Save The Date Card

My daughter is getting married in August 2015, and I made this Save The Date card to send out. I used the Sweethearts Cricut cartridge to make this. I flipped and welded the shape for the base of the card. The base of the card and the layers were cut at 4 1/2". I cut off the ring part from the black layer. I also used the hide and contour feature on my Gypsy for the ring. "Save the Date" phrase and shadow were cut at 2". I used the D'vine Swirls Cuttlebug emossing folder on the. black layer of the ring box. The white and black cardstock are Bazzill and the silver and silver prismatic cardstock were bought at Hobby Lobby.

I used my Gypsy to make the cuts, and here is a picture of my Gypsy screen.

Thanks for stopping by!

50th Anniversary Party Invitations

I made this invitation for a surprise 50th Anniversary party for my parents. I bought gold foil paper for the layers and letters and the "You're Invited" stamp from Hobby Lobby.  I embossed the white layer on the front of the card using the D'vine Swirl Cuttlebug embossing folder. I used Cricut American Alphabet (one of the pre-loaded cartridges that came with my Cricut Expression 2 Anniversary Edition) for the numbers and letters.  I found gold ink at Michaels and used that to stamp the inside of the invitation.  I also found the gold ribbon at Michaels and thought it was the perfect touch to make the invitation more elegant.

My parents should be really surprised since I'm having the party about a month and a half before their actual anniversary.

Valentine's Card

I made this Valentine's card without using my Cricut, which is rare for me!  All the cardstock, including the base of the card, is Recollections.  The base is cream and is an A2 size card (5 1/2 x 4 1/4).  The red layer is 5 1/4 x 4, the cream layer is 5 x 3 3/4 and the black layer is 4 3/4 x 3 1/2.  The black layer was embossed with the Cuttlebug A2 Heart Blocks embossing folder.  The Love stamp is cut using the stamp die and embossing folder, which I believe came with the Cuttlebug.  The hearts are from a Cuttlebug die, but I don't know the name of it.  The inside red layer is 5 x 3 3/4 and the cream layer is 4 3/4 x 3 1/2.  The heart on the inside is also cut from the Cuttlebug die.

I hope everyone has a Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Birthday Card

I made this birthday card for my friend Chris' birthday.

The base is Recollections cardstock and is cut at 4 1/2" using the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge.  The orange layer is Recollections cardstock and is cut at 4" using the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge, and is embossed using the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug embossing folder.  The patterned paper layer is from the DCWV Flower Shower Spring Stack and is cut at 3 1/2" using the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge. The cardstock used for the flower is Recollections and is cut at 2 1/4" using the Sophie Cricut cartridge.  The bling used for the center of the flower is Queen and Co. Twinkle Goosebumps.  For the banner, I stamped on a 3/4" piece of white Recollections cardstock, then notched the ends to make a banner.  The stamps used on the front and inside are CTMH Card Chatter - Birthday.  I used the CTMH Archival Black Exclusive Ink Pad.
