How To Construct A Large Card Base

Hello Blogger Friends!
By using two pieces of card stock you can make a 5-1/2"x 7-1/2" card base. This is typically what I use to make most of my cards. The great thing is that you can purchase envelopes to fit this size at Staples. Either in the envelope section or a smaller quantity in the stationary section.  Thank you again soooo much for visiting me today!

Fancy Frames Easel-VIDEO

Hello Blogger Buddies!
I would like to share how to assemble the three sided easel on the Fancy Frames Cricut Cartridge.  I have cut it out at 8" to accommodate a 5-1/2"x 7-1/2" card.  I used  regular card stock, and really holds it shape well.  There is no need to use chipboard, or double your cuts.  Have fun making your Fancy Frames easels. and thank you sooo much for visiting me today!!

Happiest Birthday Ever-Spellbinder Dies

Hello Blogger Buddies!!  Thank you all for your wonderful comments during our blog hop.  It was a really big  success thanks to you, and all the crafters that were co-hosts.  Thank you PinkE for selecting me as one of your co-hosts.
Today's card is made using mostly squares, and rectangles.  I did use some spellbinder dies to cut a few of the shapes.  I am so into these dies that my wallet is very light.  Come and have a look on the video below on how to construct this card.  Thank you all sooooo much for stopping by for a visit today.  I appreciate you all so much.

BIG FOOT-Birthady Card-Campin Critters

Hello blogger buddies,
Today I have a very simple guy card to share with you.  My friend Greg's every footstep is heard through out the house, especially when he is coming up or down the stairs.  This card with big foot will be perfect for his birthday since the image was mounted on an action wobble.   I added several mats on a 5-1/2" x 7-1/2" card base.  The big foot was cut at 4-1/4" from the Campin Critters Cricut Cartridge.  Thank you  sooo much for stopping by to visit me today.  I hope you have a wonderful week!

Bobble Head Card-Everyday Paper Dolls-VIDEO ADDED

Hello blogger buddies!!
My cousins spent several hours in line in DC to get a bobble head of their favorite baseball pitcher. They had a great time at the game, but missed the fact that the bobble heads were all gone by the time they got to the gate.
So.....I just had to make them into bobble heads.LOL I used the Everyday Paper dolls for this card.  I added their heads to action wobbles.  Enjoy!

Friends-Art Nouveou

Hello Blogger Buddies,
It has been too long since I made a video.  So I plan to get back on track, and start posting them again for you.  This card is just to cute, and love the bee on this cartridge.  There are a few images on the cart that I don't think I will use, such as the head shots.  The rest of the images make up for the ones I may not use.  This is just my opinion on this cartridge.
I hope you enjoy today's card project and I want to thank you soooo much for visiting me and thank you so much for all your support.

Art Nouveau-Birthday Card

Hello Blogger Buddies!
Today's cards are made using the Art Nouveau Cricut Cartridge.  I have been wanting this cartridge for a long time.  It has some really sophisticated images on it. 
The card base has several graduating layers.  I cut the swan from page 64 at 3".  The cattails are on page 32 and are cut at 4".  I added foam tape to the back of the swan as well as the cattails.  For just that little extra spark I added flat back pearl beads to areas on the swan.  These two images are very easy to assemble, and didn't take very long to put together.  If you own this cartridge, why not make this quick, and easy card for a special friend.
Thank you all so much for visiting me today.  I appreciate all who visit.  It keeps me motivated to keep giving you ideas for your projects.

Hello Blogger Buddies,
I wanted to make a special thank you card for some friends of mine that are always watching my dogs for me, so that I can spend time visiting my daughter.  Last year I found a set of dogie quote stamps  at Michael's that went perfect for the front of this card.  Once again I used the Flower Shop Cricut cartridge to cut the flowers.  I cut them in various sizes starting at 1-1/4" up to 2-1/2".    I also added some pearl flowers along with just a touch of ribbon.  The leaves are from one of my spellbinder dies.  I love how the leaves can be embossed using the dies.  This is not always achievable when cutting them with the cricut.  It is nice to have an assortment of supplies you can choose from.  It helps add to your creativity.  Thank you all sooooo much again for visiting me, and I hope you have a terrific rest of the week!
