Spring Card using Ippity Stamps

2010-03-30T07:48:00.000-07:00

Here is a Spring card I made this morning using the ippity stamp kit Sweet Thoughts of Spring!!

This card is for 4 challenges... I based this card off of Kazan's Sketch #49 at 2 Sketches 4 You, the ippity challenge this week is to create a Spring based project using ippity stamps, and the challenge at Cuttlebug Challenge blog is to also create a Spring project incorporating the cuttlebug, and an Easter card for the C.R.A.F.T. Challenge.

Here's what I did:

The sentiment, flowers and basket were all stamped with the ippity stamp kit Sweet Thoughts of Spring. I created my own DP using the flower stamp for the background of this card. I used watercolor pencils to color the basket and the flowers. The pink paper was dry embossed using my Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder. The circle was cut out with my Cricut George cart and the edges of the circle and card were both chalked with chalk from Studio G.

2010-03-29T06:00:00.000-07:00

Happy Monday!!
It's a H{ippity} Hop!! This week I decided to use a stamp kit I had not used before for todays
H{ippity} Hop...Fishy Philosophy.

Isn't this stamp kit adorable!!!

I think it's one of my new favs!!! I just loved coloring in that fish..it's such a pretty stamp!!

So here's what I did-

I used my cricut to cut out the circle that I stamped the coral on and then used the remaining paper and foam squares to attach it over the circle to give it depth.

The fish and coral were both colored with watercolor pencils.

I used swiss dots cuttlebug folder to add some dry embossing. The paper is from my stash and I thought it went perfect with these stamps.

You can order this stamp set HERE...

Bookmark for Ippity Challenge

2010-03-11T13:09:00.000-08:00

Here is a bookmark I made for the ippity challenge this week. The challenge was to make something and it had to have dry embossing on it. I chose to make a bookmark.

For this bookmark I used black cardstock, beige cardstock and kraft paper. I used the swiss dots cuttlebug folder. The stamps are from the ippity stamp kit what matters most. The ink is Black Noir Palette Hybrid available from ippity. I added teal rhinestones to the cross stamp. The sentiment is such a beautiful saying I thought it was perfect for a bookmark. I added a button and some black raffia to finish it off. Thanks for looking!!

Craft Challenge Card

2010-03-10T18:45:00.000-08:00

This week the challenge at C.R.A.F.T. is to create a Mother's Day Card or a card with a floral theme. Here is the card I made.

I used paper from my stash on this one. The flower I handmade using some floral paper I had. The sentiment is from the ippity stamp set Regal Greetings and the stamp behind the flower is from the ippity stamp set Love in Return, I stamped it onto kraft paper and then cut it out. The scalloped borders were stamped with the Sweet Thoughts of Spring ippity stamp kit...I just love these scallops the set has 4 different ones, I use them all the time. You can view these sets here. I used ink from ippity in Burnt Umber. The ribbon and buttons are from my stash.

Thanks for looking!!

Paper Popsicles Theme Card

2010-03-10T10:39:00.000-08:00

The theme at Paper Popsicles this week is home...you can make anything with a home theme. I chose to make a shaped card with their free House Shaped Card Template. Here's what I came up with-

I cut the card out on Orange card stock and then added the patterned paper. This is 2 sided DP from K & Co. it's actually from their valentine pack. I cut the little flowers from the paper added a rhinestone to eahc, and added it to some grass I cut out with my Cricut Easter cart. I added a some lines with a dark green colored pencil to the grass to give it some dimension. The stamps are all from the the ippity stamp kit Sweet Thoughts of Spring. I stamped the little chick on yellow cardstock and colored him in with orange and yellow colored pencils, I did a little blending to his tummy. The sentiment and cloud are stamped. I added the edging around the roof this is a scalloped stamped it is stamped onto some pink paper that has a little shine to it..got it at Hobby Lobby..not sure who makes it:) I had a lot of fun with this shaped card! Thanks Paper Popsicles!!

Thanks for looking!!

Birthday Card

2010-03-09T09:05:00.000-08:00

Here's a card I made for Lauras sketch 47 and the 2 Sketches 4 You blog- I just love playing along...they always have such great sketches.

