Swing (Flip Flop) Birthday Card



I just had to try this SCS card tonight. Here is where the idea and credit goes to: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ee/index.php/resources/tutorials/swing_flip_flop_card/

Here is my version.

Wooden Gift Bag



I bought this wooden gift bag at M's last night. Just couldn't wait to alter it. All cuts were from GS Cricut cartridge.


Altered Watering Can


Picked up these at M's last night and just had to alter them. Button, ribbons and CS.

Spiral Pop up Card



I made this for a Cricut Fairy Card Mission on the MB. It is for a member who is in the hospital.

The idea is from SCS weekly newlestter - by Corinne Somerville http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/spiral_pop_up_card/

I will make more -but will make the inner circle cut larger to then have a larger spiral.

I use MS butterfly punch - just love that punch. Antother MB enabler just made me buy it [giggle].

Fluffles holiday Card


I bought this stamp at Michael's tonight and immediately came home and created the card… still going to tweak it as far as the LO. But this is what I’ll be making for some of the cards I send this year. Will probably add some ribbon.

Birthday round spin card



We are taking my MIL out to eat (all her children and spouses) this Sunday for her 75th B-day. I used a Coluzzle cutting template to make this card. Love it! Each spin of the card reveals a different stamped image.

Get Well Wishes



Two folks I know need a little boost this week. I made these cards using SU punches.

Holiday - stocking stuffers


These are made using a short stack of 2" x 2" post-it-notes and a binder ring.
Top embellishments are from JOTS Cricut cartridge and the snowflake is one from a large punch I got from a catalog. (no name)
Hope you enjoy!









1) cut a piece of card stock 4 1/4" x 2"
2) score each short end at 2" (You end up what looks like a book cover w/a spine)
3) lie a small stack of 2 x 2 sticky notes inside
4) fold cover over and take your crop-a-dile and punch a hole in the upper left corner
5) insert a binder ring
add various ribbons to the ring and decorate the cover

Cute gift or stocking stuffer


I was reading the Cricut MB last evening and it led me to youtube. Somehow I ended up on some awesome tutorials by a SU consultant Chic'nScratch. This idea goes to credit of this creative individual. I just tweeked the original video I saw and just had to make these cute Post It Notes key rings gifts! These are the results of a few minutes of quick creations. Nothing elaborate - but wicked fun! I'll be posting the ones I make for Christmas gifts for my family in the next post.

If you buy 2 x 2 sticky note pads - here is how I did it:
1) cut a piece of card stock 4 1/4" x 2"
2) score each short end at 2" (You end up what looks like a book cover w/a spine)
3) lie a small stack of 2 x 2 sticky notes inside
4) fold cover over and take your crop-a-dile and punch a hole in the upper left corner
5) insert a binder ring
add various ribbons to the ring and decorate the cover
