Hello Card Lovers,
     I am here with a quick post, I will be doing another post in a few hours for a GIVE- AWAY !!!
This card I will be showing you, will be entered into the challenge going on over at Fantabulous Cricut. The Challenge was to use a candle. Here is what I came up with....
Materials Used
Birthday Bash Cricut Cartridge
Hopscotch Cricut Imagine Cartridge
Scrappy Mom's Stamps (Simple Sentiments)
DCWV Solid Cardstock
CuttleBug Embossig Folders
Orange Crush Glitter
Studio G Rhinestones
Button From Stash
Yellow Bakers Twine
White Gel Pen
3D Foam Squares
Zig Glue Pen
 
    My Card base measures 4.25x5.5. My Candles are cut from page 51 in the Birthday Bash handbook, I cut the candles along with all there layers a 2.75". My background paper with the banners on it, is cut from the Cricut imagine Hopscotch cartridge. I decided to use my lose orange crush glitter to get the sparkle on the flames.I went around the yellow portion of the flames with my zig glue pen,this works best for adhering lose glitter because the glue dry clears and it's not chunky.Then to top it all off, I used the super cute stamp from the Scrappy Mom's, I suggest everyone checks out there blog, they have great products for sale.
    I hope you all enjoy this cute little Birthday card!! If you have further questions feel free to ask, make sure to stop my blog later to check out the Give-away. I will be picking a winner at random once I reach 50 Followers.

Enjoy The Ride, End Of Summer

Hello Card Lovers,
     One thing I always Enjoy doing in the summer is going on a bike ride, but not just any bike ride. Recently my husband and I just sold are Yamaha R6  motorcycle. This was are little get away, we would just hop on and without a plan in mind, just go. We were able to enjoy it a couple times this summer before we sold it, it's kinda hard to just get up and go when you have a 15 month old.
     I bought the bike for my Hubby 2 years ago for our anniversary, I know it broke his heart getting rid of it.We decided once Jayden was a little bit older, we are going to get a cruiser, this will make for a much more comfortable ride !!
     Well on with my card, I decided to use this cute little vespa scooter on my card. I thought this fit the bill perfectly, and because I didn't have a Cartridge with a motorcycle on it !!
   Materials Used
Best Friends Cricut Imagine Cartridge
Flower Shoppe Cricut Cartridge
DCWV Cardstock
CTMH Stamp
Ribbon From Stash
Button from Stash
Bakers Twine
Stickles
Clear Rhinestone
3D Foam Squares
  ATG Adhesive
   Fiskars Corner Punch

My Card measures 5x5, I used just white cardstock to make the base of my card and then layered some Yellow DCWV paper on top of it. The blue gingham paper was printed using the same cartridge. I cut the scooter and  4" and I cut it out twice, so I could do all the layering. I hope you can all see by the 2nd photo all the dimension this card has.
 I hope you all enjoyed my card !!!
Thanks for stopping by and Happy Scrapping"

Trick Or Treat

Hello Card Lovers,
     I just got done making, yet another Halloween card, I told you all it was my favorite holiday. I totally planned on making more than one card tonight but my crafting OCD kicked in and I got a little obssed with this one. I definitely think it worked out in my favor though, I just love this card. I will post at the bottom what challenges I will be entering this card into. Well on with the card....

Inside

Materials Used
Happy Haunting's Cricut Cartridge
DCWV Bewitched Paperstack
Studio G Stamps & Rhinestone's
Ribbon From Stash
Buttons From Stash
Bakers Twine
Cuttle bug Embossing Folder
3D Foam Squares
Sewing Machine
ATG Adhesive

     Do you all see what I meant when I said I got a little obsessed. I think it turned out great though, what do you all think ? I did a lot of matting and there's a whole lot of popping going on.
My card is: 5.25"x4.75"
Black mat: 5"x4.5
Purple mat: 4.75"x4.25"
Green mat: 4.5"4"
     I  just winged it on the matting for the sentiment. I only used one cartridge for this entire card and that was Happy Haunting's. listed below are all the dimension's of the cuts.
Skeleton: 4"
Grave: 3.75"
Cat: 2"
Bat: 1.5"
     I did the same measurements for the matting on the inside of the card. I slightly embellish the inside of my cards and then leave enough space for a personalized measure. I like to write long little messages, so I always like to make sure there is plenty of room.
     I will be entering this into the Terrific Tuesday Challenge over at Scrappy Mom's Blog (Halloween) and The Cardz T.V. Challenge Blog (Bling It Up).
     Well I hope you all enjoyed my Halloween card for the night and hope everyone gets a lot of rest and enjoys there Friday !!!

