House-Warming Card

Today I created a card for my sister and brother-in-law.  I wanted to create a house-warming card that could be something to be framed as well.  I found a design at American Crafts Studio and tweaked the dimensions to fit my needs.  The card base is very simple and will work for many different type of cards.

Anniversary Card - Black, White & Yellow

Happy Birthday - Female

Have you ever put something somewhere so you won't lose it?  Well this card has fallen into this unfortunate fate.  At least I took a picture of it, the inspiration for it came from a Mojo Monday sketch challenge.  I wanted something fun and busy.  Once I find the card I will take the measurements and post an update.  Hope you enjoy!

Happy Memorial Day!

Easter Surprise!

Good evening everyone!  

Today I tried my hand at a humorous Easter card for a friend. I wanted something a little different than the typical bunny or chick card.  I wanted to use my Crocs Rule cartridge and guess what I found, a croc in an egg shell.  I added the ears from Create a Critter 2 and we have a croc jumping out of an egg.

I used an Easter themed and green lattice paper for the background. I used the croc in egg as the main element.  I first cut out the egg too small, instead of tossing it, I decided to use it for the sentiment.  It sort of gives the croc a breaking out of the egg look.

Supplies

light lavender - A2 Card (5 1/2" x 4 1/4")

green lattice paper - 4" x 3"

Easter themed paper- 4" x 3.5"

croc in egg - Crocs Rule - cut at 3 with real dial size off - on two layers of foam tape

bunny ears - Create a Critter 2 - cut at 1.3 with real dial size off 

egg sentiment - Crocs Rule - cut at 2 with real dial size off - on one layer of foam tape
