Golf Card Masculine

 

I made this card using Cricut All Sports for grandson, Kyle.    He just placed second in regional golf tournament.  He is freshman in HS but this is second year playing on varsity HS golf team....    Can you guess which one is Kyle?  (no he is not the team mascot, this is last year (8th grade) ..   He actually qualified as one of the five finalist that played in the state tournament for his high school team!

Pin Em Wrestler

 
Cricut All Sports Cartridge:

I made this card for my grandson Mason.  He wrestled on his 4th grade middle school this year.   I find that it is much easier to design if I have a specific subject or individual in mind...   vs. just a generic card....    I am going to start using challenges to try and expand my design ideas....   This card came together quickly because I used his school colors and wanted it specific to wrestling....  

Mason winning GOLD!

Criss Cross Card

Cricut 3 Birds on Parade cartridge ... and phrase....   Scallop circles using Art Philosophy cartridge (CTMH).   All papers are double sided from K and company.....

Dragonfly Birthday Card

This card is made using designer paper....   I took design from paper and cut out the dragonfly and leaf.  I used foam tape to elevate the leaf and dragonfly for dimension....   I used a cordinating paper on left side of card trimmed with scallop punch (stampin up).  The ribbon was from my scrap jar.  The Happy Birthday and punch are Stampin Up....   

Just a Note

This card was made using all scraps.....   I used a piece of paper out of a notebook ( 4 x 6)..  I trimmed it down and used an EK Success punch for top...   I used a red pencil to draw the margin on paper to resemble school paper....  The paper is from Stampin Up...   The wildflower stamp is from Rubbernecker and the greeting from Hero Arts....    

Masculine Pickup Truck Card

Masculine Birthday Card using stamp from Hobby Lobby and punch from EK Success....   I stamped truck and cut it out....  placed it on foam tape for dimension....   used silver brads for side mirros and tail lights....   cut tail gate for authenticity.....   inked edges with expresso ink (Stampin Up)....  Paper is from my stash....   I think it is Paper Studio from Hobby Lobby.      

4th of July Rosette Card

This is the first card I made using a Rosette.  I think it creates a dramatic effect for such a quick and simple technique.....    I had to design a special envelope for these cards using a gusset effect because of thickness created by rosette....      I don't know why but I thought Rosettes required templates or special tools, they don't and they are very simple to make.    If you haven't tried making one, give it a try.   You can change the style by making strips wider or by using punches on one edge....   I used 2 strips 1" wide x 12" long and used the scallop punch (stampin up) on one side of strip....   I used Martha Stewart Score Pad to score strips every 1/2 "......    I used sticky tape on the first couple  to adhere circles to front and back of rosette....   but now use hot glue gun...   (it is stronger and secures the folds immediately)  

Butterfly Birthday Card

Birthday card for friend ... one of many in September....   Border punch, ribbon and stamps from Stampin Up.  Butterflies are cut from Cricut....   Buttons are from Joann's.    Labels on front of card are cut from Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge....    Everything on this card was cut from scraps....    It went together in record time....   

Kite Card

 

Kite card for Grandson, Kyle, celebrating graduation from 8th grade.....

 

 

 

 

Bird Card

This is a very Clean and Simple design that went together quickly.   I used the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge for the bird and the inside label.      The cricut makes layering a breeze.  All papers are from K& Company.   The outside card label and greeting are punches and stamp from Stampin Up.   The inside greeting is from Rubbernecker....  I love using humor and  find it more appealing than offering an apology for "forgetting"  anyone on their one special day of the year..    

Sunflower Birthday Card

This card was stamped with Close to My Heart stamp of the month for July.   My daughter loves Sunflowers so I will use this stamp set for her....    It is perfect for this time of year..   fall offers my favorite color combinations....  and this stamp set allows so many options for designs...   I really love it!  The leaf is a button from my stash!   

Born to shop

I used the Cricut Nifty Fifties Cartridge for the poodle...   The girl is a Stampendous Stamp colored with prisma pens and cut out and mounted with foam tape.....    I used flocking on the poodle's neck, crown, tail and ankles...    The inside script is from Rubbernecker Stamps and the outside "Born to Shop"  was printed on computer...  The zebra print and cheetah print are Recollection paper pack frokm Michaels....      This was a fun card to design and make...   I think we all have friends that would get a chuckle when receiving this card....   I love Rubbernecker Stamps humor...   

Lemon Stamp Set

 

This is a Gift card set made with Lemon Stamp from Stampin UP (Retired).  All papers are from Stampin Up.

Rosette Birthday Card

 

Here's another Birthday Card.....    Still need to make 3 more before the end of the month.....    Love making rosettes but they don't git in a regular envelope.....   I will need to design an envelope with a gussett if I am going to use this design again for cards....    As a last resort a padded  envelope could be used but I like the idea of the gusset better!   

Baby shoes Card

This is a card made for our niece and husband who recently had their second child another beautiful baby boy, Luke Michael.....   This is a fun card made using a Sizzix Die...

Memories Card

This was a fun card to make.   I took a relatively plain designer paper and stamped it with 5 different stamps.  I used the Cricut Summer in Paris Cartridge for the Dress Form.   The paper inside the envelope is the same paper as on face of card but without the stamping and distressing....    I have a Creative Memories Papercutter that cuts wavy cuts.  I love using it for creating top layers instead of using typical rectangular or oval top layers.   

From My Kitchen Cricut Cartridge

I made this birthday card for a friend that actually designs and sells aprons....    She also has a fabulous vegetable and herb garden so that was my consideration when chosing the paper.   

Memory card for Grandson

Every morning while visiting son and family my grandson, Mason, would always ask me to make him  breakfast.  Although we changed it up from time to time it was usually eggs with ham and cheese....
