When Pigs...and cows FLY

After being sick all week and not really doing anything be laying in bed and sleeping, I've been trying to get some play time in my craft room.  I pulled out a couple of images from QKR - Cow Fairy and Flying Pig.  I used one sentiment from Create With TLC and two that I created myself.  I cut the clouds using my Cricut.  I didn't feel the need to add anything else.

Fairy Love

This fun fold card and flowers was cut out using my Cricut, as was the Beautiful Fairy from Bugaboo.  There are actually FOUR LAYERS to this card, not counting the layers of cheese cloth.  I had someone ask me once how I keep this from rolling weird, I actually cut a flat part on the back side so it will sit flat.  I've added many flowers, gems and even sticky 'clay' flowers to the inside of the flowers on on the card.  The one and only sentiment "LOVE" is tiny and was actually made to be used as nail art, but forgot it at home when I went to my nail tech.  LOL

Refill My Glass

I seem to have fallen behind on my posts.  I've been sick in bed since Saturday night...here I am on day 5 of this terrible virus I seem to have caught...great diet plan since just the thought off food makes me feel icky.  LOL

This card was made for the Humor Me Wednesday post over at Catch The Bug.  I used an image called Frame It Red Wine.  What's cool about this image is that you can use it with or without the sentiment, so you can add your own if you wish.  February 24th was World Bartender Day - that is what this card is representing; hence the "refill my glass".  I added a little shimmer over the "wine" in the glass using a Shimmer Brush from CTMH.  I kept the card VERY CAS, no bows, gems or anything...just the image - that is the nice thing about these "Frame It" images.

This card was made for our New Release day over at Bugaboo, this is Baby Mouse Crawling. I used a wobble spring under her head (these are great for all of the bobblehead images Bugaboo has) so that way if you bump it it..well...wobbles!  The doily and the sentiment were cut out using the Cricut.  I added pearls and a bow to make it even more girly.

Lots of Hogs on your Birthday

I wanted to pull out a QKR image, it's been a while...  I decided on this fun one called Stack Of Pigs.  I used the sketch from Try Stampin' along with making it tall/skinny for Double Trouble's challenge, and they also wanted you to try stacking...hence the pigs (so I think I met all three of the Double Trouble's challenges for this card).

I used some fun Pink and gold designer paper, I had the circle already cut out that wasn't used on a previous project, thought the card needed a contrast, then I added a bow and some gems.  I also added some hearts I had from a different previous project that weren't used.  I created the sentiment that was used inside.

Lil' Love

Today's Freebie Friday over at Bugaboo is a-dor-able!!  You do not want to miss this one!!  I used the die frame, cut her out using an oval die, used an edge punch for the pink edges, and used my Cricut for the Love iron-on...yep, you read that correctly, I ironed on the sentiment.

Fish Tank Birthday

The progressive challenge image for Limited Runs Designs is this fun fish.  I had all of these big plans for this one, sadly, due to having a cheap printer, I wasn't able to do what I wanted to...  I decided to make some fun colorful fish and cut them out using my Cricut machine.  The fish bowl, the anchor, other fish and plants and the birthday sentiment were also cut out using the Cricut.  I added ribbon and some pearls just to top it all off.

Wine Improves With Age

This fortnight over at Incy Wincy designs Challenge the theme is Anything Goes.  We have two sponsors, this image is from a set at Jan's Digi Stamps called Wine With Friends.  This was one of those sets I saw and simply had to have!  Too fun!  I used loads of glittery paper, some gems, and some Glossy Accents - this is one shiny card!  LOL  I used the wine bottle, glass, corks, sentiment and the ladies from the set.

Well Wishes

This was another box card I made - this one was made and sent to my cousin who is currently being treated for a month at OHSU.  I used an image from Oddball Art Co called Collector of Hearts.  This is for the challenge over at Incy Wincy Designs - Oddball is one of the sponsors.  The challenge theme is ANYTHING GOES.  I had fun making this one.  I used a new embossing/cutting folder (embosslet), and the sentiments and flowers are from Cricut.

Made With Lots Of Love

I think this new release image from Bugaboo is so cute!  Sadly, I feel this card didn't do it the justice it deserved!!  :(  I thought I'd try adding these fun gems that I got from the Scrapbook Fair a couple weeks ago, but they just look...cheap!  Once I glued them on, I knew I ruined the card.  Then I wanted to add the glitter to my dragon and the glitter sort of exploded on his hand, so I tried to cover it with a heart gem!  LOL  This is what happens when I wait until the last minute (I'm usually about a month ahead of the game) to make something using an image I need to use for a project I need to make.  haha 

I digress...  This sweet guy is called Clyde Made With Love - I just checked for the link but he doesn't appear to be in the shop.  I'm sure he will be soon though!!  Just keep checking back HERE and be sure to grab the Friday freebie while you are at it!  :)  Here is my train wreck of a card...

Happy Birthday Tri-Fold Card

I had a some extra butterflies and flowers print and cut out for the pop up boxes I've been making that weren't used so I decided, rather than letting them go to waste I'd give the tri-fold card a try.  I used the draw and cut option on the Cricut for the sentiment, added the Fred She Said butterflies and the Cricut flowers and this is what came out of it all.  With the exception of the card base, this made using all "scraps", or left overs.

Single's Awareness Day

With one of my past posts Pattie from Pattie's Creations commented and asked if I'd be interested in joining her design team over at Pattie's Creations Design Challenge.  I decided, sure!  Why not?  So, this is my first creation for her design team using Cheers To You Ladies.  The challenge theme is "Love, Love, Love", well...because I'm single, with no Valentine in my little world (well, I actually told my friend whom I'm going to see the opera with on the 14th she could be my Valentine since we're both single) I decided to point out that love comes in many different forms.  In this case, I love my crazy and single friends!  I used gems, heart stickers, flowers, lace, burlap, doilies, and edge punch and a bow.

Valentine and All Season Pop-Up Box

Okay, I've been having WAY too much fun making these boxes.  This one was another made specifically for Mother's day, but then I thought, why make something like this that is only going to get stashed away after that specific holiday?  So, I made the Mother's day sentiment on Velcro, and did other sentiments that you can swap it out with.  So, now it isn't as seasonal.  Plus, if I decided, it could be a Valentine card first that can turn into a Mother's Day card!  :)  Two in one!  haha

I used the new Valentine Hug image from The Paper Shelter and the same butterflies as my last one I posted from Fred She Said - Swallow Tail Butterflies.  The flowers are all print and cut from Cricut.  Some of the sentiments are from Create With TLC.

Here is where the velcro went.  I actually made more sentiments than are pictured.
