A Snowman Holliday Card

I had a friend ask me if I could make him a card to send to his sister for Christmas. He asked if I could make it with a snowman and some snowflakes. I was happy to help... I love Christmas and this got me thinking ahead and I love anything with snowflakes!!!

Here is the card that I came up with for him:  

The paper is from recollections, embossed with the snowflakes Cuttlebug Embossing Folder. Studio G glitter is on the snow

The snowman is from the Doodlecharms Cricut cartridge.

The sentiment is a Scrappy Moms Stamp from the Winter Wishes stamp set

Getting Ready For Halloween!!!

This year I have been thinking a lot about Halloween.  We have bought our boy’s their costumes what seems like ages ago which has left me with time to think about all the other things I would like to do!

I decided that I would make cards for the kids in my life...my niece, nephew and friends kids, even some of my friends who live out of town!!

I started the cards a few weeks ago but finished them us on Sunday.  I don’t have a lot of Halloween craft supplies but I do have some Cricut cartridges with Halloween images and a Recollections stamp set. I did buy a glittery green Gelly roll pen :)

On Sunday we had dinner with friends so I did not need to cook or clean up supper, my boys were in bed early, but I was exhausted and head achy :(                            I just had the need to craft but probably should have stopped long before I did, it was one of those nights where I was having a hard time deciding on anything ...lol As it turned out all of my cards look very similar...lol That was not my intent (or it would not have been a much faster craft session..lol)

So Here are the cards I came up with: 

                                   



The Recipe:

The paper is from Recollections and Prima- Sasha Paper Collection

Glitter green and white Gelly roll pen for the faux stitching

Stamped images are from a Recollections stamp set – Halloween

Cricut cartridges: Doodlecharms, Paper Dolls Dress Up, Winter Woodlands

Martha Stewart glitter – Black Onyx

Martha Stewart Stamp Flourished Monograms for the Boo sentiment

I hope you have a wonder full day.

Happy 50th Birthday

My husband’s uncle tuned 50 at the beginning of August. His family had a nice party for him, which turned out to be a lot of fun :)

I wanted to make him something that would be funny and light hearted something that would get a chuckle from him. This is the card I came up with...

This card is an A2 sized card with the mat piece 1/8th" of an inch smaller on all sides. The mat paper has been embossed with the Cuttlebug folder Spots and Dots.

The sun is cut at 2 and 3/4" and it from the Simply Charmed Cartridge. I could not decide on what stamp to use so I turned to the computer for the sentiment for this card!

I did not get to see him open it, but he did tell me that he thought that it was cute!

Thanks for stopping by,

A Fun Way of Saying Thanks

When I have a little “extra" time, and I say it like that because who really has extra time...lol I like to make some thank you cards to tuck away until I need them. I love having them around because we as a family are always sending them out!

I try to make all different kinds of cards so that the person who receives it, I hope will enjoy it or it will be something memorable, a little different than your average thank you card :)



The cuts are from the Simply Charmed Cricut cartridge and the sentiment is from a stamp set I bought at the dollar store!

I still have this card ready to go ... so I’ll be ready the next time I need one ... lol

Thanks for stopping by,
