Some Bunny Special

This time I decided to use the tag feature on the "Wrap It Up" Cricut cartridge to create this cute gift tag.  It would work for a birthday, Mother's Day, or even Easter.  The back is blank to personalize it for whatever event I want to use it for.

I cut the white layer twice and on one of them I cut out just the fence.  I then embossed it with a Cuttlebug embossing folder and inked it a little with some Distress Ink.

The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom.  I added a twine tie at the top and also a twine bow.

The bunny and grass are both metal dies from Jaded Blossom.  I finished it off with some gem flowers.

Sunshine

This is the final card I made to send to my husband while he is deployed.  Well, the last one for today at least.

This is a shaped card that I created using a cloud shape that I got from "Groovy Times."  I embossed with white layer with a Cuttlebug embossing folder.

The sentiment is from My Craft Spot.

The swirly cloud is from "When I Was a Kid."  The sun is from "Sesame Street Seasons."  I used a face stamp from Peachy Keen on the sun.

Space Cadet

Here is another one of the cards I made to send my husband while he is deployed.

The card is 5 1/2"x4 1/4" and made of white card stock.  I used a die from Jaded Blossom to cut a white mat.  I then embossed it with a Cuttlebug embossing folder.

All the images are from Paper Smooches.  I colored them in and adhered them to the card.  The blue/green planet and the top part of the rocket are adhered with foam tape.  The sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Stamps.

Unbelievable Creatures

Jaded Blossom just did its release last week, and it is my favorite, so I wanted to play!  I made six cards using different fantasy creatures.

 The cards are 5 1/2"x4 1/4" and made of white card stock.  I used a die from Jaded Blossom to cut the patterned mats and also the embossed labels.  The labels were then embossed using a Darice Embossing folder.

I used one of the new dies from Jaded Blossom for the labels on which I stamped my sentiments.  The sentiments themselves came from Lawn Fawn.  All the fantasy creatures are from Jaded Blossom, all are from the new release except the unicorn.  I adhered the sentiment labels and images with foam tape.  I also accented the cards with Stickles, glossy accents, white gel pen, and Wink of Stella.

Wedding Card

My cousin is getting married next weekend, so this is the card I made for him and his bride-to-be.

I used their wedding invitation as inspiration for this card.  It is 5 1/2"x4 1/4."  I cut a white mat 1/8" smaller and embossed it with a Cuttlebug folder.  

I used glitter card stock and foiled card stock for my cuts to give it some shimmer and shine.  I also added three gold gems for more added bling.

I used a stamp from My Craft Spot for the sentiment and swirls on the inside.

Bee Thankful

I am six months pregnant now, so we are starting to get gifts from people.  I also have a baby shower coming up.  So, we will be needing thank you cards to send out for the things people get us.  I started by making fourteen of these and can make more later on if necessary.

The card is 5 1/2"x4 1/4."  I cut the black mat 1/8" smaller than the card base.  I then used a die from Jaded Blossom to cut the white mat, which I then embossed with a Tim Holtz embossing folder.  The background shape is from the "Cricut Font and Basic Shapes" cartridge.  I used two different patterned papers on them because I didn't have enough of one to do all fourteen.

The bee is from SVG Cutting Files.  I added a face from Peachy Keen.  I added glossy accents to the eyes and Stickles to the wings.  For some dimension I used foam tape to adhere the bee's head to the body and then to adhere the bee to the card.

The sign is part of a cut file from SVG Cuts.  I added some twine so the bee would be holding it.  I used a stamp from Jaded Blossom for the sentiment.  I used foam tape to adhere the top of the sign for a little added dimension.

Droid Girl

I have a coworker who will be leaving for a new job.  Next week is her last week, so I thought I would make a card for everyone to sign for her last day.  She is a bit of a geek, like me, so I thought this would be a fun card for her.

The card is 5 1/2"x4 1/4" and the mat is 5 1/4"x4."  I used dies from Jaded Blossom for the card mat, planet, and star.  The planet is embossed using a Tim Holtz embossing folder.

The little girl dressed in an R2-D2 dress is from SVG Cutting Files.  I used a face stamp from Peachy Keen.  I then added some white gel pen accents and used some chalk on her cheeks.

I thought she need a little something extra, so I tied some baker's twine into a bow for her hair.

The sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Stamps.
