Weddings and birthdays...oh my!

The following cards were also designed for the card sets that will be given away this weekend. The wedding cards match the colors of the wedding, in hopes that the winners will give them to the bride and groom.

I used doodlecharms cart, as well as the sweetheart cart. Rhinestones, ribbon and stamps were added for embellishments. I've really enjoyed playing around with shadow cuts. I think they really highlight the final product.

Card Series: Welcome Baby

The cards shown below will also be added to the thank you cards, as part of the gift sets given at the shower this weekend. Each set will have a thank you, birthday, baby, and wedding card.

These are the baby cards that I came up. I used my doodlecharm cartridge. (I don't know what I would do without it!) I also added raffia and rhinestones for some fun embellishments. The stamp, from Stampin' Up, reads "welcome baby".

Card Series: You're Too Sweet

Yay! I'm back. I had the whole afternoon to craft away. And it was fabulous. I'm putting together sets of cards, which will be given away as a prize at a shower. A lucky winner will get to take them home.

This is a series of thank you cards. They went together really easy. I used my favorite cartridge Doodlecharms to create each of the "sweet" items. I also used a variety of stamps, and a ribbon accent.

Enjoy!

Assorted Card Sets

I made the following cards for 3 different sets of 4 cards, that are going to be prizes at a bridal shower. Each set has a birthday, thank you, baby, and wedding card.

Ice cream & babies...

I had an unexpected free night last night. So of course I did any time I have unexpected free time...CRAFT! The baby shower card is for a friend, but the "just because" card was just a whim. It came together really nicely.

'Just Because' Card
I used Martha Stewart paper, as well as a Martha Stewart trim punch. I used my Stretch Your Imagination cartridge for the ice cream cone. I was feeling a little springy last night. Must be all the sunshine!



Baby Shower Card
I used the Doodlecharm cartridge for the bottle, as well as the tags, bags and more cartridge for the circles.

Happy Healing!

I made these cards for my boss, and my grandmother. They are each recovering from surgery. I liked how the first one turned out, so I made the second as a variation off of the same idea.

I used the wild cards cartridge, as well as tags cartridge. Of course I added buttons, and used a flower stamp to add a little extra something.

13th Birthday

My niece is going to be 13 this month, so I figured that she deserved an extra special card. It's not every day that you become a teenager. :)

I used the Doodlecharm cartridge, as well as the Don Juan cartridge. The cupcake, as well as the 13 are mounted with foam squares to add some depth. The cupcake is decorated with a variety of different buttons and rhinestones, as well as a glitter paper flame atop the candle. I used a cupcake stamp, as well as a 'wish big' stamp from Stampin' Up. A lavender ribbon, as well as lavender rhinestones were added to pull the purple throughout. I was really happy with how it turned out.

1st Birthday Boy Card

I forgot to post this card. I made it for my nephew's 1st birthday. It went with the scrapbook that I made him, and of course had to match the colors of the party! :)

I also used the doodlecharm cartridge for the cupcake, which is one of my favorite carts right now! The mini cupcakes and 'wish big'are both Stampin'Up stamps.

Baby Card

One of my friends asked me to make a baby card for one of her friends. The pictures are a little misleading, because the yellow isn't that bright. It's actually a pastel yellow.

Elijah's Scrapbook

So I had the brilliant idea to make Elijah a scrapbook for his birthday present. His part was this past Sunday, so when did I start making it? Saturday at 4:00 of course! I did a lot of crafting on Saturday, but was able to get it done on time!

On the cover I wrote a poem about turning 1.


Some other spreads from the book! :)









The end of the book contained sheets the people could sign, and I kept a sheet for his big sister to draw him a picture.



A little signature on the back cover. :)

1st Birthday Thank You Cards

I created this thank you card to match the invitations I made for my nephew's first birthday party. I learned a valuable lesson with this one. Don't design a card with 5 buttons on it, especially when you're making 16 cards. It's hard to find that many buttons @ one store! :)

Valentine's Day cards for my hubby and my friends.

I made the following two cards for Valentine's Day. One is for my husband, and the other for a friend. They went together really easily. I hadn't ever done a square card before, but I really liked the size and how easily it was to lay out.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
