Cricut and Stamps - what a lovely duo

Yes, I am back at it, I haven't forgotten my blog already.

I got everything cleaned up from this weekend's cricut class and PMS crop.  We had a great time at both.  I learned so much more about my cricut that I had no idea it could do.  So I thought I would try out a few things and I also needed a b-day present and card for a good friend of mine whose b-day is today.

I made a name frame from the cricut.  She always says she is only an expert in Disney, Dogs and dentistry.  So I put all three of those things on her frame.  Plus her little girl.

I also pulled a card from my favorite's on SCS to case.  I have been wanting to make this card forever, and this is perfect for my friend.  I embossed the flower 2 times with versamark and clear EP.  The 3rd time I used Iridescent Ice EP.  I also pulled out the old Purely Pomegranate for my paper color.  I hope she likes her frame and card.

 

     

My Favorite Things Monday

  This is a card I cased from SCS.  I love the colors.  I used the ALWAYS stamp set, this is my favorite stamp set right now.  I also used versamark and white ep, and embossed on the DSP Rasberry Tart.   I love the effect.  I need to do this more often.  Hope you enjoy! 

Anything goes Friday

I saw this card on SCS while looking at another project.  I thought it was so cute I forwarded it to my friend who has a little girl in soccer.  I suggested she needed to give this to her coach.  Without missing a beat, she emailed back that she needed it by Monday.  So I couldn't resist.  I had to play with my new All in the Family set again anyway.  Presley even joined me and stamped a card just like Mommy's.  Except she needed ribbon on her card!!

This base of the card is black and is 6 1/2 x 5 1/2.  The soccer balls are popped up on dimensionals, and I just cut some garden green for the grass.  What a fun set! 

I think I am going to offer a class in June to make the name frames with this set. 

here is the card that I cased - http://britineyj.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html

Technique Tuesday

Well, here is a cute card I have been wanting to make for a long time.  But I thought it would be a difficult card to make.  But of course, it wasn't near as hard as I thought it would be. 

I used the Tart & Tangy and the chunky glitter from the mini catalog.  Which by the way, the dates have been extended.  The catalog is now good through June 30.

My Favorite Things Monday

To get back into the routine, I need to start off with my favorite things - swaps!!  You ladies always inspire  and impress me.  Here are the swaps from our last card meeting!

Kristin did a great shaker card  Kandis tried out her new punches with a great color combo

Shannon used some beautiful designer paper with glitter and a punch popup!

Desiree used her tab punch and vellum paper to make index tabs for the catalog. 

I am just so proud of all of you!  Your creativity and cards always impress me!

Thanks for sharing!  Have a great Monday - and Happy Stamping!

Holiday Wishes Wednesday

So Presley went to my Mom's on Sunday, and have I had a chance to get any stamping done - NNNOOOO!!  I am just now getting in here to stamp - Thursday afternoon, and my parents are bringing Presley back today along with my niece.  My brother and SIL are also on their way up here!  So anyway, I do have a holiday post, but it is not a Christmas card.  It is the next best holiday - EASTER!  This is also a total catty case.  This is my third card to case from the catty so far.  Isn't it great to have such an amazing inspiring idea book and catalog!!

So let me know what you think of my little Easter egg card!

Holiday Wishes Wednesday

It was good to make another Christmas card again.  I just love combining the Baroque Motifs and the Holy Triptych together.  It has such an elegant look to it. 

The Holy stamp set is technically the only thing Christmasy about this card.  I used Chocolate chip paper and ink.  I stamped the triyptch in chocolate chip craft ink and embossed it with Iridescent Ice.  I stamped the baroque image in versamark and embossed with clear ep.    The paper is from last year's catalog - Brocade Background.   

My Favorite Things Monday

Hello - Hello- Hello - I'm here I promise.  I am sorry I am running a little behind on my posts.  But has this time change killed y'all like it has me?  I cannot wake up in the morning and I just want to nap in the afternoon!  But, the weather has been great!  I have just been so busy!!

I did have a wonderful workshop on Sunday night in Carrollton at Kristin's house.  I got to meet some new customers and hopefully create a few more addicts!!  We might even start up a new club up there!

Here are a couple of projects we created.  Of course we had to use the SAB sets, and the new Tart & Tangy - Love it!!

I used the markers to color in the So Many Scallops stamp.  I used the 3 for you punch kit for the white polka dots and the crooked friend stamp.

I can't wait to use the Tart & Tangy again.  It is just screamin' to be glittered!!

Holiday Wishes Wednesday

HO HO HO - When Presley woke up this morning and saw the snow in our backyard she asked, "Is is Christmas today Mommy?".  Well, the answer of course is NO - and she had forgotten all about the snow when she was playing outside this afternoon in the beautiful sunshine!!  I love TEXAS - no where else can have all we have here!!

Simple card from the stash today.  So hope you enjoy!

Anything goes Friday - birthday card

Sorry for the delay in post today ladies, but sometimes it is just too pretty outside even to stamp!  And today was one of those days.  I went out for some bar-b-que, and to the zoo with my family today.  It was wonderful.  The weather was just perfect.  I hope you got to enjoy a little today yourself, or maybe you can this weekend!

Well, this little stamp set has been sitting on my desk since Wednesday screaming at me - Play with me - Love me!!  Well- I do.  Bambi made a comment the other day that I think is perfect for this stamp set - I don't think you can make a bad card with it!  It is just so stinkin' cute!  It is also just screaming for crystal effects, and some sugared brads.  Look for lots more photos of this stamp set to come in the next few weeks!  I am sad though, this little card isn't even staying with me for 24 hours.  He is off to wish one of my very dear friends a happy belated birthday!!

Have a great weekend!
