What would we do without a greeting......card?

I just love to make my own greeting cards. There are endless possibilities. You can personalize them to fit the person or the occassion.

Crafty Card Challenge # 125

Hi All,
Here is my entry for the card challenge. I used the heart design from the Cricut Imagine machine. The little stamp is a Penny Black stamp with a little hedgehog and a little ladybug. I used markers on this stamp, but have found that color chalk is a better way to color these stamps. I ran the background paper through the Cuttlebug Divine Swirls folder. The sentiment I created from my computer. Inside it says I love you - Happy Valentines Day. I think it turned out real cute though I would use the chock next time. I hope you like the card and I will post again soon.
Love, Kathy

Just on my way - to blog

Hi all,
Thought I would post a new card today so you can see my attempts at coloring with Copic markers. This what they call a digital stamp from a company called Tiddly Inks. I colored it in with the markers and put it on a card. I think is is very cute and I am learning more all the time about how to work with different mediums to color stamps. The inside sentiment says "to wish you a happy birthday. I hope you enjoy the post. Until next time.
Love, Kathy

My favorite Christmas card 2012

Hi all,
Here is my favorite Christmas card that I made this year. I think it came out so cute. I love the little clothes pins for stocking hangers. They are just like the ones in the sentiment on the front. I used the Cricut Imagine cartridge to make the stockings. I think they are very pretty. I did keep this card as I was afraid that the clothes pins might get broken if I tried to send this through the mail. I can use it as an example for cards for next years group. I always have one card that stands out and I have a hard time parting with that one as all the cards I make are different. I hope you enjoyed your card this year. It is one of a kind. Thanks for taking a look and I will post more cards soon.

Color Challenge # 23


Hi again,
Here is my entry for the color challenge of Red, White, and Black. I used red and white paper for my heart card base. The shoes are from the Cricut cartridge The Nifty Fifties. This is a get well card for my sister who loves saddle shoes as do I. A blast from the past for us. I thought it would be cute to use a heart shape card that I cut out with my Cricut Imagine since it was so near Valentines day. It is a pretty simple little card, but very cute just the same and also using the colors in the challenge. I hope you enjoy it and stay tuned for more cute little cards.

Paper Playtime Challenge

 
 

Hi everyone,
It's been a while since I've posted to my blog, but I have some great cards to share with you. This card was made using the "I love you a Latte" cartridge. I used coffee themed ribbon to trim the edges of the card. The sentiments are ones I printed from my computer. I love the little travel cup from that cartridge. I found a Starbucks logo and sized it to fit the front of the cup. Since I am sending this to a friend and not using it for sale it should be OK. I have plenty of brown for the challenge. I hope you like it and stay tuned for more cute cards.

Cardztv Challenge #18

Hi fellow card creators and blog followers.
I have made the little card to celebrate the fall season and show thanks. I used the Cricut Imagine cartridge - Enjoy the Seasons for my printed background paper. I also used the circle cut from my Imagine. The little stamp was from Joanne's and the brand is  Inkadinkado. I used colored chalk to color my little squirrel. I had a lot of fun putting this together and I hope you enjoy it.
Until next time - keep on crafting.

Card Challenge # 118

Hi again fellow cricut followers,
It's been a while since I have participated in a card challenge, but I'm back! This little card should get you thinking about the upcoming holidays. I used the 3 Birds on Parade cartridge and of course it is the Santa image. I used the google eyes on this little guy as I thought it gave him more character. I had a lot of fun putting this card together. I look forward to posting more of my cards in the near future as I have many great one to share with you.
So until next time - have a great time creating.
