Cupcake card

Here is my first card designed and cut using my new Gypsy. Not a real fancy card but thought I might give it to my hubby for his Birthday.
I don't recall what papers I used but I think most were from Citrus Cardstock stack from DCWV. The ribbon is some the $1 bins at Target. The cherry is cut from plain cardstock.

I popped up the cupcake for a little added dimension. The "frosting" is from a K&Co stack I picked up on clearance at Target a few weeks ago, believe it is a wedding stack, and is a glitter paper.
Here it is with my Create and Gypsy ( still have to come up with a nickname for these, lol ) Well thats all for now, thanks for stoppin by and takin a peek at what I've been up to. Have a wonderful day and God bless!

Paper Playtime Challenge entry



The challenge is to use only black, white and silver.
This is what I came up with.
 The designed paper is from DCWV All Dressed Up paper stack, glitter papers are from Christmas Mat stack, plain black paper is also from Christmas Mat stack, plain white is some from the scrap pile. Gifts were cut from MS Holiday Cakes cricut cartridge @ 3".  "Joy" was cut using Jasmine cricut cartridge at 2".
The little flowers were some that my sister gave me, she got them from Michael's. I inked the white paper with silver ink and a touch of black on the very edges.
 Tried to get a couple more pic's up but have a glitch  and and won't upload right now, will try to add later. I popped up the gift in the middle. At the bottom I cut off a little and added a piece of glitter paper.
 Hope you enjoyed looking, love to read your comments. Thanks for looking and have a wonderful day!
Here you can see the present is popped up, and the inking on the edges.

Another Christmas card

Here is another card I put together. I used Jubilee cricut cartridge for the "Merry Christmas" and Christmas Noel for the bears.
This one is a VERY simple card. I used plain card stock and coredinations card stock.

I "poped" this bear up a little for some diminsion. That's all for now. Thanks for looking! Have a wonderful day!

New card

Here is a card I put together today. I used Christmas Noel cricut cartridge.
The red background and trees is from Citrus cardstock pad, the red on the church and shadow on Happy Christmas are plain cardstock as are the snow, star and cream on the title. I used a yellow marker to color in the center of the star, it cuts as two pieces.
I used my glue pen and glitter to add a little sparkle to the trees and snow. The church was cut at 4 1/2 in. the trees and Happy Christmas were cut at 2 in. The star was cut at 2 3/4 in.
Here you can see I "pop dotted" the church for a little added dimension. Now only about 29 more to make. LOL
Will try to make a few diffrent ones to post on here soon, thanks for looking! Hope you have a wonderful day!

New card

Here is a new card I made today for my best friends birthday. Hope she liked it.
The base is plain cardstock, printed paper is from "Totally Girl" from My Minds Eye, the green is from coredinations nostalgia stack.
The font and martini glass are from Jubilee cricut cartridge. Ribbon is from Hobby Lobby.
This was a very simple card, but, I think it turned out pretty, I like the colors. Hope she enjoyed it too. On the inside you can see I use a piece of the printed paper with a piece of white cardstock that I inked with a copper color of ink ( Martha Stewart). By the way, I cut the base at 6x9 and folded in half. The font and glass were cut at 2".
Well thats all I have for now. Hope you enjoyed looking, thanks for stopping by and please leave a comment. Thanks and have a wonderful day!

Independence Day Layout

This is my layout for the 4th of July.
I used white cardstock for the base. All the cuts were made with "Independence Day" cricut cart. and coredinations cardstock and plain cardstock. The printed paper is from the paper studio, out of the clearance bin at Hobby Lobby. All the blue is coredinations and the all red is plain cardstock. All the off white is also coredinations from the Nostalgia stack.
