Happy Birthday Rock Star!

Here is a little card I made using Once upon a princess cartridge. I made this card for a little girl who loves music and tells me she wan't to be a star one day! The larger girl is cut out at 2" and the smaller one is 1" The wording is cut out at 1". My favorite part about this is her little outfit. However the smaller girls was so tiny and really hard to glue together. I am entering this is the "are you ready to rock challenge!"

Just Peachy

Here is a fun stair stepper card I made with peaches, since it's National peach week, I thought I should get in the peachy mood.  For this card I used "just because cards" the peaches are 1.75" and the Just Peachy sign is 2" for the sign I just used chipboard and covered in brown paper and then glued them to the back so it looks more like a sign.  Then I used my peachy Keen stamps to give them all cute little faces.


For the stair stepper card here are the dimensions. 


Overall size is 12" Long by 6" wide then you score at 1.25", 2.5", 4.5" & 8.25" the fold mountain, valley, mountain, valley.  I sometimes have a hard time getting mine to stand up after I add all the stuff to it, so I take strips of chipboard and glue them to the underside it gives it good support. 
Here is a side view of the card.

Now you can make your own stair stepper card.

Big Birthday Wishes

Girl Birthday Card

I always need easy fast Birthday cards for the little kids in my neighborhood that is full of little ones.  So when I can make quick and easy fast cards that is the best.  I found Car Decal Cartridge can do just that, it has so any easy, and by easy I mean not a lot of layers to the image but can still be cute.  Car Decals cartridge has a lot of people images, and really I just love the silly faces.  I made both of these cards in about 20 minutes.  I think most of the time was spent picking little kids and colors!  The cards are both 6 x 6 cards and both of the little people are cut out at 4". The word BIG is cut out from the same cartridge, I love the dots of the end of the letters.  WOW that's a lot of love from one cartridge.

Butterfly Card

 I created this card using Create a Critter.  I didn't even know it had a butterfly on it.  I think this is one of the cuter butterfly's.  The butterfly is cut out at 1.25" along with all her parts.  I did cut the blackout of it and glued just the body and not the wings so that it has the three dimension look to it.  Then I used some self adhesvie jewels to the body.  For the paper I used Bazzill's new Worth Remembering Collection of single sheets.  They are super cute sheets of paper.  Cricut Direct is selling them in a pack with 18 different sheet variety you can get your here

Here is a side view so you can see the 3D look.

Splash

My boys were driving me crazy one night and we were working in the back yard, so I turned the sprinkler on and let them play in the water.  It's not on very high but they didn't care, I think they liked it better.
I made this simple little layout using create a critter for the splash wording (2") and everyday paper dolls for the elephants (3.75").  I cut a couple extra splash's out and cut off the water part for the elephant. I also used a small sharpie marker to highlight the details on the elephant so that he looked more realistic.

County Fair

This is a super cute layout that we made at our scrapbooking class.  It was a lot of fun and I didn't design it so I don't know the details.  I just thought it was super cute and would share it with you.  The theme was County Fair.  Here is a couple more photos of it up close

The fairs-wheel  and the cute little pig.  I love his googlie eye.

Here is the cute little bag we made, using a 12 x 12 sheet of paper. They also made the flower thing on the top, I think they really liked to make those, I found it kind of a pain it turned out way cute though.

And last we made this card to match everything else. It's really cute I love the floss we tied to the bottom. When it get backs in stock I will have to buy some and make some stuff of my own with it.  I hope you enjoyed seeing all the projects we made.

Holy Cow

This is a cow card I made for a Scrapbooking thing I went to (9 hours of scrapbooking) we were asked to make a project to share, and our theme was County Fair, so I made this cute little cow card.  To make this card I used Create a Critter  and my Gypsy of course. The cow is 5" then duplicate her and flip her on her head and welded them together so it folds.  Then created the different layers and glued her together.  I think she turned out way cute. And my little boy loves it and keeps stealing her and wants to color her pink.

