Happy Birthday!

Hi everyone, Deanna here with another inspirational post for the CardzTV Gallery. I am sure you were expecting another Holiday card but that isn't what you are getting.  A friend of mine recently had a birthday and here is the card I made.

My card base is Kraft card stock cut and folded to make a  4 1/4 X 5 1/2" card.  I added a black mat cut at 4" X 5 1/4" and a piece of patterned paper cut at 3 7/8" X 5 1/8".  My image is a print and cut image from the Silhouette Store.  I cut the image at 3.75".  My sentiment is from the CardzTV Good Times stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by.

You Did It!

There is a new Cricut Cardz Challenge . The challenge is to make a graduation card using any colors and cartridge you want. I chose to use 3 Birds on Parade. My card base is white card stock cut and folded to 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" . I added a black mat cut at 4" X 5 1/4" and then another white mat cut at 3 3/4" X 5". I ran the white mat through my Cuttlebug and embossed it with the Congratulations embossing folder. I then spritzed the mat with some sea glass glimmer mist. The image was cut at 4". I added some black stickles to his hat and used a cold metallic pen to add a little band above and below the know on the tassel. I added some black and white gingham ribbon and my sentiment which says May your dreams take flight.

Thanks for stopping by. I sure hope your will play along with us.

Just me thinking of you card

The Cardz TV Design Team Challenge at Cardz TV is to make a project that uses Ribbons, Rhinestones, and/or Rick Rack. Here is what I came up with.

I started with a white card base cut and folded to 4 1/4" X 5 1/2". I added a dark wine colored mat and then the patterned paper mat both of which are from an older Basic Grey 6" X 6" paper pad. I used the Lacey Labels cricut cartridge and cut the mat for my little bird at 3 1/2". My bird is the first bird in the handbook for the 3 Birds on Parade Cricut cartridge. I cut the little bird and it's layers at 3 1/4" I added some pink cheeks and a few doodle dots to the wings of the bird. I added a dark wine color ribbon and some mosaic tiles to the mat. Thanks for visiting.

Happy New Year!

I sure hope everyone has been having a great holiday season. I had a little time to craft and put together this New Year’s card to send to a friend.

My card is 4 1/4” x 5 1/2” portrait card made from Smooth Bazzill Card stock. The solid colored paper is from my scrap bin. I cut a purple mat at 4” X 5 1/4” and the patterned paper is cut at 3 3/4” X 5” and is from the Echo Park Summer Days paper pad. Finally I cut a pink mat 1 1/2” X 3/3/4” and a purple mat at 1 1/4” X 3 1/2”. I used my ATG Gun to adhere the layers together. I cut the bird at 4” from the 3 Birds on Parade Cricut cartridge and adhered the layers and added some white stitching with my gel pen. This image has a cupcake it cuts out in the birds hand but I didn’t want the cupcake so I cut it off and did not cut the other cupcake layers. To finish off my card, I added some Want2Scrap Rhinestones to the birds eye and the four corners of the sentiment layer. I stamped the sentiment in some Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I added the bird to the front of my card with some foam tape. I hope every had a great and prosperous new year!

Baby It's Cold Outside

The challenge this month over at scrappy frogs is to make a project that uses stitching in it. I decided to make a tall card, this card fits in a standard business envelope.

I started with a piece of Kraft card stock that I cut to 8" X 9" scored and folded it to make a 4" X 9" card base. I added a red card stock mat cut at 3 3/4" X 8 3/4" and some patterned paper cut to 3 1/2" X 8 1/2". I believe the patterned paper is from a DCWV paper stack I picked up last year. I cut the bird at 3" from the 3 Birds on Parade cartridge. I cut the sentiment at 1 1/2" from the same cartridge. I added some metallic blue faux stitching around the edge of the Kraft card base and the snowflake patterned paper. I also added some white faux to the red mat and to my little bird. Finally I had some white snowflake buttons that I sprayed with some glimmer mist and added some glimmer glaze to. I attached my cute little bird with an action wobble so he shivers when he moves. I add my sentiment with some foam tape and the buttons with some glue dots.

 I am a little behind in my posting and have a few more projects completed or almost completed so I hope to get those photographed and posted soon. Happy crafting everyone.
