In The Mood For Cards!!!

Hey y'all! Hello again! Two blog posts in one day...I'm on a roll! I sat down at my desk tonight and created a few simple, clean line cards. While scrappin', I listened to/watched that Disney movie 'Pocohontas.' So I was able to finish all of these during the movie. So 3 cards in a little over an hour is not too bad.

First up, I wanted to play along with this weeks challenge at "She's A Sassylady." This weeks challenge is to make a card, any card, AND double it. This way we can use up those scraps and have double the cards in our card stash! What a great idea! If you'd like to play along in the challenge too, go HERE.

Now, I saw a card a few weeks ago in a magazine that had the cutest little TV stamp and the words 'you turn me on' stamped on there. Well I just had to re-create this card. It really made me giggle! So I figure I'll keep one of these cards and put it out for my hubby one day for no reason. Then I thought I'd send the other one to my Mom so she can give it to my Daddy (from her of course) for a chuckle. Here is my take on it...

"You Turn Me On"

Supplies

Pre-Printed Card Base: The Paper Studio

Cardstock: The Paper Studio

Patterned Paper: Die Cuts With A View

Pearls: Queen & Co

Corner Punch: EK Success

Electronic Cutter, Cartridge: Cricut (Provo Craft), Mickey & Friends

Software: Cricut Gypsy (Provo Craft)

Font: Bradley Hand

Other: craft wire

Adhesive: Helmar Quick Fix Adhesive Runner, Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive, Helmar Zap Dots, Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots

I cut the little retro looking TV out using my Cricut and the 'Mickey & Friends' cartridge. I created the antenna using some craft wire and adhered it to the back using my Liquid Scrap Dots. I popped it up using Zap Dots. I printed my phrase onto some cardstock using my computer. And of course since the challenge required you to make double, I made 2.

 Here's a closer view of my card. I am really loving this patterned paper from DCWV. It's so pretty!

 A bit of dimension...

 Next up, I am participating in a little project on the DIY Scrappy Message Board. We are all getting together and creating cards for 'Operation Write Home.' This is a program where crafters make cards and they send them over to our troops so they can write back home to their loved ones. I have always wanted to participate in something like this, so I am so happy Vicky got this started over on DIY. We are doing a 30 day challenge. You make a card a day for 30 days and all of those will go to the troops. The cards need to be A2 sized and CANNOT contain glitter.  If you are interested in playing along, go HERE for all the details.

Now, each day we are given instructions for our card. Today's challenge was to create a card with a pinwheel on it. Here is what I came up with. I kept it very simple and did not add much dimension at all. This way it fits into the envelope nicely.

"With Love"

Supplies

Pre Printed Card Base: The Paper Studio

Patterned Paper: Die Cuts With A View

Rhinestones: Queen & Co

Button: The Paper Studio

Rub On: Kaisercraft

Corner Punch: EK Success

Electronic Cutter, Cartridge: Cricut (Provo Craft), Home Decor'.

Adhesive: Helmar Quick Fix Adhesive Runner, Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive

To create the pinwheel, I cut out 4-1 inch circles using my Cricut. I cut 2 in a bold pattern and 2 in a neutral pattern. I then cut each circle in half and alternated them to create the pinwheel.

 I lifted up the edges of the pinwheel a bit.

Thanks for stoppin' by! Have a great weekend!

Happy Scrappin'!!!

Ticket To Ride

Happy Saturday Everyone! I hope you are having a grand weekend so far! I have a new project to share with you today. I have been working on this project all week long! I don't think I have ever worked on a project as long as I worked on this one. I wanted to add a lot of fun details and it took me a bit of time. But, it was all well worth it because I am so happy with this project! I just love anything that is carnival/county fair themed. So I have created a 'Carnival Funhouse' Gift Box that is filled with 10 cards. Here is my finished project:

"Carnival Funhouse" Gift Box

Supplies

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

Patterned Paper: Sassafras

Rhinestones, Pearls: Queen & Co

Ribbon: Offray

Lace: Fancy Pants Designs

Glitter Glue: Stickles (Ranger Industries)

Ink: Colorbox (Clearsnap)

Pen: Stampin' Up!

Electronic Cutter: Cricut Expression (Provo Craft)

Electronic Cutter Software: Sure Cuts A Lot (Craft Edge)

SVG's: SVG Cuts (and I handmade a few myself)

Adhesive: Helmar Quick Fix Adhesive Runner, Helmar 450 Quick Dry, Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots, Helmar Zap Dots, Helmar Fray Stoppa, Helmar Gemstone Glue

My gift box was created by using the 'Peony Cottage' gift box file found HERE at SVGCuts.com. If you have SCAL, I highly recommend this set of files! This Peony Cottage is so versatile! It can be turned into anything from a cute little house, to a haunted house, to a gingerbread house, to a carnival funhouse! LOL. AND they are having a sale right now! So scoop it up while you can! Also, I used a set of files called 'A Day At The Carnival', also from SVGCuts.com. Those can be found HERE. I created the 'coaster tracks' and 'half circle scalloped banner' myself using Inkscape. If you would like either the coaster tracks or the banner svg's, shoot me an email at aymee810@yahoo.com and I'll be glad to share with ya!

