D. Villains: Ursula

I used my Silly for this and a lot and I mean a lot of time sizing and cutting this image for a card.  Once finished though, I had no real idea of what sort of card to make this into.  Get well soon?  Halloween?  It has gone into blank card pile to be used for a later date and time.  I do so love this card front but I just haven't found the right sentiment for this card, at least not yet.

I'm hopeful to get all of the Disney Women Villains

Oh Baby! More baby cards.........

More onesie baby cards.  Enough said.

Pinwheels of Sentiments

It's been quite the time inbetween updates.  Never fear for I have some new cards to post and plenty of gossip to talk about.  And there is plenty to talk about......trust me I know.  I've been in the trenches and bot it is a harsh trench it is.

Anyhow, here are a couple of cards that I made way back in the day and have no idea what the insides of the cards say since it was that long ago.  Hence the Pinwheels of sentiments.  I'm pretty sure that I had planned to post a lot sooner than I am now but that isn't neither here or there.  Oh boy, it sounds like I'm talking like Dr. Suess, jeez that can't be a good sign.

So I used my Mother's Day card for these cards and speaking of that, I have some mothers to make some cards for,  Man how the time flys.  Anyway, back to the cards.  I used the cricut cart and then just cut the leaf design out over and over and over again until I was happy with size and pedal number, punched a circle and moved on to the next part stamping.  I had been trying to do more of it but boy is it hard to do.  A lot more involved that I thought it would be.

Gooey Monsters

So working on a card for my niece I came across a dingbat font that had monsters as the letters.  I found this guy and started manipulating it to be the right size and getting the layers to show up the right way.  I think found another font for the Boo! and used that along with Arial as the black letters.

Simple as that.....

Halloween Cards

Halloween!  My most favorite holiday of the year, Dia de Los Muertos being the second favorite.  So I had started out thinking that I would make a card for my niece since she hasn't been doing all that great with her treatment but it turned out to be so much more.  I started with the cut files that I got when I found some freebies on Letter Delights website.  From there I spent way too much time trying to figure out the right size so that it would cut and not rip the paper or better yet not cut at all.

The first photo is of the card that I am sending niece, the second was supposed to go to my other niece but I decided to keep it and make her something else.  The last one I used a cut from the baby cards that I made and then adding a spider ontop of the onsies.  I may send this card to her, it's not like she will take notice anyway since Paige is 2, not exactly an age that is known for them remembering things.

Baby Time!

 

As you can see I have been in a baby making card mood.  I had this idea and it ran off and became something much  larger than I had thought it would be.  So what was the idea that had me in a fight?  Clothes pins, mini clothes pins.  I saw these mini clothes pin at the scrapbook conventiton that I went to this summer.  I saw them and immediately knew that I had to get them and make a card with them.  This card is probably going to require special postage but I think it is well worth the money.

Texas........Big Sky Country Stationary Set

I think out of all my cards that I have recently posted this one is a favorite.  Living in Texas you find out that people are Texas bred and Texas proud.  This card is part a set of cards that I made for a stantionary set.  I have 11 cards and one box that I am going to decorate using some paint and some other things.

I have a few other states that I am going to try my hand at but if they don't work out the stanionary kit will be a Texas set of cards.

To make this I had to sort through a dingbat font and then I used my Silly to cut the shape in red, white and blue and then adding a star.  It actually isn't a hard project it just takes some time to make sure that you get the cuts correct since you don't want the flag to be incorrect which it can be if you don't pay attention.

So what I did was cut out red, white and blue texas shapes from there I used a ruler and craft knife to cut up the shapes.  From there I mounted everything to the white background and then added a star in the blue section as there is supposed to be.  I had a hard time trying to decide if I wanted the star to but shaped like the state or if I wanted it to look as it does above.  I picked option B and I must say it looks pretty darn awesome!

Now to move onto the box to put thsese in.

Hexagonal Peacock Woman

Here is one of my cards using the Mica paints that I have fallen in love with.  The paper is from a stack I got at Hobby Lobby and the stamp is from Stampland, from the stamp convention.  I first cut out the hexagons, which I got from my library on the Silly then I stamped the woman on it after laying out the hexagons.  From thiere I just painted over the stamped woman and let it dry.  I was going to emboss it but at the time I didn't have any baby wipes to clean the stamp with.  I have them now and I just haven had the chance to do the stamping again.

Merry and Bright

Here is the first Christmas card of the season for me.  I have loved this stamp so much that I am simply itching to paint it with different colors.

Vampire Snow White

As you can see I've made Snow White look like a vampire.  I thought it was a perfect mood setter for this Halloween.  Instead of an apple I put a bat although I could have used the apple but I decided not to.  I backed this card with some Martha Stewart Halloween paper which was tombstones.

I'm getting better with the lettering delight cuts and using my Silly.  Now if I could just figure out how to use SVG cuts on my machine.  I think it may be a buy the software either way just one was is different than the other.  Just not sure what to think on a whole about that.

I do so love Snow White....and her face was white as snow.

