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.
Here's page 1

Jitterbuggin challenge #14 Born to be Wild

Here's my entry for the Jitterbuggin challenge # 14 Born to be Wild. The challenge was to follow the sketch, add a cricut animal and to use stripes. So Bear with me......Also entered in Paper Playtime Challenge.
The card is made from brown coredinations, the stipe and blue behind the bear were from the scrap pile. I used Campout cricut cartridge for the bear and a simple hand written "Bear with me" with a strand of jute tied at each end.
Here is a close up of the sentiment. I did ink the edges of both the stripe and blue papers with brown ink for a rustic feel.
Here you can see that the bear and sentiment have been pop dotted, for a little more dimension.
Thanks for looking. Please feel free to leave comments, would love to hear from you. Hope you have a wonderful day!

More Thank you cards

Here are a couple more cards I made the other day.
I used mostly scraps. The ribbon and flower stamp I got out of the dollar bin at Target. I used inkjet card stock, I cut them down some and rounded the edge of the front flap. The font is from Jasmine cricut cartridge.
Here's one of the cards a little closer.

Thank you cards

Here are some cards I made while at my sisters house yesterday.
I needed to make some "Thank you" cards to send out to everyone who gave gifts to my daughter for her 2nd birthday. So if you see this before the card gets to you, you get a sneak peak of what your getting. LOL

Here is one of the cards, this one and 3 others I made have the white scallop.

This one has a brown scallop.
The brown is coredinations cardstock, all the pinks are from My Minds Eye Totally Girl ( I think, they were in the scap bag so not positive but pretty sure.) The ribbon came from Hobby Lobby. The base is plain white cardstock cut at 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 ( card is not folded in half, left one side a little longer than the other ).
That's all I have for today, hope to do more scapping soon. Thank you for looking and hope you liked it, please feel free to leave a comment love to hear from you! Thanks and have a wonderful day!!

Jitterbuggin Challenge Sketch #9

This is a card I made for the Jitterbuggin challenge. The papers are all from the Chirstmas Mat stack(DCWV). The pink ribbon is just some that I had, from Wal-mart as are the buttons. The daisies are Martha Stewart. "love" was cut using Home Decor Cricut cartridge. The card base is a half fold card for inkjet printers, cut down to 4.5" x 6.5".
I flipped the sketch, hope thats ok.
Here is a close up of the buttons. I threaded them on, they will slide along the ribbon if I want to move them.
Here are the daisies up close.
Here I show I used a strip of the green on the inside of the card.
I hope you enjoyed looking! Please feel free to leave comments, love hearing form you. Thanks and have a wonderful day!
