Some Bunny Love

Hi to all my bloggie friends.  I had so much fun making this card. The cart. is Winter Woodland which I won around Christmas time in a Blog Hop.  I'm sorry I am unable to remember right now what blogger I won with.  I embossed the background with Divine Swirl and Cuttlebug. I added a heart brad for the eye and inked around the edges with Cat's Eye purple chalk ink.  The story behind the button I used for the tail is quite sweet.  I was out one summer day with my grand daughter and she found the button.  She really liked it and wanted to keep it. I washed it out when we returned home and gave it back to her.  She decided she wanted to give it to me for crafting, so I put it in my button jar in front of her which put a big smile on her face.  Finally, here is the project I decided it was perfect for and I will be giving her the card for Easter.  I am sure it will put another big smile on her face.  In turn it will put a huge smile on me.  Have a blessed day.

Sending You Sunshine

I am pre-posting the same card because of an issue with my blog. while editing it erased and now I have to do everything all over.  I used my brand new cart. Kate's ABC's.  Just love it . It has so many beautiful, cute cuts.  I added some borders using MS flower punch from my stash, along with buttons, Studio G glitter glue and Hero Art stamp sentiment.  I followed the Sketh from The Craft's Meow. I finished it off with a flower embossing folder from Sizzex on my Cuttlebug.  Sorry for all the confusion and thanks for dropping by.

Breakfast in Bed


I am back with a special Mother's Day card.  I once did a similar card Pre-Cricut, based on my ideas and some 3D stickers I had.  The original one was much simpler.  Since I have learned so much with all of you wonderfully talented friends, I bumped it up a bit adding embossing with Cuttlebug, stitching(faux and real), inking with Studio G brown, metal buttons & lace(Misty/TB Treasurista), flowers(can't remember cart. used), and flower punch from MS. For the egg I used Glitter cardstock from DCWV.  The flourish on the cup is from Sizzex I've had brand new for a while and decided to finally use it.  I finished it with an old vase and tiny flower stickers.  I used scrap paper for the entire card.  Thanks for dropping by to enjoy my work.

Flowers, For You

It was such pleasant weather this weekend here in NY.  It was a great change from rain and clouds.  It was so wonderful to see the sun shining.  Now on to my card. I used Create a Critter and MS Seasonal carts. for this Spring card.  I added some gems from my stash and hand cut the tree.  I finished it with some inking with Studio G brown and green. Have a great week.

Go Fly A Kite


Hi all my bloggie friends.  Hope you have been having a great weekend.  I just love learning  and making different style cards and one of my faves is the easel card.  Here I made one with Spring in mind, using Create a Critter cart.  The flowers are a combination of a small gift by a friend and an old McGill punch. I used some gems, ribbon and Studio G green glitter from my stash.  The butterfly(Misty/MB Treasurista) and smiley face(Recollections) are new.  I had so much fun making this card.  Thanks for coming by.

Boyz To Men


Hi everyone. I am here with a simple boy/man card. I used Create a Critter cart. for the white background layer and black frame. The rest of the card was hand cut with MS paper trimmer.   The card was embossed with Cuttlebug Circles and Dots folder.  The Silhouette is from Scrapbook Etc.  From my stash I added some dollar buttons and some twine I received from Misty @ MB Treasurista.  I finished it with a Hero Art Stamp and metal brads.  As many of you know and have experienced, these are sometimes the difficult cards to make. Thanks for joining me.

Get Well Soon

This was one of my very 1st cards I made and it is not an original idea.  I scrap lifted it, and just don't  remember from where.  I hand cut the bear and bed. The heart is from a mini punch. I used a black gel pen for the face. I originally started with the Baby Bug, so I used the George Basic shapes for the sentiment and I think the banner was from my 1st purchased cart., April Showers.  I had put the card away and forgot all about it.  I think it turned out great for a beginner.  Have a Blessed day and be well.
