Gift Card Wristlet

Went to my sister's graduation last night - I am so proud of her! Going back to school and getting her degree.

I gave her multiple gift cards to various stores and needed a holder for them. Since I had made one like this a couple months back for my Aunt I had 15 mins to spare and created this one.

Accent Essentials cartridge used to cut out the flap, button from my stash, velcro dot for the enclosure and ribbon from Wal-Mart for the handle.

Cuttlebug Spot Challenge - Anniversary Card

This week the task (challenge #34) was to create an Anniversary card. How fitting as I needed to make a 25th card!

Since 25th anniversaries are silver I used silver mettalic card stock from Michael's. These mettalics are stunning. The bottom edge was done with a wonderful punch from Martha Stewart. Three Cuttlebug folders used on this card, flowers and birds, swiss dots and the heart from the To/From set.
(I did this twice and raised the accent with foam squares.
Stampin' Up ticket punch used through out the card to edge the corners. Coluzzle used to cut the ovals and some bling in the corners.

Bridal Shower card

Here is another Bridal Shower card I need for tomorrow. I used the Cricut Wild Card cartridge for the base card at 5"(called a doily) which I ran through the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder.

Accent strip in red 1" was punched using Martha Stewart border punch. Pearls from Michaels accent the border piece as well.

Rose was cut at 5" also on the Wild Card cartidge - which I cut 5 times to be able to layer the flower and leave sections. Inked and pop dot up for dimension.

Sentiment - computer generated and mounted on red cs and I used the Stampin' Up ticket punch on the corners.

Wedding shower card

I have a wedding shower to go to on Sunday. I knew the time was slipping away from me - so I spent some time after dinner last night making this card.

The bridemaids dresses are red so that was my base to start. I used the Cuttlebug Swiss Dot Embossing folder on the base cs.

The wedding couple is from the Cricut Wild Card cartridge cut at 4" true dial size.

The border punch is from Martha Stewart



The sentiment is from the dollar bin at Michael's I picked up years ago.
Oh - the dress is from The Paper Company that I bought at ACM - as soon as I saw it - I knew it would be incorporated in the shower as well as the wedding cards.


I'll finish the inside and post later.
