Birthday Card ~ Stacy

Hello everyone!

I wanted to share a new style of card I made for a friend's birthday this month. I found this shadow box card on http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/. I thought it was cool and I wanted to give it a try. I think it turned out pretty cute and Stacy seemed to really like it.

Don't pay any attention to my cat behind the card in the above picture. He wouldn't move out of the way while I took the pictures. :)

I just kept it simple yet feminine for her.

That's all for today. Thank you for stopping by and stop back real soon. February 23rd is our next Thankful Thursday Design Team Blog Hop and I'm pretty sure it will be a blast. :)

Thankful Thursday ~ Grandparents Day Card

Hey Everyone! I'm so glad you stopped by today. Our challenge for today was to make a card for Grandparents Day. I'm very excited for Grandparents Day! This is my first year as a Grandparent to a sweet little 4 month old named, Shilo. She's my little sweet pea.

This is me and my granddaughter, Shilo.

I think she has the sweetest face and the most beautiful blue eyes.

Onto my project. I made a card for my Grandma who is 85 years young this year. When Shilo was born, my Grandma became a Great Great Grandma for the first time. I decided to do a gate-fold card. This is the first time I've tried this type of card.

I recently started making little hair bow clips, so I made a bow and instead of putting it on a hair clip, I just added it as an embellishment to my card.

I kept this card on the simple side for my Grandma.

The ribbon is from Making Memories 5th Avenue collection.

The paper is from DCWV The Mod-Retro Stack.

The stamp on the inside is from My Pink Stamper's Everyday Life. Ok, now go back over to Crazy About Cricut's blog and check out all the other projects from my fellow design team members and then upload your project or card.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you stop back soon.

Rock On!

Hey Everyone!

I love joining in on blog hops whenever I have a chance and My Pink Stamper has a great blog hop once a month. It's always the third Friday of the month. This month, I didn't get a chance to join in on the blog hop until Saturday and I just got a chance to upload the pictures of my card I came up with for the challenge. This month the challenge was to show your style whatever that may be.

Well, my favorite color is purple and I also really like hot pink and neon green too. I think my style is bright, cheery, fun and sparkly. I like adding Stickles, Glossy Accents, ribbon, buttons, and diamond bling whenever I can. Here is what I came up with.

I recently got a couple of Simply Betty Stamps so I thought I would try one out and I colored it with my watercolor pencils.

I added Glossy Accents to her glasses to look like lenses and I added Stickles to her bows and outfit. I added some ribbon and purple buttons. I also added the "Rock On" stamp from My Pink Stampers Everyday Life stamp set.

Well, hope you like what I came up with. Thanks for stopping by and leave me a comment if you want. I love hearing from everyone! :)

Shilo Letters, Father's Day and My Pink Stamper Blog Hop Challenge

A while ago, I started working on this project for my granddaughters room. They are wood letters that I picked up at Wal-Mart that spell out her name. I sanded them down, Mod Podged patterned paper onto the letters, and then added butterfly crystals, flower crystals and ribbon to the letters. They are now finished. I think they turned out pretty cute.

I made some Father's Day cads to sell. I used Kraft cardstock, patterned paper on the background to look like a dress shirt, and patterned paper in the shape of a tie. I think they turned out nice without being feminine looking.

Happy Father's Day stamp is by My Favorite Things.

On Friday, My Pink Stamper had her monthly blog hop and the challenge was to make something with a summer theme. Well, summer means a lot of different things to me, but there are always a ton of graduation parties at the beginning of summer and I had to make a couple of graduation cards for my mom to take to a graduaiton she was invited to so that's what I did. She wanted me to make a spinner card with the mortar board being the part that spins back and forth. So, the idea for the card came from my mom and I made her vision come to life. I used My Pink Stampers Everyday Life stamp in the spinner window and I cut the graduaiton cap from the Wild Card cartridge and outlined the "shadow" area with a white colored pencil and added gold stickles for the tassle. I also added frosted lace stickles dotted in the corners. I think they turned out pretty good.

My Pink Stamper Color Challenge

Hello Everyone!

Guess what?! Today is my birthday! Yay! Happy Birthday to me! Okay, now, on to something else not about me. Today, My Pink Stamper is doing a Color Challenge on her blog and I've decided to join in. The colors to be used in your project are Orange, Turquoise, and Green (any other colors can be added). So, here is what I came up with. I think it turned out pretty cute. What do you think?

I used the Cricut Essentials cartridge that is pre-loaded on my Cricut Expression 2 for the flower cut. I found a button in my stash of old buttons I got from my grandma. The paper is from K & Company Lemon Drop, the ribbon is Essentials Grosgrain Ribbon, and I added Star Dust Stickles to the edges and inner part of the flower. Oh, I also used My Pink Stamper's Everyday Life stamp Best Wishes. This card makes me feel like summer is truly here.
