Dearest Dad

My Pink Stamper has a super giveaway for father's day. She is giving away a Cricut Expression Machine. How great is that. Here is the card I am putting into the challenge. My husband loved to cook but her still loved me to get his morning coffee for him. This card is made for my son because he also loves to get his morning coffee. I guess he picked it up from Dad. This is a very easy card made with From the Kitchen Cricut cartridge. Enjoy!

Cupcake Birthday

I cut the card at 5 1/2 " so I thought I needed to cut the cupcake at 5 1/2" but I was wrong. It was larger than the card. I then cut it at 3 3/4" and it fit the card muchbetter. I am not sure if all the cuts will be the same on this cartridge so I will have to test some of the cards out and find out myself.
Stamp Set: Crazy for Cupcakes
Paper: chocolate chip, unknown DSP that was given to me.
Ink: chocolate chip
Accessories: cricut,  a child's year cartridge

3x3 Tag

I wanted to share with you the gift tag I made. It turned out really cute. I used the cricut cartridge Create a Critter. I cut this critter and all the layers at 2.5. and the tag is 3x3. I am going to put a hole at the top and add some ribbon to tie onto the package. It is very simple and quick to put together.

Enjoy your weekend and Happy Mother's Day to all mother's everywhere.

Stamp Set: All Holidays
Paper: whisper white, night of navy, regal rose, jellybean soup DSP
Ink: black
Accessories: cricut, create a critter cartridge, white gel pen, flower embelishments from a friend.

Just for you Elephant

I added hemp and the face is using the Peachy Keen animal faces. The sentiment is from SU  teeny tiny wishes. This critter is so cute! I am going to send it with a letter to my DGS in Calgary. I sure miss him. I made this critter for the NSD at My Pink Stamper for challenge # 12 Critter-licious. Isn't that a cute name. The challege is to make a scrapbook page or a card using any critter.

Happy Birthday Fish

This is the techniuue of using the negitive of a sticker pack and colored it in for a stained glass look. I used some sparkle but it doesn't show as much as I would like it to. It must be the angle of the photo. I think this would be great for a masculine card. It is so super cute!

Paper: dusty durango, summer sun, DSP, very vanilla
Ink, orange summer sun chalk, black
Accessories: trim border punch, stickers, blender pen, ticket corner punch, dusty durango polka dot ribbon.

Craft Show Goodies

We had a large craft show here in Abbotsford this past weekend. I have been to the show each year now for the past 3 years. I love everything about it, especially all the make and takes. The problem is then I want to buy all the products I have used. I usually go with the ones I loved the most. I have taken pictures of the projects I did this year to show you. They are just awesome.

I love the layout and wish I had marked down who the papers were from so I could buy them. The DSP is georgous. 

This little card used the spellbinders scallops, putting 2 of them together. The stamp was from Hero Arts. So cute!

This stamp is all in one and then just colored the butterfly and added some sparkle,

This card is a gift card holder, so easy and so cute to make.T he leaf is using the negitive of a stickers pack and watercolored to make the stained glass look.

A layered shoe card but the Just for you was using the foil technique using a heat pen. It took a bit of practice to get the pressure proper to make the foil adhere to the card stalk. A cute technique but I think I like the stamp sentiments or the computer sentiments better.

Here is another gift card stained glass look same as the leaf card above using the negitive of stickers. I really like this technique. It is so quick, easy and the effect is georgous.

This is my last project making this little bag. We had so many laughs and of course mistakes but it was sure fun to make. We did the free hand stippling, my first time at trying it and It was so much easier than I thought it would be. We were also showed a tip on how to use glue to put the zipper on. It will be great to show my DGD how to put a zupper on  with ease. I hope you will be inspired to try some of these techniques your self.

  I will now make some of them on my own and hopefully my mind retains all the info. to make them.  LOL
