Ho Ho Ho!

A Christmas card although we are still before thanksgiving...

I used some snowflakes eyelets, and a lot of glitter.

Until next time!

Please Don't Start Buying Cats

Happy Birthday,

please don't start buying cats.

I made this card for a special lady who owns a ranch in Ramona. 

She must have 80 horses there and 9 dogs roaming around.

Now this card makes sense, doesn't it?

Until next time!

Happy Birthday Doctor!

Happy Birthday Doctor!

I needed a card for my daughter's boyfriend, a very smart 24 year old in medical school.

This is what I came up with after browsing the internet for ideas.

I used a white linen, a black and silver card stock for the stethoscope and pen in the pocket.

With my cuttlebug and the Lifestyle Crafts Circle, I cut the different circles.

The button was made out of pearlized paper and the Papertrey Ink Buttons cutting die.

The hardest part was to figure out the folding to make it look even... (I am a little size challenged.)

But I made it and loved the result.

Father's Day Bendy Card

Father's Day Bendy Card

This is another cutting file from Bird (cardsbybirds.com); the card is pretty easy to assemble once your silhouette cuts all the 3 parts, the card itself, the front of it and the little stars.

It stands on its own once it is folded.

The size of the card is smaller than an A2, but since I wasn't mailing it, I didn't bother altering the size.

I think it is pretty cute!

Every cloud

Every cloud...

has a silver lining

If there is a tool I do not regret buying, that would be the Fiskars cloud punch. 

I have been using it over and over, mixing and matching the two size of clouds I have.

Cut out of white linen and on a kraft card stock with dimensional stickies, it has the best effect....

With Love

With Love

It has been a while since I haven't posted anything.

Well, I am back!

Here is a cutting file from Birds, (birdscards.com), I used gold and silver card stock.

Resizing the cutting file to make A2 cards, and adding a white linen insert were the two alterations I made to Bird's card.

Baby Card Teddy Bears

I used Martha Stewart teddy bear punches, and made a few in brown, pink and blue.

I then lined them up on a white panel with a printed sentence.

Until next time.

#1 Dad, #1 Mom

Another cutting file from Bird and if you resize the cup a little narrower, it will fit in an A2 envelope.

Until next time...

Mother's Day Butterflies

This time, I used a cutting file from Bird, with my Silhouette Cameo and made a few different cards in changing the framed sentiment.

Here is a Mother's day one, but it could also be a sympathy, birthday or else.

Until next time.

Thank You Cut Out

With a cutting file from GetSilvered, it is such a pleasure to create new cards in a minute.

So do check up her site: 

http://www.getsilvered.com/

The cutting files are free and they come in several format, svg, studio, etc...

The only thing to do with the silhouette is to size the file so as the card will fit in an A2 envelope.

As you might know by now, I have a little something for Tiffany blue, so I added a folder inside the card in that color.

Until next time.

Happy Birthday 2U

Another very easy card, thanks to Bird... check out her silhouette studio files on 

birdscard.com.

I cut it in white card stock and the shadow sentiment in blue card stock. Off centering the circle, made the card a little different.

Until next time!

Happy BEAR-thday

Happy BEAR-thday

Hopefully my son will understand the pun. 

Back to greeting cards, after the driftwood boats little interlude.

This card is for my youngest son, a very proud (and very smart)  UCLA Bruin.

Every year, finding a new idea for a card is a challenge... so I let the ideas simmer and brew, and this is what I came up with.

I love when the number of years appear on the card because at one point you can't remember when was the card for.

 I used an embossing folder for the background and printed the Bruin before framing it in blue and yellow.

  Bauhaus 93 is the font the closest to the UCLA font.
