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.

Luck of the Irish

C
Hi all,
Here is my latest card for the Cardz TV challenge # 25. I have  both the shamrock and the leprechaun on this card. The leprechaun is from the Cricut Simply Charmed cartridge. The background paper is from Paper Studio. As you can see my little leprechaun has gold coins from his pot of gold. The inside sentiment is Luck of the Irish from the spring card cartridge by Cricut. I really like how he turned out. You can't get much more Irish than this, but then I am a Kathleen so I guess I should know Irish. I hope you enjoy him. Look for more cute cards soon.
Love, Kathy

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.
Kathy
