More Cards

Here's a couple of cards I made last night. The bear card looks better in person, I had to adjust the lighting levels in order for the bear against the snow to show up. The snowflake paper is actually a dark muted green.

The polar bear is on the Cricut Cartridge Joy of the Season


The second card I made for halloween. Basically because I just received my new cartridge Best Images of 2009. This is the clown from that cartridge. My hubby says that with some Christmas paper, he would look like an elf. Hmmmm.

It's that time of year....

Yep! September! The weather cools down, heats up, rain, mist, sprinkles, cold, hot, just right. You never know what you're going to get around here this time of year. Kind of like my Christmas cards.

This is the time I start trying to come up with an idea for a card that is great looking, but not too time consuming.

These are the first two that I've made an my family is divided.

I used my cricut with my Cri-Kit pens to draw the border and write the "merry christmas' phrase. The ornaments I cut with SCAL and then stamped the swirls with gold ink.

I love the paper on the second card, very shimmery christmas tree. All the cutting with was my cricut.

The pictures aren't that great but you get the general idea!

Card Sketches

I've been stuck in a rut lately.  Not much time to make cards or scrapbook and not feeling very creative when I do.

Today I discovered something that just may help me over the hump!!  I googled "card sketches" and then clicked on images.

Pages and pages of card sketches popped up!  Lot of new and fun things to try!  I'm going to work on it this weekend and maybe by Monday I'll have some fun new items to post!

Birthday Card

Here is the card I made for my dad. The card is actually white even though it shows up as a bluish grey.

The embossing is done with my Cuttlebug. The stamp, ribbon, and paper all came from Stampin Up!.

I love how it was so easy, just cut, stamp, emboss, and glue but the longer I look at it the more I think I might watercolor the image. We'll have to see.
