Thank You card using AP Cartridge & Coordinating Stamps

Here is the second swap project that I completed yesterday.  Again, I made 10 of these babies!  This card was created using my CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge.  I just can't seem to get enough of that particular cartridge at the moment.... it is my FAVORITE!  The possibilities with it are absolutely ENDLESS!  I may have to give it a little break, but we'll just have to see!  Along with the AP cartridge, I used another one of my favorites from the current CTMH Autumn/Winter Idea Book.... the 'Sanoma' papers.  I love the colors, the design of the papers, I LOVE everything about them and you will probably be seeing many more projects by me featuring these particular papers!  Well, I hope that you all have a FaBuLoUs Thursday... only one more day until the weekend!  Enjoy!

New Swap Card (Patriotic)

Happy Wednesday Everyone!  I have spend the last couple of days trying to catch up with a couple of swaps that are do to go out.  The one shown below is a '4th of July' card that I made for one of the swaps. I believe that this may actually be my very first patriotic card that I made (I actually made 10 of these) and really had a great time with it.  Wasn't too sure about the bling on it, but I think it works.  For this card I used CTMH's 'Elemental' papers along with the 'American Celebration' stamp set.  Hope you all enjoy!

Masculine Anniversary Card

Sure hope this finds everyone having a FABULOUS Saturday/weekend so far!  I am having a GREAT weekend thanks to the Tigers winning the other night and giving the Rangers a home field advantage, so that the hubby and I can go enjoy a nice night at the Rangers stadium!  So, to surprise him for our 13th anniversary, which he missed because he was away for work, I created the card below which had an interior pocket (which I forgot to photograph) to house his TX Rangers game ticket!  I am sooooo excited to be celebrating our anniversary this way!

The card was created using CTMH's 'Dreamin' papers.  I love these papers because they work perfect for masculine cards and scrapbook pages.  Hope you enjoy the card below... I am now off to get ready for the game!  Have a great rest of the weekend!

Simple Halloween Mini Slider Cards & Door Hangers

With Halloween just around the corner, I decided to whip up a couple of simple but adorable projects!  I will also be offering these two items at an upcoming vendor show.  The first is a door hanger.  I created the door hanger using my Cricut 'Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More' cartridge along with CTMH's new 'Mischief' papers (X7144B) and CTMH's 'All Hallows Eve' (C1462) stamp set.  For the goo at the bottom I used a Martha Stewart Punch and the "BOO" was also cut using my Cricut.  The slider card is probably one of my favorites!  For this project I simply used solid color cardstock and stamped the background with CTMH's August SOTM 'Wicked' and the "Happy Halloween" with the 'Say It In Style' (D1283) stamp set.  Hope you all enjoy and have a FABULOUS Thursday!

I have been able to sneak some crafty time in here and there!  Below you will find a few items that I have been working on for my vendor shows.  Enjoy and stay tuned for details on my newest GiVeAwAy!
