Family Tree Thanksgiving Card

Hi Paper Lovers...

I have a Thanksgiving card to share today. I got the inspiration for this card from a Recollections 12x12 paper pad I got last year at Michaels called Simply Autumn. I used two different Scrappy Mom's sets. The sentiment on the front is from the set called A Holiday to Remember and the Happy Thanksgiving on the inside is from the new set called Pick of the Patch.

Hi Paper Lovers...

Today I am guest designing for one of my crafty friends TANNER!!! You probably know him as MrCricutCrazy!!! This talented young man has his own line of stamps!!! Amazing, right!!!

Tanner was so sweet and sent me some of his adorable stamps to play with and I just am having so much fun!!!

I came up with a couple of simple cards using two of his sets.
This first card, I used the Dads,Dads set. Let me tell you....these stamps would make an AMAZING mini album for the Dad in your life...I cant wait to start working on one for my husband!!!





The next card is from my favorite set called Christ Is My Life! This set is a must have! There are so many inspirational sentiments on here, I just LOVE it!!!



I am off to my craft room to play some more! I will be featuring Tanner's stamps for the next few days!!!

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!

Hi Paper Lovers,

This is a card I made a while ago and wasnt sure if I was going to share it or not...I dont know if I like it or not =) But I havent made anything lately and wanted to post something! So, here it is!

I designed the top part of the card in my Gypsy that way I knew exactly what size to cut everything. The card is 5x7. The bird is cut from Gypsy Font, the branch is cut from Gypsy Wanderings, the background frame/shape is cut from Sweethearts, and the word thanks is cut from Don Juan. The cardstock is DCWV Green Stack. I used a Martha Stewart border punch. I added some Glossy Accents to the word thanks, some buttons and rafia...and thats it =)

below is a short video...

thanks for watching and have a blessed day!

Thanksgiving/Grateful Card

Hi Paper Lovers,

I made this card for the Cricut Cardz challenge http://cricutcardzchallenge.blogspot.com/

I again used my Gypsy to design it. This card was hard to photograph because of the way the front opens. The shape on the front is from Accent Essentials. I welded two together at the top so they would open. That is the front of the card. The sentiment, tree and leaves are from Gypsy Wanderings. Thanks for looking and have a blessed day!

Gypsy FABULOUS

So, I was inspired to make a Fabulous card when I saw Mary's super cute card over at CardzTV...love her!!! AND the super tallented Jeannie Phillips over at A Place for my Cards has been giving my pointers on my Gypsy...thank you so much!!! So with all this inspration and help...this is what I came up with and it is one of my favorite cards!!! I made this with my Gypsy...I am so proud =) I am starting to get the hang of it and it is sooooo great! I was able to design it on the Gypsy, save it, and then go cut it out after my 2 young boys went to sleep...that is just GREAT for me. And the best part...I have it saved, so when I want to make this card again...all I have to do is cut it out....YAY!!! Thanks so much Jeannie, I really am falling in love with my Gypsy now =)

Okay, so the dress and the word Fabulous are cut from Gypsy Wanderings....LOVE IT!!! It's worth the price for the Gypsy alone...LOL! The paper is from Making Memories that I got on clearance at Target...gotta love clearance stuff!!! Thanks for looking =)
