Sweet Easter Wishes! Easter Basket card

HI Paper Lovers...

Here is another card I made using the brand new Scrappy Mom's set Fun Celebrations! I LOVE this sentiment and it made me think of all the candy I used to get in my Easter basket as a kid! I loved getting chocolate bunnies!!! But I do think this little chocolate bunny is too cute to eat =)

 

I used the Create a Critter 2 cartridge for the basket and chocolate bunny. Click HERE to head on over to the Scrappy Mom's blog to get your stamps. Below is my YouTube tutorial....thanks so much for stopping by!!!

Hi Paper Lovers....

Have another super QUICK card today to show you the new Scrappy Mom's set, Freshly Brewed! I used my Imagine again on this card. I needed to make some thank you cards for my friend Julie and needed to make as many as possible. The Imagine is PERFECT for mass-producing cards....its so easy!!! I used the Better Together Imagine cartridge for the cute little cup, patterned paper and the pink color. I embossed the background shape with the Argyle Cuttlebug embossing folder. I added some pink bakers twine and Diamond Stickles to the steam and thats IT...super simple!!!

Have Your Cake and Eat it Too...

Hi Paper Lovers...

Its time again for the Terrific Tuesday Challenge over on the Scrappy Mom's blog. This time the challenge is to use the Once Upon a Princess cartridge in honor of the release of their new set Happily Ever After! If you havent had a chance to see the full set click HERE.
Like me....If you do not have the Once Upon a Princess cartridge, just pick something similar from a cartridge you have. I was looking at this cartridge on my Gypsy and noticed it had some cupcakes on it....so I decided to make a cupcake card...I know, BIG shocker LOL!!!
Here is the card I came up with.....a REALLY simple one =)




The cupcake is from Straight From the Nest...It is cut at 1.5 I cut off the cherry and hid the sprinkle holes with my Gypsy.
The flowers are from Sweet Treats cut at .60
I used the Devine Swirls Cuttlebug Embossing folder for the icing.

Hope you can play along in the challenge....click HERE to head on over to the Scrappy Moms blog and while you are there...be sure and check out what the other Design Team members came up with for inspiration.....arent they AMAZING!!!

Creative Scraps Challenge

Hi Paper Lovers....


The super sweet and talented ladies who have started Creative Scraps Challenge asked ME to be a guest designer.....ME!!! How exciting....oh, and they asked Julie and Momo too =) Be sure to check out their blogs to see what amazing cards they made!!!


The challenge this week is to make a birthday card, with BLING and use only ONE cartridge! Sounds easy, right??? I can not even tell you how many times I went to grab a SECOND cartridge LOL!!! I had such a hard time just using one =)


and....I have a confession....whenever I have to make a specific card for someone or for a challenge, I just go BLANK!!! I have such a hard time coming up with something....that being said....I gave it my all and this is what I came up with.......

The ONE cartridge I used was Create a Critter.

The KOALA is on pg. 49 and was cut at 2 1/2" I also cut her ACCESSORY feature which is her SKIRT and FLOWER at 2 1/2" I really do like her blingy earings =)

The PURSE is on pg. 47 and was cut at 1"

The BALLOONS are on pg. 30...one was cut at 2" and two were cut at 1 1/2"

The top cardstock is embossed with the Happy Birthday folder from Cuttlebug.

Okay....so now head over to Cristi's AWESOME blog and see what she and the other crafty girls have come up with all week long....it really is a fun challenge to play along with!!!
Thanks so much for stopping by and have a Blessed day!

Butterfly Kisses

Hi Paper lovers...

While MOMO and I were having our Sunday Skype night, this is the card I made. The very first time I looked at the handbook from Straight From the Nest...I wanted to cut out the phrase Butterfly Kisses...and I just never did, until now!!!

I wasnt too sure what I thought about the butterfly though...guess it turned out okay...not my favorite butterfly I must admit!

The shape behind the butterfly is from Gypsy Wanderings....there are some really neat tag shadows on there that I like to use! I embossed it with the Victorian Cuttlebug folder!

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!!!
