Warm Winter Wishes Card Using The Cutting Cafe' Stamps

Here's another little Christmas card using the brand new The Cutting Cafe Stamps.  I've made so many cards with these three new sets and to tell you the truth, I cant stop! LOL!

This one is so simple really.  I used some Kraft card stock as my base and then added some old My Mind's Eye reindeer paper that I used an edge stamp for the scalloped trim.  The scalloped circle accent is made using my Nesties.  One scalloped circle and one solid circle, separated by some foam tape.  I added some Martha Stewart punches and some twine and finished it all off with a big red rhinestone.

I used three different stamps, the Warm Winter Wishes is from the set called Fancy Holidays and the two circle stamps are from the set called Christmas All Around.  If you haven't checked out these new stamps, hurry on over and take a peek!

Thanks for looking!  Please come again really soon, but until then...have a lovely day!  HUGS! :)

Birds in Disguise!

Happy Wednesday!

Does anyone else love mustache humor as much as I do?  It seems to be everywhere right now too!

I don't know about you, but I've never seen a bird in disguise, but I guess it could happen! LOL!  I used another one of the birds from my new Cricut cartridge, 3 Birds on Parade that I got at Hallmark Scrapbook a while ago.  I was loving this guy when I spotted him. Funny!

And the perfect sentiment I used is from The Cutting Cafe'.  The set is called Mustache Shaped Card Set.  Awesome pairing! I love when that happens!

I just printed the sentiment on some of the green paper I used and trimmed it into a banner.

Its fun to use printed papers where you would normally choose solids just for a fun change of pace and creativity!

If you enjoy mustache humor or have a friend who does, this cooky card is for sale in my Etsy shop.

Have You Got Your Green On?

Happy Friday!

Yay, we made it to yet another weekend. I love my weekends and always look forward to reaching them.

So tomorrow you have to make sure you're wearing some green so you won't get pinched! Heehee!  Do you celebrate St. Patrick's Day?  I decided not to decorate for St. Pat's Day this year and just moved right on to Easter.

I did however decide to create a pretty little shamrock card to send to the kiddos so they know we are thinking of them.

This awesome St. Pat's Day back ground is from The Cutting Cafe'.  I used some Kraft card stock to print it on.  I just love how it turned out.

The shamrock was cut out using my Cricut Expressions and the Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge.  I tied a bit of green wrinkle ribbon on the stem to add a bit more dimension.  I love wrinkle ribbon!

The kiddos should have their card by now and hopefully enjoying it.  I bet they may have learned a little something in school about St. Patrick's Day.  I can remember we did and I also remember if you didn't wear green...the boys would pinch you for sure! :)

4 You With Love

I Mustache You A Question

Happy Wednesday!

Wow! Can you believe we already have one month of this new year behind us? This year is already moving very fast.

Today's card is really fun with some mustache humor.  My sweet friend Regina over at The Cutting Cafe' made up the set I used after I asked her if she'd ever thought about making a mustache set.

I used my Printmaster program to combine Regina's stamp (the mustache) and another digi image (the hearts) I had and then this card was created!

I printed my little design on some Kraft card stock.  The whole card reminds me of a chocolate covered cherry! Yum!

I had this ribbon in my stash that I thought matched perfectly so I added it as my final touch.

Very simple card and very fun to make too.  THANK YOU Regina for making this set.  YOU mean so much to me!

Thanks for stopping by today. Please come again really soon, but until then...have a lovely day!  HUGS! :)

Recycled Heart Flower

Happy Monday! 

How was your weekend? Lovely I hope! Mine was wonderful, it just didn't last long enough..but they never do now do they? LOL!

Today's card was created using some of my bill envelopes I've collected.  I have oodles and gobs of them so I decided to put a few of them to use!

I used a Kim Hughes stamp (the heart shape) and stamped four of them onto one of my envelope designer papers, cut them out and then free handed the stem and leaves and traced around them with a black Zig pen.  Then I mounted them onto another designer paper.

I even used a sweet set from The Cutting Cafe' called Hershey Kiss Valentine Bottoms.  I just decided to use them as my sentiment instead of on the bottom of kisses.

Have you ever stopped to notice the different designs inside your bill envelopes? Well, then you have lots of designer papers being delivered to your mailbox every day, go find you some!

