I got together with some friends this week (New ones and old ones) and we all made a Family Tree layout with the Cricut. I am not sure which cartridge was used for the tree but the leaves were from Walk in My Garden Cartridge. I inked the edges of the smallest leaves and I added some of those dew drops. I used the Tear Drop cartridge for the vinyl letters. This was a very fun project. I still have to add the family names on the leaves.
These are really cute flowers to make for any card or scrapbook page. They are very easy to make. Here is a video I found on how to make them http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCxI23P9m-Q&eurl=http://dawnsstampingthoughts.typepad.com/dawns_stampin_studio/
When I saw Kristina Werner's card I just had to make my own! She even gives you a nice little template to use. I used this cute little monkey stamp from Hero Arts (clear stamp) the dots are from SU. This is a super fun card. Go check out Kristina's blog, she has a video on it Ü
I tried something different with my cuttlebug on this card. On the top part of the card I layered the purple and the green strip together and then I stamped the Birthday wishes and then I ran that through my cuttlebug with an embossing folder. It actually looks pretty neat and it looks like it's part of the paper. I layered the embossed part onto a plain purple cardstock and then layered that onto a distressed edge green cardstock and then I layered that on top of another embossed cardstock which then I attached to the card. On the butterfly I used Tim Holtz Alcohol inks and blended them together. I then used the Cuttlebug die cut butterfly and then embossed that as well. I added three purple brads to the bottom of the card. The stamp is from Inkadinkado.
I always find male cards the hardest to make. It's so much easier to use flowers and pretty embellishments on cards. So here is my male card.I can't believe my granddaughter Dottie is walking. She will turn one on Sept 16Th. She has the longest legs. She is such a cutie pie!
I made this card using the Nestibilities for the round scallops. These are great die cuts. I added pierced holes on the scalloped part. I used a SU clear button for the center. I glued pattern paper under the button to match the pattern paper under the scallops. I used the dew drops for more dimension. I used the fiskars scallop punch for the edge of the pattern paper.
This is the Front of the Tin
Tin Open with pages tucked inside
I made this Baby Tin Book for a friend of mine who is having a baby girl. The words Angle and Girl are wood letters, I inked some of the edges but not all. I used the SU journal stamp to add journaling to the pages. On the front cover I used the little skittles for dimension. Also on the front cover I used a scallop punch for borders. Hand cut the flowers from the pattern paper. I used a flower punch for the yellow flowers. I got the tin at Target, they had them on Clarence and it was originally a tic tac toe game. I used double stick tape to attach the paper and chip board pages to the tin. Now all she has to do is add the pictures of her new baby Ü
I just love the embossing folders that they have for the Cuttlebug, and there are lots more on my wish list Ü I used the crocodile stamp from Hero Arts clear stamps. This is a fun set. Great for kids cards. The Photo Anchors are from Joann's.