You're Wicked Cool

Hello Card Lovers ,
   I hope everyone's night is going great. I have been in my craft room, for most of the night making this card for the Fun Friday challenge over at Little Scrap Pieces. The challenge was "Action", we had to make a card that had pretty much a moving element to it.
    This is the first time ever that I have made a card like this. I decided to make a Swing Card, these is a pretty ornate card, it's easy to make but of course when it comes to decorating I take forever. My husband said he is pretty sure I have OCD because I have to make sure everything is perfect.
     Well I hope everyone enjoys my card, I just love, love how it turned out. I think this card will be going to my Momma and Poppa for Halloween. Yeah, that's right I am 25 years old and I am a huge Momma and Poppa Girl, it comes with being the baby of the family :) Love you Mom and Dad!!!

Materials Used
Mini Monsters Cricut Cartridge
My Pink Stamper (Spook-alicious) Stamp Set
DCWV Bewitched Paperstack
Prima PaperFlowers
Bakers Twine
Black & Purple Rhinestones
Button From Stash
Googly Eyes
ATG Adhesive
3D Foam Squares
 
     My Card base was cut at 7"x 5". If you want directions on how to make this comment or email me and I can give you all the details. As you can see I did a lot of matting and there are a lot of different measurement's. My Witch was cut at 3" along with all her layers, except her eyes, cause I knew I wanted to use googly eyes.
     I hope you all can tell by the pictures why this is called a swing card. When you pull on he right side of the card the part in the middle that the witch is on swings around to show the other side. Like I said I just love how this card turned out and I hope my parents will like it to.
     Thank you all for stopping by and have a fa-boo-lous night!!!

Spooky!!

Hello Card Lovers,
    I get more and more excited as the days go on for October to come. I just love Halloween so much. I even have been contemplating putting my Halloween decorations up. I know some of you probably just giggled about that thought. I am a person who would rather put decorations up early so that when the holiday is over I can take them down right away.
     I am also excited cause my son will be 16 months this October and I am so super excited to get him dressed up to go trick or treat. I think I finally decided on his Halloween costume, it's a character that my all time favorite actor plays... Edward Scissor Hands . I just love Johnny Depp, its funny cause when you walk into my craft room all you see are owls and Johnny Depp lol. My husband is aware of my obsession, I told him when we met Johnny has been in my life for a long time and that he needs to understand that.
     Well I am really here because I made a project for the Halloween challenge going on over at Little Scrap Pieces. I decided to not make a card this time and I opted for a Treat Box instead. I plan on giving these to my Boss and my Employee for Halloween this Year. Here is what I made...
Materials Used
Close to my Heart (Artiste Cricut Cartridge)
My Pink Stamper Spook-alicious Stamp set
DCWV Bewitched Cardstock
Studio G Bakers Twine
Button From Stash

Hot Glue
Momento Tuxedo Black Ink

Candy
   
  So I was super excited to finally use my Artiste cricut cartridge, I just received this last week and this is the first time I have gotten to play with it. All my cuts are from this Cartridge with list cut sizes below. I just love how this little treat box turn out, I just hope my Boss and Employee like it just as much. Thank you all for stopping by and Happy Scrappin"

Hello Card Lovers,
      Well I am here with yet another Chrsitmas card to show you. I will be entering this card into two different challenges, Cardz TV (Happy Holiday) & Fantabulous Cricut Challenge (On The Job).
    For the Challenge going on over at Fantabolous cricut challenge, I wanted to think out side the box on his theme. This man featured on my card works year round, he doesn't ever get a break. He is to busy making his list an checking it twice, can you guess who I am talking about.... that's right Santa, I know him !!!
     I don't know why I have been hooked on Christmas cards. I actually stress out about Christmas, you could kinda say I am Santa's helper in a way. I manage my local UPS location and let me tell you December is NUTS . I have been at my job for 7 years, I absolutely love it, especially the people, but December is a little crazy at times.
     Well enough about me, on Dasher on Dancer, Oh wait I meant on with the card....

Star Dust Stickles
Snowflake From Stash

     My card base measures at 4.75x4.75. My Santa and background are cut at 4". I cut the strip of red paper at 1.5". All of my papers were also printed using the cartridge listed above. I Cut my Santa out Twice that way I could cut all his layers out separate so I could pop them up.
     I used stickles on all the white on my card, except the two little snowflakes on the wings of the airplane. I knew I wanted to emboss the background to give it a little extra touch, I then just went around the edges with my distress ink to make in stand out better.
     Well I hope you all enjoyed this Christmas card. Feel free to ask any question you may have. Thanks for stopping by and Happy Scrappin"

     Sorry about the bad lighting!!I plan on buying a new camera real soon.My card is a portrait style card and measures at 5.25x4.25. If you would like measurements for all the other layers feel free to ask. I generated my sentiment in Microsoft works and font is at 14pt.
     I kept the colors neutral so this card could be giving to a boy or a girl. I just love how my cute little monster turned out. I Hope you all enjoy it as well :)
Thanks & Happy Scrappin"
