Mom's Wild Card 08/17/11

My mom's 60th Birthday is next week and I've been wanting to make her a card.  Today, I finally decided to get her a Starbucks GC because she will never buy one herself, she doesn't buy herself treats very often.  (The last time I went out to visit her, I treated her to a Chai Tea Latte with Soy and she LOVED it!) 

For the card I used Kraft cardstock cut at 4.25 x 11".  I scored it at 3"and 7".  Then I cut 2" off of the 4" section between the 7" and 11" points.  I used the printed paper from DCWV's Safari Chic Matstack.  I wrote sentiment before adhering the top paper so I wouldn't waste any.  (I believe it was cut at 2.25" and I rounded the corners.) I cut more of the paper for the interior flap (holding the GC), but I cut it at about 2.5" and I used a border punch by EK Success (graduated triple dots) for the top of the printed paper.

This card is really simple, but I thought I would share it anyway. 

PS- Quick note, I decided the card front was too bland so I added "Cinnamon" Stickles in random dots to give it a little extra bling.

Mother's Day Card 2011

 The card base is Kraft card stock, final measurements are 4.25" 5.5".  I used the Mother's Day cart for my Cricut Expression to cut the flower at 3.5".  The circle stamps are from "Stampin" Up" and the "Happy Mom Day" is from Studio g clear stamps found at Michael's in the $1 bins.  I used "Worn Lipstick" Distress Ink for the stamps.  Unfortunately I didn't take a pic of the envelope I made and lined using the same paper as the flower, it was really cute!

Grandpa's Father's Day Card

Here is a simple card I made for my dad using my Cricut Expression and the Create a Critter Cartridge.  The cow/bull was cut at 3".  I used gold Stickles for the eyes and pink Stickles for his mouth as well as silver Stickles for the tail & horns.  Can you tell I like to add a little bling to my crafts?  LOL!  The card is 4.25" x 4.25" and I used my white gel pen to add faux stitching. Enjoy!

Robot Father's Day Card

Here is a Father's Day card I made for a contest held by Robyn from My Pink Stamper. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to enter the contest because I couldn't figure out how to upload my pic to this blog. The prize was a Cricut Expression from Provocraft, how cool, right? Nonetheless, I already have my Father's Day card all done for my DH! Enjoy.

The full card measures: 6.75" wide x 12" long.
I creased it at : 3" and 8" to cover the body of the card for presentation.
The robot paper came from DCWV's "All About Boys" paper stack.
The Robot was an SVG image I found and cut using SCAL at 3".
The font was used from SCAl too, but I don't remember the font name, sorry.
Enjoy.
