Valentine's Day Cards

I made a few simple Valentine's Day cards this weekend.  I had a million ideas and could have continued making them all weekend.  Since the cards were made for someone else, I didn't really embellish them the way I would have if they were mine.  I tried to make simple cards that would appeal to anyone.

Here are a few of them.  I'll post the rest tomorrow.  Enjoy!

Hugs, Paula

Piece of Cake!

I haven't posted in so long.  Between the holidays and birthdays and all the snow we've had here, I really have not had too much time to do any crafting.  Well I'm happy to report that I've been reorganizing my craft room and I've begun working on some new projects.  Today I'd like to share a project that I've been wanting to try for a while.  When I purchased my Gypsy I received the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More Cricut cartridge which I always wanted, but never got around to purchasing -- then it was retired.  There are so many fun things on this cartridge, and one of them is a box that looks like a slice of cake.  For my SIL's birthday, I decided to try to make one of the boxes and decorate it as a little extra something to go along with her gift.  I filled it with her favorite candy, and I hope she likes it.  Below is a picture of the cake slice that I made.  I decorated it to look like a yellow cake with chocolate frosting.  I used a swirl embossing folder on the "frosting" of the cake and then I flocked it.  For the middle layer of frosting I used flocking also.  I decorated it with flowers with brown centers, kind of like sunflowers which happen to be her favorite.  I also made a coordinating card.  Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think.  Thanks for coming by.

A Second Baby Gift

There have been so many babies born in my husband's family lately.  I'm trying to get caught up with gifts, so this is the second Diaper Bag with Mini Album I made.  This one was done with yellows and pinks.  The patterned paper on the diaper bag is Martha Stewart paper.  For this one I added some extra embellishments and on the inside of the mini album in addition to the pull out tags, I added two accordion folded pieces that can be used to add more photos.  I hope you enjoy what I've created.  Leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

Baby Gift Project

Hi everyone!  Today I'd like to share a project I made that was inspired by the fabulously talented Kathy at Paper Phenomenon.  She does some amazing things! The "Diaper Bag" was created using the Cricut Doodle Charms Cartridge. The bear is from the same cartridge.  I cut the letters for the name from Plantin Schoolbook and the scalloped squares are cut using A Child's Year.  The mini album is my first attempt at making one.  I kept the pages pretty plain to really focus on the pictures the recipient would add, not the embellishments.  The papers I used on the diaper bag and in the mini album that goes inside are from K & Company, Bazzill, and Colorbok.  I hope you enjoy my project.  I'm also working on another version using shades of yellows and in that mini album, I added a few extras.  Once it is complete I'll post pictures!  Leave me a comment and let me know what you think.  Thanks for stopping by.

Doily Birthday Card

TGIF!!!  I'm so happy it's the weekend.  Today I'm attaching the picture of the doily birthday card I made for my SIL.  I hope she likes it.  I chose an unusual paper for the card - a hounds tooth pattern.  My SIL loves plaids and I couldn't find any plaid pattern paper. All I could find was the hounds tooth.  I think it is kind of fun.  Just like the thank you card I made earlier, I cut the doily card from the Cricut Wild Card cartridge at 5" inches, same for the matching envelope.  I used the blackout feature to line the inside of the card.  The Happy Birthday sentiment is from A Child's Year Cricut cartridge cut at 1 3/4 inches. 



Thanks for looking at my work.  If you like it, please leave me a comment. 

Have a great weekend!

Wedding Card

Today I'd like to share with you a wedding card I made for my niece.  This is a gatefold card I made using black cardstock from Walmart.  It is very inexpensive and I love it.  I used my Love Struck Cricut Cartridge for the hearts.  I cut the heart background and the floral cut out heart on top at 5 inches.  The background is white Bazzil Cardstock and the paper for the floral top part is an off-white glittered paper from DCWV.  The pearl embellishments are from Michaels.  The love bird embellishments are from Jolees.



I'm sorry the picture isn't that great, but you get the idea.  I'd love it if you'd leave me a comment and let me know what you think of my work.  Thanks and have a great day!
