RECIPE SCRAPBOOK PG. 2

I was on a roll yesterday and got the second page done for my daughter's cookbook.  I cut everything out with Cricut Life's A Beach cart except the fish which is from Stampin' Up's Fishy Friends stamp set.  I used my Nestabilities to cut around the recipe and colored the fish with my Copics.  Here are the numbers I used;

BG01, BG02, YG03, Y06 & V04

 I embossed the boat & sails with my Cuttlebug embossing folders for some extra texture and used my Peachy Keen Everyday Faces stamp set for the sun.

 I hadn't used my crop-a-dile for awhile so I screwed up the one eyelet and couldn't fix it without ruining my page so it had to stay that way.......sigh

SPLIT NEGATIVE

Gosh I can't believe that summer is almost half over.  I too like many of the blogs I follow have lost my mojo when it comes time to designing something.  It takes me so long to pick out the papers and put everything together that I have just made some copies of cards from various blogs that I follow.  There sure are some talented ladies out there!  This is a copy from Stampin' Up with Dawn called Split Negative.  I just love it.  I also used one of the old trucks from an older Stampin Up set that I think is called Your a Classic but not sure.  It turned out really nice as well but it is a bigger card than this one.  Here is the link to the video that Dawn did with all the instructions;

I used two different sentiments.  One I welded together using the Gypsy & my Cricut and the other one was from the $1.50 bin at Michael's.  This card is so great for a masculine card and very simple to do.  The inside sentiment is computer generated.

CHEERS

Here is another card I found while I was blog searching for masculine card ideas  http://andreawalford.com/?p=2494 You can find all the instructions there.

I used Stampin' Up's chocolate chip for the base, the strip down the middle and the letters.  The yellow and embossed brown paper are from Bo Bunny.   I used my copic (Y32, Y35, N1 & O) to color the beer mug.  The stamps are from Stampin' Up Cheers To You set.  I embossed the brown paper with Cuttlebugs Tiny Mosaic embossing folder.  The smiley faces are from Cricut Wildcard cart and the letters are from Cricut Don Juan cart cut at 3/4"  I made 4 of these, two for Father's Day cards and two for birthday cards.

Here is the inside;

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY 2

I found the layout for this card on the following site http://cutecardsandcraftsbyjamie.blogspot.com/2010/04/thank-you-lifes-beach.html and thought it would make a cute father's day card or any masculine card.  The chair is cut from Cricut Life's A Beach cart at 3" and the birds are from the same cart and cut at 2".  The sand colored paper is from Sandy Lion.  I added a bit of glitter pen to the sand which you can't see in the pic and I gave my chair a worn look with a white ink pad and my finger and just rubbed it in.  I distressed the edges with my finger and rolled them at bit.  I also added a bit of chalk to the sky.

Here is the inside;

 

The shell stamp is from a Stampin' Up set that I think is now retired and I don't know the name.

DIMENSIONAL LADY BUG CARD

I saw this card on Dawn's Stamping Thoughts on You Tube and thought it was adorable and just had to make one.  I didn't use anything Stampin' Up on mine (yikes).  I used  Marvy circle & scalloped punch, EK Success Arch Scallop punch, the stamp on the outside is from a set from Michael's called Birthday Wishes and the inside sentiment is from Copper Leaf Creations.

Here is the link for Dawns;

It's just too cute and very simple to make!

THANKS A LATTE!

This is another one of the cards from the sets I sent to my mom.  The stamps are from Stampin' Up, the geometric paper is from DCWV and the polka dot paper is from a box I got at Costco a few years back.  I used chalk around the white circle.  The punch is from Michael's.

CHEERS TO YOU

This is the card I made for my son's 19th birthday yesterday! They grow up so fast. I used Stampin' Up Cheers To You set, my Nestabilities and Cricut Plantin Schoolbook cartridge. The paper is from Scraps of Joy in Barrie.

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!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

My daughter made this card using the Stampin' Up Cheers to You set.

WE MAY NOT BE TADPOLES ANYMORE.....

I made this card for my sister's birthday. I used Marvy markers and chalk. The frog stamp is from Inkadinkadoo. The inside verse which is from Stampin' Up says "We may not be tadpoles anymore but at least we haven't croaked.

MANHATTEN ROSE

This is a card I made for my Grandma for her Birthday using Stampin' Up's Manhatten Rose embossing folder. I embossed the card and then cut around the rose design and then I embossed it on to vellum paper, cut around it and adhered it with vellum tape. I used my Scor-Pal to score around the outside of the card. Hope Grandma likes it!!

FORE!!!!

I made this card with another stamp from Copper Leaf Creations. The fore stamp and golf ball are from Stampin' Up. I colored it in with my Marvy markers and embossed the background with Cuttlebug's Tiny Bubbles embossing folder. The letters were cut using the Cricut Printing 101 cartridge.
