more snow day cards

I used patterned paper from the mariposa mat stack and then a simon says stamp die.

snow day card making

An unexpected snow day meant some crafting. I made 6 of these. A little plain but they will do. All the cuts done on my explore. The sentiment stampin up.

shaker card

My son is kinda freaking out he is turning 30 this month so of course I had to showcase his age on the card. I welded the 30 from the cricut font on the explore to create this card.

sympathy card

I used cricut design space to weld the stamped image into a rectangle. Then sized the flowers. I can't remember what carts the images were from. Its easy to lose that part when you just search images.

Banner

Wow so much has happened since I last posted. I got the flu right after Christmas. My mom got bronchitis at the same time and unfortunately passed away from it January 6th. So I've been in a bit of a fog that is slowly lifting. The past 2 weeks I really started crafting again. I have my project life and holiday pictures almost caught up. I've also been making some cards and this banner. My daughter is maid of honor in a wedding this summer and she is planning the shower. She saw a banner similar to this but much plainer on pinterest and sent me the picture. I used my explore to size and cut everything. I used elegant edges and the font is from cuttin up. The bride to be loves cheetah print so I used pink cheetah for the heart. Not sure of the cart for that. I just searched heart in cricut design space and used one I owned.

still using my imagine

It doesn't always work the best but I am still using it. If Santa is good to me I just may upgrade to an explore.

Crappy photo quality but at least I am posting a project. Candy bags to give out. The candy is crock pot Christmas crack candy and it is yummy. I used Imagine snow angel, a Martha Stewart punch and paper trey ink stamp.

holiday card

I needed some holiday cards to send to my non christian friends so I made some of these. I got the inspiration on pinterest but I used totally different products. The tree stamp is lovely as a tree stamped in stamp-n stuff marcasite opaque embossing powder. Bought it years ago and was never successful with it until I started using the powder bag thing that preps the surface before embossing. The sentiment is a years old MSE stamp that was the right scale for the card. I tied heat embossing the sentiment it didn't work for me. So I stamped in papertrey black in and used a belly roll clear star pen to color in the open areas of the letters on the stamped sentiment. I used color box charcoal color for the edging. I loved the black sparkle paper for the mat .
