On Your Wedding Day

I made this wedding card back in May.  A co-worker needed a card for her niece's wedding, but didn't give me much advanced notice.  I literally threw the card together in about 20 minutes.  Everything is from my scrap pile (I love it when that happens). 


The embossed chandelier is from a cuttlebug embossing folder set that I bought at Valentine season.  It came with a conversation heart folder and two others.  I used cream card stock with a shiny pearl finish.  I thought it added a little elegance.  The sentiment is from a My Pink Stamper stamp set.  Throw on an orange ribbon to tie it all together, and ta-da!

The card is a standard A2 size card.

Thank You card set

I made a set of 20 Thank You card for a co-worker.  The organization's colors are cream and maroon.  I used My Pink Stamper's Family and Friends stamp set.  I then embossed the maroon layer with my cuttlebug.  Add some black ribbon for another color and ta-da! 

 I haven't heard from her, but I hope she likes them!

Monster Truck Treat Bags

Today my little boy turns 4! =(  Where does the time go??  For his BIG birthday party this weekend, I made each child a "MONSTER" style treat bag.  My son's favorite colors are yellow, red, and blue.  I used yellow and red colored bags and cut the monster trucks in purple and green - the same colors of this favorite truck.  Then we STUFFED them!  The kiddos loved them!

I cut the trucks at 3" from the Boys Will Be Boys cartridge (one of my favorites).  I ran the truck bodies through the cuttlebug to add some distress to them.  Then we used silver stickles to add some bling. =)


Now on to Easter projects! 

Pink Umbrella Card

For my LAST baby card I decided to go along with the color theme of the shower.  Therefore, I'll use this card the one for my gift.

I cut the umbrella from the Celebrate with Flourish lite cartridge.  I used my irock fro some bling at the top of the umbrella.  I embossed the background with a new embossing folder called "bubbles".  I then added some flowers with bling for more girly effect.  I think it turned out SUPER cute!! :)

Stepping out of my box card

Okay, I've stepped out of my box for this one!  Have you ever had a vision but it didn't turn out like you thought it would?  Well that was me on this card!


I was trying to make a different baby girl card by using the frames on my Cindy Loo cartridge.  I was also wanting to use some tulle for the first time.   

Well, I think it turned out cute, but not really for a baby.  I may save this one for a teenage girl.  Maybe a birthday or graduation card.  I'll add the sentiment when I decide. LOL!  So much for my vision turning out baby'ish. LOL!

"Thinking Of You" Card

I made this card for a friend that is going through a very difficult time.  I was up all night Monday thinking of her, and so I went to my craft room at midnight and started creating!  I found these Recollection flowers on clearance at Michael's last year.  I was needing to be quiet because EVERYONE was asleep, so I didn't want to start up my cricut and search for paper. (my craft room is next door to my son's room)  So I used the flowers for inspiration.

She has returned back to work, yet, but I hope she loves it!!

Valentine's Treat Bags

I made these treat bags for the kiddos at my son's preschool.  I had to stuff 50 little bags with a splint on my hand, it was a challenge! LOL!

I purchased the new conversational hearts embossing folder for cuttlebug last week and couldn't wait to use it!  It was my inspiration for these treat bags.  My mother bought me these adorable foam conversational heart stickers from a local fabric store.  I was set!

I thought they turned out adorable.  I will find out soon if the kiddos liked them, but I'm sure they did! :)

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!

"Make A Wish" Birthday Card

Another card for the same co-worker! (she keeps me busy this time of year)  This one was a birthday card for her son.  He is turning 12 and LOVES playing video games.  I bought the Wrap It Up cartridge on Black Friday but haven't been able to use it, yet.  Until NOW, that is!

I cut the controller at 2" and I used one of my new Tim Holtz Grunge embossing folders.  I hope he likes it!

Thanks Snow Much card

I made this thank you card for a Christmas present that my son received.  I used the When It's Cold Outside cricut cartridge.  I also used stickles and my i-rock tool on the snowflake.

The twine was Baker's Twine from Michaels and the sentiment was from my NEW My Pink Stamper Winter Punnies stamp set!  I also used my cuttlebug for the snowflake embossing.
