Birthday Celebration...

Hi there.... I'd like to share this shaker birthday card that I created using the picture inspiration for a linky party which is currently being help at Craftin' Desert Diva's.

This card measures 5 x 7. I used Recollections card stock and patterned paper for my cards base.

Of course, I had to make it a shaker card and love to use non other than Craftin' Desert Diva's beautiful sequins.

I used a mix of the Cotton Candy Sequins which you can find here:

as well as Springtime Flower Power Sequins which you can find here:

I also added a light pink satin ribbon and three robin blue flower brads to the bottom of the card for a little extra embellishing.

Inside the card (which you can see through the acetate), I used the birthday stamp from the Celebration Wordart stamp set which can be found here as well:

It was lots of fun to create this super cute card!

You're Turtley Awesome..

Hi there! Today on the blog, I have this adorable fall themed turtle card.  This card measures 5 x 7. I used Bazzill and Recollections card stock for my paper piecing and as the base of my card.  The patterned paper is from Lilybee Designs.

My cute little turtle friend is a file pattern from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs which you can find here: http://www.littlescrapsofheavendesigns.com/category_22/Weekly-Freebie.htm. Please understand that he is currently listed as the weekly freebie right now.  I do not know how much longer he will be available as a freebie though.

I used my Cricut Explore to upload the file and cut him out. I then chalked each piece before putting him together.  I wanted to make him different somehow and I thought it would be a cute idea to make a "shaker" out of his pumpkin shell.  I used an oval punch to create the cut out and then adhered acetate and foam dots.  I used a mixture of sequins that I had from Craftin' Desert Diva's and Stampin' Up!  After my shaker was formed, I then added two small leaf embellishments (also ReCollections) and a small orange button for an added touch.

Now onto my sentiment..... I used the Natural Tag & Twine Kit from Recollections to created my sentiment tag. And thankfully, I have the Totally Turtle Stamp Set from Craftin' Desert Diva's which you can find here: http://craftindesertdivas.com/totally-turtle/

It was lots of fun making this card. Hope you all enjoyed it! Thanks for stopping by!!

Best Buds

Hello and Happy Monday!! Today I'd like to share this cute Best Buds card that I created using a svg file from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs. I have to say, I think I am obsessed with the Super Hero Kids files. They are just too cute and there are so many different ways to use them.

This card measures 5" x 7". For the card base, I used paper from the Recollections Comic Heros Paper Pad. Batman & Robin as well as the sentiment is made from Bazzill and Recollections cardstock.  

Batman & Robin have been cut and chalked and highlights have been added with a white gel pen. I also added some glossy accent to Robin's mask and the Bat on Batman's emblem to give it just a bit of added texture and sheen (Sorry the pic doesn't show it that well). I added star sequins to the sentiment as well to give it that added shimmer and shine.

It is a very fun file to work with and the possibilities are endless.  I hope you enjoyed today's creation. Have a great day and I will see you all again real soon.

Watermelon Mouse......So Sweet...

Hello my friends.  Today I'd like to share this cute little card that I created.  This card measures 4.5" x 6.25".  I used both Bazzill and Recollection card stock for this creation.  My little mousy friend (isn't he just adorable!?!?!) was created using a pattern from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs.  I also made him out of fleece to give him that furry-cuddly look.  Once all my pieces were cut, chalked and pieced together, I added glossy accents to the watermelon seeds for some added texture and definition.  My "So Sweet..." sentiment was made using the "Birthday Cakes" font from my Cricut.

I hope you all enjoyed my creation for today.  I will be back soon with more!!! If you love this cute little mouse, I have added him to my on-line store in my website for purchase. Go check it out and let me know what you think.  Thanks for stopping by and have a terrific day!!

Pot Belly Dragon & Pot Belly Panda Cards....

Happy Wednesday my crafty friends!! Today I am bringing you the Pot Belly Collection (Pot Belly Dragon and Pot Belly Panda) from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs.  Are these files not the cutest??? And super easy to assemble.  I started with the Pot Belly Dragon.  The dragon himself is made from Recollections textured paper which I think makes him come to life on this card.  Other papers used for this card are from American crafts.  The sentiment "HELLO" runs down the left side of the card on more patterned card stock, again from American Crafts.  I added two orange glittered brads (from Recollections) on the top for some added embellishment.  This card measures 5.5" x 8.5" and is blank inside for anybody to write or stamp and sentiment or note they choose.

Next, I created the Pot Belly Panda Card.  This card also is blank inside for your own thoughts and sentiments and measures 5.5" x 8.5".  All card stock and papers used for this card are from Recollections and American Crafts.  The sentiment "HI" on the left side was written on using the Cricut Explore machine.  I attached four (4) gem brads to each corner of the diamond and attached to the card using foam adhesives to give it that little bit of pop off the card.  I think that they both turned out cute and I am sure that the two children that I am going to send these too will love them (or at least I hope they do, lol).  Well, those are my creations for the time being... now onto something new. Thanks for stopping by and I will see you all again real soon.

"So Berry Sweet"...

Hello there! Today I am sharing a card that I created for a Card Sketch Challenge currently going on over at Little Scraps of Heaven Designs.  This card measures 6" x 6". For this card, I used Bazzill, American Crafts and Recollection Card stock and patterned papers.  All the tiny strawberry seeds (and they are VERY TINY!!!!!) have a glossy accent on them to make them pop. I don't know how well you can see that in the pic, but believe me.... they are there, LOL.  I added three pieces of ribbon with pink gem candy dots as an extra embellishment.

It was a super fun card to create. Now on to my next project...

Thanks for stopping by and I will see you all again real soon!!
