Moms Birthday Card

Hello fellow bloggers. I just posted my moms birthday gifts I made her and now I want to share the card I made her. Again I had to wait until I gave it to her before I posted it because she would have look at my blog and saw it. And yes she did admit that she looked this morning to see if I had posted it, she is such a stinker! Here it is mom you can look now...Here it is from the front.

Then open it up and....

When you lift up the presents they have a little note under them.

I kept the Happy Birthday simple and did some white stitching in the center to help it pop...oh ya I stitched around the card too. I used stickles on the cake, flames on the cake, hat and the gifts inside. Love the stickles.

Here is what I used to make this card.
Cartridge: Once Upon A Princess (I LOVE this cartridge)
Paper: DCWV
Misc: Stickles, white gel pen, flower brads, Studio G stamp, Glossy Accents for spots on dress.

Thanks for stopping by and God bless,

Aunt Judy's Birthday Card

Hello blogger friends. My Aunts birthday is at the end of the month and I want to share the card that I made for her. I saw this Diamond Fold card on Creations With Christina and she has a great video on how to do this fold. I used my Once Upon a Princess cartridge for this card. This card measures 4"x4".

Here it is folded up.

Here is a side view. This card has lots of dimension to it. I really like it and it is super easy to make.

Left side of the card.

Center of the card.

Right side of the card. I wrote a little something on the back of this flap to my aunt.

Cricut Cartridge: Once Upon a Princess
Paper: DCWV - Adhesive Prints & The Sweet Matstack with Glitter
Sentiment: Studio G
Other Items: Corner Chompers (for envelope), Stickles, Glossy accents (for cupcake wrapper) and decrotive scissors to cut out sentiments.

Lets not forget a pretty envelope. I used a dye cut and embossing folder to make the stamp.

Here is the inside of the envelope. This envelope is for an A2 sized card.

To make this envelope start with a 7 3/4" x 10" piece of paper.
Lay it long ways (10") across the top of your score board and score at 2 1/2" & 7" (this makes the top & bottom flap). Turn paper so the short side is now across the top of your board and score 1" in on either side of the paper (this makes the side flaps). You will now see rectangles on all four corners of the paper, you need to cut these out, then fold on all score lines to make your envelope. To add a decorative lining cut a piece of coordinating paper at 5 1/2" x 4 1/2" and glue to the inside top portion of your envelope. NOTE: the lining does not go all the way down to the bottom of the envelope. You can cut it so it will but I just don't to save paper. You then fold the top flap down to crease the inside lining of your envelope. Fold the two outside small flaps in and place glue on them and fold up the bottom flap. I hope this is not to confusing, maybe I'll do a tutorial on this in the near future.

God bless you all,

Wedding Cake

Happy Saturday afternoon blogger friends. A dear friend of ours is getting married and I wanted to share the card I made for her. This card is a wedding cake from the Once Upon a Princess cartridge. Tim Holtz Alterations Baroque die cut frames the cake with the use of the Argyle Cuttlebug embossing folder.

I used Tim Holtz Distressing Ink in Tattered Rose and inked everything up. The flower centers are self adhesive pearls. I cut extra flowers for the top and the bottom of the card, then added a little bow to finish it off.

Please stop by again some time for something new.

God Bless you all,
Kellie

Princess Wand

Hello blogger friends. I was blessed with 2 wonderful boys who are now grown and out of the house. Having never had a daughter I have to make girly things for myself. When I saw the Magic Wand or as I like to call it a Princess Wand in the Once Upon a Princess cartridge I just had to make it. Boy was it a hard bugger to make and half way through had double thoughts. Okay it wasn't that bad but I did have to make the wand handle 2 times. Thank God for my Gypsy because I could hide all the other images and just cut out the handle. Where would I be without my Gypsy.

Lots of pieces to have to layer just for a wand oops Princess Wand. I used Perfect Pearls on everything but the handle before I glued it together.

You can kind of see how they inter lock to form four points. I found this part a bit of a challenge. But that's just me.  And now for the bottom of the handle. It is also put together in an inter locking method which yes I found challenging. You can kind of see the shimmer of the Perfect Pearls on the bottom of the wand. After I was done I used Scotch quick dry adhesive and applied it at the joint areas just to give it a little strength.

I do like how it turned out and will display it in my craft room.

Mother Daughter Tea Gift Bags

Good afternoon fellow bloggers. About 6 posts ago I shared with you the name tags that I had made for Mother Daughter Tea coming up this Saturday at my sisters church. She has a table and is in charge of decorating it, so she came over today and we made cute gift bags to share with everyone sitting at her table. We are going to fill them little goodies (sweet treats) and each guest will then be able to take theirs home. How fun is that. I used a little bag from Once Upon a Princess cartridge.

Cricut Cartridge: Once Upon a Princess

Image: GiftBag1 on page 64

Paper: From Craft Warehouse bought in a bulk pack

The paper is 8 1/2" x 11" card stock so when I used my Cricut I used the Fit to Size button and the bags came out at 3 3/4"H x 3 1/4"W x 1 1/2"D. Now you could make these a little bigger if you were to use 12" x 12" paper. We thought that this was a good size and just went with it. I'll try to take pictures of the Mother Daughter Tea and if any of them turn out okay then I'll post it on Monday.

God Bless you all,
Kellie