First Day of School

This is a super easy layout using Lyrical Letters and Stretch your Imagination. The First Day of school is 1" from lyrical letters, and the school bus is from Stretch your Imagination it's 2". It's super easy and the ribbon line is really not crooked it just looks like it in the picture.

Wedding People

Little Wedding people :)  At least that's what they remind me of.  I made these using the Tie the Knot Cartridge. 

For the Bride: She is made at 11.5 inches. (That is as large as you can make it on a 12 x 12).  Then I cut the Extra piece at the 10.5 for the red.  Then lots of scoring and folding it fold in on it's self and creates a little box in the bottom that you could put treats for a Bridal shower in or what ever else you could imagine.  The space is not very big.  This would also be cute for a table decoration at the reception.  I tied the ribbon around the waist because it has no way of holding it's self together.

For the Groom he is 11 1/4 (That is as large as you can make it on a 12 x 12).  Then the extra piece the same.  This one has a lot of scoring and a lot of folding and flaps that fold into slots so it holds together very well.  If you don't have a scoring tool I recommend that you get one this has a lot of scoring and folding.  The shirt just slips in.  This has a larger holding area you could put a gift card in it and give it as a card or money in it.

Just Married

I used the Tie the Knot cartridge on this card.  The bell is cut at 3" and the just married at 1.5" I used a pop up to pop up the ribbon. This card is very simple and fast and easy to make.

Celebrate

Here is a wedding card I made using Tie the Knot cartridge,  I made the bell at 3" tall and the celebrate is 1.5" The over all size of the card is 5.5 x 5.5.  I used the background feature to cut the bell and used my gypsy to insert a heart into the bell.  I cut up a plastic baggy and tapped it all around , then used foam dots to the back to make it pop up and make room for the little beads.

Here is the bag tapped to the bell.

Cupcake House

 I got a new cartridge called Sweet Tooth Boxes, when I first got it I was so excited it looked like so much fun, then when I got it home and looked at it more I debated rather to take it back or not.  I almost did then I opened it. Now it's to late. So I figured now I have to make something, so I made this cupcake house.  This first picture is all the parts, I actually cut out many of them a couple times, decided I didn't like how the colors went together.  So when you see the final photo's and some of the pictures don't match up that's why.

 So after gluing the house together this is what it looked like.  

 This is one side with the embellishments  on it I used Buttons and brads and eyelets basically anything that would make the flowers look a little better

And this is the final product.  I think it turned out really cute.  I will have to use this cartridge again to make something else, it was a lot of fun. The only thing this house is missing is some tasty cupcakes!

Crabby Card

 This was a very fun pop up card to make, and very easy.  I found the template online of where to fold and score but I can't find the website again. So at the bottom I made my own little guide for you to follow and make one for yourself. 


This are the details for this card


Sun: Just Because Cards 3" Tall
Crab: Create a Critter 2.5" Tall
Bucket & Shovel: Life is a Beach 2.5" Tall
Sandcastle: Life is a beac 2.5" Tall
For the sand I used the same brown paper I used for the sand castle and distressed the edge.

This is the side view so you can see how it stands and pops up

And here is the guide to help you make your own. The white line is the only cut line.

Beach Bum

A few weeks ago we went to Sand Hollow with some friends to have a picnic and enjoy the nice sun shiny day.  As it has been a very cold and wet winter seeing the sun and being at the lake was something we all needed.  My boys thought that is was the best thing in the world. We had a hard time getting Kenny out of the water and even Nathan just wanted to sit in the water and splash all day.  At least until he got tired and fell asleep. I can't wait to get the photo's on it :)

For this layout I used the Life is a Beach, Everyday Paper Dolls and Gypsy Wanderings

The sun: 7.75" from the Gypsy Wanderings Cartridge. I Cut it once regular and then hid the inside cut out and cut it again for the orange background.
