Cute Lady!!!

A couple of cute cards I made today, saw them on You Tube. The one on the left is for my sweet niece Erica. Her birthday is right around the corner. I used my new Spellbinders Nestabilities die to cut out the body for my lady bug. I loooove these dies! Soooo easy to use! I am really lovin' the border punch I bought from the Martha Stewart line as well. I use it a lot! It adds just the right touch to an other wise plain card. The recipe:
Close to My Heart Items: Cranberry, Colonial White, and Black cardstock. Black stamp pad. Purchased ribbon. Tools: 1/4 inch hand punch, 1" circle punch, Spellbinders Classic scalloped circles large, Martha Stewart eyelet border punch.
It has been a while since I have posted.... just life I suppose. Hope you all are well and are enjoying the beginning of Summer!
Until next time!

Isn't this card absolutely adorable?!?! I saw several versions of it while surfing the web, so when I saw it of course, I haaadd to make it! Well, of course I did not have the paticular dies or stamps I had seen used to make the flowers with; soooo after trying a flower stamp that I did have and cutting then all out, they really looked "flat"! So during my trip up to Va. the other day, (the closest place that has a Michael's, AC Moore, etc.) I found the most perfect flower die by Sizzix. It has three different flowers on the one die. So, that is what I used to create my flowers for this cute card with! Only the solid brown paper is by Close To My Heart, but I have not received my order as of yet. This card has an insert tag that the flowers are attatched to the top of that you can stamp or write a message on. I think it is the cutest thing. I am making one for my two sisters asap. :) The pic below is of the insert removed from the card.
Here is another card I recently made as well. It is a pop up card. When you pull on the sides of the card your message, or whatever you put on the pop out pops up!
Cute huh?? Okie dokie! Just wanted to share these toadally cute cards with ya!
Have a super day!

Whoa... what a past couple of weeks! Between everybody being sick, a family situation, Gage's 5th birthday party, and Mother's Day, I am finally making a new post.
I saw this cute pop-up card on you tube and thought I'd make it for my mom for Mother's Day.
So, here is how it turned out. Of course I used Close To My Heart papers and Stickease from the Unforgettable set. Hopefully I will be able to send in a order soon so I can get some new paper to play with.



This is a little card I made to go along with it so I could write a little message inside of it to my mom. I cut the little butterfly and the word Mother out with my Cricut.
Hope everyone had a blessed and happy Mother's Day! TTFN!

That was Toadally Awesome Fun!!!













My oldest grandson's birthday is next week, so I made him this really, really cute card! I found the instructional video by Stampin' Hands on you tube. This card was a little un-nerving to do for the first time but I bet, my soon to be next one, won't be! I just love the element of surprise this card gives to it's recipient. I used DCWV cardstock as well as paper from the Use 'Em for Anything paper stack from HOTP. The balloons and gators were from a sheet of stickers I had picked up some time ago from the Dollar Tree they turned out super great for this card, don't ya think?! I am ready right now to make another one!
This next card is one that I made for my oldest grandaughter, Banna Girl that is what I call her.





Her card is a called a spinner card because two pennies put together under the butterfly makes the butterfly spin and turn along the open path it is on.
Okie Dokie! If ya have questions you can post them over there in that little box, or you can leave them in the comment place right under this post. Maybe I will be getting a vid camera for "my" birthday later this month. Then I can make vids and post 'em here for you to follow.
Until next time, have a wonderful day!

Here with a few projects I have just made.
I just had to make this criss-cross card after I'd seen it numerous times across the internet. Really fun and quick card to make. For this one I used the Close To My Heart "Emporium B&T Duos from the Level 2 paper pack," as well as a couple stickers from the "My Stickease" stickers in the "Emporium" group for the tab to pull out the card. The card is made from the buttercup and white daisy cardstock. The green dotted ribbon is offray. The words and circle were stamps from the "Noteworthy" and "Connections" stamp sets.

Here is another really fun, but quick gate fold card to make. This card I made using Close To My Hearts "Unforgettable B&T duo Level 1 kit which includes the stickease adhesive sheet."










And one last card, a double pocket card. Made also from the "Unforgettable" Level 2 paper packet.
Okie dokie. That is all for now. Have a happy day!

Cool Flip Flap Album

Here is the newest project I have been working on for the past couple days. I saw this idea on you tube by 2worldswings. I didn't really like the spiral binder on the album, so I made it without one. This is my variation of that project. I really had a load of fun creating this project.
This is the front. It opens in a gatefold manner.
This is accessed behind the front part of the album by turning the page. The page on the left also has a gatefold that opens to a single page. On the right, Is a single page with a smaller page folded over it.
...and then the back of the album.

I used the "My Reflections Emporium" scrapbook kit from "Close To My Heart" to make the album. The kit contained all the coordinated designer papers, card stock and the stickers to complete this project.