I wanted my funhouse to have a roller coaster ride going around the outside and 'into the funhouse.' As you can see, the riders of the coaster go around the box and then 'inside the mouth' of the clown to ride on the inside in the dark. I adhered my coaster tracks so that they are going up and down. This also gave my gift box a lot of dimension.

(Note: You can click on any of these pictures to make them bigger and then just hit the back button to return to this post.)

I wanted the rooftop of my house to resemble the red/white striped tents you see at the carnival. To achieve this look, I first cut out my rooftop in red and put it together as per the instructions. I then cut out the roof again in white and used my scissors to hand cut the stripes at an angle. The lines aren't perfectly spaced, but I was pleased with how they came out. Also, around the roof, I placed miscellaneous candies and treats like you see painted on the buildings at the fair. I added the half circle banner to also provide some fair looking fun.

 Here is a view of the right hand side of my box. The 3-D windows near the bottom also came with the 'Peony Cottage' set of files from SVG Cuts. I added some cotton candy to the front of my window. And as you can see, the coaster track goes around the window. At the top, I have 2 corn dogs criss crossed. I added a bit of ink to the top portion of the corn dogs to make them more realistic. I also have a little man walking on stilts on the front of my funhouse.

 Here is a view of the left hand side of the funhouse. It pretty much mirrors the right hand side. Also, you can see a car of riders on the coaster tracks going by. I just loved this svg in the set. It's so cute!

 Up close to show the dimension of the window and coaster tracks...

 Here is the back of my funhouse. Again, you see the coaster tracks going around. I added another clown that would thrill the riders as they go by! LOL. For the roof, I added a lighted sign, a few treats, and the word 'funhouse'...all from the 'A Day At The Carnival' SVG set.

 Up close of the car and riders inside...didn't I tell you it was cute?! I love SVG Cuts.com!!!!

 I adhered this car at an angle using my Liquid Scrap Dots.

 Now, here is a view of the roof being taken off to show the gift box inside...

 I have 10 A2 sized note cards and envelopes tucked inside.

Now, since my funhouse was so ornate, I decided to go more simple with the note cards that were tucked inside.

"Funhouse" Note Cards

It's A Card Making Kind Of Day

Hey Everyone! Happy Wednesday! I hope you are having a wonderful day! I have 2 new cards to share with you today. This first card was inspired by all of the beautiful twine projects I've been spotting online and in magazines. I am always amazed at what fellow crafters can do with this adorable crafty medium! So I wanted to give some twine a try. For this card, I created a ribbon spool SVG. I cut the spools out of some brown patterned paper that I found in my scraps bin. I then put some adhesive on the back and wrapped the twine around each spool. I used some pop dots to pop these spools up on my card. I also added a couple of pins to 2 of the spools. The twine and pins on this card could easily be removed and reused by the recipient of this card. 

Also, if you would like this ribbon spool SVG, shoot me an email at aymee810@yahoo.com and I'll be glad to share. I created it this morning especially for this project.

 To show a bit of dimension on the card...

 I added a couple of smaller spools of twine to the inside of the card.

Now on to the next card. This morning I was blog hopping and visited the fabulous Momenta Blog! I am so glad I did because I saw a card by Christine Meyer that was just the cutest! Christine showed how to use your border punch and paper scraps to create a unique look. Check out her project HERE. Isn't that the cutest?!!! I hope Christine won't mind me lifting her idea. I had purchased the punch she used a few weeks ago and haven't used it too much. So I just had to give this a go and I'm so glad I did! It's a great way to use up scraps and to add a pop of color! Thank you Christine for the wonderful inspiration!!

My Garden Cottage

Happy Monday Everyone! I hope you are having a fabulous day! I have been working at my scrappy desk today and wanted to share my project with y'all. I am playing along in a little challenge at a new forum. It is a forum headed up by Marivic...you may remember her from my post a few days ago. She created the gorgeous handmade tags that I used on a card and an altered frame. HERE is the link to the forum if you are interested. The specs of the 'June Purple Garden' challenge are:

1. Use the colors purple and green

2. Use flowers on your project

3. Project may be layout, card, altered, etc.

4. There are also some pix on the forum that you can use to see the colors you may use in the challenge. I used those pictures to help me pick out my patterned papers.

