Used my Cuttlebug to cut out the cups

Celebrate Card

I wanted to create a simple quick card I could make for Birthday Parties or other Celebrations. It makes it nice to have cards made ahead of time, that I can pick from when I need to. This card design is simple enough to make multiple cards at once. 

First pick papers that go well together. I found fun papers in a Recollections "All Girl" paper pad.  I made a standard size card base from white card stock. Cut an 8 1/2" x 11" paper in half to create 2 cards. Then fold each in half to make the card base. 

Cut out stars from different patterns. I used a Cricut and the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge shift of button #20 and cut them at 1 1/2".

Stamp "Celebrate!" from My Pink Stamper - Birthday Crazy, or other birthday stamps you have. 

Cut and adhere the different layers of paper.  I put the stars on using 3D Zots so they would raise off the paper. Then add gems to the stars. That is a quick & simple creation. 

Easter Banner

I needed some Easter Decor in our home so I decided to make this quick Simple Creation. Sorry it is hard to take pictures of banners and really capture how they look. 

Instructions:

Paper - The Old World Stack by DCWV

Cricut Cartridge - Story Book

The paper was really thick so I had to cut everything twice. There is a setting on the Cricut E2 & in the Cricut Craft Room Software

Cuts - Button #39 basic/shift

4" & 3.5" (stretched in Cricut Craft Room)

Basic Letters from Story Book Cart 2.5"

Zots 3D between the shape layers

Clips I bought from IKEA (they hang curtains)

Twine to hang the banner

Hope you enjoy this banner and are inspired to create something for yourself.

Birthday Wishes - Card

Simple Birthday Card

Basic Instructions:
Cut out a card base
Cut out a basic shape and use different papers to layer on it
Decorate with Washie Tape strips
Stamp Birthday Wishes (this is a My Pink Stamper Stamp)
Add dash marks with a white gel pen

Simple Card Instructions to make your own Birthday Wish Card. I love using Washie Tape for a quick simple way to dress up a card. It already is sticky so, all I have to do is rip it & put it on the paper. These cards are easy to make up alot so you can have them on hand when you need to give away a birthday card. I've learned I have given away most of my cards and its time to start stocking up again.

Sweet Birthday

Today we went to our local Apple Orchard to pick apples. While we were there we bought some apple cinnamon donuts. It became part of a gift that we will take to a birthday party tonight.

I cut it out from the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge (button 10, shift font layer)

Back Pack Makeover

My youngest daughter had a plain pink back pack. So of course will all my crafting supplies I decided to give it a makeover. 

This is what the finished bag looked like. 

Here are all the supplies I used. 

- I used paracord to tie to the zippers to pull

- I cut flowers out of felt with dies and my Cuttlebug

- I sewed buttons to the flowers using embroidery floss

   To make sewing easier, I marked the button holes with a pen and 

    punched holes with a hole punch

- I glued the flowers down with Beacon 3-in-1 glue

Hope you enjoyed my back pack makeover. 

I hope to get back to crafting more often. I have a daughter in 1st grade and another starting pre-school soon.
