Here is the card I made for Emily. I kept is simple and fun. I hope she likes it.

For my card I used papers from DCWV and from my stash. The cupcake is cut from the Close to my heart Artiste cartridge and I used one of the stamps sets that came with that cart. I also used one of the stamps sets that came from the Art Philosophy Close to my heart cartridge for the happy birthday.

Emily- I hope you have a wonderful birthday. It was so much fun making you this card. Enjoy your day and this wonderful year. "Follow your dreams and reach for the stars." Happy 13th Birthday.

Latte Love

A second post of the day, Because I couldnt wait to share this card any longer. You can see the other post HERE

I wanted to wait to share this card but I waited until the person getting it got it. Well last week was a little crazy here so am sharing it now. I love how this card came out. I do not have the Cricut Love You Latte cart-- YET.. Its coming soon from a friend. I cant wait to play with that cart and the stamp set I have. To make this card I found a template for the shape of the card. (If I didnt it wouldnt have worked out trust me.)

I found this really cute card on The Frugal Crafter. You can see Lindsay Weirich card here. You can find the template there. I do NOT own the template. Thank you Lindsay for sharing the template. :)

 

Here is the front of the card. I used the template for the shape of the card. All the Stamps on this card is from Cardz Tv Stamps "Brew Ha Ha" set. <3 love that set. The circles all came from the Close to my Heart Cricut Cartridge Art Philosophy and can be found here

 

The front and inside. This card doesnt open. The lid holds the tag the slides out of it. :)

 On the other side of the tag is my handwritten note.

 

And this is the back. :) I loved making this card. I even add a small saying at the bottom. I couldnt resist it.

 

Thank you again to the Frugal Crafter for all her creativness. Make sure you head over to Cardz Tv Stamps and order this wonderful set of stamps.

Until Next time

Fall Favorites

Welcome to my blog today.

Can you believe its almost fall. The weather the last couple of days have felt amazing here. I am the guest designer again for Crafty and Green. Thank you Tina.   :) I have to say that I loved making this card. I got the inspration for my card from a follow crafter and you can so see her wonderful card here. Thank you Christina for sharing you beautiful card and giving me the idea for this card. 

 

So with that being said here is my version of this card.

This card base is cut at 4.75 inches -paper is from Close to my heart
The mat layer is cut at 4.5 inches and the paper is from DCWV Harvest Gathering stack
The next layer is cut at.. ok I dont remember. sorry

The 3 leaves are cut from the Art Philosophy Cricut cart from Close to my heart and you can find it here and they are cut at 2 inches. The leaf stamp is also from the Art Philosophy Cricut Cart collection. Its a stamp set that cames with the cart. The center leaf is stamps with a stamp from the Close to my Heart Card Chatter- Love stamp set and it say "Inspriation" over and over just randomly stampes. I used distress ink in fire brick, wild honey and tea dye on the leaves.

I then stamped the "You are my..."  and on the inside it simply says

I hope you enjoyed my card today. If you would like to order any of the close to my heart stuff I would be more then happy to help.  :) Thank you again Christina for giving me the inspriation for this card. :)

Until next time

Cardz Tv Spring Blog Hop March 24-25

Welcome to Cardz Tv Spring Blog Hop.

You should have came from Lynn.  If you didn't please head over to Mary's blog at Cardz Tv

 This spring blog hop was so much fun. Being able to make fun bright colored spring and easter projects. For my projects I made a cute little bag as well as a card. I used 2 different stamp sets from Cardz Tv. I used "Encouraging Thoughts" and "Think Spring". I LOVE these stamps.

 

For the card I used The Close To My Heart Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge for the flowers. The two end ones are cut at 3 and the middle was 2.5. the card is a 4 x 4 card. I used Cardz Tv Stamp Set "Think Spring".

This bag was cut using the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge. I cut it to fit page. I also used the AP cart for the rosette and the tag. I really love this cart. The sentiment comes from using two different stamp sets from Cardz Tv. The "Peace and Love" comes from "Encouraging Thoughts"  and the "Flower Power is from "Think Spring"
I hope you are enjoying this hop. Please be sure to check out Cardz Tv as Mary is having a giveaway. For more information see CARDZ TV .
