HELLO

My mom winters in Florida and she did not take any of her cardmaking stuff this year and was feeling blue about that, so I made  3 different sets of 4 cards each to send to her to put together.  This is from one of the sets.  I thought she could give them to the hostess if they were invited somewhere for dinner as a little thank you gift.  The circle paper is from DCWV, the gray card base is from one of those 12x12 plain stacks from Michael's and the red is from my scraps.  The phone was cut from the Cricut From My Kitchen cart and I think I cut it at 31/4 or 3 1/2.  I also included plain white inserts that you can write on.  My mom thought the inserts were too plain so she bought a punch and punched down both sides and that really jazzed them up!

TART N' TANGY

I made these a few days ago using a fruit stamp set I bought from Stampin' Up called Tart n' Tangy and my Marvy Markers. I used my Nestabilities to cut and emboss the circles and the blue strawberry paper is from Scraps of Joy in Barrie.

TWO CUP DAY

I have been so busy lately I haven't had much time for cardmaking but I moved the craft room to the basement (will post some pictures soon) and it is so much more functional now that I had to sit and make a card using this Changito Monkey stamp and sentiment from Stampendous. The floral paper is from a K and Company pad called Lemon Drop that I think I bought from Wal-Mart. The bottom sentiment is from a Stampin' Up set. Well off to start the laundry and pull weeds........have a great day!

IN THE DOG HOUSE

Rain rain go away!!!! Is it ever going to stop? Guess I shouldn't complain since I've had time to do things other than gardening! I made this gatefold card using my Scor-Pal. The dog house was cut out using the Cricut Doodlecharm cart cut at 4". I used Cuttlebug's distressed stripe folder on the bottom of the house and mosaic tile on the roof. The stamps are from Inkadinkadoo called Dogs.

YOU BRIGHTEN MY DAY

Wow, I have been so busy lately working, gardening, cooking, cleaning.................you know the drill I'm sure, that I have been too busy to even think about card making. My daughter though seems to have a lot of time on her hands because she has made about 8 cards this past week so I will post a few of her creations. The paper is from K and Company and the stamp is from Stampendous (H253 Bright Day) that we bought at Michael's. Well I am off to cook and do some more gardening!!!

DREAM

The idea for this card came from CardMaker magazine. I used one of the butterflies off the Cricut Walk in My Garden cartridge and cut it out of white vellum. The paper is from a pack of K and Company called Wild Saffron that I bought at Wal-Mart. The stamp is from Inkadinkadoo called Garden Words. I inked around the butterfly with white pigment ink and I ripped the top and side of the card at the front only to allow the inside pattern to show.

FLOWER POT NOTE CARD

This is a flower pot note card. Scrappin' dad had one on his site and you will also find the link there http://scrappindad.blogspot.com/ that will give you the actual measurements for the card. I cut the flowers from the Cricut Plantin Schoolbook cart, the smaller leaves are from the Cricut Walk In My Garden cart and the longer leaves are from the Cricut Stretch Your Imagination cart.

ALWAYS FRIENDS

Another card & matching envelope made with the Wildcard cart. The card is designed to open left to right but I made it so it opens right to left. I made a mistake and put the words on reversed but decided to leave it that way. I added a dragon fly stamp.
