Christmas Cards 2014

It was so fun to create this year's Christmas cards. No two were the same. I used Stampin' UP! Card stock and Graphic 45 paper to create the cards below. Putting the card stock through my Cuttlebug made the backgrounds pop. The middle two, I used an embossing folder then free hand glitter glued the the card on the embossed areas. It was a joy to make the cards as to give them away. Hope you had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year !

Happy Thanksgiving Memories

This year my son helped me make the punch flowers. As I cut them out, he picked which papers should go with what flowers. He also assembled the flowers, as I tied the "leaves" on. The result was a beautiful Thanksgiving Table and memories I will have forever!  Here's the result of our work:

Flower Cards using the Cuttlebug

My new favorite product is taking Papermania paper packs and making these cards. As you can see they all coordinate together in theme color packs with great designs. In this project, I used the Cuttlebug machine to cut the flowers, bee, and hummingbird as seen in the pictures. Using a dainty ribbon,I made the stem. Papermania also has matching ribbons which I used. So fun to match the paper!  My basic card stock is Sahara Sand and So Saffron from Stampin' UP! And a texture white card stock from American Crafts. Finally, I made the envelope (using the envelope punch scorer.  See picture) and emblished my precut with glitter glue. 

Our September Weekend Getaway! Fun Cards and Crafts!

What a fun weekend we had!  My aunt, mom, and myself went on a girl's getaway. We had some fun making bookmarks for my sons, paper punch flowers and 3D cards. Check out our work here!

Birthday Celebration Card and Triple Layer Birthday Cake

Celebration card is made with patterned papers cut and pieced together in a fun way. I used glue dots to give a 3D effect!

I turned the chocolate chips upside down to make a "button" look for the forty on the cake. 

This was my husband's 40th birthday party!  We threw a big party and had so much fun. The cake was yummy. Leave a comment if you want the recipe and I will post it!  It was a three layer yellow homemade cake with butter cream dark chocolate frosting whipped.  

Happy Birthday

For my mom's birthday, I made this gift card box and gift card holder. I used my Cuttlebug machine and a box template thin die. Taking a cute birthday paper, I made the box.  Then, I cut the "celebration" word out of the paper and glued it on to fit the box. I added more glitter than the paper originally had for balance. This was a fun way to disguise a gift card!
