Friday night cards




Hi crafters, I just wanted to post a couple cards I quickly put together for a craft fair I went to today. I have a bucket of assorted dimensional stickers from K&co and a discount shop here in town, that I went through and picked out some Hydrangeas and some tropical flowers.  I also pulled out some DCWV paper and some paper from the dicsount shop and ribbon from Michaels.  I used my Cricut to punch some circles out and then I used a 1 and 3/4 circle punch and cut holes in the circles and the card to give the card some depth with the windows.  Added thank you and Make a wish stamps with black ink and there ya go.  Hope you like it, and reminder, I am a new Close To My Heart consultant and would be happy to help you out and if you would like to place an order please go to the button on my blog and it will take you to my website and catalog, and if you would like to be a consultant and work with a great company and some fabulous product, you can do that there too,  Happy crafting~~ cathy

It's a girl!!


It's a girl... and no, I did not have a baby,lol.  I created a card today with another tear bear critter Emma Elephant with supplies from The Beary Scrap. I used the Cricut Alphabet cartridge for the baby bottle and the  printed card stock is from Nana's Nursery Baby girl stack from DCWV.  The It's a girl stamp is from the dollar bin at Michael"s and the rhinestone and buttons from my assorted stash.  I used chalk to add dimension to my Elephant and black micron pen.  The pink ribbon I got from Walmart and of course I used ATG gun and mini glue dots.

I hope you like today's project...Happy crafting~~ Cathy
  P.S. I am going to be a Close to MY Heart Consultant...YAY  if you need anything please let me know!

Happy Easter Hilda Hippo


   Hello my crafty friends, did everyone have a great weekend??  I know I did, I got to make a few cards and that is always a fun thing.  I got to make a few Easter cards and I had an order for 10 Thank you cards.  I was lucky enough to get most of them done.

   The card I have to show you this evening is one I made with one of the Tear Bear Critters, named Hilda Hippo.  I get my patterns from the Beary Scrap.  She is made with hand made Mulberry paper that is very fibrous and makes cute little furry friends to on my cards.  After I put her together, I put together a card made with DCWV papers, I believe the paper is from the  Blossoms and Butterflies stack .  I used The Create a Critter Cricut cartridge for the basket cut, a small punch for the eggs,Cricut Alphabet cartridge, ribbon and my atg gun.

     I hope you enjoyed the card today:)))
   
     Happy Crafting~~  cathy
