Some past cards

I just wanted to share some past cards I have made.  I hadn't done a lot of crafting for quite a while and then decided to get things going again.  The pictures aren't great because I was just snapping photos just for me and not for a blog :)

Hope you enjoy.


This is a card I made for my brother-in-laws birthday.  I used distress inks for the background and Silhouette images for the other items.  I can't remember the stamp set used though.

This next one is a card I made for a baby shower.  I found the image on Pinterest.  I couldn't ever find who created it though.  If you know please comment below so I can give credit.  I used my Prima watercolors to paint the image.  Love how this one turned out.

This one is one I made for my son-in-law's birthday.  He likes dragons so I went with this image from How to Train Your Dragon.  Love that show.  I also found this one online and was not able to track down the artist.  Very good image.  I used my TouchNew alcohol markers to color it.  

This one is an anniversary gift for my son and daughter-in-law.  I used my Silhouette to trace the image and cut it out.  I think it is super cute.

This is just a little St. Patrick's Day decoration I made.  It is a Snap Dragon Snippets design I got from the Silhouette store.  Design id #75648

I made this shaker tag for my for my soon to be neice-in-law.  I made her a wreath with these flowers for her bridal shower gift and used some of the leftover flowers for the tag.  I think it is beautiful.

The tag was a basic on from Silhouette Design Store.  The flower is also from Silhouette Design Store.  Rolled Rosette Design ID #178393.  I will have a tutorial on the wreath in the next few days.

Last but not least are my Easter cards I made for my kids.  The stamp set is Ewe are Awesome from  Clearly Besotted.  I cut the words with my Silhouette.  That was not so much fun trying to cut such thin letters.  I wish I had a die for that haha.

I hope you enjoyed looking at my past creations and look forward to have you enjoy my future creations!

SCC Week 2 Day 1

Ok ok so I skipped ahead a whole week haha.  I haven't finished all of my cards for week one and really wanted to start on the sketches that were posted for week two.

For this card I chose the circle card sketch.  I love the paper.  It is from Stampin Up.  I am in love with hexagons right now!

Enjoy!

Happily Ever After

So the boyfriend of 4 1/2 yrs ask me if I would make a card for him to give me haha.  It is better than buying one for myself.  I told him I would and decided it would be awesome because then it would definitely be one I liked. I also told him it needed to have the words will you marry me written inside.  We have already talked about getting married.  We are getting married.  I just want the formality of being ask. :)

I also decided that this one would be perfect for entering in the Simon Says Stamp Card Challenge.
This inspiration for this challenge is hearts.  I love the falling hearts die from Simon Says Stamp.  I figured it would be perfect for a challenge that was hearts. 

Enjoy.

 

 

 

Birthday Cupcake

I made this card for my brother in law.  I wanted to make sure it wasn't too girlie or too much little kid being he is in his 30's :)

I used Stampin' Up! My Digital Studio 2.  Right now it is free to try for 30 days so I figured I would download it and try it out.
I printed all of the patterned papers from what is available for you in the trial version.  I used my cupcake punch from Stampin' Up! for the cupcake.  The sentiment is also from the MDS2.  I printed it out and cut the banner, then inked the edges with SU pumpkin pie ink. The center was cut out and the frame was made using the small circle nestabilities dies.

Enjoy!
