Birthday Organizer

This is a folder made from a manila envelope.  All of the sentiments were printed from my computer. I used Birthday Bash and Celebrate with Flourish cricut cartridges.  This was made to go with these birthday cards, go here, here, here, here and here.  Obviously you can put any card in here, I just made these to match.

Happy birthday Card

It seems like I am always needing birthday cards...hence 14 grandkids!!  This was a super quick and easy card to make using the Birthday Bash cricut cartridge and some cut aparts from the designer paper.  The paper is from My Mind's Eye.  The sentiment is from my computer.  I made this card with my friend Sue, she has such a great eye for putting colors together, love her!

Shark Birthday Card - Repost

This is a repost, it was removed for publication in the March issue of the Cricut Magazine.

Challenge #58 My Craft Spot

Today is another challenge at My Craft Spot!  It is a birthday theme and must include a number.  I made this card for my little grandson Zach who will be turning 2 this month.  The paper is Echo Park splash, American Crafts and Stampin Up.  The twine and the sentiment stamps, Birthday wishes are from My Craft Spot.  The stamp background cutout is from elegant edges cut at 3.5" the shark is from Birthday Bash cut at 3.5" the tag at 1.5"  The number and shark fins are on one layer of foam tape.  The shark is on an action wobble, it is so cute, just hard to photograph.

Lion Card

I told you there would be more of the Create a Critter 2 projects!  The base for this card is cut from Birthday Bash at 4.5" the lion from Create a Critter 2 cut at 3".  All the edges are inked and the lion is put together with layers of foam tape.  I also cut and knotted small pieces of twine for his whiskers and attached with glue dots.

Happy Birthday!

I made this fun little card for my little grandson Tyler who just turned 2.  He is a sweet little boy and definitely a Grandma's boy, don't believe me, just ask him.
This idea came from the Cricut Magazine Birthdays, it was made by Roree Rumph.  She made it as a tag, so I changed it up a bit and made it a card.

 All the cuts are from Birthday Bash;
card 5.25"  2 tags welded together and hole removed
bear and wagon and all layers cut at 5"
paper and stickers are from Echo Park
The inside stamp is from My Craft Spot the Birthday Wishes stamp set

This never happens, but the stars were aligned just right for me today.  I had the same (except for the bear) papers and stickers she used and I didn't even go to the store, love that.

A Baby is a Gift from Heaven

This is for my first Design Team post over at My Craft Spot!  I love Kimberly's stamps, they stamp so clear and nice, you should give them a try.  I used the stamp set Inside & Out #2 for my sentiments and the twine is Lilac all from My Craft Spot.  Here are the details for the card, which is an A2 size.

I had so much fun making this! My daughter is pregnant and we find out next week if it's a boy or a girl, but everyone is thinking girl, so I made this just in case. The banner is from birthday bash cut at 3" the letters are from baby steps cut at 2", the onesie boxes are from TBBM2 cut at 9". The shoes are a Silhouette file. Everything is inked, the letters are on foam tape.

Family Card

The card base is from Birthday bash cut at 6.5", the tag is from that cart also cut at 1.25". The family is from Letter envy cut at 2.5" with all it's layers, all the edges are inked and it's on pop dots. I made this for the cricut circle challenge.

Celebrate!

As soon as I saw what the magazine challenge for the cricut circle was, this idea popped into my head. It's been done for awhile I was just waiting to post, I like to spread them out some. The challenge was a design challenge and I chose this one by Sue Neal, love her!!

letters .75" from Alphalicious

circle 3" george and basic shapes

scallop 4.5" mini monograms

presents 3.25" birthday bash (the octopus)

I designed this in my gypsy (tried in CCR, it was having a bad day) I welded the letters to the circle and sized everything to fit it. It is an A2 size card. The paper is DCWV the twine is from the twinery and the button is from Stampin Up.

Just My Luck

I've had the idea for this card for awhile now and after much trial and error I finally got it to come out half way decent. The base is from birthday bash at 4.5". The rainbow and pot are from simply charmed at 2.5". The sentiment is computer generated. I laid this all out in CCR so I could hide some cuts and weld a small piece onto the rainbow, since I wasn't cutting it with the gold.

I'm entering this in a few challenges;

Happy Birthday Baby Girl!

I made this from Birthday bash and used the cricut craft room to make it. It took a little longer than it would have with my gypsy but I wanted to give it a try. It was cut at 4", the paper is from American Crafts, the ribbon is Stampin up.

I can't believe that my baby is sixteen today! I know this is crazy and my kids will all laugh at me, but I am tearing up as I post this. We adopted this sweet little girl when she was 8 months old. This photo is after we had had her a month and fattened her up some. She is beautiful inside and out. Every single day I give thanks for her and the gift of being her mother.

Happy Sweet Sixteen Lexi! I love you!

Congratulations birthday card

This is an A2 size card made with Basic Grey paper. All the edges are inked and the party hat is popped up. This was made in a class by Sue.

Hippo Birthday Card

I made this card for my little granddaughter who is turning 2 on Friday. It is an A2 size card. The paper is Bo-bunny and Cosmo Cricket. The hippo was cut at 3" the balloon at 2.5" I can't remember what size the 2 was. The hooray was cut at 3". The inside sentiment was cut at 4". I added glossy accents to the balloon and used twine for the bows and string. I made a little skirt out of tulle and glued it down. The little black parts for the hippo's face were way to small so I used googlie eyes and a marker. Everything is popped up. I'm entering this in the challenge at CTO which is you must use a balloon.

Party On!

This fun card was another one from my class by Sue. The papers are Basic Grey, the sentiment is printed from the computer. The little monkey is hanging by his hand from the O, it is bent around the O and stuck down with a glue dot.

Make A Wish

I haven't posted much lately and I am sorry, this marathon training is taking it out of me. If I'm not running I'm thinking about and worrying about running. It will all be over soon the marathon is Oct. 1. I have been so worried that I won't be able to do it, but last Friday I ran 20 miles. I was slow but I did it and yes I was wiped out the rest of the day.

So on to the card, this was a fun and easy card to do. I made this in a class with Sue I've said it before and I'll say it again she is AWESOME!! The paper is Basic Grey, the sentiment from the computer.

The card base is from birthday bash cut at 5" the skunk is from create a critter cut at 3" the hearts are from George and I don't remember what size they are. The skunk head is on an action wobble, love those!! I got the idea for this card from Mel.

Party Hats

My little girl made these party hats for her Dad's birthday. She cut the hats from birthday bash at fit to page and then used SU punches for the circles and cupcakes. I may have to get her her own cricut soon. She is starting to think my machine is hers! Well she actually has a cake machine and loves it, she makes cute toppers for her cupcakes.