For this card I used DP from My Minds Eye- Quite Contrary, the stamps are ippity- the flowers are from the stamp kit What Matters Most, Happy Birthday is from Lifes little moments I stamped it and cut it out..this was actually a square stamp with a big letter H also but I did not include that, the circles and tag were cut with my cricut, the paper for the tag is coordinations, I sanded it for the teal to show through. I also inked the edges of the circle with my Burnt Umber ink pad and gave it a little pattern. I stitched the edges of the card and the brown DP, and added a little zig zag stitch across the bottom. I finished off the inside with the bottom of the DP I thought it looked perfect for this card because it had the coordinating brown paper already on...it's a way to use the edge:)

Thanks for looking!!

The stamps are ippiy the sentiment is from Sweet Thoughts of Spring and the butterflies are from What Matters Most. I cut the butterflies out and used pop dots to give it dimension. I used paper from both K & Co. and My Minds Eye. I used my sewing machine to stich around the edge of the card and the circle. The green paper was cut at the top to give a little grass look. I colored the butterflies with memory marker and the blue is watercolored. Thanks for looking.

Spring Layout

2010-03-05T16:58:00.000-08:00

Here's a layout I made today for a challenge at Paper Popsicles. The challenge was to make a spring layout with the following recipe- ribbon, button, flower, birds, color pink, & a scalloped edge. I really have only made a couple scrapbook pages but I think I like the way this one turned out. The pics are of one of my daughters when she was a baby I dressed all the girls up in their Easter outfits and we took these pics at home... she was so funny..still is.

I used {ippity} stamps on this layout- the birds of from the kit What Matters Most & the Spring sentiment is from Sweet Thoughts of Spring. The paper is My Minds Eye {ippity} Winter 2010. If you are looking for {ippity} stamps click HERE. The buttons and ribbon are from my stash. The flower is felt. Thanks for looking:)

I made this St. Patty's Day card for the St. Patricks day theme challenge at Paper Popsicles. The paper is from my stash, I cut the hat with the clover on my Cricut- Designers Calendar cart. I used the cuttlebug Stylized Flower folder on the white cardstock square, I also inked and chalked the edges. I chalked around the Hat and the papers and added the little lines to the hat. I used raffia for the right side and made the scallop look. The sentiment was actually the free one from Paper Popsicles this week, I printed it out and layered it onto brown cardstock. I punched a hole in the card stock and tied the ribbon. Thanks for looking!!

The Egg and Happy Easter are from the Easter 2010 Cricut Cart. I cut the egg layered it and chalked the right edgeof the egg. I use my swiss dots cuttlebog folder on the blue rectangle. I added chipboard circles behind the egg and rectangle to pop it out a little. I also hand stitched around the papers and cardstock with a pink memory marker. Added a ribbon and the little pink papers to the egg. On the inside of the card I added so of the DP to finish it off and used another egg with the same cutout as a stencil and colored it in with marker. Thanks for looking!!

Valentine Bouquets

2010-02-13T21:02:00.000-08:00

Die Cuts R Us Love Challenge- Die Cuts R Us is having a challenge anything LOVE themed, so I entered this in. This year I decided to make my daughters gifts for Valentines Day...usually we just get them some candy and a stuffed animal, but they really have too much of both already:) So I decided to make them little Valentine Bouquets..hope I'm spelling that right..lol.

I got the cardstock, vellum, heart suckers, purple glitter hearts, and vases at Michaels. I cut the hearts with the George Cricut Cart in. The ribbon and charms were bought at Hobby Lobby..they were having a huge sale:) I used glue dots to attach the hearts to the little sticks and glued a back heart on to finish them off. I stuffed a little tissue paper in the vase to keep everything from sliding around.

Thanks for looking!!

Here is a card I created based on Laura's Sketch #45 at the 2 Sketches 4 You blog- I have entered it into 2 Challenges...Laura's Sketch #45 at 2 Sketches for You Challenge and Die Cuts R Us- Love theme

I know...another Valentine, but it's that time of the year:) I have 3 daughters, so I had to make them each one. I just love this paper with the robots it's from K& Co....again!! I'm just having so much fun using this pack of valentine paper! My 16 year old actually fell in love with these little robots, so I made this card for her. I drew the Robot myself to make it match the patterned paper and then colored it in with colored pencils. I then cut him out and added some red cardstock to make him stand out against the coordinating teal paper. I used chalk around the edges of the teal and robot paper. The hearts I cut out on my Cricut with the George cart and then Cuttlebugged them with swiss dots, I also chalked the edges of the hearts. I attached them with foam squares to give some dimension. I cut some red card stock and cut it with border scissors and layered it under the ribbon. Thank you for looking!!

