 I found this card in the Silhouette store.

 

The card measures 6.25" x 5" tall and folds fairly flat for mailing.

  

 

 I used Kraft paper for the card base and some scraps of yellow, blue and white for the Easter egg, sentiment and layers under the egg. I added some blue jewels to the edges.

The, "happy Easter" is a Cricut cut from the Easter 2010 cartridge.

The card base measures 6.25" wide x 5.5" tall and folds flat for mailing.

Pacific Time

It's Christmas in February

For some unknown reason I decided to work with a Christmas file this week, maybe because I really like this file.
 

 

You get 3 large and 2 small images of each saying for a total of 10 images on the page and you can print up as many as you need. These make really cute Christmas cards, I think that using them for a Christmas banner would also be really cute. I decided to make up a few Christmas cards so that I'll be ahead of the game this year.

 

I used 8 1/2" x 11 Kraft paper, getting 2 cards out of each sheet of paper.
 
You can't see it very well in the pictures but I added some gold Craft Twinkles to the stars before adhering them to the cards. The Craft Twinkles show up a lot better in person and add a bit of sparkle to the cards.
 



 
On the inside I used the smaller images...using the other sentiment on the inside...The "Merry Christmas" on the outside, "Merry and Bright" on the inside.
 
I also chomped my corners and added some pearls to the outside.
 

 
 

Chicken Note Cards

I have a thing for chickens and I would love to have a couple of laying hens, a couple fancy hens and a rooster. Link to file.

 

You get 3 each of 3 different sizes for a total of 9 labels and you can print as many as you need. I used the 3 small ones, put one on a bit lopsided so I put a middle sized label over the small one.

 

 

A while back, you know how it goes you see something interesting you think might work well for some projects then you just can't find the right project so that pack of Kraft paper with designs on it sat for 2 years. Shhhh......don't tell on me.

 

I can't believe how easy these cards were to make, out of each 8.5" x 11" sheet of paper I got 2 cards. I cut the sheets in half on the long side making the cards 5.5" tall x 4.25" wide when folded. After cutting the labels out I backed them with a piece of black cardstock.

 

I added a piece of ribbon and a couple of Queen and Co. flowers on two of them, and a button from Melissa Frances on the other one. I also added some Queen and Co. pearls. I've had those for a while too, ever since the 2012 Great Lakes Mega Meet.

 



  

Guest Designer at My Craft Spot

This is my second post today, for my HIMCR #174 project please click here: HiMCR # 174

Hi, Sue from Sue's Paper Crafts here. I am so honored to be a Guest Designer for a day today here at My Craft Spot .

With Thanksgiving just around the corner I chose the, "Happy Thanksgiving" stamp set to play with. When the set arrived I couldn't stop at the 2 projects that Kimberly requested, I wanted to showcase as many of these wonderful stamps as I could.

I know it's a little late to be sending out invitations for Thanksgiving Dinner but these stamps are perfect for them.

 

 

 I used 3 of the stamps for the invitation, "Sharing the Harvest", "What's Cooking" and "May the Bounty of the Season Fill Your Heart and Home". I cut the turkey with my Cricut and My Community cartridge, the turkey's background is cut from a piece of paper I embossed using my eBosser and the Swirltangle embossing folder, I used foam pads to adhere the turkey to the background.

I stamped the sentiments on vellum and embossed them with gold embossing powder, then I backed them with a piece of cream paper that had been sprayed with some Tattered Angels - Coffee Shop and adhered them to the card with foam pads.

I used the 3rd stamp on the inside and printed the event using my printer and Photoshop.

Added a few Imaginisce jewels and a piece of twine to finish it off. 

For my second card I wanted to use the, "Falling For You" stamp, it goes perfectly with my falling leaves paper.

 

I started with a Kraft base for my card, added the falling leaf paper, stamped the sentiment on Kraft paper then layered it with a piece of red/rust and put a piece of burlap behind it. I punched a few leaves with some very thin craft metal and a couple of sequins on the upper corner. I also added some twine and a button.

 

My third card is a, "Happy Thanksgiving" card.

 

 

The card base is a mustard color, I layered it with a piece with Thanksgiving and fall type decorations, added a piece of ribbon and my bling swirl is from Zva Creative, "Happy Thanksgiving" stamp and some Imaginisce bling.

 



 My 4th card was a bit of a challenge, I had received card from a pen pal and wanted to copy it because I like the design. After she sent me the basic measurements I went to work making an SVG. I need to tweak my SVG a bit but I'm fairly happy with the results.

 

 

 

Folded Card

I did my SVG cut, added some fall color printed paper to the, "flip" part and a piece of Zva Bling.

 

Open Card

 

I stamped the back ground for my top layer with the, "So Blessed to Have You in my Life" stamp and added some gold Stickles. Stamped the, "When I Count my Blessings I Count You Twice" stamp and layered it onto a piece of burlap.

 

The sentiments in this set are so perfect that the cards pretty much make themselves.

 

I want to thank Kimberly for having me today. I would really love to do this again. Please stop by Kimberly's store and see what she has to offer.