Purple is not a favorite color of mine. I always seen to have trouble working with it. But I decided to jump feet first into this challenge and give it a go. For my project, I have created a little gift box that is in the shape of a little cottage. I cut this box out using my Cricut, Sure Cuts A Lot Software, and the 'Peony Cottage' SVG set that I purchased at SVGCuts.com. If you would like to check out this set of files, go HERE. Now, I have to be honest, this was not the easiest thing I've ever cut out and put together. I had a lot of trouble getting it put together right. As a matter of fact, I think I have done a few things wrong and had to cover up a few boo boo's. LOL. But I am definitely going to give this a try again...maybe a Halloween or Gingerbread house. All in all though, I was pleased with my results. I am going to display this in my house for a bit. The 'roof' of the house comes off so that you can add things to the inside and make this into a gift box if you would like.

Sew Be It

Hey y'all! How are ya doing? I hope you all had a fabulous weekend! I didn't do too much. My parents had to leave going home on Saturday and I pretty much vegged all day Saturday and Sunday. I did do a bit of house cleaning and the laundry, but that was pretty much it. However, I did muster the energy to make it to my scrappy desk this evening for a bit. LOL. So I wanted to share what I accomplished with you guys. Here we go...

I don't know about y'all, but I love to create my own decor' to go into my scrappy studio. I just love that extra personal touch it gives to my space. Well I was looking at my sewing desk the other day and noticed how lonely it looked. So I decided to alter up a frame to add a bit of pizazz to the space. I purchased a frame at Big Lots for...drum roll please....$6!!! It's very ornate and fancy schmancy! I love buying frames at Big Lots! Cheap, cheap, cheap let me tell ya! Since my space is decorated in hot pink and lime green, I decided to go with a pink frame.

 This flower was created using my Cricut, SCAL software, and SVG's from svgcuts.com. The flower/leaves are from a set called "Lunch With Mom." If you are interested in seeing this set, HERE is the link. This is such a cute SVG set! I just love it! I added a little embellishment that looks like a ribbon spool to the inside of the flower. It is from Jolee's.

 Here is a view so you can see the dimension on the flower. I used a combination of 450 Quick Dry, Liquid Scrap Dots, and Zap Dots on this flower.

 I LOVE these alpha's from Momenta! I picked them up at Big Lots as well. Now not only are they bling and beautiful, but they provide great dimension. The butterflies were cut out using my SCAL also. They are included with the SCAL software with the 'spring' svg set. I also added some twine, which I attached with Liquid Scrap Dots.

That's it for me this evening! I'm off to veg some more and watch re-runs of Roseanne. I love that show! I'll probably be back at my scrappy desk tomorrow. I'll be sure to post if I come up with anything. I hope all of you have a fabulous week! Happy Scrappin' to you and thanks for visiting!!!

I love when they come to visit! We laugh a lot! I think we are off to the Civil War Museum in Harrisburg today. But before we get going, I wanted to hop online for a few minutes and do a little blog post.

I have to introduce you all to a fabulous blog! It's called 'Berry 71 Bleu' and is home to one talented scrapbooker named Marivic. She makes the most GORGEOUS tags you have ever seen!

Let me tell you guys, I just stared in awe when the mailman dropped these at my door. Her tags are so ornate and include some adorable embellishments!

 Now, on to my projects. First up, I created an altered frame for my wonderful husband, Brandon. This frame was inspired by a older tune that we like to sing. And this is a special little saying we will tell one another. So I wanted to highlight our little love song into a frame to display in our bedroom.

A 'Thank You' Card

Hey y'all! I hope you are having a fabulous day so far! I sat down this morning in my scrappy studio and created a card that I'd like to share with you today. I created this card to send to my MIL (mother in law). As you may know, we just got back from Alabama visiting family. Well, while we were there, my wonderful MIL and I went to tan almost every day. It was so nice of her to buy my tan package and I had a ball hanging out with her. So I wanted to create a card to let her know how thankful I am. I tell you guys, I am so blessed to have one of the best MIL's on the planet! She is just such a wonderful lady and I think of her as a second mom!

