A CAS(E) Birthday Card

I made a simple birthday card for my mom following along with this weeks CAS(E) sketch.

I wanted to make the butterfly look more dimensional, so I print-and-cut two sets of butterflies, attached them at the body, then added a pop dot to make one of the wings stick out more.  

The Sketch!

Another Christmas Card

This card follows along with the simplicity theme I've been enjoying lately.  The card was designed with Make-the-Cut and Lettering Delights Nordic Christmas svg files.  It was printed out then layered on top of the card with a red layer.  I added some Want2Scrap bling in the corners for some shine.

I'm entering this card in two challenges.  The Jingle Belles Scandinavian Challenge's criteria was to make a card using the color red. I also stuck to their Scandinavian inspiration.

Alway's Playing With Paper's Merry Monday challenge is to use birds in your Christmas card. 

Wedding Card

One of my cousin's is getting married this weekend and I wasn't able to attend. My brother is going and I sent along this card for my cousin and his new wife.



I used a Lettering Delights file for the dark blue background and coated it in Tattered Angels glitter paint. That really doesn't show up. It's subtle but adds a nice glimmery touch. The greeting on the outside is from a rub-on set. It's raised off the card with dimensional sticker squares. I don't trust my Cricut to do print and cut with MTC, so I shall wait for my new cutter to do that sort of thing.



This is the inside. I'm almost certain I used a Lettering Delights font for the greeting.

Waterfall Cards

I made waterfall cards for a couple of birthdays that are coming up next weekend. The first is for a little boy's first birthday. The second for my sweet-loving mother-in-law. All the images were cut from Lettering Delights sets.

Cupcake Toppers + Freebie!

Today I made some cupcake toppers for Halloween. They're not quite finished because I discovered that I didn't have any toothpicks or skewers to attach them to. The inspiration for this project came from Getting Cricky's Simply Sunday Challenge in which we were to make a fall treat craft. I have plans later this month to make some cupcakes and thought this would be a nice touch.


The circle and star shapes came from MTC shape files and the font was one that came with my computer. You can download this file below. It's in MTC format. The bat is a Lettering Delights simple shape file and the ghost came from the web.

Jingle Belles Peace Challenge

The theme for this weeks Jingle Belles challenge is Peace on Earth. We are required to incorporate either a peace sign or the word Peace into our holiday card.

I stamped and embossed the background and the lettering. The bird is from a Lettering Delights SVG file.

Halloween ATCs

Halloween is the one holiday that I don't really do any crafting for. I love Halloween, I guess I just never found a reason to make crafts related to the holiday. Kristal over at Getting Cricky posted her Simply Sunday challenge last week to make something Halloween related. I wanted to enter and decided on a shaped ATC since they can be quick to do and I hadn't done much crafting lately. So I made one. Then I decided a whole series was in order. Though one gravestone alone is very spooky, it still needs more. For the cards I used Lettering Delights shaped files. They all measure to the correct dimensions of an ATC... 3.5"x2.5".



In case you're having trouble reading them, they each say

And no, I didn't come up with these myself. I pulled them from the web here.
