Sweet 16 card!

Yesterday was my Sister-in-law's 16th birthday - and she has been counting down the days until she can get her driver's license! So...it only seemed fitting to make her a card with a car on it! I chose the car from Nifty Fifties and used some paper by Basic Grey and My Minds Eye:

And, my daughter thought it would be a great idea to make it wobble, SOOO...we put it on an Action Wobble:

Cut a tiny license plate using one of the labels from Preserves, and stamped on an abreviated "sweet 16" using Unity Stamps and Pink By Design stamps. Added a sentiment from My Creative Time on a handcut banner to finish it off.

Hope you enjoyed! Thanks for stopping by!

Nifty Fifties Fish - Congrats

I had a request a while back to make a graduation congrats card for a high school graduate - and to use a fish on it. Can you tell he kind of likes fishing? Anyway, this is what I came up with!

I used Nifty Fifties for the fish and his background, ran one layer through the Cuttlebug, and popped him on an action wobble. Isn't he fun?!?!? Added some Jute cord, and a sentiment from one of my Unity Stamp sets. Thanks for stopping by!!!



Happy Easter!!! And a birthday card for my Dad...

Good morning! And let me first and foremost wish everyone a very blessed Easter!!! I am preparing this the night before, to auto-post this morning, because it is a birthday card for my Dad! His birthday was yesterday, but we are celebrating it after church this morning, and I figured my chances of him NOT looking were better this morning than last night! So...if you are looking Dad - BE PATIENT!!! Love you! ;0)

For his card, I used the Sketch Challenge with a Twist over at Peachy Keen. Since it is their 50th sketch challenge, you also had to use metalic accents somewhere on your project. (I used gold brads)

So, all cuts came from Nifty Fifties. Sentiment is from Pink by Design. Added, of course, a cute Peachy Face and some ribbon. And...I couldn't resist, I put the TV on a wobble (LOVE 'EM)! The pictures at the bottom show a little of the action from that! Thanks for looking! And Happy Birthday Daddy!



Having too much fun with stamps!!!

Oh my goodness!!! I can't believe how much fun I am having mixing together stamps and my Cricut!!! There are so many possibilities!!! I probably need to slow down - but it is just so much fun! I love how each of these is so unique and different too! I think my Prismacolor pencils are making a difference too - those really do color SUPER nice! I always loved coloring when I was a kid - now I just get to do it as a grown up!

So the stamp on all of these is from Unity Stamps, all colored in with the Prismacolor pencils. The first one also has some black string wrapped around, a button, and some bling added with my Jolee's heat set gun. Topped off the sentiment with some Glossy Accents, and added some lace at the top and bottom. This is the only one I didn't use the Cricut on.

On the second one, after I colored it in, I cut it out, and topped the whole thing with Glossy Accents. Added a neat finish too it! The scallop background was cut from Preserves, then I cut a smaller square and ran it through the Cuttlebug. Layered everything, added lots of doodling, some ribbon, Stickles, some Prima flowers, and some bling with my Jolee's heat set tool. 

The last one I just layered several times on different colored cardstock, then welded together some of the letters from Nifty Fifties on my Gypsy to cut out "Let's Roll!" Added some doodling, then Glossy Accents over the letters, and around the black edge of the matting around the skates.



Hope you have a "groovy" day!!!

You're tweet!!!

Good morning! I will be drawing a winner for the Simply Charmed cartridge a little later this morning (see HERE if you haven't entered yet!) but I wanted to post this a bit earlier this morning. This is my first project with my Nifty Fifties cartridge. When I saw this cute little bird, I knew I HAD to makes something with it!

I used the shadow of his background to weld together to make a shape card. The shape was a little interesting to prop up and photograph - that is why it looks a little crooked in the picture - it was the best I could do! I then ran the background through the Cuttlebug, Added Glosssy Accents to the eyes and music notes, a stamped sentiment from My Pink Stamper, a bit of stitching around the edges, and then on a whim,  I put stickles all around the edges of nearly everything!

Hope you have a great morning, and I will be back soon to announce the winner!
