More Cards

This weekend I made four different occasion cards. The first two are pretty simple - I used a Cuttlebug folder for the background, a stamp, and the Martha Stewart punch for the border in the bottom.

Here's another version...

Then I CASE'd (is that the right term?) these two cards from the Papertrey Ink Gallery. I've had the Blooming Button Bits Stamp for a while now and I have been wanting to use it.

I used buttons for this one...

 

...and a purple flower for this one.

 





Have a wonderful rest of the week, everyone!

Birthday Cards

I was able to finish two birthday cards this weekend. I used the same card sketch but different papers. Love mixing and matching different colors and patterns.

Used paper from Michael's, cardstock, bling and a couple of Cuttlebug dies. I also did some stitching. It's something that I would like to do more this year.

Have a great week everyone!

Happy New Year!

Happy new year, everyone! Here's to a wonderful and blessed new year for all of us. I am excited to do new crafting projects this year and share them here in my blog.

I have been off for two weeks from school so I had a bit of time for crafting. I would like to share some of the things that I've been working on.

I'm still doing 3x3 cards, but I'm using designs that I've not done before. There seems to be a craze about owls lately, so I decided to use these owl stickers from Michael's for my cards.

Here's a closer look at one of them.

The stamps I used are from The Pink Stamper. They just go perfect with the owl stickers.

Here's an acrylic post-it note holder that I did. The soccer ball stamp is from Papertrey Ink.

I noticed that sports-themed items are popular during craft fairs, so I will make more of those.

Here's a simple and easy, yet elegant card.

This card is made from glitter paper, the Daisy Punch from Martha Stewart, and some bling. This card measures 3.5x3.5 to get the four flowers.

Another thing I am OBSESSED with right now is crocheting. I've done some crocheting a long time ago (thanks to my mom who taught me how to do it) but now, thanks to Youtube, I am relearning the skills that I need to make different things. I finished an infinity scarf for my daughter, then yesterday, I finished this.

It was fast and easy to finish, and it's the cutest thing ever! I am going to add a flower to the other beanies that I will make. I want to make matching scarves as well to make a set. My younger daughter has friends who love American Girl dolls so this would be a perfect gift for them.

Okay, gotta go get some more yarn. They're on sale at Michael's and Joann's this week. Have a good rest of the week, everyone!