This little red, black and white number is for sale in my Etsy shop, but hurry, Love Day is drawing near and there isn't much time left for shipping!

Thanks for stopping by today. Please come again really soon, but until then...have a lovely day!  HUGS! :)

Pink Love

Happy Friday!

We've made it to another weekend and boy am I ready! I've got some relaxing to do for sure!

As I said before HERE, this is the pink version of the first loopy felt flower tag I showed you.  It's so soft and sweet and could even be used for other occasions besdies Valentine's Day.

I even hand stitched around the edges with embroidery thread to add that extra wow power too!  I just love that look!

My love tag sentiment is made using my Nesties and a digi stamp from The Cutting Cafe'.  I love that font, don't you!  Its from the set called Valentine Big Stuff.  Its an oldie, but a goodie!

Here's a view of the pink felt loopy flower.  I again cut the sections really small for a more full look.  The idea is to use really soft felt so you get all the movement you can when assembling it.

This little pink lovely is for sale in my Etsy shop along with several other fun Valentine Day goodies.  I will be working on special orders this weekend for some of my Etsy customers.  Etsy people are the best!

Thanks for stopping by today. Please come again really soon, but until then...have a lovely day!  HUGS! :)

More Mustache Humor

Happy Monday!

I hope your weekend was an awesome one!  Mine was, I got lots of crafty stuff done and I even tried a new recipe I found on Pinterest and it was so delicious, you should try it too!

Today's card is more of my mustache humor.  I am hooked on mustaches right now.  They are every where too!  This one is a Valentine and its available in my Etsy shop if you're interested!

I used some K and Co glitter paper for my heart. I cut it out using my heart shaped Nesties then added the 'stache!

My sentiment is from The Cutting Cafe'.  The set is called All About Valentine's Day.  I just printed it out and then cut it out with my Nesties and then traced around the heart with red marker.

I added a bit of dainty lace trim for a little girly factor, then topped it off with pearl dew drops.

Keep watching, I have one more mustache card coming to show you, but if you can't wait to see it...go take a peek into my Etsy shop.

Thanks for stopping by today. Please come again really soon, but until then...have a lovely day!  HUGS! :)

I Love Snow People!

Happy Friday!

I know its way past Christmas now, but I couldn't resist showing you one of the cutest little sets over at The Cutting Cafe'!  The set is called Frosty and Penguin in Snow Globes. It comes in black and white so you can color the image or in full color like the one I used here. If you haven't visited Regina over at The Cutting Cafe', please do, she always has such FUN sets and for reasonable prices!

Isn't the image just so sweet?  All I did was print it out on white card stock and then cut it out with my circle Nesties and of course I free handed the bottom base part. Easy peasy!

Since I had the pink girly theme going on, I decided to add tiny pink crystals to the snowflakes. FUN!

I also made a little pink bow using some of my pink variegated wrinkle ribbon and a vintage button all tied up with baker's twine. I love wrinkle ribbon!

I sent this card to my very special friend who is my biggest fan and cheerleader, Sherri.  You should stop by her blog and check out her awesome work, in my opinion, she's the best when it comes to Copic coloring, but I'm not biased or anything! Heehee!

Thanks for stopping by today. Please come again really soon, but until then...have a lovely day!  HUGS! :)

A Freebie from The Cutting Cafe'

Happy Monday! 

Did you have a wonderful Christmas? We sure did!  We spent Christmas Eve with my sweet Mama and then Christmas Day was spent at home just relaxing and enjoying each other.

Today I'm working with The Cutting Cafe' goodies! Also, you can sign up for a chance to win a free set from The Cutting Cafe'.  I'll be giving away an oldie but a goodie, the Gift Card and Money Holder Set.

I recycled on this card.  The black and white background paper is the inside of a bill envelope.  Isn't it a lovely designer paper? Best of all...it was FREE!

The mustache cut out, I got HERE.  It was free too! YAY for free when you are creating! Pinterest is my friend!

I got the saying idea from Pinterest too.  THIS little project got my juices flowing! So adorable I must say!

I stamped Merry Christmas on the back flap for a little sweet message before they open the flap and find the good stuff inside!  Oh and the little green sprigs of fern are made by using my Martha Stewart punch and then adding some tiny glass beads for berries. Close up in the next picture.

