Little Yeti

How about a cute card for a winter birthday?

The card is 5 1/2"x4 1/4" and made of white card stock.  I used a metal die from Jaded Blossom for the snowflake mat and the blue patterned mat.

The little Yeti is a cut file from Lettering Delights.  I used a stamp from Peachy Keen for the face.  I added glossy accents to the eyes of the kid and also on the teeth of the monster costume.

The icicle border and the sentiment are also from Jaded Blossom.  The icicles are a metal die.  I covered them with glossy accents and also sprinkled a little glitter on them so they would sparkle.  I finished off the card with some purple gems.

Narly

I just had to craft the other day and made this fun birthday card!

The card is 5 1/2"x4 1/4" and made of white card stock.  The plaid mat is cut with a metal die from Jaded Blossom and I matted it with a dark blue card stock that is 1/8" larger.

The wave pieces were also cut with a metal die from Jaded Blossom.  I adhered one of the sets of waves with foam tape.  I also used Stickles on the wave crests for some shimmer.

The narwhal is from Lettering Delights.  I used a stamp from Peachy Keen for the face, then covered the eyes with glossy accents.

The sentiment is also from Jaded Blossom.  I finished off the card with a bunch of sequins.

Miscellaneous Cards

While I have managed to eke out some time to craft since my son's birth, I have't had much time to blog those crafts.  It seems to be one or the other these days!  So, here are a couple of cards I have made in the past couple of months.

This little cowgirl card is 5 1/2"x4 1/4" and made of ivory card stock.  The striped mat was cut with a metal die from Jaded Blossom and the label shape was from an SVG Cuts cutting file.

The cowgirl is from Lettering Delights and her face is stamped from a Peachy Keen stamp.  I added some Stickles to her bows and the horse's reins and glossy accents to her eyes.

The sentiment is stamped and is from Jaded Blossom.

The gnome card is also 5 1/2"x4 1/4" but is made from white card stock.  Both the striped mat and the mushroom mat were cut with a Jaded Blossom die.  I then trimmed the mushroom piece and added a small red strip of card stock.

The gnome was stamped, using a Paper Smooches stamp, on white card stock and cut out with the Brother Scan 'n' Cut.  I then colored him in with colored pencils.  He is mounted in a frame that was cut with dies from Jaded Blossom.

The sentiment and mushroom are also both from Paper Smooches.  The mushroom was cut with the Brother Scan 'n' Cut as well, and also colored with colored pencils.  The card was finished with some blue and white sequins.

Baby Thank You

Last week I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy.  He is now 6 days old and I managed to get some time in the craft room to make a quick card to send to the amazing hospital staff.

The card is 5 1/2"x4 1/4" and made of white card stock.  I cut mats from different patterned card stock.

The stork and baby image is from the "9 Months" Cricut cartridge.  I used Peachy Keen face stamps for the eyes of both the baby and the stork.

The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom.

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.

Music to My Ears

I decided to use "Wrap It Up" again on today's project.  This time I made a gift card holder.

The gift card holder and its mats were made with Jaded Blossom dies.  I also used stamps from them for the gift card grid and all the sentiments.

The headphones are the cut I used from "Wrap It Up" and the music notes are from "Groovy Times."  I used twine to create a cord for the headphones.  I also added some glossy accents to the red parts of the headphones.

Spooky Treats

I ordered a bunch of stamps from Jaded Blossom and they arrived the other day.  I decided to use one of the stamp sets to make a project, so I made this Halloween treat bag. 

I thought this spider web patterned card stock was perfect for the bag.

The treat bag and the jack-o-lantern are both from the "Wrap It Up" Cricut cartridge.  I used foam tape to adhere the jack-o-lantern.  I also added crackle accents to the stem and glossy accents to the face.

The banner and tag are both cut with Jaded Blossom dies and stamped with Jaded Blossom stamps.  I added a twine bow and some sequins to finish it all off.  I used a double layer of foam tape in the middle of the banner for some dimension.

Happy...

So, my husband deploys soon and that means he misses all our big days: Anniversary, his birthday, Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving, my birthday, and the birth of our son.  This has happened before, minus the birth of our son part, and I just give him one big gift before he goes.  So, I made this card to cover all the bases.

The card is 5 1/2"x4 1/4" and made of white card stock.  I used a die from Jaded Blossom to cut the white mat.  I then used stamps from Jaded Blossom to cover the mat with the days he will be missing.  I used another stamp from them for the word "happy" and fussy cut it out.  The banner and sentiment on it are from the Cricut.  I used the write function to write the word on the banner before it was cut out.

Both the sentiment and the banner were adhered with foam tape for dimension.

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.

Can't Bear It

My husband will be deploying soon and will be gone for six months.  I thought I would start making some cards to send to him while he is gone.  This is one of them.

The card is 5 1/2"x4 1/4" and made of white card stock.  I used some dies from Jaded Blossom for the the yellow mat and teal circle.

The bear is a stamp from My Favorite Things and I paper pieced it.

The sentiment is also from My Favorite Things and is stamped on a banner that was cut with a die from My Craft Spot.

I used the color combo from Just Us Girls to inspire this card.

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.
