Nuts about you card

Happy Friday to each of you.  I made this card several weeks back but don’t think I posted it here, so thought I’d share it.

Cute Squirrel card

I’ve used the Create a Critter Cricut cartridge to cut the squirrel, acorn and tree on my Cricut Expression 2.  I then embossed each of the tree parts with embossing folders.  The background papers are all from the Harvest Gathering by DCWV.   I made one of my little spring wiggly things to add to the back of the card so it wobbles back and forth.  It’s so cute.

 

Hope you’ve enjoyed seeing it.  Thanks for stopping by today. xx

Cricut Anniversary Card

Hello Everyone,  I made a card for some super close friends of ours who are celebrating 35 years of marriage.  It’s actually our Pastor and his wife, and after church yesterday we all had an anniversary party for them.  Super fun, and I’m still super full from all of the food (it was a potluck).  I wanted to share with you the card that I made for them.

 

I’ve used my Cricut Expression 2, my Gypsy, and 2 cartridges; Tie the Knot and Elegant Edges.  It had been a few weeks since I’d had time to play with them, so it was a fun card to make.

Anniversary Card Cricut

I used the Elegant Edges cartridge for the card base, the tag and the “35″ font.  The pearl paper layer came from the Elegant Edges cartridge.  I’ll give the cut sizes down below.

 

Someone on YouTube asked what envelope I used for the card.  It fit perfectly into one of those clear envelopes from Stampin’ Up!  You can see in the photo below.

The lace, single pearls, and flowers are all from Wild Orchid Crafts.  I’ve used the 15mm open roses in cream, a 35mm Cranberry Trellis Rose, Guipure lace, 3mm self-adhesive pearls, and 5mm self-adhesive pearls.

Here’s a closer look:

I just love using their products (even before I started designing for them). :)

Friendship…

Hi Everyone, I have a cute little friendship card for you today. The stamp sheet that I’m using today is called “Inspirational Phrases.” I absolutely love this set! There are 28 different sentiments and phrases on this sheet, so you can see how you would easily get a lot of miles out of it! :) I thought the “Your friendship is a special blessing” sentiment was just the phrase I needed for this cute, whimsical card that I created to give to my friend.

Cricut Expression 2 Country Life Cartridge IBFS
My card base measures 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ so is a standard A2 size. I’ve used a paper line that I’ve had in my hoarding vault all summer because I love it so much. :) It’s by Echo Park called “A Walk in the Park,” and I’ve used my Cricut and the Country Life cartridge to create the fun little happy sun image and tied some baker’s twine around the top note that I’ve mounted it on and then added a few little buttons.
This is what the rest of the stamp sheet looks like:

Vintage Sewing Machine

 

Hi Ladies,

I Brake for Stamps
I created this thank you card for a sweet elderly lady that just did some sewing for my daughters. The background stamp is the vintage sewing machine from I Brake for Stamps. It’s very intricate and detailed. The card base is Kraft, the patterned paper is from the Mariposa stack, and the sewing machine due cut was cut with my Cricut E2 (I added Rick Candy Stickles to it). The seam binding is from Wild Orchid Crafts, and the true vintage button came from my stash.