"Thank You" Card

Supplies Used

Cardstock: The Paper Studio, Core'dinations, Bazzill Basics Paper

Patterned Paper: Pink Paislee

Chipboard Alphabet Stickers: BasicGrey

Twine: Divine Twine

Pearls: Queen & Co

Rub On's: Cosmo Cricket, Kaisercraft

Glitter Glue: Stickles (Ranger), Eucalyptus

Embossing Machine: Cuttlebug (Provo Craft)

Embossing Plate: Sizzix (Ellison)

Electronic Software: Sure Cuts A Lot (Craft Edge)

SVG's: My Scrap Chick (Beachy Kids, 30 Boxes & More)

Adhesive: Helmar Quick Fix Adhesive Runner, Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots, Helmar Zap Dots

This card base was cut from cardstock using my Cricut and the 'Square Scallop' card from My Scrap Chick. The card file came along with the '30 Boxes & More' set of svg files that I purchased. If you would like to see those, go HERE. I then layered patterned papers from Pink Paislee and cardstock. The top piece of white cardstock is from the 'Gemstones' Core'dinations collection. I embossed this sheet of cardstock with my Cuttlebug. I created the banner with a svg file that I made myself. I adhered it with my Liquid Scrap Dots. I then added some chipboard alpha's, glitter glue, and twine. I then decided I wanted to create a patterned background, so I used my SCAL to cut out random sized circles for a polka dot background. Here is the front:

For the inside of the card, I wanted to use the oh so cute 'Wendy & Wade/Beachy Kids' SVG files from My Scrap Chick. I just adore these and have been wanting to cut out little Wendy laying on the beach towel for months. So that is what I did for the inside of the card. I made her little bikini and towel match the card. I used some rub-on's from Cosmo Cricket to jazz up the bottle of lotion that is laying on the bottom of the towel a tad. For the sentiment on the inside, that too is a rub on. It's from Kaisercraft. Now isn't little Wendy the cutest?!!! I giggle each time I see her! (If you are interested, HERE is the link to this set of SVG files. You'll have to scroll down a ways to see it.)

 Isn't she adorable all spread out on her towel catching some sun? It makes me want to go and lay out for the day!

 I popped up the banner pieces for some added dimension.

Finished off the back of the card with my custom stamp.

Thanks for droppin' by my blog today! Have a wonderful evening!

Happy Scrappin'!!!

Simple & Quick Cards

Hey y'all! Happy Friday!!! TGIF! The weekend is finally here! I plan on staying home and getting some work done. After returning from our visit in Alabama, I had so much stuff to put away. I finally got everything back in order yesterday. Now I need to organize one little corner of my scrappy studio and then get to work. I have a scrappy to do list that is a mile long! But I am ready to get started! I missed my desk and my space while I was away. So how about you? Anyone have any fun plans for the weekend?!!!

Today I wanted to hop online right quick and blog a little. I made these 2 cards about a month ago and forgot to share them. I noticed them in my pictures folder yesterday while I was cleaning up my computer and decided I better share them before I forget again! LOL. These were both fairly simple and quick to make. First up...

"Thanks"

Supplies Used

Cardstock: Bazzill Basics Paper, The Paper Studio

Patterned Paper: Die Cuts With A View

Rhinestones: Queen & Co

Brads: The Paper Studio

Twine: Divine Twine

Alphabet Stickers: American Crafts

Embossing Machine, Folder: Cuttlebug (Provo Craft), Victoria

Adhesive: Helmar Quick Fix Adhesive Runner, Helmar Zap Dots, Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive

For this card, I played with paper from the new DCWV 'Lemon Flower' stack. The stack has all yellows, greens, blacks, and a bit of silver thrown into the mix. It is different and I really loved all of the glittered papers in there. I decided to make a background pattern with my twine and used brads to lace the twine around creating the pattern. Of course, all this dimension made my alphabet letters hard to adhere. BUT, no fear because Helmar is here!!! Tee Hee! I used 450 on the back of my alpha's to make sure they would be stuck like glue! You'll have to excuse my attempt at humor today...hahaha! :) Here is this one:

"Happy Birthday"

Supplies Used

Cardstock: The Paper Studio

Patterned Paper: Die Cuts With A View

Buttons: Jenni Bowlin Studio

Lace: JoAnn

Stickers: Elle's Studio

Corner Punch: EK Success

Embossing Machine, Folder: Cuttlebug (Provo Craft), Argyle

Adhesive: Helmar Quick Fix Adhesive Runner, Helmar Zap Dots, Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive, Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots

This card took about 15 minutes to pull together, very simple. I used my Liquid Scrap Dots to adhere those fabulous buttons from JBS, which are my favorite thing on this card. The rest I could take or leave. LOL. Isn't that awful not to be crazy about your own art, but for some reason I just could not get this card to look like I had in my mind. I like the papers, but maybe I should of put them together differently. Who knows? It was just an off day I reckon'. But I figure we can't be in love with everything we create, right? Or at least that is how I feel. I hope I'm not the only one. But I thought I'd share it anyways. :)

That is all for me today! I'm off to do a little bit of cleaning and then relax with the hubby while he is home. I hope you all have a fabulous weekend! Take care!

Happy Scrappin'!!!
