Simply Charmed ... It's Your Birthday!

I recently sold some of my cards ... yah for me! A friend asked if I would make a couple of birthday cards for her to give to her mother and mother-in-law. I made six, to give her a choice, and she pick three ... this was one of them.

I used patterned paper from Echo Park, cardstock from Stampin' Up, and a flower from the Simply Charmed Cricut cartridge. I dressed the flower up a bit with some doodling and I used pop dots between each layer. The sentiment is a stamp from Verve Stamps. I stamped it using Versamark ink and then embossed it with white embossing powder. To finish, I added a little blue ribbon. Simply and fun!

A Belated Birthday Card

Here's another quick card I made using my Imagine. All of the papers and images are from the Imagine More Circut cartridge. I cut everything using the layers feature and I cut an extra flower so I could pop it up. The card base was made with cardstock from PaperTrey Ink and I added a few buttons, some twine and a sentiment from Verve Stamps. I'm still amazed at how quickly you can create a card with the Imagine!!

Kate's ABCs Flower

This is a card I made for my friend Kelly.  It's a large card, 5"x7" ... I wanted lots of room for that flower. I used the Kate's ABCs Cricut cartridge for the flower. I cut the layers at 3.5", 3", 2.5", 2" and 1.5", spritzed them all with Juneberry Wine Glimmer Mist and then scrunched them up a bit. There's a pop dot between each layer, so the flower has a lot of dimension.  I added a self-adhesive pearl and finished it with leaves made using a Martha Stewart punch. The flower is layered over a a Bo Bunny chipboard swirl, a doily (inked with with Tim Holtz Antique Linen distress ink and Stampin' Up Champagne Mist shimmer ink), and a little pearl trim. 

On the inside, I used a Verve sentiment stamp, added a Bo Bunny chipboard flower and a self-adhesive pearl, and layered this over the little extra piece of doily that I used on the front of the card.

I'm very happy with this one ... it's perfect for Kelly! Hope you like it too.

It's Your Birthday Sundae!

Here's a card I made for my friend, April. April always appreciates my cards ... I love that! Anyway, my cute sundae image is a digital from Pink Petticoat. If you're interested in digitals, you should check them out. They have lots fun images to choose from and have digital papers, too.

 I colored  this with Copics, added a little glitter, then used Glossy Accents on the cherry and dish. The scalloped ovals are from the Lacy Labels Cricut cartridge. I  pop dotted the pink and purple layers and used an Action Wobble to attached the layer with the image. Finish it with some Stampin' Up ribbon and a sentiment from Verve Stamps. Oh, I also used a Stampin' Up border punch to finish the bottom edge of the blue layer. Too cute!!

Nate's ABCs Anniversary Card

 Nate's ABCs is my new favorite cartridge and I can't wait to get my hands on Kate's ABCs. I chose the Quail, cut at 4.25" for this anniversary card, inked the edges and 'pop dotted' the wing.

To dress it up a bit, I added some twine, prima flowers and stick pins.

And here's a peek at the inside. My sentiments are stamps from Verve. Hope you like this one ... thanks for stopping by!

This Year's Fair Entry

This is a shaped card I made to enter into our county fair. The cake is from the Wedding Solutions cartridge. Using my Gypsy, I welded it to a rectangle from the George and Basic Shapes cartridge. The patterned paper and cardstock are from Stampin Up. I used UTEE to emboss the cake stand ... it really made it look 'glass like'. I added some flowers, pearls and lots of stickles. 

Here's a look at the inside ... the sentiment is  from Verve Stamps.

By the way, I did get a First Place ribbon for this one!

Golfer's Birthday Card

I used my Gypsy and the George and Basic Shapes cartidge to create the golf club and ball. I used Cuttlebug folders to dry emboss the golf ball and the golf club head & handle. I also embossed the golf club head with UTEE.

The grass was made using a Martha Stewart punch and the sentiments are from Verve Stamps.
