Easter holiday card swap--Cricut MB swap


Here is what I came up with for the Easter themed swap..at first I was thinking it was too plain but as I was decorating I actually liked it..(which is not the norm for me..I usually find fault with my stuff...LOL) It is simple but cute! I just used george to cut the flowers out and then cut one in shadow, used some "rhinestones" for the centers and a button with some floss on the middle flower, used the "Easter" stamp and just went around it with my copic glitter pens (I love how smooth they flow) then used some liquid pearls for the dots on the Easter piece..used some "skittles" down the side..

Christmas card for the Holiday Card Swap on the Cricut MB


I got my new CardMaker magazine a couple weeks ago and seen this "JOY" card and I liked it so much I used it as my inspiration for my card for the swap...I finally used some Coredinations paper and used my one cuttlebug embossing folder..I used base camp for the 2 letters and the wreath is a sticker from Mrs. Grossman I believe...I also just used my cat's eye ink to dab over the letters...I think I may have to go with this design for Christmas...(let's see if I remember then..LOL)

I signed for a couple holiday card swaps and one of the holidays I chose was Valentine's day..here is what I came up with..the cards are from DCWV and so is the patterned paper..I used some stickles on it as well and a couple flowers...I hope the ladies in the swap like them..

Altered Lunchbox


This is an altered lunchbox I made for a swap I am on the cricut MB..I liked the Daisy D paper so I used it on this as well. I used my storybook cart for the letters and for the butterflies. I used some paper glaze on the butterflies and some pop dots on them.

Not sure yet if I am going to add ribbon to the handle...I also decorated both sides, did it the same..

Another Dress Card


I really like this design for a card..I used Daisy D paper on this card!

Journaling-Tag Swap..Boy/Fall Themed


For this swap, I used my storybook cart and cut the piece out (I think it was from the birthday boy one, used the accent shadow, I believe, then did the cut again with the other feature and attached them with brads...

then I took the inside of the second cut and just added a piece of white cardstock, rounded the corners and inked the edges blue for an additional journaling piece for the swap..I couldn't see just throwing those pieces away!

Journaling Tag Swap-Girly/Swing Theme


I used my cricut for the tag, used the tags, bags, boxes and more one..I cut my orange flower then did did the same cut with the mirror option then just stamped my journaling stamp on the inside...

Easter Card


Here is my Easter card..I don't usually do Easter cards but I really like this bunny and I had some Easter cards from a box set I bought last year.. I used flock for the first time, not sure if I did it right bu the pink on her ears are done with flocking..then I just used some stickles for her eyes and used my gel pens for the nose and mouth and whiskers. I heat embossed the Easter stamp..

Challenge Me Card Swap for April


I used my HK greetings for this card, cut her at 4 1/2 inches and used the Plantin Schoolbook for the grass (cut to length feature). The theme was April showers bring May Flowers and had to use some blue and white together (so I hope the stamp that is stamped in white is okay.. :)

June ATC


The theme for June was cupcakes!! I really couldn't think of anything to do for this one so I just stamped a cupcake (from the Studio G stamps) and used my new copic pens/marker things to color it...used some fuzzy looking ribbon and this is what I got (the paper is from a DCWV stack)

May ATC


May's theme was birthday and using navy and burgundy. I used the Hello Kitty Greetings cart for the Happy Birthday wording and used stickles for the centers of the flowers.
