Butterfly Card

It's Moosetrack Monday at Paper Popsicles and the challenge this week is to use buttons on your project!!

For this week's challenge I used a butterfly shaped card template from Paper Popsicles

to create this thank you card. 

I printed this template out on this adorable paper from My Minds Eye.  I also cut out an extra front of the card and attached it to give it a little dimenshion.  The buttons were from my stash and I added pearls to them to give them just a little more... the flower I made using my cricut George cart..I printe it out at 1"1/4 three times, wet and bent the corners of all three and then for the 3rd I cut to shape the center.  I used red ink to ink the edges and added stamped an ippity stamp for the sentiment.   The clips are from Spare Parts I stretched them out to add the antenna's.

Valentine Bouquets

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!!

P.S. I love Comments

Greetings Valentine!!

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

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!!

P.S. I love comments:)

Valentines my daughter made!!

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!! 

Friendship Layout

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

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

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

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!!

Card I made for 2 Sketches 4 U Challenge

Here is a card I made for a 2 Sketches 4 U Challenge. This is based off of Laura's Sketch 44. I have never done one off of a sketch before, actually I am just learning. There are some absolutely beautiful cards on their blog. You can view the sketch and cards at their blog- http://2sketches4u.blogspot.com/. The cake and squares were cut with my cricut machine and are from the Designers Calendar cartridge. The border was cut with the Easter 2010 Cart. Inside the card reads Birthday Blessings and was cut from the George cart.

Cuttlebug Challenge Pocket Card

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!!

Valentines Day Cards

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.