Frog themed Valentine- 3 challenges

2010-02-09T15:47:00.000-08:00

I made this card today and entered it into three challenges-

Die Cuts R Us- Love Challenge

Paper Popsicles-Animal Theme

C.R.A.F.T. Challenge- Valentines or Love

I will be giving it to my eight year old for Valentines Day. The paper is from K and Co. I just love these little frogs... I layered the front of the card with the froggy paper, glued ribbon to the back to frame it and glued it to coordinating green paper. The sentiment came with the paper, I cut it out and layered it on some red cardstock. The heart was cut with my Cricut George cart at 2" for the Red and 1" for the pink then layered. I added a foam square to give it dimension. I drew on stitching around all the paper edges & around the hearts I also added some x's and o's to the heart..I added the ribbon and the bow, I think it finishes it off nicely. On the inside I added more of the green paper and another Heart and drew on a little lines to make the heart look like it's bouncing. Thanks for looking!!

Sorry the pics are a little fuzzy..I think my camera needs a new battery!!

Valentines my daughter made!!

2010-02-07T14:28:00.000-08:00

This year we decided to make our own Valentines. My eight year old daughter made her valentines in the shape of an owl. These little Valentines turned out so cute, she absolutely loved making these. Also to my surprise...Dad offered to help!! He doesn't do crafts, so I had to take a picture!! (I think he just wanted to play with my Cricut...lol)

Supplies:

Cricut

Goerge Cart

Easter Cart

Glue Stick

Tape

Card Stock

Heart Shaped Suckers

Here's what we did:

For the shape of the owl my daughter cut 4" Eggs from the Cricut Easter Cart. Then she folded the top of the egg shape to make the face and glued it down. We cut out a triangle to create the ears. She used the triangles and glued them on to make the beaks. For the eyes circle were cut at 1" with the George Cart, and then she drew in the little pupils. The feet were cut also with the George Cart we used the Shift Heart. I helped her cut the little slits in the bottom and we added heart lollipops for the Owls to purch on. Thanks for looking!!

Shop Around for your Cricut Carts to save money!!

2010-02-07T12:47:00.000-08:00

My tip for the week: Looking to buy Carts 4 your Cricut check everywhere especially Ebay...you can save yourself a lot of money!! Here are some deals I found on Ebay- Paper Doll Cart-$33.50 buy it now, Don Jaun $40 buy it now, Hannah Montana $48.99 buy it now($69.99 ...Walmart.com) . All of these Carts have free shipping...it's important that you select carts w/free shipping..you never know how much you'll pay in shipping. Also most of the online craft stores have Cricut carts for sale on Ebay, that way you know your getting your products from reputible companies. Thanks for looking . Have a great day!!

Friendship Layout

2010-02-05T12:38:00.000-08:00

Hello!! Here is a Scrapbook page I made for Paper Popsicles Moosetrack Monday Challenge. The challenge was to make a page with the theme "Friendship" from their layout sketch. I decided to use pictures of my daughter and her best friend. Sorry the pictures don't look great, my camera obviously does not like taking pictures of Black and White photos. They look much better in person:) Details on how I made this are below pictures-

I used paper from K and Company for this layout. Absolutely love the polka dots!! Friends was cut at 2" using the shadow feature with the George Cricut Cart. The flower was also made with the George cart and the Blue and Red were cut at 1 1/2" the pink at 1". The wording on the brown tag is a sticker that I had and it reads: Genuine: not fake or counterfeit, not pretended, sincerely felt or expressed..I thought that was a perfect way to describe their frienship. I layered it on some beige and dark brown paper, added some rhinestones, and a little ribbon. I also used swiss dots to emboss the word Friendship, lots of dots on this layout.

