Blue and Yellow Stationary Set

I decided to create my mom a stationary set for her desk at school after seeing it on another blog.  The good thing about creating it is that I killed two birds with one stone, I got the stationary set done for her and I am also going to be able to enter it in another challenge at More Than Favors Wacky Wednesday Challenge. The challenge was to create something blue, yellow and white.  I love how my stationary set turned out. I am still going to add a couple more details to it but I wanted to go ahead and enter it in the challenge before it was too late.  Comments and questions are always welcomed.

Stationary Set includes:
2 3x3 mini cards
2 3.5 tags
2 Thank you cards
1 address book
1 pen
a pocket for stamps

Stationary Set Closed I still need to add some finishing touches to the outside of the box

Honey Bee Card

While looking through the Create A Critter cartridge I noticed the bee hive that is an accessory to the bee.  I  was trying to think of a creative way to use it in a valentine card instead of just making a normal 8x5 card, so that I could enter it in another challenge which is the Card Creations and More by C So Saturday Challenge. If you would like to check it out click HERE. This is what I came up with for the challenge let me know what you all think.

I welded two bee hives together on my gypsy which I then cut out at 5 inches. 

This is what I stamped on the inside of the card 

I cut the cute little bee at 3 inches and for his wings I used vellum clear paper and I just bent them up a bit so they would look like she was flapping her wings.  

Sweet Baby Card

This card is just too cute.  I used the Doodlecharms cartridge to create it and my gypsy. It was pretty straight forward to create it.  I just cute the diaper bag out and then cut out the teddy bear, bottle, duck, and little girl.  I also added an initial to the bottom of the card. For the inside I used rub on stickers.

Card closed with all of its goody's I love the little girl she is so cute with her one curl.

Cute Valentine's Card

After I created the card for Momo's challenge I decided to make another valentine's day card. I created a cute card using the following cartridges:
Lacy Labels for the card( which i welded together on my gypsy)
Indie Art for the lips

Then I just used black, white, pink, and glitter pink cardstock. I also used a heart punch to punch out the little hearts at the bottom. I finally outline the card with red stickles just to give it a little kick.  Comments are always appreciated.

Another Challenge

Ok so I am entering in another challenge.  I am entering Momo's Challenge from madebymomo.blogspot.com, you can find the link to her challenge HERE.  The only rules for this challenge were to make a card that used the following colors: Hot pink, white and black and included a heart in some way.

I thought very hard about this I wanted to make a very cute card and I believe I achieved it. Let me know what you all think about it.

I decided to make a stand up card.  I used black cardstock as my base color and then I did white and then the hot pink hearts paper.

I kept it simple, simply because the hot pink paper was really busy I think. So i just used my cricut to cut out Hello Kitty from the Hello Kitty cartridge and I added some pop dots and I was done with that. 

then i stamped Happy Valentines Day on the message card

This is how the card looks like closed
