Hi Everyone!
I know I've said it before but we have a LOT and I do mean a LOT of birthdays in our family during the month of September! Well, this Saturday will be my nephew, Christopher's, birthday and my mother-in-law's birthday. I made this card last night for Christopher.
Now I have to commend his Mom and Dad for raising him properly. He is a wonderful young man and he's also a Georgia Bulldog fan. I told you he was wonderful.
On his birthday, I know he will be watching the Bulldogs play football - that's where the idea for this card came from.
Using the Wrap It Up cartridge, I cut the "football card" at 5" and then cut the layers and adhered them to the football.
Using Lyrical Letters and Cricut Craftroom, I merged the word "dawg" which if you're a Georgia Football fan is slang for the the team. I cut "dawg" out three times in the Georgia colors. I used WORD to print the rest of the sentiment and popped it on the front.
I think Christopher will get a big kick (get it - football humor?) out of this card! GO DAWGS!!
Thank you so much for stopping by today! Mom and I appreciate your visits and your comments! Until another day, God Bless You! Donna
Hi Everyone! I made Jacob's teachers and my boss a little something for Halloween. I have to deliver them tomorrow (Jacob said he would be too "shy" to deliver them - HA) because I have to attend a conference next week and will not be home for Halloween. Can you believe that someone would actually schedule a conference on Halloween? That person must not have any kids at home that like to go trick or treating!!
I used the Wrap It Up cartridge to cut out the boxes and then scored the edges with MS score pad. I glued them together with Tacky Tape.
I then cut out the layer pumpkin to fit on the front of the boxes.
I used a Meljen's Digital Stamp for the tags and colored them with Promarkers, punched a hole for the ribbon, then tied a knot. Oh Soooooo Simple!! Then the fun part was putting candy in them - yum,yum!!!
I hope the teachers will like them. I try to let them know they are appreciated. It takes a very special person to be a teacher. Thanks to all the teachers out there for all the hard work that you do for our children!!
Thanks so much for stopping by - we love company. Speaking of company, Jacob's having a sleepover tonight. Why do they call it a sleepover when the kids do NOT want to go to sleep?? I'm sure that Saturday will hold a nap for all of us!!
Have a good weekend! Until another day, God Bless You!! Donna
Hi Everyone! I know Mom and I have told you that we have a LOT of birthdays in our family during the month of September. My nephew, Christopher, will be having a birthday next week and he is an avid video game player. So I decided to use the Wrap It Up Cartridge to make him a video game remote card.
To cut out the cardbase, I turned my pattern paper over so that the pattern side faced down. The reason I did this is because I wanted the pattern to show when the card is facing up. I cut the card base on the back of the pattern cardstock.
I folded the card in half then I cut the top of the remote out of silver metallic paper.
I then cut the buttons out of red cardstock.
While organizing, I found yet another item that I've had for quite some time. Well, actually my mom found it. It's Glossy Accents and I applied it to the buttons on the remote. The picture of the remote wasn't quite dry when I took the picture. But I had to take it in order to post my card before Midnight.
I think Christopher will really like it. Thanks for stopping by today - we appreciate your visits and your comments. Until another day, God Bless You! Donna
HI Everyone!! Did Mom tell you that we just had the BEST girl's weekend together? We went to a Vera Bradley "A Colorful Day" event in Charlotte, NC, got our toes done, and laughed, laughed, and laughed!! We didn't turn the TV on all weekend - amazing!!!!
Well, on to my post! I don't know if you've purchased it or not, but the Wrap It Up cartridge is a must have!!
I made this fence shaped box to house my boss' favorite coffee. I used the fit to page button on my Expression and the box was cut at 11". This cartridge not only cuts boxes, it also cuts cards. I cut the items for this card at 4" to match the box. I had this sitting on my boss' desk this morning as a little welcome back gift from her trip to Switzerland. She loved it.
So if you haven't gotten your Wrap It Up cartridge yet, you might want to seriously consider it. Thanks for visiting with us and we hope you'll come visit again tomorrow! Until another day, God Bless You!! Donna
Hi Everyone - do you remember the other day when I told you I found the Wrap It Up Cartridge covered up by a bunch of "stuff?" Well, I'm really glad that I found it. I used it this weekend to decorate a gift bag and card for a couple that I know that are going to have a bouncing, baby girl in June. They are going to name her Anabella and call her "Bella!" Don't you just love that name?
I used Design Studio and the Wrap It Up cartridge to decorate the bag and card. Here are the recipes:
Bag:
Carriage - 6" - popped
Sentiment Circle - freebie downloaded from Nettie's Cards
Card:
Use the card feature on the Wrap It Up cartridge to cut A2 Size
Baby Carriage - 2" - popped
Cut strip of pink cardstock and used Martha Stewart Heart Border Punch to create border
Inside - Wrap It Up Cartridge - It's A Girl - 3"
I decorated the Envelope with the hearts and border punch that I had left over.
I just love making something like this!! Thanks for stopping by and please come back tomorrow! Until another day - God Bless You!! Donna
Hi Everyone - have you ever bought a cartridge and forgot that you had it? Well, that's what I did with the Wrap It Up cartridge. I couldn't wait to get it and then when I got it, I put it in my scrap area, and it got covered up by "stuff." I was working on my scrap area because as I told my mom, "I was getting swallowed whole by the all the mess!" and I rediscovered the cartridge. Since I needed to make a birthday card, I thought I would use this cartridge.
I used the card option on the cartridge and cut the card at 6 1/2" and covered the cardbase with brown and blue cardstock and then added bling. I cut a tag at 2 1/2" to use on the inside of the card. I really like this cartridge and will definitely be using it a lot more since I found it again!!
Thanks for stopping by and we hope you'll come again. Until another day, God Bless You! Donna
