplies Used

PA-2250 FAO 12x12 Prem Paper Pad

His & Her's

Hey y'all! Happy Monday! Checking in here with you on this rainy day...well it is rainy here in PA. We have had rain all weekend and it has gotten a little chilly! Brrr! But, the rain provided the perfect excuse for me to stay in and work at my scrapbooking desk. I was able to create 2 cards during the rain that I would like to share with you today. I created cards for 'him' and for 'her.' I am always needing a mix of cards for both women and men in my card stash, so I am glad I got these finished.

First up, I have a masculine card. I thought I would give this to my husband one day for a 'just because' sort of thing. I like to leave cards around for him for no special reason. I sometimes sneak them in his lunchbox before he heads to work, in his truck, on his pillow before bed, etc. It's just a little something sweet I like to do to always remind him that I love him. He seems to enjoy it too. Tee hee!

"You're Out Of This World"

Supplies Used

Cardstock: The Paper Studio, Core'dinations, The Paper Company

Patterned Paper: Studio Calico

Rhinestones: Michael's

Glitter Glue: Stickles (Ranger Industries)

Stamp: My Craft Spot

Ink: Stampin' Up!

Electronic Cutter: Cricut Expression (Provo Craft)

Software: Cricut Gypsy

Cartridge Used: Birthday Cakes

Adhesive: Helmar, Beacon Adhesives

I found this cute robot and the gears on the Cricut Birthday Cake cartridge. I used my Gypsy to weld the shadow of each shape together to create a shaped card.

 I added rhinestones for dimension and a bit of glitter glue to a few of the gears. Also, I used pop dots to pop up the top layer of the robot just for that extra layering effect.

 I used a stamp from My Craft Spot for the inside of the card.

 After finishing  the card for 'him,' I got to work on a card for 'her.' I thought I might send this to my Dad so that he will have a card for my Mom sometime. I thought it would be a nice everyday card or for anniversary/Valentine's Day.

"Sweetheart, My Heart Belongs To You"

Supplies Used

Cardstock: The Paper Studio, Core'dinations

Patterned Paper: Urban Lily, Jillibean Soup, Momenta

Rhinestones: Michael's

Pearls: Queen & Co.

Pin: Jenni Bowlin Studio

Stamps, Crinkle Ribbon, Twine: My Craft Spot

Ink: Stampin' Up!

Marker: Sharpie

Electronic Cutter: Cricut Expression (Provo Craft)

Software: Cricut Gypsy

Cartridges Used: Wild Card, Accent Essentials, Celebrate With Flourish

Adhesive: Helmar, Scotch

This shaped card is from the Wild Card cartridge. It is one of my favorite Cricut shapes!

 I wanted to mention too that this card is a scraplifted idea...sort of. LOL. I was on Pinterest the other day looking up pink/zebra print things. As many of you know, I have a daughter (a Yorkshire Terrier named Katie Scarlett) that I love to pamper. I am already planning her first birthday party and it will be in a pink/zebra print theme. I came across this awesome chocolate dipped strawberry. Doesn't this look yummy? I adore the colors, the patterns, everything!

 My strawberry is from the Create With Flourish Cricut cartridge.

 I added a twine bow and some rhinestones to the strawberry.

 I used crinkle ribbon to tie a bow on the edge. I then added a pin for a little extra detail.

 I popped up the strawberry using pop dots.

 For the inside, I added more patterned paper and stamps from My Craft Spot.

I hope you have enjoyed these 2 cards and that they will inspire you to create!

Happy Scrappin'!!!

Sweet Birthday Wishes

Hey y'all! Happy Friday! I wanted to hop online right quick to share a card I just finished up. My Mom texted me this afternoon to let me know that a coworker of hers needed a card for her daughter's upcoming birthday. Since Mom is headed for her cruise (lucky dog! LOL), I told her I would help out and make the card for her. She showed me a sketch at Mojo Monday that she liked and I used it as inspiration. Here is my final project:

"Sweet Birthday Wishes"

 I ordered this southernbelle stamp a few years ago on Ebay. I cannot remember the mft, but it sure is cute! The sentiment stamps and crinkle ribbon are from My Craft Spot.

 The die cut that I stamped 'sweet birthday wishes' on was pulled from my scrappy stash. I have had it for many years and glad I was finally able to use it up!

 Oh, how I love me some crinkle ribbon!

 I used pop dots to pop up my tag a bit.

 The inside is finished off with more coordinating patterned paper and a stamped sentiment from My Craft Spot.
