Happy Birthday Card for a Guy

This was a simple card that I made with a guy in mind. Not sure if a guy would appreciate the bow as much though.

For this card I use the following cartridges:

Celebrations: Cupcake and layers
A Child's Year: Happy Birthday
Storybook: Label (or whatever it is called)

Mojo Monday 130

I love getting inspiration from the Mojo Monday Sketches. Although I usually do not complete a card from the sketch the same week it is posted on the blog. This sketch is from March 15, 2010, so as you can see I definately did not complete this the same week. If you would like to see the sketch then click HERE to go to the Mojo Monday Blog.

For this card I used the following Cricut Cartridges on my Gypsy:

Storybook: Flower and the letter "B"

Celebrations: Scallop square

Christmas (Noel): Happy

Graphically Speaking: Day

I used Cosmo Cricut paper and ribbon from JoAnns.

Thanks for Looking,

Valerie

Okies 6-17 Challange

Here are three cards I made over the weekend as part of the Okie's 6-17 challange at the Cricut Messageboard.

My first entry was based on sketch number 2. I used Hello Kitty for the kitty of coarse, Jasmine for the photo corners and Celebrations for the tag. I used lots of stickles on the Hello Kitty, Glitter glue (from who know were) for the photo corners, and flowers and brads from Hobby Lobby.


My second entry was based on the first sketch. I used Life is a Beach cart for the two helms, anchor and "Anchors Away" inside the card. I used George and Basic shapes for the squares on the front. I used red, white and blue gel pens to accent the whole card and blue ink on the red and blue rectangles layering the inside of the card.

My third entry was based on the third sketch. For this I used Storybook for the Butterfly and sentiment. The card base is Stampin Up cardstock and the designer papers are from K&Co. The brads are all Spare Parts from Hobby Lobby.

I am really enjoying these challanges. It helps me an incentive to craft instead of re-reading Twilight or watching the movie again. Oh yeah, I'm hooked... But I will leave that for another day.

Melissa's 21st Birthday

I made this for a co-worker who just turned 21. I used cricut to make the bouquet of cupcakes and balloons. I used the Hello Kitty Greetings and Celebration carts. These were cut from glitter card stock which was pretty thick so I did not need anything else to stablize them. I attached them to craft dowels that were pre-cut at 12". The card was made using Stampin Up stamp sets: Boho Backgrounds and One of a Kind. I also used Stampin Up scallop hole punch and 1 3/8 hole punch.
