Personalized Birthday Using Die Cuttin' Diva Sketch

Happy Saturday,

I have a couple personalized birthday cards to share that I made for a friend's grandkids. This Minnie Mouse is a favorite...it's just so cute with all the pink. I cut the Minnie and letters/number with my Cameo, the stitched dies and stamped sentiment are by MFT, and the pattern papers are from Paper Studio. I added a few sequins since girls love bling.

I used the following sketch from Die Cuttin' Divas for my Minnie Mouse card.

I used my Cameo to cut the tractor and letters/number. The stamped sentiment is by Cardz TV Stamps and the stitched dies are by MFT.

 I took really quick pictures rather than pulling out the light box, but I plan on setting it back up today. I need to put away a bunch of stamps and get organized. Feeling good and productive!

Enjoy your weekend,

Boys Love Their Tractors

Hello Crafty Friends,

Happy April! Thanks for stopping by on this super Sunday. Our Spring Break Cruise was amazing (I am just getting back into the swing of things), Prom 2016 was last night at Epcot and everyone looked FABULOUS, and  next weekend is my daughter's 18th birthday. WOW! So much going on...sure keeps us busy!

I made this birthday card for a special country boy. He loves the farm and tractors.

I found the tractor at the Silhouette On-line store. Super easy to cut on the Cameo and assemble. The base card is 5.75 x 5.75, so the tractor is a good size. A few balloons to make it festive and kids love to see their names on a card.

Hope you have a great day...whatever you have planned!

Stay Creative,

Georgiana

Going for a Tractor Ride

Hello Crafty Friends,

 

Welcome back and thanks for stopping by!

Yesterday was a productive day...our cable/internet/phone service was out for half the day; therefore, I spent my time focused on crafting and not reading (or surfing) on the computer. Wow! I need to turn off the computer and more work will get accomplished.

 

I was asked to make a birthday card for a little boy (pronounced Jobe) who loves tractors. My first thought was John Deere and the colors green and yellow. Plus, every tractor has to have enormous wheels!

I used the following sketch from Mojo Monday. What a fun layout!

I was trying to add some stitching around the edges and the thread came undone (the sewing machine and I are still trying to get to know each other), but I didn't notice until I had part of one side stitched. After examining the edge, I decided I liked the look and continued around the entire border. I also discovered a trick how to keep my lines straight. Now I am feeling confident to do some more stitching on my cards! I told you it was a productive day!
