Lady Isabella

Meet the newst member of our family. She is a 6 month old chihuahua. We were not going to get another dog after the lose of our greyhound but one look at that face and you know the rest. She is still getting used to her new surroundings. She is a little porker weighing in at 6 pounds. She has not made a sound yet, but I'm sure that will change once she settles in. Enjoy!

Reindeer Shape Card

Create A Critter cartridge used and the gypsy.

I welded 2 reindeer together and flipped one.

I used black cardstock for the base of the card. The card is 5.5 high by 4.25 wide.

Dark brown for the first layer.

Medium brown for the second layer.

Light brown for the top layer.

Red for the nose and scarf.

I used chalk on the edges. Simple but cute. Enjoy!

Shape Card- Travel Trailer

I used the gypsy for this card. I sized it to be an A2 card. I used Everyday Paper Dolls. I welded 2 campers together. Then I cut 2 more out, one in solid cardstock and on with pattern paper. I cut the pattern paper cutout apart and used pieces to decorate with. I made the curtains and tie backs freehand. I put vellum behind the door and windows. I used my white gel pen to add some detail. The nice thing with the gypsy is I can design all the cards and then when there is time lay out all the paper and cut. Don't have to worry about getting the cartridges out. This card can be used for going away, vacation or birthday or anyone who enjoys camping. Enjoy!

Simple Pink and Black Birthday Card

A simple birthday card made with leftover pieces on my table. The flowers are from George and Basic Shapes. They were from the scrapbook page I made. I cut 4 squares and popped the flowers up and went around the edge with a white gel pen. I used white embossing powder on the happy birthday stamp. The centers of the flowers I used stickles. The pattern paper is a scrap that I tore around the edges. Went around the edge of the card with my white gel pen. Enjoy!

I'm not Lion

I used the lion from Create A Critter. He is cut at 2 inches. All the layers are cut at 2 inches. I used the Spots and Dots cuttlebug folder and then went over it with a black ink pad. I used my Crop A Dile to add the eyelets. The cloud was cut at 2 inches. I printed the saying out then set up my cricut to cut around it. I used brown chalk on the lion around the edges. Used brown ink around the edges of the cloud and added some dots. Added some stitch lines around the base. The pattern paper is scraps laying on my table. The nice thing about this cartridge is I am using a lot of scraps. This could be used for a Father's Day card or Birthday Card. Enjoy!
