Get Well Card

 This card is for a family friend. I used a very old stamp for the flowers. I got it from my local scrapbook store. It’s by Impression Obsession and called, rightfully so, Calla Lillies. I love this stamp because it takes on whatever color ink you choose to use.

Wedding Card

 I was playing around with a file I got last year from Dreaming Tree. This card is for no one in particular but I will have it when the time arises. The heart is a Tim Holtz die named Geo Frames. The embossing was done with the Cuttlebug Regal Braided embossing folder. 

Thank you for stopping by to view my blog. It is appreciated!

Get Well Card

 Paper crafters are going crazy over this new paper from Hobby Lobby called Eucalyptus. I've seen some amazing cards made with it. I stopped by a few weeks ago and picked up a few sheets. I'm just now getting around to using it. This is a Get Well Card for a family friend.

I used Memento black ink to sponge the bottom half of the card.

Asian Themed Thank You Card

I was commissioned to make a special "Thank You Card" for a friend for her Asian American boss. She also wanted her boss's favorite quote on the inside.  It took me a week to come up with this design.  Lots of heat embossing and foiling.

I used a stamp set that I've had for a long time. It's called  "Alvin - Asian Themed Stamp Set". I used the cherry blossom background stamp on burgundy watercolor paper, then heat embossed it with metallic gold embossing powder.   I printed the "Thank You" with my laser printer and used my Minc machine to gold foil it. 

The lanterns Crafters Companion Chinese Lanterns and Spellbinders Dancing Lanterns cut in mirror gold cardstock and backed with black cardstock.

For The Record...Birthday Card

This card is for my cousin's 50th birthday. I used the Darice embossing folder "Records". The record player die is by My Favorite Things.   The labels, inside sentiments and records, are done with the Print and Cut Feature in my Silhouette software.

Because I care

I was playing around with my embossing folders and embossing powders and this is what I came up with. It's hard to get a good photo because of all the shimmer but it's really shiny.  I love it!

Get Well Card Booklet

Hello everyone.
I've been working a lot of hours lately at my new job. It doesn't give me much time to do what I love but I'm vowing to keep my blog going. With that being said, the doctor I work for recently had open heart surgery.  Her favorite color is purple and almost eveything in our office is purple including our logo.  I made this 8 x8 card booklet for her. I printed the first two insides sheet on vellum.  I love how it turned out. The last page is a message page for the staff to send their well wishes.

Lady In A Hat Card

I was bored and so I decided to play around with some of my toys.  This is the card I cam up with. I used  Silver foil cardstock for everything!!  Yall know I love all things shiny!

Front

 I got the lady in the hat silhouette off of Google and traced it with my Cameo software. It was so easy!

Inside

Close up so you can see the detail. It's so hard to photograph foil. I tried de-stressing the embossing to give it an antiquated look.

 I popped up the front layers of the card to give it a 3D appearance.

Other supplies used: Spellbinders Majestic Circles Die Set
                                  Momenta Hello Die Set
                                  Stampin Up Favorite Things stamp set
                                  Spellbinders Sea Beauty Embossing folder

Birthday Card

I made this card for a special friend of mine that I met on the Cricut Cruise (crafting) back in 2012. We, along with my two other special friends, speak everyday via email or text. These ladies have become a part of my life and I treasure them dearly.

I used DCWV Mercury Glass Cardstock and the Anna Griffin Mix & Match Embossing folders along with the the Anna Griffin Minc and Heidi Swapp 3D Flowers. It's very hard to photograph foil but I hope you can see the details. It's really all gold foil and white.

Good friends are truly a Blessing.

This card is all foil. I used my Anna Griffin Minc and images from one of her bundles. The card stock is The Be Bold , Be Bright Collection from The Paper Studio.  For the card base I used the #Ann Griffin Gatefold embossing folders.

Sympathy Card

Creative Card Angels - card request for a couple that recently loss their young son.

This one was hard, not because of the card but because of the reason.

I tried my hand a distressing. I don't think I like it. Not my style, but I like this card.  It's hard to see but their is a lot of glimmer on it.

Inside: One of my favorite poems.

I Thought of You with Love Today

 I used the Anna Griffin Mix N Match embossing folders and the Spellbinders Wings of Hope die set

Ahoy Matey!!

Creative Card Angels - card request for a little one suffering from Leukemia.  I hope it helps him to know that there are people pulling for him.

I took a cut file from the Silhouette Store (I own it) and changed it into a print and cut for the pirate. I used the Spellbinders Flower Fun for the embossing.

Birthday Card

This is a quick and easy Birthday Card made with the #Anna Griffin Mix and Match Embossing Folders.  You can literally make a card in a few minutes!

 I used the Oval Scroll Frame embossing folder for the base on this card.

 And here's the insert. You just pop it in and run the folder through your Cuttlebug and bam...you have card!!!

Have a great day!!

Birthday Card

I saw this embossing folder on Facebook and I had to have it!  It's called Gemstone, by We R Memory Keepers. I love this embossing folder.  

The folder has two sides. The diamond shape is my favorite so far. I'll try the other side later.

The purple watercolor cardstock is by Making Memories. 

"Happy Birthday" is form the Silhouette store

the white die cut is "Arched Elegance" from Spellbinders.

Get Well Card

Hello Everyone!!

I made this card using the Anna Griffin Mix and Match Embossing Folders. This folder is called the Calligraphy Frame. I added flowers and a bow to top it off. These folders make cards quick and easy. The set comes with 4 different embossing folders and 12 inserts. (I'll be posting more later.)

The link I provided is to HSN, but they are currently not available. Don't fret, I actually got mine off of eBay for a little less than HSN anyway.  

I used DCWV Pink and Green Shimmer cardstock.

Tool Belt Father's Day Card

This card took me 3 nights (after work) to make! I saw a few Tool Belt cards on Pinterest and decided to give it a whirl. I spent one night designing my own and 2 more nights putting it all together. I love the way it turned out. I don't think I will make another though. This was tough! lol

I used the Silhouette print and cut feature for the tools. I also used eyelets, brads and candi dots for the embellishments. The pockets and belt were inbossed with the Craftwell @ebosser folder Delicate dots. Yes I said "inbossed"because the dots are on the wrong side of the design, but I ended up liking the way it looked, more masculine. The card base was embossed with the Craftwell @ebosser Dotted Elegance. The phrase is from the Silhouette store.

This is the inside

Birthday Card for 85 year old

My friend requested help. She was trying to send her grandmother 85 five birthday cards in celebration of her 85th birthday. I was more than happy to help out. What a Blessing it is to reach that age! I used Spellbinders Card Creator die and the Spellbinders Circle Scallop die. The sentiment on the front is from the JustRite Faith stamp set and the inside is from the  JustRite Grand Birthday Sentiments Stamp set.

Spellbinder Card Creator

I got the inspiration for this card from Pinterest and put my spin on it. I've had this Spellbinder Card Creator die for quite some time and have never used it.  I love how it turned out. I used my Craftwell eBrush to color the flowers to match the card. The label is actually silver foil, but I could not get a good picture of it.

Here's the box I made for the card.
