So with out further ado here is the project that I created for today!

I used the cricut to cut out the Flowers and the vase. They are cut at 3 inches. I just flipped the stem on one of them. Tie a little ribbon around the vase and added some glittery puff paint to the roses. 

Very fun but easy card to make. oh FYI: I used my xyron to help with adhering the roses together, made it so easy!

Here is the project that I created:

The Easel card is a great card to make because it has a natural display feature!

Recipe:
for Base: cut card stock @ 6 1/4 by 9
fold in half to create a top fold card and then score @ 2 1/4 from the bottom and fold to form "stand"

For front: cut a card stock @ 6 1/4 by 4 1/2
  Glue to the 2 1/4 part of the base aligning the tops.

The decorative papers are cut at 6 by 4 1/4
and 5 1/2 by 3 3/4

I used a pre-made tag enjoy tag and tied a ribbon to the opening

I put small white eyelets in the corners 

I add pre-cut fabric flower from memory makers and stick on gems
to add some piazza!

 The Inside I used some green card stock and a clear sticker also from memory makers.

Get Well Soon envelope card

Hi Everyone! I hope that this post finds you all doing good. My husband and I have been sick for the last week (he was worse than me) but we are starting to feel better now. I am glad too because now I can get back to my crafting. YIPPY!

Last week was not a terrible week as we welcomed two new babies to our family, A great nephew, Caden James, and a great niece, Alaya Naomi.

They were born just hours apart and that was very exciting! Both babies and mommies are doing great…

On a sadder note, my best friend's sister has a 1-month-old daughter and she is very sick right now with meningitis. She will have to be in the hospital for anywhere from 14-21 days. She is doing somewhat better as she receives IV's and they are trying to control her temperature. I decide to make her a get well soon card just to let them know that I am thinking of them and praying for her fast recovery.

I made a envelope style card with a paper band to keep it closed.

Here is what I came up with.

All of the papers are from Wal-mart Colorbok packs

The words were cut on the cricut at 3" cut to length

I used a paper band to hold the card shut and stamped Hello on it and added 2 white brads.
I hope that you enjoy! Thanks for stopping by! If you have any questions on how to make this type of card please let me know and I will try to help you as much as I can!

3-D Delia card

Hi Everyone!

I hope that you are all doing well. My foot is feeling better and I am excited to get back to my card making.

The project I have for you today is a 3-D Delia card that I made for my sister, who has been sick for the last couple of weeks. I found this card on YouTube, It would be hard for me to explain it as well as she does in the video so I have posted that for you here!

Here is my Card

 
I think it turned out pretty good for my first time making it. I hope that you would all give this a try, because it is not that hard. 


Have a wonderfully crafty day!

Happy New Year!

Hello everyone! I hope that this post finds you all well. I had a wonderful Christmas and I am looking forward to 2011. I have been a little under the weather the past week so sorry I haven't posted any new projects. Plus I thought that I had broken my foot but it is just badly sprained. Thank you God! 


So what are your Resolutions for the new year. I know that most people make them, and then break them but this year I have decided to use resolutions that I can achieve. I hope that you did too.

My resolutions for the new year are 

• Get organized
• declutter my house
• save money ( I can dream can't I) 
• lose a little extra baggage.

 Happy 2011 Everyone!

~Sarah
