Happy Birthday-Practical Scrappers DT Project

Hi Krafters,

Today over at Practical Scrappers we are celebrating birthdays! There are so many different styles of cards. I don't know about you, but can't you use more card ideas; especially birthday cards. Go check them out! My card was lifted from Jess Larsen. I really like the simplicity of it, but it has a little something that makes it special with the ability to be interactive. She used a die. I made a cut file using Make the Cut. I fussy cut the images from the DCWV Celebrations Stacks and the sentiment. I also used a Cuttlebug birthday embossing folder for the front. To finish off the card, I used Tendy Twine and used a button on my stash.

It is short and sweet today! I hope you enjoyed today's project. Remember to visit Practical Scrappers for more inspiration. Krafthead~

 

Happy To Be Your Boy

Hello Krafters!

Today is the last day of the Father's Day dedication week. I am sharing a VERY simple Father’s Day card I made for DH to give to his dad. When I saw this stamp with the handshake, I thought of my FIL so I had to use it. My father-in-law is as simple as they come! He is not a very sentimental guy at all. I did not want to over embellish or put too much into it. Thanks for stopping by, Krafthead~

Hi Krafters!

Did you know PC provided free files for Father’s Day in CCR? I am not sure if they will still be free by the time this posts, but it was really nice of them J I decided to use one of these files for a quick card. My pastor is a golfer (who knew) and so this image was perfect for him! It took less than 10 minutes to put together. As the image was cutting on the Cricut, I was cutting out the frame using my Grand Calibur. I painted the shape with black Gesso and let it dry. Once it was dry, I rubbed some Inka Gold over it. I embossed the mat with an embossing folder and wrapped twine around it. I added the image to the frame. Viola, instant card!

Thank you all so much for stopping by, Krafthead~

**You could always cut the sentiment off and make it into a birthday card!

Guest Designer-Exploring Cricut

Happy Monday Krafters!

I am so happy to share this project with you all! Today I am a guest designer for Exploring Cricut; WOOOHOOO! What an honor and a privilege! I would like to thank Diane for allowing me to be featured on her blog!

The theme for week at Exploring Cricut is birthday. The challenge was to use blue, white, green, red and yellow only! I have to admit, it was a challenge. Since my cousin’s birthday is coming up, I thought a gearing this card for her would be right on!

This project made me laugh because every “birthday” themed pattern paper I had included orange! BUT my Imagine came to the rescue J I printed the patterns from Blast Off, Hopscotch and Kate’s Kitchen. As the patterns were printing, I used Cricut Craft Room to design cuts for the card. I used Craft Room Basics for the oval. The ovals were embossed using the Happy Birthday Cuttlebug Embossing Folder. The cupcake, balloons, hat and swirly was cut from the Celebrations cartridge. The banner was cut using Girl’s Make-up Party.

On the cupcake, I used white Puffy Paint. Once dried, I added a little bling for the sprinkles. I also added Puffy Paint to the bottom of the party hat and used a pom-pom for the top.

To finish the outside of the card, I used twine to “tie” the balloons together. The sentiment was handwritten and a button was added (to cover up a booboo lol). A little faux stitching was just what this card needed.

In the inside (not pictured) I added a little more of the pattern paper and a few cuts.

I hope you enjoyed today’s project. Again, thank you for stopping by. Please stop by Exploring Cricut and follow along with the challenge. Be encouraged, Krafthead~

10 Minutes or Less Birthday Card~

Hey Krafters!

This past weekend, I put myself on a challenge. My cousin turned one on Saturday and I did not make her a card! I literally had 15 minutes before I had to be out of the door. I remembered on the invitation, there was a cupcake. With only that design element in mind, this is what I came up with! I even had a couple minutes to spare ;-)

I used the Yummy Imagine cartridge for the pattern papers and the cupcake. In the banner I stamped her name in the circles using Studio G stamps from Michael’s dollar spot. If I had more time, I would have done something different. However, I think it turned out well….even with all of the business of the patterns. Thanks for stopping by, Krafthead~
