Dragonfly Glitz

Hey there, I made this card as soon as I got my new dragonfly stamp and heat embossing powders! I just love this card and it was so much fun to make! :) The photo does not do it justice. The dragonfly has such a beautiful shimmer to it.

Party Favor Bag

Hi, here is a party favor bag I cut with my Cricut Expression and added some shimmery prism curling ribbon. This is such an easy item to make as it's all one piece. Just cut, fold, & decorate. Love it! The card stock is from the Martha Stewart pack for baby boys & the iridescent ribbon I got at Hobby Lobby.

It's A Girl card

Here's another baby card I had a lot of fun creating. In this process I embraced the use of wall paper, my Crop-A-Dile II Big Bite, lavender eyelets, shimmery prism curling ribbon. Using beautiful pink glitter card stock I cut my sentiment with my Cricut Expression. I mounted the sentiment on the wallpaper, punched holes in the wallpaper, run the ribbon through the holes, tied & curled it, then attached the wallpaper & ribbon with the eyelets on some green glitter paper from the same pack as the pink which I bought at Walmart.

Cuttlebug Baby Card

Baby cards are so much fun!! I used pastel pink & white card stock that I'd gotten from Walmart. I put my white card stock in my Baby embossing folder by Cricut & run it through my Cuttlebug embossing machine. Once it was embossed I colored it using my Decorating Chalks by Craf-T and Pearlescent Chalks by Pebbles Inc in creating it.

3D Thank You

Hi all, here is a thank you card I created. I discovered a new technique called heat embossing to use for my cards & other creations. I found out about this technique one day while checking out the many wonderful crafting tutorials on YouTube.com! I am so hooked on this technique! It is so simple yet so pretty! Oh! If you will notice along the way, you will see that I have really taken a liking to different types of glue dots called Pop Dots or Dimensionals. These wonderful items raise items up off the paper and give them something of a 3D effect.

Father's Day card using Wild Card cartridge

This is a card I made for my husband for Father's Day last year. Sorry, not real good at remembering to blog yet obviously. LOL Anyway, I had such a good time creating this with my Cricut and Colorbok's Punch Out Pack "Jewel" paper pack.

Top Note Friend card

This is a card I made for a friend. One can never have to many cards on hand. Especially cards for family & friends. Even if they are for no reason other than to let the other person know you are thinking of them. The pink & green paper I got at a yard sale so I don't know the exact name of them or the manufacturer. The green top note shape was cut using my Cricut Expression. The purple card stock was in a "scrap-pack" so I don't know the details on it either. Sorry. The sentiment was stamped onto the purple card stock then heat embossed using neon yellow embossing powder by Zing. I then mounted it on the top note shape using pop dots.
