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!!

Paint fight!

I keep posting photos of cards that I've made and today I decided I'd show some of my scrapbook pages as well. Starting with one of my first, and one of my favorites. It's fairly simple but I like that because it brings out the picture more. I started with a plain white 12x12 piece of paper because I couldn't find a background paper to compliment my photo. The photo is of my boyfriend and I on one of our first dates. Both of us in high school with little money we grabbed some friends and went to the dollar store to buy paint and water guns. We went to a park near a river so we watered down the paint and chased each other around. It was so much fun! Anyways I just splattered tattered angels mist all over the page and found some bright colourful papers. I ran some kraft card stock through the krimper and tore it to make an accent. I did faux stitching around the photo and wrote a little caption. I then just layered some flowers and tied a bow with some twine. :) simple and easy but a big accomplishment for me! Thanks for checking it out! 

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!

baby boy card!

baby boy card

When I found out a lady at my barn was having a baby I was so excited because it meant I finally had a reason to use baby paper from my stash! I always say to my mom that I cant wait to have a baby to scrapbook the kid! She doesn't like those comments ahaha. Anyways she had a beautiful baby boy and I needed to make a card for her. Lately I've been obsessed with using my cricut for cards. More specifically the Teddy Bear Parade cartridge. I just think they're so cute. I know this is a very simple card but I thought I'd share it anyways. Thanks :) 

 

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.

Teddy Bear Graduation Rosette

Please pardon the Instagram photo. My sister took the picture on her iPhone, but this is a ribbon I made for her for graduating college. What I did was scored a sheet of paper cut at 6x12 scoring at ever 1/4 inch. Then I cut the 6x12 piece of paper into 3x12. After this you follow the same steps you normally would of folding but I glued them together making a circle. Again, following the same steps you normally would making a paper rosette. Its important to add the extra piece of paper because other wise the it will rip. I finished the rosette and added the botton "ribbons" with are from 8.5/11 card stock cut to three inches wide and decorated the bottoms. Finally in the centre I added the graduation bear from the cricut cartridge "Teddy Bear Parade" I glossy accented the nose and eyes, and added a little bit of glitter. I drew in some details with black and white gel pens and glued on a wood vener of an A+ as the finishing touch. I'm happy with how it turned out but next time I think I would do something different from the "ribbons" hanging down. Unfortunately I didn't have any ribbon the appropriate size. Thanks for reading!
