Another challenge

It's been a while since I last posted on here and I do apologize I have been swamped with work. I have had no time to work on anything. Hopefully things will start slowing down now and I will be able to post more then just once a week. Now onto the challenge which is over at Fantabulouscricut the challenge for this week is to create a square card using the colors green and gold.I am also entering it at scrappy moms which was to create a card using the sugar and spice cartridge. The last place I am entering it in is over at Wacky Wednesday challenge at More Than Favors blog the challenge there is to create a St Patricks day theme. Below you will find my creation I decided to make a card that slides to open instead of the usual. I really was not sure of how it would look like in the end but i am very pleased with it.






Card base and layers are from sugar and spice cartridge, lucky and the horse shoe are from create a critter cartridge and the four leaf clover is hearts welded together on the gypsy. I used stickles to outline the word lucky.






Here is a close up of my heart four leaf clovers which I used glossy accents on also





Here you can see the card opened. It slides to the side. I just put a prong in the middle of the four leaf clover in order for the card to do this.





Please do not forget that if you like what you see please follow my blog. I really do appreciate it.

Toad-ally awesome

Over the weekend after going to see the parades my mom asked me if I could make her some thank you cards for some of her students. I said sure why not. She wanted something short and sweet. So I decided to make 4x4 cards for her with the create a critter cartridge. Hope you all like them I had a lot of fun making them. Like always feel free to comment and if you are not already following me please add me. One last thing I am working on some birthday invitations that I need to have done by Friday(wish me luck not sure if that's possible) so be on the look out for that post. I will tell you one thing the cards are toy story related(boy that cartridge has a lot of cuts for every character. ).








I even created matching envelopes for each card but the pictures I took came out all blurry sorry about that.

Gellin'

Hello again I hope everyone is having a good Friday night. I decided to stay at home today and watch a movie with my hubby since we will be going out tomorrow night to Mardi Gras parades.  Well anyways I decided to go ahead and make a quick post of this card that I have been working on.  I finally completed it and I LOVE how it came out I am entering it in a contest Here.

The fish bowl and everything else are from Create a Critter Cartridge and I used my gypsy to weld two fish bowels together and I cut them at  5 inches each, the jellyfish is cut at 2.50 inches I stamped his face using Peachy Keen Stamps Wide Eyed assortment same for the starfish.  As far as the saying goes I just typed it up on my computer, printed it out and used a circle cutter to cut it and then I used an ink pad to pass it around the edges.  Oh one more thing I did cut out acetate to put on top to make it look like a real fish bowl but not sure if you can tell from the picture.

Thank you card

This afternoon my mom asked me to make her a thank you card for her. She is a teacher at a catholic school so she told me what she wanted and this is what I came up with. Tell me your thoughts.




I used Photoshop to create the image then I printed it on card stock I cut the rock image from create a critter it is actually the igloo shadow. Then I used paper studio ribbon. Flower shaped embellishments. Black signo gel pen for stitching. Martha Stewart glitter for around the card. Oh yeah for card base I used lacy labels.
