Let them eat (cup)cakes!

This one was made for a co-worker for a little girl's birthday. I used Doodlecharms, Car Decals, and Home Decor. Just got the Car Decals cartridge from my Cricut rewards points and was super-psyched to use it - such cute stuff on there! Anyway, I think it turned out OK. Still trying to get the hang of shape cards...

Autumn wedding card

Another card for a co-worker and dear friend. She showed me the wedding invitation for guidance on the colors and theme. Sooooo, rather than, you know, going outside and picking up real leaves, I went to my trusty Cricut!

The leaves were cut at 4 1/2" from A Child's Year cartridge. I then squeezed most of the moisture out of a wet wipe and inked it using various contrasting fall colors which I then dabbed on the leaves. I let the leaves partially dry, then sprayed the leaves with Snow Queen Glimmer Mist from Tattered Angels. The spray spread the ink a little bit, giving a nice natural mottled look to the leaves. I then let them fully dry before applying to the card. The sentiments were stamped, and I used various scraps and bits and pieces for the rest of the card.

Thanks for looking!

Wedding card easel

One of several wedding cards I made for a co-worker to choose from. Of course, I forgot to write any details down. About the only thing I can say is the cake is from Paper Doll Dress Up. The easel card seems to be my new favorite style. Thanks for looking!

Apple bushel basket birthday card

I made this card for a co-worker who was giving her sister an apple tree as a present. Her only request was that the card have something to do with apples. Well, I thought and thought and finally realized I could try one of those "flower pot" cards I've seen everywhere but never made myself.

I used Doodlecharms for both the basket (cut at 4 1/2", I think) and the apples (cut at 1 1/4") using scrap papers I had laying around. I printed the sentiment on the computer.

It seemed to be a big hit at work and I think it turned out pretty cute. Thanks for looking!

This is a birthday card I made for my sister-in-law. For onceI didn't use any Cricut. My youngest daughter picked out the theme and we used a cute die-cut we found at our local scrapbook store. The cute papers are from DCWV Pets Stack. This is also my first ever easel card - wow, was it super easy to do - don't know why I was so afraid to try it! Thanks for looking!

Black, red and white wedding tri-fold card

This is another card made for a coworker using the black, red and white color scheme from the wedding. Not my favorite...wanted it more elegant, but again, I was a little lacking in creativity last week. Will try to do better next time...

Onesie Baby cards

I made these for a coworker - without any preferences other than it had to be 2 girl and 1 boy card, I was free to do what I wanted. I was a little short on energy, creativity and time last week, but I still think these turned out pretty cute.

I used basic white 5 x 6.5 cardstock for the base. Background papers are all from The Paper Studio (so CUTE!!). The onesies were cut from the B is for Boy cartridge - cut at 4.5" for the girls and 5" for the boy card. The monkey on the boy card is from Everday Paper Dolls (cut at 2"), the rattle is from Sugar and Spice (also cut at 2") and the heart is from George and Basic Shapes (again, at 2"). The "Wee One" is from B is for Boy (cut at 1", I think...) and the "Little Princess" is from Sugar and Spice (again, at 1", I think).

Thanks for looking!
