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.

Giraffe Birthday Card

Here is a really easy Birthday Card I created using Create a Critter Cartridge.  The Giraffe is at 4" tall and the balloons are 1.25" and the Happy Birthday is 1"  .  Then  I just used some skinny ribbon to make the balloon string and tucked it under his tail.  This is a fun card for a little boy or girl.

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.

"Have a Perrr fect Birthday"













 I made these cute cards for my friends for their Birthday I used the Create a Critter Cartridge and used my gypsy to weld them together with no features. Then cut a regular one out to place over the top along with their layers.  On the inside of the chick it say's "Happy Birthday Chick".  The inside of the cat says " Have a Perfect Birthday.
