Cupcake Cards

I love using my cricut machine.  A couple of months ago I got the Sweet Treats cricut cartridge, but I didn't use it till recently.  I made these cupcake cards for a couple people for their birthday.  I glittered the cherries and I used my cuttlebug embosser for some of the backgrounds.

Cars and Trucks

 Sorry I have not posted in a while.  We found out that we are pregnant!!!  We are very excited.  In the beginning I didn't feel well so I wasn't really crafting much.  Lately, I have been working on my scrapbooks.  These cards I made a while back, but I never got around to posting them.  I used the Denami cars and trucks trio set to make the back ground and the truck on the label.  I also used a Marvy scallop punch for the green circle and a random stamp I had for the happy birthday.  I ended up making a couple of these but with slightly different colors because I really liked the way they turned out.  They work great for a boy's birthday.

Mickey Birthday Card

This is a card I created for my Design Team tryout.  I used the Mickey and Friends Cricut cartridge to cut out the Mickey.  I used George and Basic Shapes Cricut cartridge to cut out the balloon and the number 7.  I don't know why I used the number 7.  I don't have anyone who is turning 7 soon.  I guess I will just save it for when I do.  There is an even red border around the whole card.  This is just not a very good picture.

Disney Cards

I am trying out for my local scrapbook store's Design Team.  My theme is Disney and I was so excited to get it.  Here are the 2 cards I have made so far for my portfolio.

 For the Cinderella card, I used my Cricut to cut out the carriage.  The cartridge is called "Happily Ever After".  I also used my cuttlebug to emboss the background.  I then embellished the carriage with glitter and Stickles.


This card was fun.  The white notecard pulls out so you can write a message on it or attach a gift card.  A great idea would be to put Disney tickets there if you were surprising someone with a trip.  I cut the Mickeys out with my Cricut.  I used the cartridge Mickey and Friends.

St. Patrick's Day

I normally do not make St. Patrick's Day cards, but I fell in love with this Denami stamp set that I couldn't resit.  I covered the chickies with Yellow Stickles.  The first card I made had the glitter ribbon, but I ran out, so I then used the green ribbon.  I thought they both turned out well.

Wedding Card

My friend is getting married in Feburary and her colors are red, black and white.  I got a Cuttlebug and some embossing folders for Christmas so I was very excited to use them.  The black paper is American Crafts black glitter paper.  To cut out the cake I used Cricut's Sweet Treats cartridge and Cuttlebug's D'vine Swirl embossing folder.  I have no idea where I got the stamp.  It was suppose to say "Congratulations", but when I stamped it, it said "A Celebration".  Luckily that worked for this card too.  Hopefully she will like the card.

Denami Halloween Cards

I decided to use my Denami stamps this year to create my Halloween cards.  I don't send cards out for every holiday, but Halloween is one of my favorites.


I used the Denami stamp "Trick or Treat Chickies".  I used the green rectangle marvy punch to punch the black background and the purple Marvy punch to punch out my stamp.  As you can see it was a perfect fit.  I love how Marvy made their punches to fit Denami stamps.  For the background on the green I used Versamark and Denami's "Halloween Stamp Set".
