Happy Birthday

I don't know if you are like me but it seems I never have enough guy cards. I almost always make cards for girls. You know flowers and things and pinks. So I just recently made a bunch of guy cards to have on hand and this fun card was one of them. It is hard to see but in the inside center is a gift card holder. The sentiments were computer generated and hand cut out. I made this from a file by my friend Sue Neal.

Birthday Dog Card and Box

Hi friends, I have a fun little card and box to share with you today. My little grandson has been begging me to get him a dog for his birthday. He would say it's okay my mom would have to let me keep it since it was a gift and on and on. Just begging and begging. It was so hard not to get him a dog, but I knew his mom didn't want to have to deal with one. So I made him this little dog shaped card and a dog house treat box. He loved it. He still wished it was real but he loved it.

The dog is a Lori Whitlock file and the dog house is from Sweet Afton both from the Silhouette store. I did change the box slightly, the bone was supposed to be cut out of the house but I released it and then made it larger and cut it out of white paper and put it above the door with pop dots.

Happy Birthday Box

I'm BACK!!!! Africa was amazing and I loved the people and the animals but I am so glad to be back home!!! I am trying to get back to a normal life, well as normal can be now with all the craziness in the world. Spending time with family and catching up on some much needed crafting.

I made this little box for my sweet daughter in law for her birthday. I used the window box thinlets dies from Stampin Up. It was super fast and easy to do and I just love the detail on the box.

Happy Birthday Dragon

So I am lucky to be the guest designer over at Die Cuttin Divas today, make sure to check them out here.  The theme for the day was dragon, I knew exactly what I wanted to use for it.  I just love this little guy!  He is from the Silhouette store from Doodlebug designs.  I added the hat from another file.  

Happy Birthday Lexi!!

So it is this little beauties birthday today!!  Where did the time go?  It seems that is was not that long ago and you were just 3!!

Have a wonderful day baby girl!

I love you!!

Present Treat Box

This cute little bag was also for our girls trip.  For more info on this go to this blog post here.  Or just scroll back a few posts.

This is from the Silhouette store and so super easy to make, remember I had to do easy because some of my girls (who shall remain nameless) are not as crafty as others.

I added foam dots to the light pink bow piece for added dimension.

Tackle Box Card

I made this fun box card for my hubby for his birthday, he loves to fish so I thought he would enjoy this.  It is a cut file from SVG Cuts called Sunday with Dad.  It is a bit of work with all the drawers and stuff in them but so worth it. 

Birthday Wishes

This is a pull out card...so super easy to make and fun!  This was made using the cricut and the sentiments are printed out.  I made this with my friend Sue.

You are the very best

Okay I don't think making a card can get much easier than this one...print and cut and you are done!  It is also from Cricut design space center.

Chibi Inner Tube Boy

This is a fun new cut file from SVG Cutting Files that will be in the store on Friday it is called Chibi Boy Inner Tube  and you can get him here.

 I love this little Chibi boy...hence 3 cards with him on them!  He goes together super fast and easy.  I printed out the paper and the sentiments for all these cards and then put the little boy on foam tape.  The face stamp is from PK. 

Happiest of birthday

I really love these bendy cards for a couple of reasons the dimension is awesome and they are  really easy to make and a surprise the the recipient.  I mean really how fun is it to open a card like this?!  The cuts for this are from my cricut and the sentiments are printed out.  I made this with my friend Sue Neal, she is so amazing and creative.

Unicorn Card

I made this card for my little  granddaughter Sophie for her birthday, she loved it by the way!  She actually squealed and squealed and hugged it.  It was so sweet and cute and so fun to see her open it in person.  I usually have to mail them to her but she and her family are living with me until they get into a house.  

This is a file from Lori Whitlock from the Silhouette store.  It comes with the sentiment also.

Birthday Card

I love cards that have a little unexpected element and this card definitely has that.  The typewriter pops up when you open the card.  I made this with my friend Sue, she made the typewriter svg.  All the sentiments were printed from my computer.

Bendy Arch Card

 This fun card was made with the new Bendy Arch Card Base from SVG Cutting Files, you can get it here.  It comes plain so you can put whatever you want on it.  It will fold flat to go into an envelope.  For mine I added the cute Birthday Owl and the balloons and celebrate came from the Party Time Celebrate file both from SVG Cutting Files.

Happy Birthday Card

Well first off I have to say happy birthday to my baby girl, she is 21 today.  (Man I am getting OLD!!!)

Happy Birthday Lexi!!

I love you!

This is the card I made for her, it is one of those flexi cards.  These cards are so fun to make and a bit of a wow factor when popped out.  

That is one of the slots that you put the side notch into to make it bend out.

To put it into an envelope you take the sides out of the slots and it lays completely flat and fits into an A2 envelope.

Hoot Hoot Hooray Birthday Card

I love owls I don't know why I just think they are so cute!  So I had to make this fun little card.  It is a LW file from the Silhouette store.   When you mail it you just pull the two layers out of the slots and it lays flat, perfect!!   I layered the owl together with foam tape to make him pop up some.  The fun sentiment is from the You're a hoot stamp set from Jaded Blossom.

Happy Birthday Tanner!

Today is this cute boys birthday.  Happy birthday Tanner!!  He is my oldest grandson and is now 13!! He is also several inches taller than me now...it happens I will probably be the shortest one in the family!

And now for my projects!

I have this super fun Cupcake Side Shaped Card, you can get it here.  It comes two ways with the back squared off or shaped like the front.  I put them on foam tape and some of the layers on foam tape.  The fun sentiment is from the new Jaded Blossom cake day stamp set and the inside sentiment is from the Invitations Galore stamp set.
On the last card I did it as a print and cut to show you how it would look.  I did print some of the layers separate to give it more dimension.  I love this for when you need something super quick.

This one is the print and cut
