Sneakers

This card would be good for a teenage boy or girl depending on the colors you used. I used Cricut Slumber Party cartridge. This is just a fun card.

Birthday Presents

Hi! Long time no see. I have decided to start blogging my creations again. I have never stopped creating because it's in my blood. I just haven't been posting.

I do a card class at a senior center called Prime Time. We made this birthday card using the CTMH Art Philosophy cartridges and some scrap paper to make the presents.

Also, since it is nearly Father's day, I made a masculine card that looks like a shirt. This is a very versatile card. It could be used for anything-birthdays, get well, graduation, thinking of you also.
Here is the link to making the shirt

Dr. Who Birthday Card

One of my grandsons is a Dr. Who fanatic, so I decided to make him a Tardis Birthday card (those of you who love Dr. Who will know what I am talking about).

I have Close to My Heart Artfully Sent Cricut Cartridge that happens to have a phone booth card on it. I just had to do a few things to customize it. I printed the saying with my computer.

I hope you like it as well as my grandson.

First card in a box

I have been looking at those Cards in a box on everyone's websites and on Pinterest for a year now, but I was hesitant to try and make one because they looked too complicated. Well, my New Year's resolution was to try new things concerning my card making and scrapbooking. So I decided to try one. Guess what? It's not that hard after all!

What I like about the Card in a Box is that you can make one to fit just about any occasion. So here is one of my first efforts.

I am sure as I learn more and get more experience, they will be more embellished, but I thought it wasn't bad for my first.

Polka Dot Create a Critter

Found this lovely Polka dot paper by Core'dinations and knew it would make great animals with my Cricut Create a Critter cartridge. Here are two samples.

Close To My Heart Holiday Cards

I have been playing around with my Close to My Heart products lately. It is getting close to Thanksgiving and Christmas so I have tried to get busy.

My first card is made with CTMH Very Merry Christmas acrylic stamp set. The card is a pre-printed card from The Paper Studio.

Next I used the Close to My Heart Artiste Cricut Cartridge to make the poinsettia. The cardstock is CTMH Pear and Partridge retired paper.

 

 

I used the new Close to My Heart acrylic stamp set Reason for the Season and Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Squares for the next card.

 

 

 

 

Next I made a Thanksgiving card using the CTMH acrylic stamp set Always Grateful and a Sizzix Leaves embossing folder.

 

 

 

 

 

Simple Christmas Tree

Some times the simplest things are the most beautiful. I love how this card turned out. The die is Sparkling Tree Tile from Memory Box. The sentiment is from Gina K Designs Merry Tree stamp duo. The blue paper is very sparkly, which doesn't show up well in the scan.
