Inspired Stamps Shaped Cards

I cut the top card from Life's a Party and figured the Military set would go perfectly on it. I stamped several stamps on it and then realized I was supposed to use a scripture. So I made another card.

This Christmas card was cute from Wild Card. I added the holly from Christmas Poinsettia and the tree from Vintage Christmas this tree is one of my favorite Christmas stamps. 

Head on over to Inspired Stamps and see what other shapes the ladies came up with. http://www.inspiredstamps.blogspot.com/

MCCR Pink Birthday Card

I cut the candles from Birthday Bash. The oval is from Spellbinders lacy ovals.  The sentiment is from Abby at Dilo En Espanol. I sell my cards and a lot of my customers speak Spanish so I am hoping more spanish cards will help me sell even more cards :)

Stampin Up Dragonfly Card

This card I made for my sisters birthday. She is a fun of dragonflies and I cut them out on my Cricut last year so stamps this year. The dragonflies are Stampin Up stamps. I colored the top one with Copics and added Stickles to the wings. I chalked the edges with Stampin Up chalk.

This sentiment is from Pink By Design. I love how this card came out. I dont think the pictures do it justice. Thanks for stopping by!

Inspired Stamps Sneak Peak

I meant to make another card with these wonderful stamps but time got away from me. Here is a sneak of the new stamps that Inspired Stamps has for this upcoming holiday season. I am a huge fan of this poinsettia and the sentiments that go with this set. You will have to check it out tomorrow on Inspired Stamps blog to see the whole collection this time around. My card is simple but I really like that about it. Simple is so hard for me but I am trying to so it at least sometimes.
Dont forget to go to the Inspired Stamps blog and see all the other stamps from this week.

TSB America Cards

In honor of 9/11 The Stamping Boutique is having a America/remembering challenge.

Here are the two cards I made using TSB images and some festive paper. Simple layouts, bright paper, wonderful images who can ask for more.
God Bless everyone that was effected by the terrible tragedy that happened on this day. This is the day my beautiful and first niece was born so at least I had a happy event to help with all the misery of that day.
Head on over to The Stamping Boutique and check out the rest the DT projects or join in the challenge!

MCCR Card with 3D item

My assignment this time was to make a card with a 3D item. I decided to make the ice cream pop up 3D like. If that doesn't give you the 3D your looking for then the brads count :)

I used Doodlecharm for the ice creams cut at 3in. I added Peachy Keen faces to them. Of course you have to have a bite out of your ice cream. I used my scallop punch to take a bite out of it. The sentiment is from Pink By Design. 

Head over to My Cricut Craft Room and check out the rest of the DT projects.

Sketch Blog Hop

Welcome to the Sketch Blog Hop. 

Everyone has had so much fun doing these it's turned into a regular event! The purpose of this hop is to show how all of these talented bloggers can take the same sketch and come up with totally different cards. If you've never used a card sketch before, give it a try! You should have arrived from Susan and if you just happened along the hop, you can go back to the start at www.craftycardgallery.blogspot.com Enjoy the hop!

This paper is DCWV and one of my favorite sheets of paper. It was in two stacks both of which I have.
I cut this card out using The Cricut Craft Room.I happened upon the Life's a Party cartridge in the Cricut Craft Room when they had it to use for free, which had a shaped card very similar to this sketch. The stamp in the middle is from Inspired Stamps birthday set. I love this set and they are have a sell for 40% off a set this week. I would pick this one up if I were you.

I accidentally cut the paper with the line crooked the first time so I used it for the inside.
Here is the sketch for this month.

Head on over to Zenita now and see how she used this wonderful sketch.

SunSational Birthday Candy Bag

Here is a gift bag I made for my nephew. I am loving these little kisses stamps. Of course I also love Peachy Keen so I added these cute faces to anything I can.

I used Create a Critter for the sun and used a Peachy Keen face. I added Glossy Accents to the eyes. The sentiment on the blue cut out is K. Andrew Designs. The yellow circle is from Jaded Blossom as well as the circles on the candies. 

I am entering this into

 The happy birthday is from Tear Drop Cricut cartridge. It is cut at 5 in.

100 Cricut Cartridge Blog Hop Day Two

You should have started at http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com/ if not please start at the beginning Welcome to My Cricut Craft Room's one year "BLOG-iversary" of our first 100 cartridge Blog hop! A year ago the blog was kicked off with the first design team members and daily postings. It took 2 months to get ready for this hop last year. Now we bring it to you the first full weekend of every month. Collectively the design team uses over 100 different Cricut Cartridges in their projects during the two days of this hop.

This was my first time using Robotz cartridge. I cut this guy two times and made to cards with him. He is cut out at 3 inches. The sentiment on the bottle cap is from Jaded Blossom. 

Here are the two I cut out at the same time. 

 Which one do you like better? Googly eyes or no googly eyes that is the question :)

I cut the card base from Birthday Bash. I used my Gypsy so not sure exact size. The ice cream cone is from Simply Charmed cut out at 3 inches. I added a Peachy Keen face and a Pink by Design sentiment.

Halloween Spooktacular Blog Hop

Welcome to the annual Halloween Spooktacular Banner Hop for Special Needs Children!
Check out the hop from the beginning at Ellen Cardmonkey's Blog and learn all about the wonderful cause behind this spooktacular blog hop. 

 Here is side number one.

I made my banner two sided as always :) My banner I has Cricut cut outs on one side. I used Simply Charmed for the ghosts and Create a Critter for the pumpkins but at 3 inches. I used different Peachy Keen faces on each of them.

The other side has some of my favorite digi stamp company's images. 

The Frankenstein is Stamping Boutique. I colored him with Copics and added Stickles to the stars around him. You can find him here.

 The pumpkin babies are Bugaboo. I was very excited they made this their freebie last week. I really wanted them when I saw them.

The ghosts are from Meljen's designs. You saw a lot of her great images on Ellen's banner too.  

 I used ribbon to connect the pieces and added some ribbon to give it that little extra detail. 
Make sure to head over to Nancie's blog and check out the rest of the awesome banners.
