So, I have made a few things over the last several weeks. I just hadn't taken the time to update the blog. So, here it is! Are you ready... : )
Flip Card for the card exchange at work - this is one of my favorites stamp sets from Close to My Heart. It's called a sip. I stamped the cup and spoon images and cut them out. Embellished with glitter and added some brown floss to look like steam from the cup.
Card for a friend at work for her Grandparents 65th Wedding Anniversary - this was made using the Tie The Knot Cricut cartridge for the cake and cake stand. I then used a generic bell stamp and some silver glitter glue to accent the cake and bells. I had some old sticker numbers I used for the top of the cake and cut some candles from yellow paper free hand.
Birthday card for a friend at work - this card was made using the Furry Friends cricut cartridge for the littler girl and cat. I then used the the Cuttle Bug to emboss the Happy Birthday flag, cut it out and filled in the letters with a gel pen. Some glitter glue was added for embellishment along with a red/white ribbon. The background is a cupcake pattern from "The Sweet with Glitter" matstack from DCWV. If you haven't seen the matstacks they are great. I used them a lot as backgrounds for my cards. They add a little extra dimension and are the perfect size.
Another birthday card for a co-worker - this card was made using the Doodlecharms cricut cartridge to make the mailbox. I then used the Cuttle Bug again to emboss the "Celebrate" image. It didn't come out the best after adding the glitter, but it's ok. Two stamp sets from CTMH were used on this one. The balloon stamp from the Party Animal set and the Cherish the Day (retired) set to make the date ticket in the mailbox. I again used "The Sweet with Glitter" matstack as the background. As always, some glitter glue was added for extra "sparkle." (Just a quick reference to Albert from Bayou Billionaires LOL)
