2nd Birthday Card

My daughter was invited to her friend's son's 2nd birthday party today, and she asked me to make the card. Here is what I came up with:

All cardstock is Bazzill.  The yellow glitter star paper on the front is from The Paper Studio Birthday Extravaganza paper pack.  The snake and baloon were cut from the Create A Critter Cricut cartridge at 3.25 inches high, and the number 2 was cut from the Birthday Bash Cricut cartridge at 1.12 inches high.  The sentiment was stamped using a Stampin' Up! stamp.

I used my Gypsy to lay everything out on my mat to cut, and here is the screen shot.  Does anyone know how to get a good photo of a Gypsy screen shot?

Here is how all the cardstock was placed on my mat.

For my Father's Day project, I made a simple, one-page layout, and here it is:

Even though it is a simple layout, I felt that it really showcased the pictures of my Dad.

The background paper is from The Paper Studio's Little Boys and Their Toys paper pack.  All soid cardstock is Bazzill.  I cut the #1 ribbon at 2 1/2 inches using the Just A Note Cricut cartridge (loaded on the E2).  I cut "DAD" at 2 inches using the Old West Cricut cartridge.  I used pop dots behind the #1 ribbon, and here a picture of the side view: (sorry it's kind of blurry)

I am offering Blog Candy, which is a mini chipboard album kit by Me & My Big Ideas.  Here is a pic:

Birthday Cards

Yesterday was my son's 18th birthday, and it was my mom's birthday as well.  It's been so busy with end of the school stuff for my son, that I was short on time to make birthday cards.  Anyway, here are the two cards that I whipped up for their birthdays.

Here is the card I made for my Mom.

Here is the card I made for my son.

Here is the screen shot from my Gypsy for my Mom's card:

I used the Sweet Treats Cricut cartridge for the cake and it was cut at 2 1/2 inches high.  I used a card base bought in a pack from Hobby Lobby, the background cardstock is from The Paper Studio Birthday Extravaganza paper pack and all solid cardstock is adhesive backed cardstock I bought from QVC a few years ago.  The buttons are from the 3 Birds Cute As A Button kit I bought from HSN.

Here is the screen shot from my Gypsy for my son's card:

The car was cut from the Hello Kitty Greetings Cricut cartridge at 2 1/2 inches high, Happy Birthday was cut from the Gysy Wanderings cartridge at 2 inches high and the Candles were cut from the Sweet Treats cartridge at 1 inch high.  I used a card base bought in a pack from Hobby Lobby, the background cardstock is from The Paper Studio Birthday Extravaganza paper pack and all solid cardstock is adhesive backed cardstock I bought from QVC a few years ago.


I think the cards turned out pretty good considering I completed them both in about 45 minutes.
