You're Invited...

This is a quick card I made up as a sample. I am making up a bunch of invitations for a family member, and this is one of the options. I want to make sure it is easy enough, and quick enough that I could make quite a few.



The paper is all Stampin Up, and so is the stamp, it is from a set called Close as a Memory, and is one of my favorites. The Cuttlebug folder I used is called Victoria. I love how classy it is. the ribbon is from the Dollar Store.

I hope you will join me tomorrow to see what I came up with for the new Cricut Cardz Challenge. It's a good one :)

Tree - mendous :)

Woo hoo! 4 12 hour shifts done!! I'm sorry I haven't posted anything in the last few days, but the past 4 days have been exhausting, and I just didn't have the energy - but I am off for the next few days, and plan to catch up, and get some cards made up :) Here is today's card.



I made this card for my in-law's 50th wedding anniversary. I had to make 100 of them, and I wanted it to be reasonably easy to mass produce. This fit the bill. I love this stamp set - Branching Out from Stampin Up. The paper is all from StampinUp and so is the ink. I bought the ribbon from the dollar store. I also used a Cuttlebug embossing folder on the light pink paper.

There are a few challenges I am submitting this card for this week:

Our Creative Corner - Embossing
Just Scraps - anything goes
Paper Pretties - use ribbon
Cute Card Thursday - use a tree
Challenge Up Your Life - celebrations
Fab 'n' Funky - use your favorite color (these days it's pink :)
Pixie Dust Studio - pretty in pink
Sweet Stampin Challenge - pretty in pink

Hope you all have had a good week so far - I'll be back tomorrow :) See ya then!

You scream, I scream, we all scream...

for ice cream!! I made this little card for a challenge on the Fantabulous Cricut blog. They challenged us to make a cool yummy treat, with an option to make it a shape card. here is what I did:


I made the ice cream from Doodlecharms, and welded it on my gypsy. I decided to weld it at the cherry, intead of along the side. It actually worked pretty well! The paper was all Stampin Up. I then used a cuttlebug folder ov the cone part to give it a little texture. The cherry is stickled, for a bit of bling. I also used My Pink Stamper stamps. The sentiment sats sweet thoughts of you, which I thought was appropriate for an ice cream card. I did a bit of doodling around with my white gel pen, and inked up the cone a bit... all in all I think it's cute!

I had hoped to do a few more challnges this week, but only had one day off from work. Maybe next week will be better. Thanks for visiting :)
