Happy Thursday, everyone! Java Jen here from JAVA JEN CREATIONS and it's my turn to share here and over at SHE'S A SASSY LADY! As you know, if you read my post from last week, our Sethy turned 2 so I just had to make a few decorations to add to his party! I used the Art Philosophy, Boys Will Be Boys and Birthday Bash Cricut cartridges.
These are from Birthday Bash and are cut at 10.5".
The pennant shape is from Art Philosophy. The train and truck are from Boys Will Be Boys. I made the rosettes by hand using my scoreboard.
Some close-ups.
I made mini flags to put on the cake.
Our daughter-in-law made an adorable race track cake that was a big hit!
Here is the birthday boy eating one of his favorite treats: Watermelon! :-)
Ian, here from A Newbie Crafter, with a simple card for you featuring the Close to My Heart April Stamp of the Month. This card was another quick one that can be for anyone that's looking forward to the summer (it's right around the corner).
For this card, I took a A2 size and cut a piece of card stock at 4 1/8" by 5 1/4" from the Dotty for You pack. The next thing I did was cut a piece of Dotty for You card stock at 4"x 5 1/8". I added some Liquid Pearls to the front. The sun was stamped in Honey and Goldrush. The sentiment was stamped in Holiday Red. I think it turned out nice.
I think it turned out well! I hope you all enjoy it!
Hello everyone! This is Java Jen from JAVA JEN CREATIONS and I'm excited to share here today and over at SHE'S A SASSY LADY! It is a privilege, as always, Sheila! Thank you!
I made these magnetic learning boards for our two oldest grandsons for Christmas but have not had the chance to share them yet, so here they are:
I was so busy making these before Christmas that I didn't even take pictures as I was doing each step! Sorry! :-( At any rate, here is my "recipe":
Cricut Imagine Blast Off cartridge
Fabric fat quarters
Provo Craft Your Story laminating machine
button magnets
Mod Podge
Metal cookie sheet
I started by covering my cookie sheets with two different fat quarter pieces that I picked up at Joann's. Next, I printed and cut 2 of each letter, number and shape. I took one of each and glued them to my fabric-covered cookie sheet with Mod Podge, being sure to completely cover them. I took the next set and laminated them using my Your Story. After trimming them, I put a button magnet on the back of each and my magnet board is now complete! These are really quite easy to make! I'm hoping to do a more detailed post on my blog, at some point, to show all the fantastic details close-up.
Don't you just love this card? This is a little gift for a beautiful lady named Lisa. I really think Lisa will receive her gift the day that this post hits as I already dropped it in the mail! I was one of those that ran a little thing on face book saying that if you are one of the first five people to comment I will send you a crafty item in the next year! Well this is what I made Lisa and I also sent her a wonderful Close To My Heart stamp set. I just love the papers on this and all the glitter. The paper is from K and Company.
All you need to do is revamp the card that we made last week and crank it up a notch or two!.... Now go grab a cup of coffee and turn you Gypsy on and let's get to work. The video below will take you from design to completion and I just love it! I think I will have to make a set that says Sassy!
Now wasn't that easy? Remember the base of the card is only 4 inches high but with the addition of the letters it goes to 5.5 inches so it will fit perfectly in an A2 envelope.
This is all four of the cards together. I love the whole look of this card and all I did was pick a font that I like and a piece of art that I thought would compliment Lisa and it came together in no time at all.
These colors are just so yummy together and I just love the glitter paper, don't you? I get the paper at Joann's and it cuts like butter on my Expression.
Here is the inside of the card. I used a dauber and my Close To My Heart Lagoon Ink pad and inked around the edges and it really made the card look a lot nicer.... you know a finished look.
See how moving the I close to the L allowed for the dot to remain on the name. I love it!
The Forever Young cart is wonderful for girly cards and it is also easy to cut as they are silhouettes.
Well I hope you liked today's post.... I sure enjoyed making this card and spending time with you creating. It gets lonely in my craft room with out you! Thank you for your sweet sweet word of encouragement. Your comments continue to inspire me to share with you.
Ian, here, from A Newbie Crafter. Today I have a wedding card for a coworker that got married a little over a year ago. I know what you are thinking...man you are LATE! Well, this weekend she had her wedding reception so I was able to order something for her and her husband off their registry that shipped directly to them and made them this card for the reception. I used Art Philosophy to make the base and subsequent layers of the card. One thing I noticed was that the blue and yellow layers did not overlay onto the card as I thought they would. I had to drastically reduce their size to have it fit - and it didn't even fit perfectly. :(
I used the card on page 48. I also used the Pemberley paper pack to make the card. On the inside of the flower I used a scalloped circle punch and stamped the "best day ever" stamp on to that. That stamp is from CC1020 It's Your Day stamp set. I cut it out and pop dotted the scalloped circle onto the card. The card was cut out at 5.5" so it was a regular A2 sized card.
Hello everyone this is Nicole from Scraptastic Memories. I would love to have you stop over and visit my blog which you can find here.
Do you have a wedding or anniversary in your future? Close to my Heart has a great new stamp set called The Happy Couple which you can find the complete set here. I want to share a card we made recently at our March Creative Club using this stamp set and the For Always Paper Pack.
I used the Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge to cut the tags and then stamped the white tag using Whisper Ink for the flowers and then Black Ink for the sentiment.
The flower and pins are from the For Always Assortment.
Here is the inside of the card.
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a great weekend!
Good morning! Well I had a baby shower to go to so I designed a shape card on my Gypsy just for the occasion.... and you know I made 2 just so I would be ready for the next boy baby shower! Join me today from start to finish as I design the card, cut it, put it together and even make a matching envelope on the video below. I used my new We R Memory Keepers Envelope punch and I want to tell you I am in love! So easy. So go grab a cup of coffee get your Gypsy and let's get to work.
Now I know that was long but it had been so long since I visited with you I guess I just got a little chatty Kathy in me! LOL But you have to admit this is a very easy shape card and just as cute as can be. I think I will cut out a pink one too, just so I am ready!
Look how great the papers match and so wonderfully subtle.
Here is another close up and you can see a little more of the envelope here.
Here is the inside of the card and thanks to My Craft Spot's stamps set I have the perfect inside sentiment for the card.
I just love how nicely this card stands up too. Thank you for joining me today. I sure hope you enjoyed our little post and the you too get making some shape cards for all your occasions as they always seem to please the receiver as you just don't see these type of cards in the store.
Thank you for your sweet sweet words of encouragement. Your comments always inspire me to share with you! Have a blessed week.