Halloween Kyoto Kutie #2

This is the second version of my Kyoto Kutie that I did for Halloween.  I used my Silly of course to do all the cutting for me, but I found this nice background image in my massive amount of cuts that I have for my Silly.  The inside is basic though since the front is so involved.  As you can see I put a spider web on the bun this time, I think it looks cool but I could see it looking like a hair net as well.....

Here's the inside of the card.

I just loved the paper that I used on the first card that I used it on the second card as another background and as the kimono for the Kutie to wear.  Now what to make on a rainy Saturday afternoon while football is on?

Kyoto Kuties

Before

So I have recently become obessed with the web sites Under a Cherry Tree and Lettering Delights.  On there I have found many a cutie files that are so not me.  Anyway, this is one of the products of said websites.  Kyoto Kuties was a free down load from Under a Cherry Tree and I couldn't help but to make one of them before moving on to personalizing thing buggers....they will so not be the Kuties that they started out to be.

After

I made this a Halloween based Kutie, I wanted to use a different paper in the background but I thought the bat main section limited my choices.  I know next time to use something else and also use spiderweb in the hair.



Get Well Soon Princess

So here's the card that I made my other niece since she hasn't been feeling all that well lately so I thought I would send her a card along with her sister's so that she would get a smile out of it.  It's another princess this time Tiana, had to look that one up since I couldn't remember it off the top of my head.  I do remember Madelyn wearing this same outfit in one of the photos from Disney.

I promised Madelyn a card with pink and purple, I wasn't too sucessful on the purple but I got the pink and I know she'll like the princess. 

Cut from Lettering Delights, font from dafont.com.

Happy Birthday Paige!



 What is there to say about this cute little, okay not so little card that I made for my niece for her birthday?  Not much besides, isn't it cute?!  I picked this little princess up at Lettering Delights, and got a whole collection of Princesses which I can now play with, I must say that Snow White was by far my favorite.  So I went with that for a birthday card front.  She had an apple in which she was holding but I changed that to a number 2 instead since it is a her 2nd birthday.  I got the font of course from dafont.com fitting for a Disney themed birthday card.  Now to make another one for the other niece, can't have one get something without the other.  Who to make, who to make?

It will be late but it was made with lots and lots of lub (love)  Happy Birthday Paige!

Witches Brew Halloween Card

It's the most wonderful time of the year, now most would think that it is winter and Christmas but I would have to disagree with them.  Fall is the most wonderful time of the year, it's that time of the year where summer has ended and College Footbal begins and Halloween time is here!  Two of my most favorite things in the world.

Now with that statement being shared I made this card with the thought of a shop store front on Diagon Alley in the Harry Potter books, I think I did a pretty good job but there are some thing I think I might change if I try this card again.  Overall an awesome Halloween card. 

Now off to make a birthday card for Paige.

Dancing to say Hello Card

I made this card fror my Gram and I thought it was pretty neat how it turned out.  Must better than planned that is for sure.  I've used my new technique of running cut through the Xyron and then putting glitter on aftewards.

Jeez!  I'm kind of hungry....

Thanks Dress Silhouette Card

So as you can notice I am on a roll with this "genre" of card making for the time being.  There is just something about the image that makes you want to make a bunch of cards with it.  This of course used the Silly and I got these quick sayings on circles on clearance so I used one of those on this card.  I challenged myself to use a Graphic 45 paper with this card and I think I did pretty well considering a dress doesn't go with much unless it's something dealing with fashion.

It's the Small Things Steampunk Card

So I had this template that I wanted to use, as you can tell by the other postings, and I was too lazy to hand cut it out of card stock so instead I imported to the Silly and then cut it from there.  Anyhoo here is my ode to Steampunk, the famous wings on a dress form.  I had some stickers hanging around and the one that I found that seemed right for this card is the saying "it's all about the Little Things".

So I cut out the image with black card stock and then dry embossed the top half and then colored it in so that it popped out at you.  I used some of Hambly Studio paper, still sad they are no longer in business, for the skirt and then used a teal diamond pattern paper as the background and cut out yellow wings to coordinate together with everything else on the card.

Birthday Dress Card

I must said I am most proud of this card for the moment since it took a lot of work to create the dress on the outside.  I had to break out the Silly for the dress outside then I had to use my most hated item that I have...glitter, and then I used cake doilies to make up the bottom half of the dress.  The paper on the front is flocked so it pulls in nicely all the different textures that are in play in this card.  The inside I made a big effort to use another piece of the paper from the outside but also use the color of the glitter into the inside of the card.  From there I just picked a font and a quote and printed it out on the printer.  Oh!  And cover up the top of the last doily I used a piece of silver ribbon.  I plan on making a couple of these, maybe just in smaller sizes, the big one was nice but I can do more with a smaller image.

Keep you Chin up Birthday Card

I made this card intending on giving it to a good friend at work, but for some reason I just couldn't part with this card.  Maybe it is the fact that Young Sir is the dog in the photo but I just couldn't part with it.  So instead I made him a different card, which I so totally didn't take a photo of, however I managed that, and kept this one.

I evem managed to do this whole card without the help of a machine.  Well the printer but that doesn't count since it was used to print the picture out with.
