New Home Card

A friend of mine had just moved into their new home.  Here is the card I came up with.  I created the house in MTC.  I used Colorbox yellow paper and the brown paper Core Dimentions from Joann's Fabric, Swirls Cuddlebug embossing folder, Tim Holtz tea dye ink for edging the house and Spellbinders square label die for sentiment which was typed on the computer. The grass and tulips are from the Give A Hoot cartridge. And last but not least the bling I picked up at Michaels. Thanks so much to those of you who leave comments. I enjoy reading them. Thanks for stopping by.

Are you feeling lucky, Irish that is??

Are you feeling lucky? Irish that is.  This cute little bear from the Bears on Parade cartridge shows we can all use a bit of luck.  And how lucky we are when we have more friends than our house can hold. (an old Irish saying).  The bear was cut at 2". I used the new year hat instead of the one they have for the Irish bear outfit. I used a stargel glitter pen to add sparkle to his hat, jacket & the pot of gold. The shamrocks were cut at 1" from the Create a Critter 2 cartridge. I used the swiss dots cuddlebug folder for the shamrocks and the green layer background paper. I cut the shamrock stripe paper (from Reflections All Seasons paper pack) with a Spellbinders label die. The bear and the shamrocks are on pop dots.  The sentiment was printed on the computer. This card was entered into the Cardz TV Challenge.

Comments are appreciated. Thanks for stopping by.

Roo Hops to another challenge!

Roo hops to another challenge over at the Pink Elephant for the Pink and red challenge http://thepinkelephantchallenge.blogspot.com/ and Crafty Cards Challenge at CardzTV for the critter valentine challenge.  I love the way Roo came about and being able to make my own action spring gizmo. LOL  I created Roo in MTC.  His face is a Peachy Keen PK754 Critter stamp set.  I used the Everyday Paper Dolls cartridge for the guitar and the microphone. I also made the heart boarder in MTC. The sentiment label was edged in Memento Angel Pink ink and is from the Spellbinders Label 4 nestibilites die set.  As always comments are appreciated. Thanks for stopping by.

Kids Valentine Cards

Hello Friends,
I have entered another challenge over at Cardz TV.  You are to make 3 kids cards cut at 3".  I had so much fun I made a a skunk that came out so "stinking cute" LOL.  I used the cricut cartridges Birthday Bash for the square card which is really listed as a tag.  I used Create a Critter  1 for the cow and the skunk. I used Bears on Parade for the Bunny and Create a Critter 2 for the owl.  I used a banner die from Simon Sez for the sentiments which I typed and printed from the computer. I'm going to mail these out to my granddaughter tomorrow.  Comments are always welcome. Thanks for stopping by.

Bear Bell??

I created this card for the holidays and never posted it or entered in a challenge. But it just so happens that they are having a challenge over at Cupcake Craft for anything with a bell and over at Red Carpet Studio for a Bear card.  I cut the bear from cricut cartridge Bears on Parade and cut him at 2.5".   I put him on my own made spring action so he shakes. (see post below on Roo's 1st video) I also hand drew his eyes and mouth. I didn't have a Peachy keen critter stamps yet.    I found the cute bell at Joann's Fabric.the pom pom is silver & white.  The candy cane and mug are cut from a Stampin Up die and stamp set, along with the sentiment stamped in true red ink and border paper and ribbon.

anything goes and Red black & White Challenges

Hello All,

I joined a color challenge at Cardz TV.  We are just to use black, red and white.  And the anything goes at Creative Inspiration Paint Challenge. This is what I came up with. I cut the butterfly at 2" from cricut cartridge Wall Decor & more.  The heart from Doodle Charms. I used the black background with a spellbinders die.  I used Cuddlebug Swiss dots for the white card stock.  I found the red  heart buttons at Michaels and of course I had to add some bling to the butterfly with heart shape crystals, also found at Michaels.   Thanks for stopping by.

In cupcake mode?????

Back in cupcake mode? Sort of. LOL This is a sock cupcake for valentine's day. It's a late entry over at Scappy Mom's 3D Valentine Challenge.  I'm entering it in a dessert challenge over at Pause Dream Enjoy and Cupcake Crafts challenge. I found these chocolate color socks. I wrapped them around tight and put a rubber band on the bottom to secure it.  Then added a red pom pom as a cherry on top. I created the cupcake wrapper in MTC. The picture doesn't do it justice, but in person it looks good enough to eat. LOL. Thanks for stopping by. As always comments are welcome.
