craft sale cards!

Well I've failed at not making any more Create a Critter cards! My mom is getting a table at an upcoming craft sale so as of now, thats what I'm creating for! These are cuts I made before and just never used, so now here they are in simple cards! I'm thinking that I will charge $3.00 a card or two for $5.00. I also want to sell sets of five cards for $10.00. I'm hoping that will go over well for Christmas cards and such! Anyways heres some cards I made recently. 

Here's the puppy cut from create a critter and sentiment cut for jubilee. Simple cards but so cute! 

A Couple New Cards!

Two A2 cards that I made recently. Of course its the create a critter cartridge. I have more cartridges but I just love how childish this one is I guess. I will have to challenge myself to make a card with a different cartridge, then I need to buy create a critter 2!  Anyways heres what I've made! 

First is Hogs and Kisses,  the sentiment is cut for everyday cards I believe and of course my little piggy is create a critter. I'm still learning to control my urge to glitter everything. Oh well, you gotta start somewhere!

This card I am in love with. Hoppy birthday is cut with jubilee and the frog was create a critter. All I did was glossy accent the belly, cheeks and eyes on this little guy and glittered the letters. I really love how this one turned out. :)


Thanks for checking this out! I will try something new tomorrow!!

Embossed Backgrounds!

 I've always had such a problem picking background paper for cards so I decided I'd try something new. I got the idea from pinterest, not sure the owner. However its simple enough it could have been anyones idea. I cut the cupcake from create a critter at 3 inches and glossy accented the cherry and eyes. I cut a regular A2 card out of kraft card stock and then the white piece at 4x5 1/4. I stamped out my sentiment first and it says "you deserve a day sprinkled with fun!" Then I chose an embossing folder and ran it through my big kick! Tied some bakers twine and popped the image up on dimensions and called it finished! 

 This is yet again, create a critter bird cut at 3 inches. Everything is the same as the last card just with minor changes.  I wanted a way to make cards fast and easy because you can never have to many. Aside from the cutting it only took me about 5 minutes to complete! I'd say thats a success! The stamp says "its your day" and is just from the $1.50 bin at Michaels! :)

To finish off all of my cards from now on I will be adding this cute little stamp of a hand that says "handmade by" and of course, filling my name in. I got this stamp so long ago from the $1.50 bin at Michaels and I finally have got around to using it. What a great buy for $1.50!  I'm very happy! 

bear-thday card

I went through my card stockpile and found that I am short on just about everything but Christmas cards. So I decided I'd use the remainder of my recovery time making cards to store away. I made two birthday cards that are very similar to the one I made my dad but small. (A2 card size) Lately I've been obsessed with my cricut so it seemed like a perfect idea.

I just did the normal 1/4 inch border for the papers. Then I went a little crazy with the glossy accents and stickles but oh well. I used glossy accents on the balloons, eyes, nose, and flame. Then stickles on the star, the shirt and the cupcake. I did this for both of the cards.

I thought this was an adorable sentiment on the inside cut with jubilee.








The card on the bottom is kinda a mess up but I'm just going to say that he's floating away with the balloons. ;) Thank you for reading!

Card Making

 I thought it may be cool to post some pictures of some cards I've made. I'm pretty proud of them, and because I'm justing making this blog now I might as well share the stuff I've already made. I really like to make basic cards that are easy to reproduce and make several of. However these are some of the ones I've made with more details. The first one was for my dads birthday. I used We Are Memory Keepers paper line, and the Teddy Bear Parade cricut cartridge. I used a lot of glossy accents on this card, more then I should have:P Its on the balloons, eyes, nose, star, cupcake, and flame of the candle. I really like how this turned out though and I made it pretty quickly.

 The next card was made with the horse from Paper Dolls cartridge and the apple from Preserves. The yellow paper killed me to cut into and was from stamping up. Then all I added was some apple stickers and a happy birthday stamp. This card was one of the first ones I made so the flaws are very visable. I just learned about distress inks but you learn as you go. I still think its really cute.

This card was made for Valentines day for my amazing boyfriend. I am aware that there is a missing "s" at the end of valentines. This card was pretty large. I did one of my first copic colourings and used it as the focus of the card and then kept adding to it. I used stickles on the wings and I love the look of it. I ended up having to make my own envelope because the card was so large.  Ahaha.
