Cricut Shaker Card

I made this fall card with a Cricut and a Big Shot. I cut out the folded card base using the 3 1/2 inch circle original Sizzix die and the light brown with the Cricut. 

Shaker cards are not real hard to make. Especially if you can find the clear popped up circles to put the shaker elements in. 

Happy stamping!

New Baby Girl Congratulations Card

This is a cute shaped card. Put the top shoulders on the seam and leave them intact. Cut or punch a hole for the neck, cut and shape the rest of the card front. I covered the front of a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inch card with printed paper before I cut the card out. I cut a pocket, attached it to the little dress, punched a heart out and adhered it to the pocket. Finally I punched small holes in the shoulders and tied ribbon loosely through them and into bows.

Treasures from the Sea card

I used a Cuttlebug to emboss the card front and to cut out the sea shells at the bottom of the card. The other sea shells are stamped and colored with color pencils and the colors are blended with a pencil blender. I like shells, ocean, and marine subjects and this is a favorite card. The background is embossed with a birthday folder and would be a perfect card for a man.

This card is made with two parts. There is a sleeve and a tag that goes in the sleeve. The tag has a ribbon threaded through the hole in the tab and through the hole in the sleeve. It allows the tag to slide out but not completely come out of the sleeve. The ladies in class loved making this card. It is fun but not complicated.

I like this stamp. It is an all-in-one stamp. It makes a good masculine birthday card. I stamped this one on craft paper and then  used chalks  to color it in. I used some white on the background around the main image but I left it very light and streaky instead of trying to fill the background with color. I like how it turned out. On the inside I stamped a birthday sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by today!
