Delicate Dainty Gift Card

Chantilly...dainty

That is what this paper tells me it is dainty and girly and super cute. I needed a girly gift card and so I went with Chantilly.

Here is the front. I tried to tie in some colors from my Copics into the papers.

The inside was super basic.

Then I did a similar envelope as my last gift card.

Super Awesome card share

Today I have another card share for you using Chalk It Up, I really love this paper pack is is super super cute!!! I used a basic pattern from Make it From the Heart Vol. II and this card came together super fast.

Tip: CTMH has a 1/2" strip of paper, I call them zip strips, at the top of each B&T Duos (Background and Texture Paper) sheet these are perfect for adding a little something extra to your card. I used it twice on this card first as a little divider between the B&T and the Sorbet Cardstock. I also used it again as my sentiment.

I also added a pop dot to the black tag and only put adhesive at the top of the Lagoon tags that way I can roll them up a little with my finger giving them a little added dimension.

Birthdays...birthdays...birthdays

That is what August is around here birthday galore! I have been working on actually making and mailing cards this year. I have been doing ok but I want to stay on top of it for the rest of the year and in to next year as well.

Anyway this past week I made a gift card using Artist and this Candlelight set that I have had forever and ever. I have used it here and there but it has never been my focus for the card like this one. I colored the candles using Copics and doodled around the edge.





















Here is the inside of the card. I doodled around the edge here as well.

I made a matching envelope using some very old You Rock paper. I hope you enjoyed this quick little card.

 

For your SuperStar Teacher!

Hello everyone! I hope you are having a great day. Today is a great day for me...it is the day I share my first project for the Craftin' and Stampin' Design Team. Whoo hooo...fun fun fun. 

I have a fun little card that is perfect back to school teacher card.  I made this fun little card using the new Chalk It Up paper. Now this can be a thank you now starting off the year or you can hold it back for Teacher Appreciation week, the end of the year...or use it if you your sweet little child has done something super naughty and you need to butter him/her (the teacher) up. {wink}{wink} Just kidding on that last one.
























Isn't this paper just sooooo cute? I love it and it is super versatile. Wait until you see the rest of my projects I have in store for you later this month.

Here is a close up of the details of the card. I actually cut the square image twice and stamped one in Lagoon and one in Black. Then I cut the black on out and put it on top of the lagoon. I also cut that overlay in the middle down to size.
























Tip: Did you know that you can get 3 cards out of a 12" x 12" sheet of paper if you fold down from the top and make your cards 5 1/2" x 4" and no one ever notices that your card is a 1/4" smaller OR you can do what I did and add a little fun boarder along the side to make it the standard 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" card. This also comes in handy if you want to hang a banner  or another shape over the side of your card and still fit into the envelope.

Sneak Peek and a Party

Hello everyone - guess what today is? It is the first day that you can see the new CTMH Annual Inspirations on line....wow! I just finished looking and am really looking forward to going to Jessica's live U-Stream Open House tonight at 7pm EST. You can go too... right here I am sure it will be a great time. If you ever watch her You Tube channel you know she is just giddy for CTMH and her excitement is contagious.

In a few short days you will see my very first project for the design team but here is a sneak peek for you.

L-O-V-E Camp

Sign says (woo) "Stay away, fools"
'Cause love rules at the Love Shack Camp
Well, it's set way back in the middle of a field...

sing it...you know you want to!

Ok so on my last blog post I mentioned there was a cute little camper card to go along with the anniversary gift. Here it is:

I just love this little camper! It makes me happy. I also used some of the lyrics from the tree and made some clouds.  Just to do something a little different and tie into the gift itself.


















I also used my Copics to color the little camper then I popped it up.

The inside of the card is a pop up card from the Artiste cartridge...I really love that thing. I still cannot believe that once upon a time I had a cricut and it just sat on my shelf and I never ever ever used it.

As you can see I used more lyrics here. I just cut the inside twice and cut out the letters and glued them onto the red cardstock.

Well I hope you enjoy the card share today.

I got some goodies in the mail and will be sharing some super cool stuff for my Design Team soon!!!

L-O-V-E Lyric Tree

I was looking for something that I could make for an anniversary gift and so naturally I went to Pinterest and did some searching. Well boy did I ever hit the jackpot!!

 

 

I found this adorable "Two Little Lovers Sitting in a Tree" project. How perfect is this? I knew right away that I just had to make it. The best part TheDatingDivas also have very detailed instructions so that you can make one of your own if you like.

 

Once I picked out the song I wanted to use I cut out the image on my cricut...after looking up Tree's. There really are so many tree's out the in cricut land!

 

Wait until you see the adorable anniversary card I made to go with it C-U-T-E cute cute!!!

 

I have a long weekend...so hopefully I will finish up a few of the projects that I have in the works and show them to you in a day or two.

Until then...
