Happy Spring

Happy Wednesday and Happy Pi Day!


Today's post has nothing to do with Pi Day, if I had been more organized it would have been, but oh well... that's life, right? :)


I have another quick card for you today.

The flower and it's base are from Lettering Delights, Love Me Do svg set. I created the base of the card by making a shadow layer around the base shape. Then I took two shadow pieces and  welded them together to form the base of the card. I also cut two flowers, glued them together at the center, and then rolled the ends of the petals to add a bit of dimension. Everything was designed in Make-the-Cut  and cut out on my Ecraft.

The papers I used are from PaperTrey Ink and DCWV.

My sentiment and Tag's are from My Creative Time's, Teeny Tag Greetings stamp set. The twine is from The Twinery.

Here's one last look. 


I hope you have a wonderful day!

Hello Cupcake!

Happy Tuesday!


I have a fun shaped card for you today.

   The cupcake is from Lettering Delights, Nancy's Party svg set. I created a shadow around the base of the cupcake in  Make-the-Cut, and welded two of them together to form the base of the card.  I used my Ecraft to cut everything out.

The papers I used are from PaperTrey Ink, Coredinations, and My Minds Eye's, Twisted Lime collection.

I used Jaded Blossom's small flag die, the Miscellaneous Fun, and the Food and Drink stamp sets. The twine is from Trendy Twine.


I hope you have a wonderful day!

Wish Big...

Happy Monday!

Did you have a nice weekend? It was beautiful here in sunny southern California. I was able to get quite a few things crossed off my every growing "to do" list. I was also able to get some cards made for several of the Birthday's, on my calendar, this week.

Today's card is for my nephew. He is turning two tomorrow.

 I have been wanting to make something with this Treasure Box file since I bought it. It is called "Under the Big Top". I used Make-the-Cut to size everything and design my card.

 The papers are from Papertrey Ink, Coredinations, and My Minds Eye's, Twisted Lime collection.

 The sentiment is from My Creative Time's "Wow! So Many Candles" stamp set. The banner die is from her "Build a Banner Kit".

 Isn't the elephant the cutest!?! I just love all Trisha's files!

I am also making him a book, but I'm not finished with it yet. I will share it once it's finsihed.

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Happy Birthday Sophia!

Happy Wednesday!

Whew! We're half way there...

So I realize that is card is really similar to Monday's card, which just happens to be Sophia's twin sister's birthday card, but I thought... why re-invent the wheel? I liked the way that Kaely's card came out and I figured that I would just use a different cut and mix up the colors a bit.

  The chick cupcake is from Lettering Delights, Nancy's Party svg set. I used a couple basic shapes from the Make-the-Cut library to form the base of the card and my Ecraft to cut everything out.

I used Jaded Blossom's small flag die and the Nerdy Owl stamp set.

 Her face is from Peachy keen Stamps, Critter Faces large set.

 The papers are from PaperTrey Ink, Coredinations, and K and Company's Confetti stack.

Which card is your favorite? Kaely's or Sophia's?

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Guinness Please!

Happy Tuesday!

I have a fun St. Patty's Day card for you today. 

 The beer stein is from the new Lettering Delights, Luck of the Irish svg set. I used the shadow feature in Make-the-Cut to create a base around the stein. Then welded two of the shadows together to form the base of the card and my Ecraft to cut everything out.

 The papers are from PaperTrey Ink, Coredinations.

I used Jaded Blossom's small flag die and My Creative Time's, I believe in Leprechauns stamp set.

See you back here tomorrow!

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Happy Birthday Kaely!

Happy Monday!

How was your weekend? It was beautiful here is southern CA.  I was able to get some yard work completed, some cleaning done, and was able to work on some blog projects for this week.

Seems like there are a ton of birthday's this month. Do you have month's like that too? August is another crazy birthday month for me.  

My little Zachary and I go to the park a couple mornings each week. Not only does it get us out of the house, but he's able to run and play and get all that 2yr old energy out. We have made a lot of friends, but his favorite friends are a set of twins that are about a week or so older then him. He gets so excited when he sees them coming. It's so cute! Anyway, their 2nd birthday is this week and so, of course, I have to make them each a card. 

Today's card is for Kaely.

 

 The bear cupcake is from Lettering Delights, Nancy's Party svg set. I used a couple basic shapes from the Make-the-Cut library to form the base of the card and my Ecraft to cut everything out.

I used Jaded Blossom's flag dies and the Miscellaneous Fun stamp set. Both are new releases for the month of March.

Her face is from Peachy keen Stamps, Critter Faces large set.

 The papers are from PaperTrey Ink, Coredinations, and K and Company's Confetti stack.

See you back here tomorrow!

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Jaded Blossom's Monthly Challenge!

Happy Sunday!

Today is the start of a brand new challenge on the Jaded Blossom blog!

This months challenge is to create a card/project where the color green is one of the main colors used. It does not have to be St Patty day themed.

So every year I say I am going to try a Shamrock Shake , but I never do. I thought it was about time I get one. Can you say Yum! I just might have to get another one before St. Patrick's Day.

 I used one of the new black & white straws,  banner flag dies, the Eat and Drink stamp set, and the Luck of the Irish stamp set.

For more information, inspiration, and about the challenge, click here!

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

Happy Friday!


If you are looking for Jaded Blossom's New release blog hop, click here. 


Did you know that today is Dr. Seuss's birthday? Well, just in case you didn't, I thought I would fill you in! 


Theodor Geisel, AKA Dr. Seuss, was a long time resident of La Jolla, CA (San Diego, CA). He is perhaps the 20th century's most famous author for children, Dr. Seuss wrote and illustrated nearly 50 books during his lifetime. His books were famous for their funny rhymes and whimsical characters, several of which were named after prominent San Diego residents. I never met him personally, but I do know people who knew him. One of my high school teachers use to tell us stories, about serving Dr. Seuss breakfast each morning. He was a waiter at a restaurant in La Jolla, when he was in college, and Dr. Seuss ate there everyday.

I thought, in honor on Dr. Seuss, that I would make a Birthday card!

I LOVE the Cat in the Hat! I just couldn't resist this Cat and Friends svg set from Treasure Box Designs, when I saw it! 

 I made a free standing pop-up card. A written tutorial showing how to make the card is here and I also made a video, showing how to make it, you can view it here.

 I used papers from Heidi Grace, DCWV, and Paper Trey Ink.

 Don't you love this little fish!?! His smile is from Peachy Keen Stamps set, PK-486 In Stitches Face Assortment.

The sentiment is from My Creative Time's set called Polka Dot "SURPRISE".

I'm off now to read my little Zachary some Dr. Seuss books!

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Yoda One for me!

Happy Thursday!

Guess what? 

It's not only Jaded Blossom's new release blog hop day, but in two day's it will be the weekend! I am sooo ready.

I made these cards a couple of weeks ago and never got around to posting them. I used the same svg cut, but different sayings on each card. I kept them simple, because they have a more masculine feel.

 The sentiment on this one was printed on my printer.

The Yoda svg is from Little Scraps of Heaven's, "The Master" file. I used Make-the-Cut to size him and my Ecraft to cut him out. The Kraft colored twine is from The Twinery.

This next card I added a little stitching around the edge of the card and a sentiment from Jaded Blossom's "Nerd" stamp set.

 

 

 I think they turned out cute and they are just perfect for those "geeky" loved one's in my life.

Also...

Don't forget that today at 4pm (PST) is the Jaded Blossom Stamp release blog hop!

All the fun starts at Jaded Blossom's blog at 4pm!

Don't miss all the fun!

I hope you have a wonderful day!
