Easter cards

I had a CRAFTING DAY!!! Haven't had one in ages, it felt GOOD!!!! Got my Easter cards-12-done!! WHAHOO!
I used the Imagine cart Best Friends for the clouds and that was printed 5"x5" sq and trimmed down to 3.75"w x 5"h and rounded the cut side with a corner punch. Inspired Heart for the cross was cut at 2.62"h  black cardstock and WHO KNEW? Inspired Heart has phrases!!! YEP!! the risen phrase was cut from VINYL....yes, vinyl!!!! I tried cardstock but the letters were too delicate and was messing up trying to get them off the mat and how would I glue it down. The xyron was also a mess....so I trashed the cardstock and started over with VINYL!! PERFECT!!!!! OH MY GOSH!!! I'm going to stock up on vinyl!!! its so.....easy. I don't know why I didn't think of it before....   the phrase was cut at 2.12"h. I LOVE how the card came out!!!

I used my Imagine (yes, I'm blessed-my Imagine still works) and the Buccaneer cart. I cut the drunken pirate at 3"h and the wording at 1.9"h. The inside was on on my silhouette.

Ok, I made 30 backpacks earlier for a gathering at work....it was cancelled....so I made 10 more but this time I used the Best Friends Imagine cart for the designs and of course the backpacks are from Lifes a Party cut at 4.7". Why only 10 more you ask??? I work in a hospital and theres about 20 co-workers during my shift and the rest is for anyone that might wonder on to my unit...LOL

Did I say how much I LOVE CARDSTOCK WITH A DESIGN!!!  projects look so much better with a design than a solid color......Oh they are filled with lifesavers and I'll pass them out Monday- Labor Day. Ha Ha Ha...get it?......a backpack to help lighten their load of labor ....ROTFLOL!!! thats what I'll say too when I hand them out.....he he he  he....

Bubblegum Backpacks

OH MY GOSH!!! This was so much fun!! I'm really starting to LOVE the Imagine!!
I made 30 of these backpacks from Life's a Party cart cut at 4.7" and with the Imagine and the Bubblegum cart I printed each backpack with a different design....OK theres only 20 designs I had to repeat some of the designs. LOL. I used embroidery floss for the straps and tie and they each have 4 lifesaver candies inside.  Aren't they GORGEOUS!!!!! Thats cardstock!! you can't buy cardstock with a design!!! I didn't want solid colored bags...so I finally got creative and used my Imagine. ROTFLOL!!! I hope you all weren't thinking of the Bubblegum that you chew.......ha ha ha I'm a paper crafter I'm talking about the Imagine cart Bubblegum!! Don't you just love those designs??? Their so Bright and colorful!! I love this cart!! I made the backpacks for a little gathering we're having at work...I hope I made enough....

I LOVE this cart. You can make cards so QUICK!!

LOVE this card!!! This card is for my niece. I really put on my thinking cap and got creative, I used several different carts and ALL my machines..LOL  I won't tell you how old she is...its kind of obvious..LOL
Supplies:
 Banner is from the silhouette cameo @ 3.75"w
Girl is from the Imagine "Best Friends" @ 3.25"(my niece actually looks like that!!)
name is from "Lyrical letters" @ .75"
hand is from "A Childs Year" @ 2.75"
#5 is from "cursive 101" @ 1.30"
Cuttlebug "swiss Dots" embossing folder
4 pink rhinestones
and embroidery thread pink

The BEST part is the HB banner made with the silhouette cameo!!!! None of my PC machines would have been able to do this.... it was so easy and QUICK on the silhouette!!! Yes, the tiny little triangles were cut out and I glued them to the thread and then draped the thread across the card. COOL HUH??
 See, ALL my machines work very well together. Yeah, I know it was a lot of money to spend on a machine just to print/cut text but its worth it to me...Now my cards will be extra special cause I can add text/sentiments...The silhouette is for small text/sentiments only and I will ALWAYS use my PC carts for my die cutting. I am a CRIC AHOLIC!!!!! ROTFLOL!!!!

PS...I helpful tip..on the imagine I LOVE the border(shadow) feature but on this girl tho I didn't like the color it gave.  I changed the border color to match the card base...it blends in with the rest of the card and you hardly notice it.. NEAT HUH?? I gotta start remembering to do that for now on.

Valentine treats

Here's the treats I'll be taking into work on Valentines, I've got 20 of them done....about 20 more to go..LOL
I used the Spring Holiday Cards cart for the container cut @ 2.75" (I used my gypsy to hide the slash marks on the front). The cupid is from the Sweethearts cart cut @ 2.50" and the sentiment is from the Imagine cart Better Together cut @ 2". I'll fill them with the candy hearts. I put the cupid on one side and the sentiment on the other.

Valentines

Geez! I had to make myself craft....I'm just not in the mood.  Here's my Valentine cards(I made 12).
I used the "swiss dots" to emboss, the heart shaped earth is from the imagine cart "better together" and its pop dotted with SU dimensional and cut at 3". The quote was done on the computer and cut out by hand (GASP! I know, thats why I want the Silhouette). The heart on the inside was also done on the computer and trimmed with red glitter glue and again cut by hand (eekk GADS!! all this cutting is driving me crazy). See, thats why I ordered the Silhouette.  So it'll PRINT AND CUT my sentiments, I LOVE ALL MY PC PRODUCTS TOO MUCH to neglect them. We will ALL CRAFT in harmony and I'll be a HAPPY CRAFTER!!!!  LOL

Thank You

 I made for my cousin who's turning 7. I LOVE the Buccaneer Imagine cart!!

with B-day $  -  I used dimentionals for the chest so I could put the $ behind it.

after...LOL

Happy Birthday

My nephews b-day is coming up so I made him a card.
supplies:
SU- cs night of navy, dimentionals
Chomas Creations - embosser kit
Imagine cart- Buccaneer, All Wrapped Up

I thought it looked a little plain, so I embossed his name on top and age on the bottom. It's hard to see the cardstock is too thick to emboss but it shows up. Oh, I used dimentionals behind the pirate.

on the inside I pop dotted the treasure chest w/dimensionals so I could put some $.

Then for the coordinated envelope I followed this tutorial, but I substituted Buccaneer for Lori's Garden.

THANK YOU KATIE!!! now my envies will go with my cards.

A dear friend of mine LOVES LJS, so any time I find coupons I make a "special" card and send it to him.
I used the Imagine and Buccaneer. Isn't that pirate the CUTEST!!!!
The pirate is cut at 2.5 and his sentiment is cut at 1.3 and the background is 4"(rounded corner square). The inside was done on the computer. The card is SU cs Brocade Blue. You can't tell but the pirate is pop dotted.

4th July card

Heres my card. The Imagine makes it so EASY!! With just one piece of white cardstock. The red stripe is from Buccaneer(imagine) and the boy/wagon is from A Childs Year and the July 4 is from Designers calendar color filled from the dark blue from Buccaneer. Of course dazzleing diamonds and Crystal stickles was added for a little bling....The sentiment was done on the computer and the card base is SU Brillant Blue.
I made the envelope from Plantin Schoolbook and decorated it with some stamps I had.
