Flower cards made with Imagine

Flowers with crystal centers

 Flowers with Peachy Keen faces

I used 3 different techniques for the centers of these flowers.  I put crystals in the middle of the top ones, used Peachy Keen face stamps for the center ones and used small pompoms for the bottom ones.  I printed everything from the Imagine cartridge Blossom, this seems to be my favorite one!! I think I made a total of 15 of these cards, once I started cutting I just couldn't stop, it was so much fun!!  I have to find something to do with all of the cards I have made, now have about 130 cards total!!  Crafting nut, that is what my husband calls me.  I am loving the Imagine, it just makes crafting that much better.  Thanks for stopping by, enjoy!!

Flower Cards

These cards were made with embossing, no cricut for these!!  I used two cuttlebug folders and a Martha Stewart punch for the edges.  I love the polka dot ribbon on these.  I used chalk ink to color the embossed, it is fast to do and I love the effects.  Thanks for visiting.  Enjoy!!

Animal Train Card

This is a card I saw on the following link to Creative Time.  http://www.creativetimeforme.com/2010/12/my-favorite-top-10-cards-of-2010.html   I did a few things different from the original, added 2 giraffes a small and a large one.  The larger one I glued to the inside of the front of the card and the little one to the back of the card.  I cut another lion in white and glued to the inside of the card to be able to write on it.  Cartridges used:  Create a Critter and George and Basic Shapes.  The eyes on the lion are from Peachy Keen Stamps, the sentiment is from Pink by Design, both links are in the post below.  I cut the wheels using the circle on the Imagine, 1" and 0.75" and layered 4 together and then used Glossy Accents, put brads in middle and pop dots to attach them.  Thanks to Creative Time for the great idea.  Thanks for looking.  Have a great day!!



Balloon Tags and Cards

I saw one of these tags on another blogspot and just had to make some of my own!!  The bottom two pictures show cards and tags from the original design I saw and the top two are ones I designed with the same idea.  They were so fun to make I just kept cutting them out ad ended up with 10 tags and 3 cards.  The cartridges used are George and Basic Shapes, Once Upon a Princess and Tags, Bags, Boxes and More and Sesame Street - Elmo's Party.  The tag is 4.75 inches, the balloon were welded onto the sides of the tag before cutting, this was done on the Gypsy.  I used some pretty light cardstock for the balloons so I cut two layers and then pop dotted them onto the tags and cards.  On some of them I added brads to the little tag that has the message, this design is from the Imagine built in images and is cut at 1.3" in white and inked around the edges.  I added eyelets at the top for the ribbon to add strength so that the paper would not tear.  The stamps are from Pink by Design for 'Birthdays Rock' ALL GIRL packet, Creative Time for 'Happy Happy Birthday' and 'Wish Big,'  WOW! SO MANY CANDLES packet, the faces for the balloons are from Peachy Keen Stamps, I used several different packets for these (trying to collect all the stamp faces, they are SO CUTE and stamp out so nice).  The background is embossed with Cuttlebug 'Happy Birthday' folder using my Cuttlebug.  Thanks for looking!!

Got a little carried away, these were so fun that I just kept making them.  It is fun picking out the colors and the faces!

Aren't those faces FUN!!  I love Peachy Keen face stamps.

These are the first tags that I made after seeing the design on another blogspot, did a few things different than the original design.

These are some cards that I made using the same designs as the tags, just welded together two of the bases using the Gypsy.  You could make a tag and card to match, would be the hit of the party!!  Thanks for looking.

Buccaneer Birthday Cards

The cards were so fun to make.  I used the Buccaneer Imagine cartridge.  The backgrounds are from the same cartridge.  I like the small ships on the cards, I also added small images from the same cartridge on the insides of the cards.  All the buccaneers are pop dotted out and little bits of bling added here and there.  You can also use this idea for invitations to a pirate party, little boys would love it! 

Thanks for looking. :)

SUMMER GIFT CARDS

Set of notecards, 3 inches square, with graphics from PC Crafter.  These make great little gift cards for summer presents or give the whole box of cards as a gift.

This is the inside of the box that I made for the notecards, used another graphic for the inside of the box. I made an envelope for each card, then embossed them.  They turned out so CUTE!!

In the middle of the picture is the front of the box, all together this is a nice little gift for a friend or co-worker.  Or make a set for yourself, I just haven't been able to give this set away or use it, it is too darn cute!

Thanks for looking. :)

Cow's It Going Card

I love this little card.  All the punches used are from Martha Stewart, around the flowerette (which I scored using MS score boared), the butterfly, and the top of the bottom layer of cardstock. The cow is a craft button, the back fits perfect into the flowerette. The stamp worked out perfect for this card, can't remember which set it is from.  The bling is Stickles.  Hope you enjoy looking, thanks for coming. :)
