Gift Card Holder - Birthday Card

Happy Birthday to you!

Today Josh went to a Birthday Party for one of his classmates, which so happened to be a girl. Now I don't really know what to buy for a little girl so I took the safe route....you know it....gift cards! To make sure the "wrapping" was dolled up a bit; I pulled out my Gypsy and started to play. What I ended up with was this so very cute cupcake card meant to hold gift cards. Josh did tell me that she was not a real girlie-girl, but I think that every girl, girlie-girl or not, loves a bit of sparkle and bling.

To recreate this card you will need the following cartridges and accents:

CTMH Art Philosophy Cartridge - Used for the big tag card
Straight From the Nest Cricut Cartridge - Used to create the cupcake and Happy Birthday saying
Liquid Glass - Used to make the cherry glossy
Stickles - Used to add sparkle
Large Brad (or ribbon) - Used in the hole in the top of the tag, you can use ribbon if you prefer.

Teacher's Valentines Card

Hello again,

 A Valentine’s Day gift for Josh's teacher is just not complete without a card. To continue with the same theme of the goodie bag I made this cute little toad card. I used the CTMH Art Philosophy Cartridge to make the circle scallop card and once again used the Cricut Lite Live Simply Cartridge. Not to play on words but I do think that Josh and his whole class, including his teacher, will have a TOADLY awesome Valentine’s Day!

One More Letter for Santa

After a long week at work some relaxing scrapbooking fun with my friends is just what the doctor ordered. Not having any idea what I was going to work on, I decided to continue with the exploration of my Cricut Cartridges. After my son I created the cute little elf card, I wanted to make some more of the cute little guys. The question is what....so I was thinking what is one of the first things you associate with Santa? Letters to Santa of course, so using the Jolly Holidays Cricut Cartridge, I created this cute little fella delivering a letter to Santa’s mailbox. As if Santa's Elf’s aren't cute enough by themself, some liquid glaze and stickles make them ADORABLE!

Here's a Holly Jolly Elf to get you in the Christmas Spirit

Hi .... I Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and survived the Black Friday Shopping. I was hoping that I would find a new Cricut Cartridge that was a "Black Friday" Premier, unfortunately there were none. Luckily I was able to get the Jolly Holidays Cartridge last Black Friday so I decided to grab it and start exploring...I found quit a few cute little elves. While we were watching Hallmark Christmas movies on a dreary Sunday my son asked if he could make something, which of course I told him YES. So we sat down and made this cure little card. I foresee many more Christmas Elves around my house. I love this cartridge.
