50 Followers!

Happy that I have 50 followers - never thought 50 people would even visit here, much less follow me : )

I'll be thinking of a 50 follower give away that I can do!

In the meantime, here is a new card.

Happy 5th Birthday

My niece's 5th birthday is coming up soon, so I made her a birthday card with one of her favorite things - an octopus! Someone gave her a pink stuffed octopus when she was young, so this was a great cricut image to use from Birthday Bash. I didn't especially like the critter that had the 5 with it - I think it was a fish - a little weird if you ask me. Anyway, I combined the octopus with a party hat with the 5 from the font on that cartridge.

The background stamp is from Lawn Fawn.

Copic Coloring

Here is an attempt at copic coloring on a card. I love the look you can get with copics, but I need lots of practice. This was one of my first attempts. I love the card, but learned some things about coloring as I attempted this card. Looking forward to trying more!

New Cards

Here are a couple of new cards I have made...

Thanks for looking!

Valentine for Someone Special :)

Here is a new card I made today during my daughter's nap. It seems like that is the only time I have available to make something!

This card was made using the Imagine.

I used the Imagine More cartridge. The background paper was cut at 5 inches - I flood filled the rounded rectangle. Then I took apart one of the images and just used one layer of it for the tag on the card. This was cut at 3 inches. The owl was cut at 2.5 inches. The stamp of the branch is from American Crafts. The letters are thickers.

Also, I'd like to say thank you to all my new followers. Twenty followers may not be a lot to you, but to me - it's fabulous : )

Thanks for stopping by!

New Card Today

Hi, I have a new card for you today. I just won the cartridge Simply Charmed on ebay, so I thought I would make a couple of cards with it. I love this cartridge for fun, happy cards or images for scrapbook pages.

I made this card by cutting the birthday cake at 5 inches. I used the gypsy to weld two birthday cakes together so I could make this a shaped card. I love using the gypsy in order to make shaped cards. Also, I recently learned how to hide contours on images when cutting and I find that to be very helpful : )

Don't forget that if you are making a shaped card, you have to flip one of the images. I forgot that when I was making this card...

Since I forgot to flip one of the presents, the two halves to the card don't fold exactly on top of each other. Oh well, live and learn!

Have a great day : )