Thank you for looking, please leave a comment and I would love some followers:)

2 Sketches 4 You Challenge

2010-02-02T10:52:00.000-08:00

Here is a card I made based on Kazan's sketch 45 at 2 Sketches 4 You. I have never made a circular card before, so it was quite interesting to figure out. I based this card off of a paper I had from K and Co. My daughter loved this paper with the little lions printed on it. This will be her Valentine:) I used my Cricut George Cart to cut the shapes for the lions head and pieced it together, I used foam squares to give it dimension. I used twigs for his whiskers and added rhinestones to his eyes, and added a little pink chalk for his cheeks. For his mane and the background I used my Easter 2010 cart. I added a little dangling heart, which now kind of looks like the end of his tail.

The wording inside is also from K and Co, I cut it off a pre-printed card that came with the paper pack. Thanks for looking!!

Paper Popsicles Love Theme

2010-01-31T11:22:00.000-08:00

Here is a card I made for the Love theme for Paper Popsicles. The papers are all from a really cute K & Company valentine card pad I bought on sale at Michaels. The beige paper has silver foil hearts printed on it. I cut the flowers with my George cricut cart out of 5 different papers I cut them all in different sizes and layered them. I added a paper flower embellishment for the center and a rhinestone. The XOXO is stamped on white cardstock and I chalked the edges. The ribbon I also got at Michaels, I love the different colors on it. Thanks for looking!!

Cuttlebug Challenge Vintage Valentine #68

2010-01-31T11:05:00.000-08:00

Here is a card I created for the Vintage Valentine #68 for the Cuttlebug Challenge. This is my spin on a Vintage Valentine. I had the red and green background papers and thought they fit for the vintage look. The doily was cut from the 2010 Easter Cart on my Cricut. I drew on the stitching look and chalked the edges in brown to give it an aged look. The flowers and vase were cut from the Easter cart also and both were layered. The heart is from the George cart. I had the heart already cut from a project I didn't end up using it in. I like to save all the cuts that I don't use. I added foam squares to the back of the vase to give it depth. The paper on the vase has silver foil hearts and is from a K & Company valentine pad. I cut the paper for the XOXO with border shaped scissors and drew on the lines and wrote the XOXO, then layered on top of 2 coordinating papers, pink and green. On the inside of the card I just added a little of the red paper and glued it onto the right side. Thanks for looking! I hope you like it!!

Cuttlebug Challenge Pocket Card

2010-01-25T09:52:00.000-08:00

This is a Pocket Card I made for this months Cuttlebug Challenge. The challenge was to make a mostly red pocket card. I chose to make a Valentines Day card. I used red cardstock for the card, the paper on the front of the card is red with a red foil hearts. I used my George cart to cut the heart in red card stock then I layered it with a silouette cut in black card stock. The flowers on the front of the card were cut with my Easter 2010 cart, they are so pretty. I cut two of them and then arranged them on the heart the edges are beneath the silouette. The butterfly was cut from Designers Calendar and I layered three of them in different sizes. Then I added some rhinestones.

The heart is actually the pocket which holds another heart that says Be Mine, this heart is from the Designers Calendar cart, I cut two the same size and cut a piece of black card stock between them, so you can read Be Mine on Both sides I also glued a little raffia between them so that the heart could be pulled out.

The inside is three layered rectangles from the George Cart and a Sticker that reads Forever. I hope you like it. Thanks for looking!!

Simple Valentines Day Card

2010-01-24T18:10:00.000-08:00

This Valentines Day card is so easy to make, it only took a few cuts with my cricut. The doily on the front of the card was cut using my Easter 2010 cart, it's kind of hard to see but I chalked the outer edges of the doily. The heart is from the Designers Calendar cart and I added some pink pearls.

On the inside of the card the hearts were cut with the George cartridge. I added a ribbon and the words were stamped

Valentines Day Cards

2010-01-24T17:49:00.000-08:00

Here is a Valentines Day card my 9 year old made for her teacher this year. We used a pre-scored light blue card, the paper is a light blue pattern with red polka dots... her teacher is male so we thought we'd go with a blue card. The large heart in the center was cut with the Designers Calendar Cricut cart and the two smaller hearts were cut from the George cart. We added a couple rhinestones for a little bling and a cute red ribbon with hearts.
