Camping Critters

Good morning all..wow, two mornings in a row I post..been a while.lol.  Last night I dug out the Camping Critters cartridge and had a little fun.  I decided to make a side step card, I had not made one in a while and I like them.  The size of the card stok before cut and scored it 9x8 inches.

On the 8 inch side I Cut the cardstock with my paper trimmer one inch in down to the 7 inch mark and then took the paper and scored it at 1, 2, 3 1/2 , 5 and 7 inches and then on the other side of the cut paper I scored and 4 and 1/2.. Then do your mountain valley fold.

I then cut out all the pieces for the cards with cricut set at 4 inches, used Close to my Heart inks and stamps.  Core'dinations, DCWV and CTMH papers, Atg gun, Xyron Create a sticker for small parts, Bo Bunny gems, flower punch, gel pens and some wooden fern embellishments.  Hope you like my post today..have a great day.

Christmas Girl

Happy Thursday everyone.  Did you all make it through the Holidays ok?  I know my Christmas was Wonderful!!  I love having my children all together at home.  Having the grandchildren there too is a fabulous bonus!!   Love them to pieces.   

Well today is my day to post for Jen's Digi stamps. I just love her stamps, so so cute :)  Today, even though it is not Christmas and it has passed us by, I still wanted to do a Holiday image, so I chose "Christmas Girl".  You can purchase her here.  I hate to see the Holidays end.

I used pink Core'dinations card stock for the base, for this Center Step card.  I started with a 5 and 1/2 by 11 card base.   Measured one inch in on both sides of the card and then cut from the one inch mark to the 6 and 1/2 inch mark..... Scored at 5 and 1/2 inches in between the cut lines and then scored at 1" and 2" and then 6 and 1/2".  Mountain valley fold and there is your center step card.

You can see the tutorial at SplitCoast Stampers here.

I used the red Stickles for her ear rings.

Birthday card

Good morning friends.  What a nice day it is gong to be!  No humidity, sun shining,birds singing, it is wonderful!  Yesterday was hot and HUMID, great day to stay in and make a card, so that is what I did.   It was a quick simple card, made with DCWV Sweet stack.   I had a hankering for a card made with pinks and browns and so this is the color theme of the day.  I love the Sweet Stack.

I love the pink and brown together:)

I used Core'dinations card stock for the base and then cut the mat with Colonial white. I also used Martha Stewart's doily border punch to make a border at the bottom.  To embellish it I had some BO Bunny gems, and the sentiment was from a small sentiment stamp set I got at Michaels.  The circle and scalloped circle were cut with the Cricut using Art Philosophy Cartridge and the ribbon was leftover from my stash of ribbons. The card is all held together with my ATG gun and some pop dots between the layers of the circles, and Fabritac for ribbon.

Hope you liked the card,come on back tomorrow for some more creativity,
