2 baby cards

Hi all, over at Cardz tv Mary has a baby card challenge going on, since my nephew and his wife are expecting in Oct. I thought I would make 2 one each! they don't know the sex of the baby yet, so I did both...
 there is also a challenge over at Diva Dare...Do the Polka March Diva Dare
 so I will try to link to both...

birthday card

good morning once again,  I was able to go and see Kelly's card now that my comp. is up and running now, and wow, was I way off. so I sat down and looked thru more cartridges and came up with this....
see Kelly's at
http://kreativekornerbykelly.blogspot.com/2014/02/a-couple-of-birthday-and-few-valentines.html
mine turned out square and her looks like a 5.5 x 4.25     Will try that size next to see if I can get it down in size.  next time I will have to remember to finish the inside before I put the flowers on, they got in the way being bulky.

ann. for D &D

good morning to all,  this is my second attempted at Kelly's card before my 3rd which I will post next on this shaped card...I cut this down a bit to center it better,

anniversary for in-laws

good morning to all, I saw this shaped card over at

http://kreativekornerbykelly.blogspot.com/2014/02/a-couple-of-birthday-and-few-valentines.html

I had not seen it for awhile and had to wing it because my comp. was down yesterday.
 The idea was right but Kelly's is more elegant than mine will ever be.

for Judy

I have a lot of bd coming and just need to get them done, this is for my girl friend, I try to make something that reminds me of her, and she likes to bake.

started as a anniversary card

Once again, the heat wave kept me from finishing a card and I wanted to see what it would look like with this rose,  I used 2 shades of red and inked the edges with white.. and curled up the edges.
I think there are 6 layers of red and 2 of the green

Hello....

More note cards,,,, I normally finish the inside of the card, but I have decided not to, reason  there is more room now for someone to write in it, ....

12 of these!!!!

My craft spot challenge # 25

Hi all, I made a quick thank you card for Sarah and Jason for letting me stay for 10 days, it was great to meet Eli.
this is the first time I used Serenade and I love this tree, I sprayed the tree with smooch spritz that I found at Hobby lobby while on my visit.  the tree was cut @ 4 1/4 inches

Lorraine's Anniversary card "56"

Hi all, today  I was helping out a new person to the cricut world, not that I am an expert or anything like that, but I am the only person Lorraine knows who own one...so I was glad to help, I have called her mom in bible study so I'm sure that is one reason she felt comfortable to ask for help. So we made a card for her daughter, a good friend, for her birthday coming up.   and I didn't get a picture of it....dang.... but I did get to make this one for Lorraine's ann. comeing up...   I found this layout on Paper in the works blog. I really love her work and don't get anywhere near the detailing but I try.... she will also sew, cut by hand and does a lot of coloring and inking, not sure if she makes her own layouts, but they are great!  here are the measurement on mine
brown layer,  5 1/4 x 5 1/4 .....patterned paper,   5 1/8 x 5 1/8
tall 1st layer brown,  2 1/2 x 4 1/4   patterned paper.....2/3/8 x 4 1/8
center layer   brown  3 1/4 x 4 1/2    patterned    3 1/8 x 4 3/8
long strip  brown 1 1/8 x 5 1/4   patterned     1 x 5 1/8
very center brown   2 5/8 square   patterned    2 1/2 square
the rose is from cricut 50 states @ 2 1/8" in blackout base and shift flower
I also used a corner punch, ink, MS pearls and a fisker punch on the inside for fun!

                                                                  the inside

Card for Cathy

Cathy was in a car accident and were asked to send cards from card makers
Wishing you well Cathy...
this card is from Cricut Songbirds, I was not happy to see all of the flowers had letters in them, why they did not leave some in blackout is beyond my understanding, but I figured a way around it....layer, if you like the flower and not the letters inside do what I did
from songbird flower and flower top shift W @ 3 1/2 inches...this is one more thing I cannot figure out, the flower ended up to be 5 3/4 inches, way bigger than I thought it would be. so glad I did not make the card first.
then I layered the flower tops at 3, 2 3/4, 2 1/2, 2 1/4, 2 inches
for the very center I cut shift 8 at 1 3/4 inches and added stickles to the center.
also have MS butterfly punch   paper is from The Paper Studio Serendipity

crafty creations challenge #53

crafty creations challenge #53

this weeks challenge is to use "wings" on your project!

I wanted to do something a bit different since when I think of wings, I think of butterflies, so I went to 50 states
and found this loon.....
 50 states   loon cut @ 1"
 cricut sampler trees @ 2 1/4"
 tore blue paper to make the water
 fiskers punch  sea pearls for the corners
Don Juan   DAD @ 3/4"
and DJ thinking of you @ 3/4" with the coffee cup cut off
brown inking also!

 

for those of you who are new to my blog,  this is how I do the inside of my cards for my family,

for years I have remodeled my sisters  stamped cards so that they can be reused instead of trashed.

(My parents are not keepers of anything) so I have decided to do this for every family member

they like getting a hand made card and also be able to send to a friend.

thanks for looking!
