January Card Swap-"Sprinkled with Fun!"

Good day to you all, I have a card to share with you today. I am meeting with my card swap group on Wed. and our theme for the month of January was Birthday cards.  I love it because my Birthday is in January on the 19th to be exact.  

I made my card with my new Christmas present a Cricut Explore Air! I am still learning all the tricks to it, but it has been fun so far.  

This picture shows both the outside and inside of my cards. I don't normally put anything on the inside so that the ladies I swap with can put what they want inside when they give it to someone. But the outside doesn't actually say "Happy Birthday" so I wanted to put it inside. 

I used the Sweet Treats Cricut cartridge for the sentiment and the cupcake is from the

 Once Upon a Princess cartridge.   I used Picked Raspberry, Peacock Feathers, and Spiced Marmalade Distress Inks for all of the shading on my paper.   The background is from a We R Memory Keepers Chevron Embossing folder that I used in my Cuttlebug.  I used my ATG Gun and the Tombow Mono Multi Glue for adhesive except for the cupcake which is popped up with some Mounting Foam.  I used Multi Medium Matte to adhere the sequins that came from Pretty Pink Posh.  To add some shimmer I used the Clear Wink of Stella brush pen on the words and cupcake. I also used some Diamond Stickles on the cupcake sprinkles. 

Here are some close-ups of the front of my card and the inside sentiment. 

Thank you so much for taking a look at my work. I hope you like it and that it inspires you to create some fun Birthday cards to share also.

Tombstone Treat Boxes!

I have some fun Tombstone Boxes to share with you today that are perfect for some yummy little treats, or just decoration! 

For this first one the box, skull and name came from the Happy Hauntings Cartridge. 

I used Memento Grape Jelly to shade around the name, Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink for shading around the skull and Black Soot Distress Ink to shade the tombstone.  I popped up the skull with some foam adhesive and used a white gel pen for the definition around the tombstone. 

This box was also cut with the Happy Hauntings cartridge. I used some Memento Grape Jelly Ink for the shading. I stamped the sentiment and spiders in Versamark ink and then heat embossed them with some black embossing powder from Stampendous.  The stamp sets used were Perfect Fit-Halloween from Close to My Heart and the spider came from the My Pink Stamper Spookalicious stamp set. 

Thank you for stopping by today, happy crafting!

Halloween Monster Treat Bag

Hello my friends!  Today I am sharing with you a fun Halloween Monster Bag that you can fill with all kinds of goodies or trinkets and give to your friends or family!  These are a lot of fun to make and I think they turn out quite cute!

 The Mini-Monsters cartridge was used to cut the bag. I used Bazzill Black Licorice and Marshmallow cardstocks, I think the stars paper is from Doodlebug but I don't remember- it was in my scrap stash.  I shaded the edges with Black Soot Distress Ink and added some dark purple ribbon for a handle (you just can't see it very good in the picture). Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue was the adhesive for this project. Just add a bag of goodies and tie it with some purple tulle and you're done!

Thanks for visiting today!

Lots of Birthday Goody Bags!

Hello to all of my crafty friends, I will be sharing with you in the next few posts about some fun Birthday Goody Bags that I have made for my Relief Society sisters. In my ward they called me to the position of "The Birthday Girl". This means I am in charge of making sure all of the Women in my ward receive a little something for their Birthday. In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints we all have different jobs to do that we don't get paid for, we give of our time and talents freely to better serve the kingdom of God. 
 I just received this call about a month or so ago and so I got to work right away. It is amazing to me how many Birthdays there are everyday. I thought for the first year in this calling I would make something pretty easy to put together so I could get them their gifts quickly. Here are some of the first batch that I have made:

Here is the list of supplies I used, I get a lot of supplies from Simon Says Stamp

Stamps came from CTMH, Stampin' Up, My Pink Stamper, Fiskars,

Masculine Card for this month's card swap!

Good crafty day to you all, I want to share with you the card I made for my card swap group that met last night. Our theme this month was masculine to help us get ready for Father's day coming up.  

I have to admit I hate making masculine cards, they are so hard for me because I am just a girly girl and like all the glitter and embellishments. And I love pink and bright colors.  

I'm not sure how I feel about this card, the other ladies liked it though. Let me know what you think of it, I would love to hear your feedback. Well onto the card:

Supplies:

Tim Holtz "Life's Possibilities" stamp set
