Birthdays!

Finally, a new blog post! My SD card reader was acting up and I wasn't able to upload any new pictures until today (thanks Matt!). Anyway, there have been a few birthdays since the last time I posted, here are the cards that I made for the celebrants.

This card is for Chari. I had a really hard time with this card because all I knew was that it had to be a cupcake and have yellow and orange on it. I used a cupcake from the Sweet Treats cartridge and of course I had to add some "bling" (stickles) on it! :)

This birthday card was for Alondra, Matt's niece, she turned 1 in January :) I used Create a Critter for the bear. If you don't have Create a Critter yet, you need to go get it. There are so many images for different occasions and it's super easy to layer! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!! :) This card took a while for me to make because I wanted the roses to pop out a little more so I brushed the edges with and ink pad and also tried to curl the edges of each of the roses.

So, I'm not sure if she even got this card yet, but I'm going to post it anyway! lol Happy Birthday Joanne! I tried to make a macaroon but it ended up looking like a burger! So, I ended up making another cupcake :) 

I'll try and do another post in the next couple days. I'm excited to go to my first workshop with a Stampin' Up demonstrator on Monday! :) We're going to be making some cards so hopefully I can get a couple posted on here.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Sharing is Caring

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

A lot of friends and family have told me that I should make cards and other items so I can sell them, I really want too, but I have a couple problems.

1.  I don't have enough time to make a whole stock of things to sell
2.  Every time I make something give it away right away!

I guess for now I'll just have to take orders or something. I made a bunch of cards over the last couple weeks, here are some of them that I wanted to share. Enjoy!!

I love this monkey from Sugar and Spice. I embossed the background using the Swiss Dots folder and the ribbon is from Martha Stewart :)

I got the dolphin from Life's a Beach, I didn't have two shades of gray so to make one a little darker, I brushed my watermark ink pad over some of it. I used the same ink pad to stamp on the swirls in the background. I got the candy machine from the Sweethearts cartridge and embellished the card with some shimmery paper and buttons.

For the monkey I used the the Sweethearts cartridge and for the turtle I used the Life's a Beach cartridge. I didn't like that you couldn't really see the eyes and ears on the monkey so I outlined it with a white gel pen. I also didn't like that the turtle shell was so plain so I added some stickles to it.

I didn't have anything "golf" so I just used a circle from the Sweet Treats cartridge and used the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder and turned over the image. I also used a cupcake topper from the Cricut Lite Cupcake Wrappers cartridge. I got the giraffe from the Sugar and Spice cartridge and embellished the card a little with some buttons, ribbon, and stickles.
