Thank you_St Patricks Day Style

Here's a Thank You card I made using one of the Shamrocks from the Lucky Me set that I used earlier this week. It just goes to show you how versatile this Cutting Cafe set really is.

I paired it up with an image from The Stamping Boutique that I think is adorable. It comes in a girl version too. It's really a quick and simple card but sometimes that is all you need.

Think Green!!

I thought I'd share a card I made for St. Patricks Day. It's a whole lot of green and I love it. I used several different prinable images from The Cutting Cafe which I've shared below.

First I printed the Lucky Background on a piece of white card stock. Then I printed the large shamrock from the 4 Leaf Clover Shaped Card printable set using the background paper I just created. I cut out the shamrock and popped it up with dimensionals.

The large sentiment and the black and white clover embellishment is from the Lucky Me printable set. All great sets to have of course.


Be sure to head on over to The Cutting Cafe to see what wonderful things Regina has to offer. There are some new must have sets.

Happiness

Hello everyone!! I hope you had a great weekend. This week's Crazy Challenge theme is NOT to use designer paper.

I used the image called Happiness Word Plaque from this week's sponsor TLC Creations. You can't really see it in the picture but I ended up making my own designer paper using stamps and ink. I also stamped a green leafy stem and flower to add more dimension.

I like working with this sponsors image so much that I will be posting two additional cards with it for my Digital Tuesday Challenge project tomorrow.



I hope you will join us for this week's Crazy Challenge. Also be sure to check out TLC Creations for a great selection of digi's and lots of freebies too.

Happy Birthday!!

I thought I'd share a fun shaped card today. I used one of my latest printable sets from The Cutting Cafe. The party hat shaped card is from the set called Party Hat Shaped card set which can be found HERE and the Fun with Party Hats set found HERE.
Both sets are a must have and would be perfect for birthday parties and projects alike. As you can see in the close-up photo I paired it up with a sentiment from The Birthday Tags set which can be found HERE.
Challenges: Paper Pretties- use punches or die cuts

This week's Digital Tuesday Challenge is all about using your stash. You know you have stuff laying around just waiting to get used so now is the time to put it to good use....great use.


This week's sponsor is Spesch Stamps. You know the place with the great digi's and also clear stamps. Remember to have a chance to win you must use a digital element on your project.


For my project this week I used the image Bonnie digital stamp from Spesch Stamps. It' still one of my favorite images from our sponsor this week. I paired it up with a couple of printables from The Cutting Cafe. The XoXo background can be found HERE and the Hershey's Kiss Valentine Bottoms can be found HERE.



Hope you play along this week and before I forget, Happy Valentine's Day!!

Hey Tootsie!!

If you are a fan of shaped cards then you should really like this one.


For my tootsie roll cards I used two different printable sets from The Cutting Cafe. The shaped card template is called The Candy Shaped Card Set and it can be found HERE. Included in the set is an adorable peppermint shaped card. I can't wait to play with that one.


The sentiment tags were made using the Candy Sentiment Set found HERE. Included with this set are various colored backgrounds that will be a welcomed addition to any project. Now onto card 1:





I thought ribbon would be a fun addition to the first card. That way its not 2 Dimensional. I used SU tag punches to cut out the sentiment. Here's a close-up of Card 2's sentiment:




Card 2 looks a little more old-fashioned than the first. I decided to add a couple of buttons and used tacky tape so I could attach the baker's twine.



Both cards came together very quickly and are pretty sweet.
