Owl Cards using more Scraps

Used scraps from my scrap bin to make the owl and frame. Used the cricut cartridge Storybook for all the pieces. The Owl was cut a 2 and 1/2 inches and the frame was cur at 2 and 3/4 inches. Used dark brown chalk ink on the owl and put brown ribbon under his feet.

The owl is the same on this card. The only difference is I used the fiskars Threading Water border punch on yellow scrap paper and layered them together and then tied brown ribbon around it. Gives it a different look.

Same as above except I used pink scraps of paper for the border punch and used the white gel pen around the edge. Enjoy!

Congrats card

This card was made using scraps on my work table. I used sizzix embossing for the congrats! I used scraps for the layering of the background. I used flowers that I cut from Walk In My Garden cartridge that were for a different project that did not happen. The brads were from a kit I bought last year. I used a white gel pen for the edges and also inked the egdes with dark brown chalk ink. I used stickles on the flower centers and on some of the dots on the paper to give some extra sparkle.

This is the inside of the card. I used The Wild Card Cartridge for the phrase and the cap. The cap is the card shape but I cut it at 2 inches and floded it over and used as an embellishment. I matted the phrase on a scrap piece of paper and inked the edges with dark brown chalk ink. Enjoy!

Using My Scraps

I am on a mission to use my scraps of paper from other projects before using a new sheet of paper. This card uses the scraps that were piling up on my work table. I cut the squares into 1 and 1/2 inches. Inked the edges with dark brown chalk ink. White gel pen for the stitches. The stamped images come from Studio G stamps. The flower is from the Cricut Cartridge Stretch Your Imagination and the shift key for the stretched flower. Cut it out in red paper for the base. I used green paper for the top layer. Added some doodle marks with the white gel pen to the flowers so they would show up better.

I'm Not Horsin' Around Card

I love the Paper Doll Dress Up Cartridge. There are many extras on this cartridge. The horse is one of them. The back of the case the cartridge comes in does not do this cartridge justice. This horse is so cute. The saying was created on the computer and printed on vellum. This is a birthday card but could be used for many other occasions. I used the cricut markers to draw all the outlines then without removing the mat I hit load paper and put the cutting blade back in and hit repeat last and cut. That really brings the horse to life. Enjoy

Birthday Card

Here is a card using the cricut and Stretch Your Imagination cartridge. I cut the flowers and layers at 3 inches. The middle flower was popped up with pop-dots. I used dark brown chalk ink on the flower edges. I used moss green ink on the flower pots. I used a see-dee's birthday stamp. The edge of the card is cut with a border punch from Fiskars (Threading Water). The bee is cut at 1 inch from Walk In My Garden cartridge. I used a white gel pen to look like stitches. Enjoy!

Spring Card

I made this Spring Card because today it is snowing where I am and I'm on Spring Break. I used cuttlebug corners in pale lavender. I cut the flower out in felt and matted it on three mats. The pattern paper is from Paper Wishes and it looked springy. I put a brad in the center of the flower. I put ribbon down the middle and used a staple to hold in place. Enjoy!

Silhouette Cards

I made these cards with a free dingbat from a font site. I used SCAL and my cricut to cut them out. I did faux stitching around the edeges. White ribbon wrapped around the middle of the card. I put pop-dots to pop the images up off the page. Enjoy!

Another Mothers Day Card

This is a card done in Design Studio. Everything is welded together and cuts out as one piece. I then cut everything out in different color paper. I inked the edges and used a brown marker for the detail in the flowers. I used pink stickles in the center of some of the flowers. It really pops against the black cardstock. Enjoy!

Mothers Day Card

With Easter Cards done I wanted to get started on Mothers Day Cards.This card I used Storybook Cartridge for the butterfly. The saying comes from Wild Card Cartridge. I inked the edges of the card with a blue chalk ink. Inked the edges of the saying with a pink chalk ink. I tired a ribbon around the patteren paper and used pop dots on the butterfly. Enjoy!

Old Fashion Bike

This is a birthday card. I found a picture of an old bike and converted it into a cut file. I used inkscape and then imported it in SCAL. I love this program. The black cut out in one piece and the wheels as separate pieces. For the spokes on the bike I first drew light lines and then I went back with a paper piercer poked holes along the lines. I then erased the lines. I added some silver glitter glue and inked the wheels. I used clear glossy finish on the wheels. I like how this turned out. It is not a girly card. Enjoy!
