Silly Girl...

I know it's silly, but I had another one of my cards re-pinned today...<smile>...that makes 2.

What a fun journey :) 

Thanks for joining me!

Final Dream Pop Days

Well, it's here...the last day of the Dream Pop campaign (although if you contact me we can still get the Dream Pop paper - I think for 5 days). Same with the May Stamp of the Month, Pinwheel!
While I still have plenty paper to make more projects...time is basically out.
I used the pink glossy striped Dream Pop cardstock for the background layer then used a strip from the gold birdcage patterned paper. And of course, more pinwheels. These I die cut on the Cricut and then stamped with Versamark and embossed!  I layered the pinwheels with a brad and added a saying from the zip strip. Enjoy today's card!

Dream Pop Father's Day Card

This card is one of the last Dream Pop cards I will post for the May Dream Pop Campaign. 

It's a Father's Day Card, using the Perfect Fit-Frames 2 on a die cut made with the Cricut Artiste Cartridge. The Dad stamp is Studio G, stamped with Outdoor Denim ink.

I used Versamark Ink and Silver Embossing Powder on the stamped frame.    I LOVE being able to stamp the die cuts and the shapes match exactly to the stamps. That's just as much fun as using Spellbinders. :)

The green Dream Pop paper has a glossy raised diamond cut pattern that pairs nicely with the green and gray tree patterned paper. I added grey Baker's Twine (also available from CTMH) and it is ready!

  
 
 UPDATE:   
I decided it was too plain...so I 'boy bling"-ed it up! (Square blingies from Michael's are apparently "boy bling" LOL! 
 
What do you think?
I like it MUCH better!


Thanks for looking!

Dream Pop Ending

Dream Pop Paper will soon be a memory...
 just 3 more days to order.  

I LOVE the Dream Pop Paper, and still have quite a bit left to make more stunning cards. The paper itself drove my designs for these 2 lovely cards!

I used the Cricut Artiste Cartridge to cut the butterflies and the scalloped border on the second card is a ropy border also found on the Artiste cartridge.

These cards also feature a sneak peak of a stamp from the June SOTM, A Flowering Bunch, stamped on both with Sunset Exclusive Ink.

I layered the patterned paper on top of the dotted cardstock, and added glitter glue to the butterflys, some of the paper, and highlighted the stamp with the same. 

The ribbon is actually a sheer light orange, although it looks a little bit yellow.

If you can't live without the Dream Pop paper, consider hosting a quick on-line party through my Online Business Address! I can help you get this LUSCIOUS paper before its gone!

Later Sk8r and Mojo Monday MOJO295

My First Mojo Monday entry...inspired by the gears I've been using all weekend.

Today's sketch gives a choice between round and square.  Because I've been using gears, I chose round. Go figure :).

So, using my Cricut Life's A Party cartridge, I cut a circle card. And then I used the CTMH Artiste cartridge to cut 4" gears in Outdoor Denim and Later Sk8r patterned paper.

The Father's Day and Dad stamps are non-CTMH. A brad and some grey baker's twine finished this off!

Thank you for looking. It's posted at

I really had fun and hope I stayed within the Mojo Monday rules...please let me know!

LaterSk8r Fun!!

This is what my table looks like right now...LOL!! 

You can see that some cards with STARS are coming up...I cut a bunch out (yes, using the Artiste Cartridge), now just need to stick them down!

In fact, the card on the table is a sneak preview of my Father's Day card. I can't post it yet for obvious reasons. 

 
I am still making Later Sk8r cards to build up my "man card" stash for the summer.  

Here are a few of the latest!

The supplies are still the same as in the earlier Later Sk8r posts...I just put it all together differently.

I'm still really liking the gear borders I cut on the Cricut using the Artiste Cartridge, but on these cards, I stacked them to make the patterned paper pop out a little.

I stamped the white gear with Lagoon Ink and a gear from the In Gear set. 
 
The Birthday sentiments on both cards are from the Perfect Fit-Birthday set.

The Outdoor Denim gear is stamped with Versamark ink, and heat-embossed with White embossing power.


Hope you are loving this paper as much as I have been!

Celebration!
