Wavy Bloom D1651 and Blossom Paper Pack

I love the new Seasonal Inspirations 2 idea book.  It has things that make you very happy in it.  I have fun shading in the flowers for Wavy Bloom D1651 from page 12.  I used the Blossom Paper pack and backed it with Black and Chrystal Blue and place it on a Daisy White card.  I use some Washi Tape from my stash folded it in half to make it thinner and made some tails too.

The flower is stamped in Black then the fun begins.  I use our ShinHan markers Light Orange, Pastel Green, Marigold.  On the leaf I used Leaf Green, Sap Green.  I cut it out and shaped it then I used a glue dot to attach it to the card.  I used the Bling Gold Gem in the center of the flower.  I stamped the sentiment in Black and it was done.  This was a fun and fast card and as you can see you could make it too.

Artfully Sent for Easter

I was getting some cards ready for the Grand kids and I started pulling up the Easter cards in the Artfully Sent Cricut cartridge.  There are quite a few so I started with this one on page 41 it is the Happy Easter Sentiment card code #M100C45 if you have an Explore.  I also cut the Decorative piece from page 54 of Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge to go on the inside to cover up the opening.  I colored the Happy Easter with our ShinHan twin touch makers.  Then I added the tic marks around the edge with our Le Pen and added some Ribbon and bling.

I use the Hopping By D1633 stamp set because all my grand kids love to color so this stamp set is perfect for them. They can color it all in and I am sure they will.  You can see it on page 25 of the Seasonal Expressions Catalog.  This catalog is only available until March 31,2015.  So if you see something you want you will need to order it before then.  But not to worry we have another Seasonal Expressions 2 starting April 1st, 2015.  Of course our Annual Inspiration catalog is still good until Aug 31, 2015.

Don't forget that when you order be sure to Join in on the Fundraiser for the Relay for Life Clayton and I will donate 20% of what I make in sale for this great cause. 

Artfully Sent Fall Card Multipul Pages

Well It was only a matter of time before I had to make it my own.  This card uses several different cuts from several different cards on the Artfully Sent Cricut cartridge.
I love the birch tree looking card.  It is on page 5 > sleeve.  The Bunny and the Deer are from page 12 > Icon, I copy and pasted it so I would have 2. The Bird and the Mat are from page 47 > Icon.  I wrote Welcome Fall with my Explore and colored in with our ShinHan touch Twin markers in the fall colors.  I sponged the mat with Pacifica ink. I drew the eye, wing, and tail feathers on the bird in black

I placed a Pacifica piece of cardstock on the inside for the background.  I cut 2 of the Deer and Bunny one in Daisy White and one in Champagne I colored the eyes and ears on the Daisy White one and then layered it under the Champagne this way the white dots and the pink ears would show up better. I used Peacock Green, Vivid Green, Sap Green to color in the grass under them.

Keep checking back I have a lot more planned.

Artfully Sent Candy Corn Kisses

Here is another fast and fun card from the Z3017 Artfully Sent Cricut cartridge.  This one is from page 44 it is one of Sentiment cards.  I could not resist using the ShinHan Touch Twin markers on this one.  I used the Marigold and Golden Yellow on a piece of Daisy White cardstock that I put on the inside of the card.  The minute I took this card off the mat it screamed the Z1988 Black Striped Twill Ribbon on one side or the other.  The bats were from another project and just laying on my table so I stuck them one and it made me smile.  I also stuck on one the inside too!

Z3017 Artfully Sent Trick or Treat Card

I love the Trick or Treat Card that Close to My Heart has on our website so I wanted to make one too.
I cut it using Z3017 Artfully Sent Cricut cartridge and our Fundamentals Paper Pack that have a shiny embossed side and the back side is a matching mat side.  This one is the Black with the Chevrons on it.
This is what it looks like after you cut it out.

The inside is the Black and White Chevrons.  I used our Z1928 Teal Shimmer Ribbon and the scraps I had left over from the X7185B Scaredy Cat Paper Pack and a piece Z5772 Canary cardstock.  I like how it looks.

On the inside I stamped the pumpkin from B1453 Frightfully Fun in Autumn Terracotta .  I stamped the happy haunting in Gypsy at an angle (not what I meant to do) so I stamped the Trick or Treat in Black at an angle too! It didn't look right so I added one more stamp frightening fun in Canary.  Not to bad for a mistake! In this picture you can see the other side of the Fundamentals black cardstock. I cut and piece of Daisy White cardstock for each side on the inside.

I colored in the pumpkin with Marigold and Light Orange ShinHan Touch-Twin Markers.
Thanks for stopping by.

Cricut Explore, How Cool Is It?

Well let me tell you!  My grandmother would have said "It is the best thing since sliced Bread!" and is it ever.
I had a customer Brenda that was telling me about a card that she made and how much she liked it.  I asked her if she would like to share it by being my Guest Designer for class this month and she was excited to do so.
Brenda came prepared with everything cut out and ready to go and told everyone that they would have to stamp and then cut out the Hot Air Balloon.  Everyone groaned and started in with I hate to cut things out.  So I scanned it and imported it into my Explore and by the time she had everything passed out I had a perfect hot air balloon cut out and ready for them to stamp on. Thanks to my Cricut Explore.  How cool is that!
Here is her card and the cut-out.

I used our new ShinHan twin touch alcohol markers to color in the hot air balloon.
I love how our new marker work they are the best.  They go on so smooth and easy!  No streaks and boy was this a fun card to make.
Thanks Brenda what a great card you came up with.
Thanks for the challenge under pressure to make the balloon a cut-out!!!

Frightfully Fun Halloween Card

Here is a card that I made for a Class of First time card makers.  I love being able to show what I love to do with someone who has never made their own card before.  With our new ShinHan twin touch alcohol markers coloring is even easier and faster than ever before.  I was not sure how I would like our new markers but I can tell you first hand that you are going to love them.  Just try one and you will be hooked.
