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.

On Fire!

Here is a fun birthday card for someone who loves dragons!

It is a z-fold card made from white card stock.  I then layered the card with black and flame card stock.

The dragon is from SVG Cutting Files, but it was from a past blog hop and is no longer available.  I covered his eyes, claws, and tail spikes with glossy accents.  His wings are covered in crackle accents and his orange horns on his head are covered in Stickles.  I also used some Distress Ink around the edges of the grey for added depth.  His head is adhered with foam tape for dimension.

The sentiments are stamped.  The one in the bottom corner is from My Favorite Things and the one in the mat is from Jaded Blossom.  I also used a metal die from Jaded Blossom for the white mat.  I finished off the card with some sequins.

Spidey Senses

Here is a card that I managed to make just the other day.

The card is 5 1/2"x4 1/4" and made of white card stock.  The spiderweb mat is cut with a Jaded Blossom die and I cut the blue mat to be 1/8" larger.

Spiderman is an svg that I found on the internet somewhere.  I used foam tape to adhere him to the card for some dimension.  His eyes are covered in glossy accents.

The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom and is cut into the speech bubble with a Lawn Fawn die.  I finished the card off with some sequins.

Worm Birthday Wishes

I used the card feature from the "Wrap It Up" cartridge today to make this fun apple shaped card.

I made my card and cut the green portion twice.  I then trimmed off just the leaf to give me a second one.  I glued the center down and used a double layer of foam tape at both edges to pop it up.  The apple and the leaf are both inked with Distress Inks.

I decided to have a cute little worm coming out of the bite in the apple.  He is an svg from Lettering Delights.  I inked his lightest layer up with a light layer of Distress Ink.

The tag is a metal die from Jaded Blossom.  I stamped on a sentiment from Paper Smooches.  I wrapped the stem with some twine and used the same twine to tie a bow to put on my tag.  The bottom of the tag is adhered with foam tape for a little dimension.

Shaped Birthday Card

I made this birthday card to send to my husband while he is deployed.

I used the Cricut to create my shaped card.

The word "happy" was cut six times and adhered together.  This gives is the same dimension you would see if I had used foam tape, but since the letters were too narrow I couldn't actually use foam tape.

I added glossy accents, glitter, and some gems to liven it up a bit.

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.

Birthday Duck

Today I had a little time to do some crafting, so I made this cute little duck birthday card.

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 plaid mat, which is 5 1/4"x4."

The scallop oval and plain oval are also both cut using dies from Jaded Blossom.  It is adhered to the card with foam tape.

The adorable little duck, the balloon, and the sentiment are all stamps from Peachy Keen.  I paper pieced the duck.  The balloon is covered in glossy accents to make it look nice and shiny.
