Valentines Card for Greg

Hello I made this card last week. It's very early for Valentines cards but I wanted to have one made just in case as our shipping container will take 3 months, that will be November but with all the stuff to do with moving into our house, getting our plans made for our own house and everything else I wanted to have one made. I'm pretty sure I will be all organized in my craft room in the rental house by then, we got some great Ikea storage yesterday that I'm so excited to put my things in and I'm sure I'll be back papercrafting by then but I feel better knowing I do have a card for Greg. If I do get time to make another one, Greg will just be a lucky boy and get two : ).
I used a pink card base then some heart paper, I cut a strip of pink and embossed it and inked around the edges. I cut my cupcakes on my Cricut and added some Peachy Keen stamp faces (I love these!) and I used my Cricut to write my sentiment and onto a banner. I added some red heart gemstones to finish. Isn't it cute? Thanks for looking.

Hoo Roo Card

Hello I made this card over the weekend for our friends Tanya and Ivy, she has been giving us a card a week mostly thank you and we will miss you cards which is so nice so I decided to make them one back. We are having them over for dinner on Sunday and we have a lovely card and gift to give them but this is just an extra one to take around today. I had this lovely little set of Aussie stamps I got ages ago at Lincraft I think and this was perfect for this. I just cut a pink square card and then a dotted layer. I cut a white circle out and stamped and colored in the Kangaroo with colored pencils. I love that little Kangaroo on his bike, thanks for looking.

Thank you Card

Hello well here I am again I won't be on much soon because just getting things done for our move but when I do get a spare moment I may be able to get in my craft room. I had a card to make as a thank you for one of my clients Alex who very kindly has organized a little get together for our leaving which I thought was very nice. So on the weekend I got her a gift of some tea and also some beautiful chocolates. there is a new chocolate shop open on Michigan Ave and they had some beautiful chocolates so I got her some of those. To go with the gift is a card I made today on my Cricut. I also used some Spun Sugar distress ink around the edge of the layer and some cute Peachy Keen face stamps, I just love these they just make everything so cute and happy. I used my Cricut to write my greeting as well. Thanks for looking.

Thank you Card

Hi, we are getting closer now to going home and so now with our rental house all organized (such a lovely house too), I decided to make a thank you card for the Real Estate Agent who helped us with securing the house all via email. We also found out that she will be our neighbour when we build our house as her block of land is opposite ours. So I made the card in a tropical theme as we'll be in a tropical place. I started with a green card then an orange layer. I then stamped in Versamark ink on a white layer and embossed with white powder. I then went over it with 3 different colors of Distress Ink. I cut a banner on my Cricut and used the orange pen to write my greeting and the flower. I then went over that with Green distress ink and did some faux stitching around it. I think it turned out lovely and colorful and maybe we'll have some flowers just like this in our garden soon.

Wedding Card

Hello I'm back on my blog I've been away for a bit busy now we know for sure our sale is going through so been very busy with that and the dog walking and everything else as well as enjoying the sun when it's been out. I made a wedding card for Hayley today, I've had it sitting on my desk for a couple of weeks. I started it and did the inside first which was a piece of striped vellum and stamped. For the outside I found this lovely cute design on Pinterest so this is not my own idea and I won't take credit for an idea that isn't mine. I made it in classy wedding colors and I found some lovely embossed paper the other day at Joanns so I got that. I did however use my Cricut pens to write my sentiment on the car. The car with the couple in is from the Sweethearts cartridge and like the card I saw, to make it more "weddingy" I added a little bit of tuille as a veil.
