Lady Bug Birthday Invitations and birthday cards!!!

Hey happy sunday everyone. Hope you all had a great weekend. I know I did it was busy but a lot of fun.I did a lot of scrapbooking that I needed to get done and my brother came to visit for the day from las vegas. We also had a family reunion and of course today church. So here are a few projects I did this weekend. First are some little lady bug birthday invitations that I made for my friend at work LuAnn's granddaughter Bella!!! We saw the idea online and I decided that even though I didnt have a cartridge to do them that I could use one of my other cartridges and my gypsy and do them. So I used my serenade cartridge that had a circle but you could probably use any other one you have with a circle. I took different sized circles and place one to over lap the other and welded them together then I cut a large red one the size of my bottom black one for the lady bug body and cut it in half to make the wings. I then put a brad through the wings and body so that they would move. then cut lots of tiny ones for the spots this is how they turned out.

This next project I did was for my friend Jazmin she is having her baby on monday. Its a boy so I made a cute congrats card for her. I used my create- a - critter cartridge finally!!!! I had been waiting all week to finally try it out. I cut the monkey and vine out at 3.5 inch. I cut the banana out at 1 inch. I used zig two way glue to put the monkey together and my atg gun to tape him to the card. The card is cut out at 10x5. I folded it in half and put a cut ribbon around the top. I also used my new martha stewart corner rounder to round the corners on the card.

The next two projects are birthday cards one for my aunt Lisa and the other is for my cousin Devin. On my aunt Lisa's card I decided to use create-a-critter cartridge. I am just loving this cartridge they are simple layered projects but really pop and are so cute. I cut the owl at 4 inch. I put it together with zig two way glue. Next i cut  the pink card stock at 7x6 1/2 and the k&company meadow&breeze paper a quarter of an inch smaller on each side. I used my atg gun to tape the two together and used pop dots to put the owl on. I then used my martha stewart corner rounder on the corners. I was simple and way cute.

Ok so now for Devins card this turned out way cute but was probably one of the hardest cards I have made the Mr. Incredible was just so detailed and had very small cut outs. I cut him at 4 inchs and used zig two way glue to put him together. Then I cut a little blue card stock at 10 x 5 inchs and folded it in half the next layer with the star paper I cut a quarter inch smaller on each side. I cut the red at 5x1 inch. I then used my atg gun to tape all the layers together and lots of small pop dots to put Mr. incredible on. This is one of my favorite cards and if you are good with small cut outs you should try this card.

Last but not least I made this simple thank you card for my mom. She got me some really cute new shoes and she is in love with shoes that is where I got it. I cut the purple at 10x 5  the green a quarter inch smaller and the shoe paper a half inch smaller. I ran the green through my cuttlebug and used my atg gun to tape them all together and put the ribbon on as well. I then cut the shoe from the gypsy wanderings at 3 inchs and used a pop dot to put it on the card. She loved it and it was very simple.

Well that is all of it. I had a great weekend doing all of these projects. I hope you enjoy them and enjoy your sunday!!!!!

Create-a-Critter!!!

I finally got the create a critter cartridge!!! I have been wanting it for a while now. I cant wait to use it this week so look for some fun new projects. Also one of these days I am going to get some pictures printed so I can get some scrapbooking done so look for some fun new stuff and have a great day!!!! ( so sad I didnt make robyns MPS DT. :( oh well I guess there is always next time.)

Date Night!!!

This is a very easy and way cute card. Me and my hubby had a date night last night and I finally got him to scrapbook with me for about 20 min. :) So this is the card he made.We used some cute designer paper (sorry can't remember what it is I got it years ago). Also some other colors of card stock. First cut the green paper at 10x6. Next cut the blue at 9 and 3 quarters by 5 and 3 quarters. Cut the designer paper at 9 1/2 by 5 1/2. We ran the blue card stock through the cuttlebug with the swiss dots folder. then glued then all on the folded in half sheet of green. Next we used the pooh and friends cartridge and cut the pooh out at 4 inch. and glued him on last. Then the last thing was we stamped a happy birthday on the front. Enjoy!!!

Happy Birthday DAD!!!

This was a very simple card I did for my dad last week I didn't post it till now so that he wouldn't see it. I am not sure I am totally in love with it but it was still cute and he loved it. I used a few colors of card stock and cut the boy out at 4 inch. from the Paper Dolls Cricut Cartridge. Then I used my happy birthday stamp to stamp happy birthday all over the whole thing. It was really easy.

Another Explosion Box

Here is another explosion box I have started. I just loved the first one so much I decided to do another one. I want to put pictures in this one and some more designs but that is going to take a little time. I will take some more pictures of this when it is done so you can see it. I just wanted to show you that you can do one with a few layers to it as well. I hope you guys like it and again check out the videos on this on youtube.

Its Friday!!!

Hey everyone. Its Friday and I got the day off work so I decided to do some projects and boy did I!!!! This will be the first of a few posts today. I have a few projects I want to share with you. Also I am way excited that tomorrow is Saturday and Robyn from MY PINK STAMPER will be choosing her design team. Wish me luck it would be so fun and a dream come true. There was a lot of great talent that entered though it will  be hard to choose. Ok so on to the first project. My first explosion box. I found this idea on Gamma's Creative Corner. If you haven't seen her blog it is really fun go check it out. This project was so fun and really actually easy. It did take a little time but I think it was mostly me trying to decide how I wanted to decorate it. I made this for my aunt for her birthday so I hope she doesn't get on here and see it before I give it to her. I am just too excited to share it I cant wait.

I used 3 sheets of designer card stock
Serenade cricut cartridge
zig two way glue
