Thank you Teacher

It's June, and that means the end of school, so Thank You cards are in order! This paper is from MME, I I though it made the perfect car.d The apple is from Plantin Schoolbook, I used the spiral notebook border punch too. This card was super easy and super cute. 

Happy Crafting. 

Easter Layout

Here is a quick post. I had to snap it fast because I was giving this layout away. Isn't it cute? I used the Easter 2010 and Stretch your Imagination Cricut carts.  

New Sizzix Die

I got a new toy recently! The Sizzix pop-up cards die. I my first card with this die was a Mother's Day card. This adorable paper is from 3 Bugs in a Rug. I used the Mother's Day 2010 Cricut cart for the front of the card. Then I used the Apron Lace border Fiskars border punch for the white border.

This is the inside. I love the pop up center. And Sizzix makes a die set to match the shape inside. 

It went over really well on for everyone I gave it to!

Happy Crafting. 

A good scrap card

Okay, I mostly misssed spring and it's already almost summer, but here is a great card to help you use up all of your scraps. If you are anything like me you save scraps. And I save them to a ridiculous (that's what hubby says) size. I have 4 accordian folders full of small scraps and 2 plastic cases full of larger scrap pages. So I finally decided to do something with the really small pieces. 

Basically I just put together a bunch of matching paper and cut it into strips. The biggest piece is 1.5" by 1. I managed to make 5 of these cars out of  8 little scraps of paper. I really liked them, but the were a little plain so I cut this butterfly from the Indy Art Cricut Cartridge and added some bling. What do you think?

Happy Crafting!

New Card

Wow, I haven't blogged in a while. What a shame because it's National Craft Month. But here goes. I finally got some time to make cards. Okay, I know this is a bad picture, but I took it with my cell phone. I made this card using the Cricut Handy Man Lite Cartridge. My coworker wanted something funny to give to her hubby for his birthday. 

This is what I came up with. It's a lot of pink, but that was the only wood grain paper I had. The pink paper is from American Crafts, and the rest is just random cardstock that I have. The font was printed on my computer.

You Make My Hearth Sing

More Valentines!

 Yes I am on a role with the Sweet Talk Postage Stamp paper. I paired this stamp with some music paper from My Minds Eye and some red patterned paper from Chatterbox. Then I added some chocolate brown cardstock and used a Martha Stewart edge punch. I cut some music notes from my Cricut using Gypsy Wanderings and added a bow of Maraschino Twine from The Twinery.

More Sweet Talk

Okay, I have yet another Sweet Talk paper card. This one is from the same paper as yesterday. I used two Pinecone Press patterned paper, and instead of pink and maroon, I went with brown and maroon cardstock I had a lot of it and I figured that it would be a good idea to try to use it up.

This time I used a Martha Stewart edge punch for the maroon cardstock. 

I like to make several different cards instead of making a bunch of the same one, so I will probably make a few more! Happy Crafting
