Jolly Christmas Card

I feel like I cheated with this card!

The sentiment and pattern papers were downloaded and printed from http://www.pinkpetticoat.co.uk/. They are from their "Fairy Lights" collection. I used my Nestabilities in the Cuttlebug to cut the circles and scallops. The snowflakes are from two Cuttlebug dies, and they are covered with Star Dust Stickles and adhered with pop dots for dimension. The "jolly" in the sentiment was also made glittery by going over the letters with a Sakura Quickie Glue pen and sprinkling with loose glitter. The light green twill ribbon in from Martha Stewart.

Everyone uses pastel colors for Christmas cards, right?

"Get Better" Band-Aid Card

How cute is this Band-Aid??

The base was cut from flesh colored Bazzill with the Wild Card cart at 6.5". It fits into a #10 envelope. The phrase was cut from red Bazzill and colored in with Xmas Red Stickles.

Ummmm....That's it!! How much easier can you get??

"Thinking of You" Card

This was a fun little card to make, although the pic makes the colors look a little wonky.

The card base was cut from light green Bazzill at 5.25" with the Wild Card cart. It fits into a standard A2 envelope, so it's not very big. :) The phrase was cut from purple Bazzill and colored with purple Stickles. The outside "ring" was cut from the same purple cardstock and was embossed with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder. The little flower gems are from M's.

"Hi" Card

I like this tri-fold card a lot better. It just look "happier" to me. :)

Same as the other one, it was cut from Bazzill cardstock at 9" with the Wild Card cart. It fits into a #10 envelope. The phrase was colored in with Turquoise Stickles. The printed paper is from the My Mind's Eye Magnolia/Wild Asparagus combo pack they sold at Costco a while ago. The flowers are Prima and the little 5mm rhinestones are made by Darice.

Simple, simple!!

"Hi" Card

This is a fun little tri-fold card, although I'm not too crazy about the colors and how it turned out overall. The picture makes it look even worse! LOL

The card was cut from Bazzill cardstock with the Wild Card cart at 9". It fits into a #10 letter size envelope. The phrase was cut from brown Bazzill and colored in with Cinnamon Stickles. The printed paper is from the My Mind's Eye Signature Suite pad (I told you I love it! LOL). The ribbon is American Crafts, the flowers are Prima, and the little rhinestone is 5mm and made by Darice.

"Get Well Soon" Card

Yeah, I know it's bright!

White A2 base from M's value pack. The printed paper is American Crafts, from M's. The ribbon is from M's, too. The phrase was cut at 2" from Bazzill cardstock with the Beyond Birthdays cart and colored in with Turquoise Stickles.

Easy, easy, easy!

"Hugs To You" Card

Another card I'm not all that pleased with. I suppose some might choose not to show the cards they don't like, but I figure I might as well share the good, the bad, and the ugly. LOL

I used a pre-made white 4" x 5.5" base from a "value pack" from M's. The printed paper is from the My Mind's Eye Signature Suite pad. The phrase was cut at 3" from Bazzill cardstock using the Beyond Birthdays cart and colored in with Stardust Stickles. The brown ribbon is American Crafts and the hydrangeas are from Prima. The little brad is probably from M's or J's.

"Thinking of You" Card

Here is a card that I have made before. Does that mean I have scraplifted myself? LOL

The card is 4" x 5.5" and fits into an A2 envelope. The white base is from one of the "value packs" from M's. The black and white paper is from J's open stock. The "Thinking of You" was cut from DCWV cardstock with the Alphalicious cart at 1.75" using the short stack feature and colored in with Stardust Stickles.. The ribbon is from M's, as are the flowers and rhinestones. The flowers are actually Bride's table confetti from the wedding aisle.

"Thinking of You" Card

This card was cut using the Wild Card cart at 6.5" (I think!) It fits into an A7 envelope. Another simple card, but a fun shape! The cardstock is Bazzill and the "thinking of you" was colored with Diamond Stickles. The little flower gems are from M's.

"Hang In There" Card

Another Wild Card! This one was also cut at 5.5" and fits in a 6x6 envelope. The cardstock is Bazzill and the yellow dot background paper is from the DCWV Nana's Kids stack. The "Hang in there" was colored in with Stardust Stickles. A couple of Prima daisies with a rhinestone in the center finishes this one off.

"God Bless You" Card

I have several cards that I have made recently, and I will be making a separate post for each. I tried uploading several pictures in one, but they didn't line up right and I knew that would irritate me. Most of these cards were made as part of a request from the Cricut MB for cards for someone who is ill and his family.

This card was made using the Wild Card Cricut cartridge (which, by the way, is an AWESOME cart!!). It was cut at 5.5" and fits into a 6x6 envelope. The base was made from Bazzill cardstock and the printed paper is from the My Mind's Eye Signature Suite paper stack. The "God Bless You" was cut from pink Bazzill and "colored" with Stardust Stickles. A couple of Prima hydrangeas with a brad finish it off. Very simple, very quick!!

Snowman ATC

Yet ANOTHER ATC card.  This one was for a "Winter" theme just for fun on the Cricut MB.

This was extremely simple!  The cute little snowman paper is My Mind's Eye.  I just love it!  The green cardstock behind it is Bazzill.  I cut the snowflakes with my Cuttlebug and the Snowflake #2 die, and covered them in Diamond Stickles.  The glittery "yarn" is from Craft Warehouse in their ribbon by the yard section.  I can't remember who makes it, possibly May Arts.  (It was only 29 cents a yard though!  I do remember that!!)  The "let it snow" was printed with my computer and the tag was cut using my Cuttlebug and one of the dies from the Tiny Tags set.  I inked the edges with Ranger Tim Holtz Tea Dye Distress Ink.

"Friends" Card

Alrighty folks, you are in for a rare treat today!  Here is a card I made a few months ago for the Cards For Soldiers on the Cricut MB.  What's rare about this card?  IT WASN'T SCRAPLIFTED!  *GASP*  I know, I know - what is this world coming to??

Again, this card is a standard A2 size - 5.5" x 4.25".  The printed paper is from M's or J's probably (who can remember?) and the cardstock is Bazzill.  I used my Cricut and my beloved George cart to cut out a 4.25" lavender oval, a 3.75" pink oval, a 3.75" transparency oval, and a 3.75" silhouette green oval.  The friends stamp is from the Stampin' Up set "Love Matters" and I stamped it on the transparency with black Staz-On ink.  I used Stickles glitter glue to color it in from behind.  Super easy!!

Daisy Window Card

So here is a thank you card I made for a swap a few months ago.  I lifted the idea from the book "New Concepts in Paper Quilling" by Marie Browning.  The only difference is that hers was blue instead of pink and had a picture of a child instead of a stamp.  Other than that, it's exactly the same.

The card itself is a standard A2 size - 4.25" x 5.5".  The base had a hand cut (read that as pain in the butt!!) 2.5" window and the inner piece has a 1.5" window.  The stamp is from the Stampin' Up set "Figures of Speech".  I stamped it on a transparency sheet with black Staz-On ink and "colored" it in on the back side with Stickles glitter glue.  The daisies are a small punch with 3mm rhinestones in the middle.

This card was a pain in the rear to make due to having to cut out the window openings with a craft knife.  My dear friend Angie has made life simpler for me and has created a .cut file for this card in the Cricut Design Studio.  You can check it out HERE.  Thanks Angie!!
