Guess What Time It Is?

Hello Blogger Buddies,
I'm back from my trip to the Great American Scrapbooking Convention, and little mini vacation.  I decided to stay for a week, and relax with daughter, and friends.  They think I'm nuts with my purchases at the convention.  But in their own way they appriciate what I do, especially when they need a special card. 
I love, love clocks, and when I saw this Spellbinders Cuckoo Clock die, well I just couldn't wait to get home and use it!  I will some day own a Cuckoo clock, but gosh are they expensive! 
Here is my Cuckoo Card Creation.

Got White Cardstock?

Hello Blogger Buddies!!  If you just can't find the right colored cardstock for your next card, why not do an all white card like I have.  I found that you can really get creative with different boarders, and embossing.  I used a Martha Stewart boarder punch along with a set of Spellbinder dies.  I also embossed one of the layers with the Divine Swirls Cuttlebug folder, and added a small white doily that I cut in half, and added to the left sides of the top layer.  I added a white bow and to finish off the card, I added some of my pearl flowers, and one of my home made stick pins.  I added a sentiment that I stamped in black ink, which the center of the pearl beads have a silver center that match the butterfly on the pin.  Thank you all soooo much for supporting me with your visits and comments.

Golf Is Life

Hello Blogger Buddies,
Today it's time for a guy card.  I borrowed the Sports Mania Cricut Cartridge from my friend Beulah, and decided I had to add it to my cricut collection.  So on our shopping trip last week, I actually found this older cartridge at JoAnn's.  Lucky me, and thanks Beulah for enabling me.
OK back to the card.  I used a 5-1/2" x 7-1/2" card base.  The golfer was cut at 5-1/2", the bag at 3-1/2", the ball and tee at 2-1/2" and the cart also had some grass that I cut at 1" in two different shades of green.  It's not so difficult to make a card for a guy if he has a hobby.  This was fun to make since I didn't use any flowers or large bows.  Have fun creating a card for your guy!  Thank you for taking the time to visit me today.  I sooooo appreciate all of you!

Always Loving You

Hello Blogger Buddies!!  This was such a fun card to make because I was able to make one of my ribbon roses using a 1-1/2" pink ribbon which gave me a very large pink rose to add to the center of this medallion.  I used five layered mats, and I didn't use any foam tape on any of the layer mats.  I was trying to challenge myself to not use too much foam tape on this card.  I actually like the matting on this card because it didn't make it too bulky.  I did use foam tape on the center layers....Just a little.    I think my card would of been too bulky if I had popped up all the layers.
I used the top note die which was cut from white card stock, and layered the large Floral Doily Motif from Spellbinders.  The top cut is the large Pendant from Spellbinders Shapeabilities.  The rose was added, and also one of my homemade pins.  Don't forget to watch my videos on how to make my ribbon roses, and stick pins.
Thank you all so much for your comments, and for visiting me.  I love to share my ideas with my wonderful followers and visitors.

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!!

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!