This is another free patterned paper.  It's the most popular of my giant collection of bill envelopes.  Also, see the ric-rac trim.  I made that using a strip of red and a strip of white polka dotted ric-rac and wrapping them together.  Uuumm, yeah, Pinterest idea again! Look HERE for my inspiration!

Lastly, just tuck in a few bills and you have an adorable gift that everyone will love!  I suppose I should have decorated the back too, but I was in a bit of a last minute time crunch and I did not this time.

Please be sure to leave a comment so you will have a chance to win on Saturday, New Year's Eve when I draw a lucky winner! Good Luck!

Thanks for stopping by today. Please come again really soon, but until then...have a lovely day!  HUGS! :)

Rain Rain Go Away

Happy Monday!

We had the most awesome weekend, my youngest son and I went shopping on Friday and then we had Christmas at my Daddy's and Step Mom's house with all the family on Saturday!  So FUN!

Today's card is done using a really fun set from The Cutting Cafe'.  The set is called Rain Rain Go Away.  It's very fitting with all the rain we've been getting here in Texas lately!  Boy did we need it though!

Pin It I printed out the rubber boots onto yellow card stock as well as the sentiment.  I fussy cut the boots out and then used my heart shaped Nesties for the sentiment.  I used some clear rhinestones as rain drops. I love lots of bling!

I really like that font Regina used for the sentiment.  It seems to go so well with my card today!  I used my Copic markers to color in the flowers and then added more rhinestones to finish them off.  Lots of sparkle on this card!

This set comes with lots of different  images and sentiments.  You could make all kinds of cards with this set!

I think I will add this card to my Etsy shop because Valentine's is right around the corner and this would make a perfect Valentine Day card for sure!

Pin It Before I go, I wanted to show you my Grinch nails that I did on Friday night! Aren't they fun?  They are basically like my Santa nails, just different colors and no Grinch face.  I wasn't even going to attempt that one! LOL!

Thanks for stopping by today. Please come again really soon, but until then...have a lovely day!  HUGS! :)

2012 Is Just Around The Corner Now!

Happy Monday! 

I hope your weekend was wonderful for you. I got some shopping done, cleaned and did laundry, baked a little and got some cards made! YAY Me! lol!

Today's card is a fun one to say the least.  I even busted out the ole doodling technique on this one!  This New Years card was made completely of scraps from my scrap bin!

Pin It The 2012 background and the circle sentiment are from The Cutting Cafe'.  The sets are called 2012 Background set and It's New Year Time.

All the words of a New Year celebration right here on a circle.  After I printed the sentiment on Kraft card stock, I cut it out with my circle Nesties, then backed it up with a black scalloped circle.

I love when Regina makes the number or word backgrounds and incorporates them into her sets.  Its so much like subway art and I luvs me some subway art!

This card is for sale in my Etsy shop if you wanna send someone a fun card for the New Year!  Keep watching, I'm still making more New Years cards!

Thanks for stopping by today. Please come again really soon, but until then...have a lovely day!  HUGS! :)

Pretty Poinsettia Tag

Happy Wednesday!

Baby it's COLD outside! Brrrr! We've had snow already this week and some very cold temps to go with it! It's definitely winter here in Texas!
Today I have another fun little Christmas tag for you.  I used a sentiment from The Cutting Cafe' set called December Daily 2.  It's loaded with FUN! Please do go check it out!

I printed it out on Kraft card stock then cut it out with my Nesties, added a few red rhinestones and then topped off my tag with it.

I made the ruffled center piece by cutting a strip of the poinsettia paper.  Then using one of my Martha Stewart punches, I punched along one edge.  Then I carefully scored in between each scallop, folded back and forth and then glued it to the scalloped piece of card stock you see behind it.  Lastly I centered it with a vintage button.

You can make these without using the punch along one edge, but I think they are really pretty with it and it also gives you an easier guide for your scoring and folding.

These are simple to make, but look a bit elegant when you are finished in the end.  I made two different sizes and both are for sale in my Etsy shop right now!

A beautiful tag can dress up a plain bag or wrapped gift and make it so much more special to the receiver.  I can imagine using this tag on a plain Kraft paper bag or maybe even a gift wrapped in the brown shipping paper. That would be GORGEOUS under the tree!
