What's New...the World and a Hero

Hello Crafty Friends,

I just finished these two cards that I started last night and wanted to share right away. I bought a few new items from Amazon as New Year gifts to myself and was looking forward to using them (waiting for the mail was the hardest part). I have been admiring stitched dies for quite some time on so many different projects. Luckily, I found a circle set for a really good price. Oooh...I sure do like them! I now need to add the rectangle stitched set (it was sold out at Christmas, but I think it is finally back in stock).     

Here is my set of cards...

I used the Tuesday Morning Sketches layout for both cards.

I used two pattern papers (Me & My Big Idea) from my scrap box, two new products (Die-namics circle stitched die and We R Memory Keeper banner die), two different die-cuts (the globe is Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbon and the robot is Too Cute by Jessica), and two sentiments (World is computer generated and Hero is Jaded Blossom).

I added Denim Skittles by Carri to each card on the far right side.

Other Materials:

blue, green, black, orange, and white card stock

Versafine Black Onyx ink

Challenges:

Red Carpet Studio ~ Two Faces of January (Use 2)

My Time to Craft ~ Stripes

Hiding in My Craft Room ~ Super Scraps Saturday

Allsorts ~ New and Cute

Shopping Our Stash ~ Something New

Cute Card Thursday ~ What's New

Hope you have a fabulous week!

Stay Creative,

Another birthday card! I just can't have too many right now. I never seem to have enough, especially when my hubby asks me the same day he needs one. This year I am going to be prepared and have a few in the stash! How many extras do you typically keep?

Isn't this a sweet bear?

This bear is from Silhouette On-line store, but I altered it slightly by adding the present (cut from Birthday Cakes Cricut cartridge).

Twilight Skittles by Carri...easy to adhere and lightweight. Be sure to check out Carri's store for all the different colors.

Miss Kate Cuttables Design Team

Hello Crafty Friends,

I already made this announcement on Facebook, but wanted to share here too. I planned on posting this exciting news earlier today, but my hubby and I had to take an unexpected trip to pick up my son and his girlfriend from Georgia (that happened to be about an 11 hour round trip) because the truck they were traveling in broke down. Not exactly the way I planned to spend my last day of Winter Break, but you gotta' do what you have to do. 

I am very pleased to share that I am now part of the 2015 Miss Kate Cuttables Design Team. I am honored that I was selected to work with these fabulous svg files. They are super cute, easy to cut, and there is always a wide variety to chose from. Don't forget about the freebie each day!

I made this card yesterday...I used the Happy Frog file. 

I added large wiggly eyes.

Lettuce colored Skittles by Carri

Be sure to check the Design Team projects each day and grab the freebie while there.

Hope you have a great week!

Stay Creative,

January's "Anything Goes" Challenge at 3 Girl JAM

Hello Crafty Friends,

Welcome back for a new 3 Girl JAM monthly challenge. 

The Challenge...

Anything Goes with Ribbon

 Here is my Design Team project...

A pair of New Year's cards to celebrate 2015. 

The 3 1/2" card base was cut from Campin' Critters (sign feature, p. 26) and then the layers were cut smaller (3 1/4" and 3").

I used the Gold Crown crinkle ribbon from the Royal Bundle. The pennant was cut from the Wild Card Cricut cartridge (p.79) at 3" and the stamp is from the Jaded Blossom Miscellaneous Fun set. The inside says "Happy New Year" which was cut from Wild Card (p. 78) at 5 1/4".

I made another card slightly smaller and thought it would be perfect for a birthday.

Other Materials:

White and gold card stock

Foilicious paper

Versafine Black Onyx ink

Other Challenges:

PDE ~ Any Celebration

Simply Create Too ~ Let's Celebrate

Cute Card Thursday ~ Anything Goes

4 Crafty Chicks ~ Celebrations

Little Red Wagon ~ Happy New Year

Hope you will join us at 3 Girl JAM with your newest "Anything Goes" project.
