Mojo #427 contest

Hello to all,  I had to make this months MoJo sketch, this card popped into my head right away. I also used the negative by cutting out the windows with my design studio for a different look.  used ink and gel glitter pen.      black band is 4 x 1 1/2,  green band is 4 x 1 3/8

another birthday card

good morning, for a April birthday... I used a 2 sided paper for this, color is better in real life, but you get the idea.

BBTB2 anything goes

hello to all,  I saw this card on pinterest and had to try it with my cricut, ( Kris McIntosh from stampingwithkris) used a template. I used wedding solutions, George, and my design studio. I was happy the way it turned out,   I need to make more shaped cards. My girlfriend will love to get this on her birthday. I also added a gem that was in my stash.

Birthday card for Cindy

Hi again,   this I found on pinterest, the original design is from Connie over at constantly stamping.  I really like the way this turned out and will be making it again, Hers had a pretty ribbon on it and looked lovely.

 

I love everything about this card, the layers, the floral paper going all the way to the 

edge, and the liquid pearls did not smug for me this time!!!

Jeremiah's BD card

good morning to all, this one is for my s-i-l    I saw this card on pinterest  card made by
Visit texascountrygirl28.blogspot.com
what I thought was so cute about it. was that the tools do not match the screws and nails on the boards and that there are plenty holding them in place.
I made the wrenches with George and basic shapes with my Design studio 

Kyle's 10th Birthday

Hello to all, Kyle was our little surprise when he was born, see, the ultra sound my daughter had was a 95% chance of him being a girl, goes to show you that they have a little room for a mistake, lets just say I had to return a lot of pink. At Christmas time, which is no fun at all!
Any way out little man loves Bat man and I do not have anything bat man so I went to my paper doll dress up cartridge super boy  on page 56 and used black for bat colors, used my DS to weld the mask and hair together to get to look of BM and used the diamond shape from George for the pointy ears. I am sure he will love it!

card #2

Hi all, Over at BBTB2 they have a challenge to use a cricut card feature. So I went through my cartridges and since I wanted to make a card with a fish on it for the fund raiser, found this one in life is a beach. I don't remember making this type of card before, my design studio came in handy with this card for sizing., would not have be able to with out it! the first one was a royal pain, but the 2nd went together like a charm!

 

after making the first on I noticed that it should have a water line in the bowl

so for the 2nd I created one, it is not on the cartridge but made one with my DS

Happy bd Kris

Good morning to all,,, Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and a great start of the New Year!!
Not so around here...My husband thru out his back on Monday,bad timing because he had to wait til Wed. for the chiropractor's office to open. He had one treatment and will have to go 3 times a week for at least 3 weeks.. a lot to ask of a stubborn farmer, but better now than during planting season...

for this card I found a challenge and hop at terrific Tuesday challenge....

Winter Tic Tac Toe Terrific Tuesday Challenge Hop!

 

I had this card on my DS and had everything in one line.....snowflakes, blue and for die cuts I used my cricut  Art Philosophy for the snowflake and banners   I also used the ribbon, blue and glitter (gel pen around snowflake)  with the sentiment and patterned paper....looks like the embossing and the buttons are the only things I did not use!!   secret phrase     Baby New Year!!!

fancy circle edge

good morning to all,this one is going to my girlfriend for her birthday, I used the circle on page 65 in Art Philosophy,  shift font layer and deleted most of the design in the center and welded a circle from George in the white and placed another circle in the brown on top of that for the background.
this is also for a challenge over at paper playtime #89   anything goes
used a lot of my glitter pen to sparkle things up!

Lydia turns 2

good morning,  this is for my nieces daughter, who will be turning 2 on Sat. 
not sure if you can see, but I made the background by welding together from art philosophy, I was going for a cage look for the lion...

thinking of you

Good morning to all, or maybe I should say very foggy out today!!!
I have been wanting to make this card since I first saw it 3 years ago on Kelly's blog,  but I did not have my design studio at that point and when I did have it, I just could not get it to weld properly .....until now... I found this on pinterst, pined it and forgot about it, until  a few days ago I was looking through boards and saw an interesting picture that said   my cricut font list, updated monthly...even though I don't have many font cartridges I clicked on it anyway.....and happy I did ...the front page said  cricut lovers guide to design studio..
Design Studio Tutorials   you will find it here.......
http://myfaqcricutds.blogspot.com/
then go to...Welding objects/text inside a shape
also for the gypsy and cricut message board

Now for Kelly's card....you will find it here...
 http://kreativekornerbykelly.blogspot.com/2009/09/you-are-in-our-thoughts-and-prayers.html

I made this pattern like Kelly's,  after reading hers  she downloaded this from a file, I made mine
one diamond at a time.....saved it for next time!!!

note card

thought I would try this square one more time!

hexagon

good morning to all,   I used my Design studio to weld the black background together so that I would have a grid to place all the hexagon pieces,it is a great way to use up scraps...this is also the first time I used the chip board from my Art Philosophy kit, they work nice but they add a lot of weight to this small card.
hexagons are 1 1/8 inch

3 more with Elegant Edges

good morning to all, we are getting some much needed rain here in Central WI  not expecting much, but we will take what the Good Lord will give us.

EE pg 54  with the train from B is for boy

 EE pg 52   pig from country life

 EE pg 65 bird from Art Philosophy

well this will be it with this type of card for awhile, time to move.
I hope that you enjoyed looking at these as much as I had making them.

look what Elegant Edges can make (4 cards)

good morning to all,  while looking through my Elegant Edges hand book, I wondered what the "book"  key would make, so I brought one up on my design studio to give it a try....WOW!  I really love the way these turned out... all are 5 inches in height and will fit nicely into a 5 1/2 inch square envelope.
the snowman was the 2nd card I made, I wanted to catch your eye so you might come and see the other 3...
I wanted to see  what the little swirl would look like in the snow, I added the negative  for a wind blowing effect.
 EE pg 25 in hand book and I put him on a wobble and cuttlebug for the snow

                                     EE pg. 29, SYI for the tree

                                   EE pg. 47  AE snowflake

 EE pg 22 Indie Art for the butterfly, this was the first one I made, going to my  s-i-l for her bd

I could not believe how fast and easy these all went together, all made yesterday and on my Design Studio
each  card has 3 layers of EE 1/8 to 1/4 inch smaller than the first, the snowman white layer I tore for the snow on the ground look.

for my nephews

I  have nephews born on the same day, 9 years apart,   go figure!!!    I saw this type of card years ago a gave it a try,,,

went together fast and easy...

 I deleted all the cut marks with my design studio, but after taking a closer look at Donna's, she left them on.

bottle of bubbles

Hi all, Remember blowing bubbles when you were a kid? I still love to with the grand kids!
I found something like this over at bugbites , she had one made from something else and I thought I would put one together with my design studio, George, indie art and don juan....
I think it turned out quit well.... and I did save it because it took awhile to figure it out...hope you like..
lots of inking and pop dotted behind bottle

Birthday Sundaes Challenge #26 - Criss Cross Birthday Card

This week our challenge is to make a criss cross birthday card. 

this is for my niece who will be turning 33, WOW the years really add up!
I started with DS and welded WW frame to a 12 inch piece of paper and scored at 4 and 8 after centering it.
I have a create so it ended up a little  less than 12"...... the size of the card is 4" x 5"

next time I would use brighter colors
