Police Car

This was a cute card that Sue made I just had to give it a try too. You can find the pattern here. I really enjoyed making this one. It also came with the SVG cut file but I can’t get it to work with sure cuts a lot 2,  so I just cut it by hand. When I do it again I will use white paper for the car, our police cars are white and sheriff cars are black.

Mother's Day Craft Show

I found these at Target yesterday for a dollar, and knew I needed to make something for our May craft show with them. Here is the 1st try (as Gina would say "my prototype") lol I learned what not to do so hope the next one will come out a little better. I am also going to make a SVG file for it soon.

Blues Clues Chair

A friend sent me this picture and asked if I could make a cut file out of it. She wanted to make birthday invites with the Blues Clues Chair and this is what I came up with. It isn’t perfect but I think it will work nicely. As always if you would like the file I can e-mail it to you. I just don’t want to mess with setting up an account to post them to. Hope everyone has a wonderful week. It is in SCAL2.

More birds of a feather

Got to say I am loving these cards. This one was made with my new Stampin Up punch (thanks Gina). Got to say I love that little thing too. There are still a few more birds for me to make and then they will be a gift for my mother-in-law. Hope everyone has a wonderful week end and maybe I will have the rest of the bird cards done by Monday.

Birds

What a great little project, I just loved making these little bird cards. You can find the pattern here. I have ordered the bird punch but found this svg file worked well too. I will have to work a bit on the painting.

Another Christmas Card

Another Christmas card I will be sending out this year. I love this type of card, it is so fun. Hope everyone has a great weekend. 

Ok so like many of you I have told myself “I am going to use each one of my craft items, stamps/punches/programs… etc… at least once before I buy anything else”.  I have been telling myself this for a few YEARS now. Well this is it! I will make an item as soon as I can after I get my new item. This is the embossing folder (Stampin up Northern Flurry) and die (Stampin up Northern Frost) I ordered at Gina’s the other day and got today. I love this folder! I think I will be using this one a lot. The die is beautiful (a little time consuming picking out all the little pieces) I made a bunch of the snow flakes to use as I need them. I used pink because that was what was on the desk but I like it.

Stampin Up Stamp a Stack

I had to get this embossing folder.

We couldn't decide if I already had this dear so I didn't get it, I should have because if I have it I can't find it.lol

Gift card holder.... Now that is easy gift giving.

Had a great time with Gina and friends. Gina always has such great ideas and I so enjoy spending time doing something I love. We played from 1pm to 5pm and left with 16 cards, 2 gift card holders, and 2 money holders.
Thanks again Gina.

One for my Son

Can you believe I have 2 posts’ in a row for you.lol I have been looking around at all yawls’ work and this is another one I have CASEd. I am so enjoying my time in my craft room and the weather is working out great. It is raining here now so there is nothing else to do but hang out up in my craft room.   I made this one for my son who loves to golf.

Fall is in the air

I saw this card and knew I had to make one. The leaves are changing here and our weather is now cooling off and looking more and more like fall.

Mother's Day Gift Box

I am feeling very good that I am ahead of the game. I have Easter and Mother’s day done. This is for my mother-in-law, I will put candy and ear rings in the little drawers.

Punch Hippo

While cleaning out my stamp room I came across my punch book. It is a book I put all my punch ideas in and I decided to make this little guy. He is soooooooooo cute. I just love to make things out of punches so whenever I find one on the web I print it and put it in my little book.

Not back but a little better

I still can’t really think of things I really want to make so I cased this bird house and I think it is cute. The original was made with the mini stampin up sizzix die. This one is not that small and was cut with an SVG cut. I will fill the birdhouses with candy and give as a gift. 

The card was fun; the shoe is from the cridut wedding cartridge. I like the easel cards so thought the shoe was perfect.

Not back yet...

Well the mojo isn’t back but thought I would try the new stamp sets I bought at the stamp show last month. These stamps come with the nestability dies to cut them out. I still like to hand cut them so with I hadn’t bought the nestabilities.

Need my mojo back.....

Ok well I had the time to stamp BUT…. I can’t think of anything new that I want to make. I guess the mojo is gone, I hope it comes back soon. I finely come up with this and really felt like my mojo is gone. Oh well guess it happens to all of us at some point. Hope you all have a great week.

Butterflies for a friend.

A friend of mine asked me to keep my eyes open for open butterflies. I found these and a few others that can be cut with the SCAL and Cricut. These are just proto types and won’t be used. I just wanted to see how they looked cut out. The flower on the blue card is from the Stampin Up design studio. I used it in the SCAL program and had the Cricut cut it out. This is my first try at converting a design studio image to SCAL and it worked great. I love it when things work the first time round.

Organic Grace by Stampin Up

A little color today, I like the easel cards they look so nice sitting on the table.

Water Garden

In need of a little color today. I am also ready for my pond to look like this. I always pick this stamp about this time of the year. Hopeful thinking I think. Hope your week is going well.
