Wedding Congratulations

This card is for the Executive Operations Manager at work. He recently got married and didn't tell half the office...typical male {lol}. So we {my co-workers and I} decided we would give him a card anyway. I used Sweethearts for the wedding bells and Lacy Labels for the circles. The sentiment is from the Congrats Stampin' Up set. The inside says "Welcome to the wedded bliss club".

Thank you for stopping by,

Happy Valentines

For this valentines day card I used my Sweethearts Cricut cartridge for the hearts. The stamp is the Happy Heart Day stamp set from Stampin' Up. I stitched around the base for some added texture. The ric rac was made using my scalloped border punch. This technique I learned from StampinPretty.com.

Simple Valentine Card

I started out with the green background. I've been on a kick about using these brighter colors. Then I used the blue center, but still had no idea where I was going with this. Finally, I just deciced to go with this simple heart from the Sweethearts Cricut cartridge. Added the Love at the botton and the faux stitching and called it done.

Black & White Wedding card #1

I was asked by two co-workers to make wedding cards for them. Both of them wanted black and white cards. I am telling you that I had the hardest time coming up with idea's. I don't know exactly why the black and white gave me such fits. But in the end I was happy with the outcome.



Thanks so much for stopping and visiting:)

Bridal Shower #1

Here is one of the cards I was asked to make for a girl at work. She had a two bridal showers to attend in the same weekend. She said she would really likes my cards and would rather pay me than Hallmark. I'm so glad she has given me an excuse to go hide in my craftroom.

For this card I used the following:

Sweathearts Cricut Cartridge: Birds in nest

Songbird Cricut Cartridge: Labels (behind birds)

Home Accents Cricut Cartridge: Swirl

Paper Dolls for Everyday: Umbrella

Martha Stewart: Around the page punch

Stampin' Up: Boho stamp and punch

Thanks for Looking,

Playing Catch-up

I know it has been a long time since I posted last, with the exception of yesterday. I've had lots of family issues to deal with. But I've been making cards even though I haven't posted them. I've actually been making cards to sell. A girl at work has had me make her 5 cards over the last few months. Most of them have been some type of wedding related. If it wouldn't have been for her asking me to make cards, I don't know how much time I would have actually spent in the craftroom. I just haven't been in much of a crafty mood with everything else going on.

Well, I am really proud of this card I am going to share with you today. It was actually quite easy to make even though it doesn't look it. It is funny that I started my crafting life sewing but had never used my sewing machine on any of my cards. This is the first time I have done so.

For this card I used:

Sweethearts Cricut Cartridge: Wedding Dress

Cosmo Cricket: Designer paper "Girl Friday & Everafter" Double Deck

Martha Stewart: Lacey edge punch

Spare Parts: Pearls

Wedding card Scraplift...

I actually made this quite a while ago...I totally scraplifted it. I just wish I could find who I scraplifted it from. Whoever you are THANK YOU. I can't even find a picture of the original. A girl at work is getting married and I found this in my stash. The bottom right frame did not have anything in it so cut the wedding bells. Then I added pearls to the front of the card. I think the original also had pearls...


I used Stampin' Up cardstock and the following Cricut Cartridges:

Sweethearts: Weeding bells
Wild Card: Bride and Groom
Storybook: Frames

I also used my Swiss Dots Cuttlebug Folder and a stamp

Thank you for looking.

Bridal Shower Card

I was asked by a coworker to make card to give to her sister at her bridal shower. The bridal party colors are Green, White and Black. {The whole family went to Michigan State...Colors Green and White...I should have known those would be the bridal colors}

I used a DCWV paper pack and the following Cricut Cartridges with my Gypsy:

Paper Dolls for Everyday: Umbrella

Winter Woodland: For The Bride

Sweethearts: Bouquet

A Childs Year: Scalloped background.
