Cardmaking

WILD CARDHeart Stamp

This is my version of the pinwheel card on page 51 of the Wild Card handbook. On the Fit to page, the largest card that you are able to cut is 6.5" to fit in the envelope that was made for it with the shift key. I did not use the envelope but it was 6.5".
I did stamp the images and rotate to get the next image on the pinwheel and kept turning until they were full. When doing this, you have to make sure the stamps are not too big for the opening.
Next I cut the frame out and mounted in the opening. Not sure why the holes were cut out all over the front of the card but the next one that I would do is cut the blackout feature and that would eliminate those cuts. The flower pot was cut from Walk In My Garden and run through the distressed stripes folder from the Cuttlebug. Added a strip of paper for the stem and cut out the leaves.
The "Happy Birthday" was cut from Zooballo Zoo.

There was another stamp that fit in the circle area and that was "I love You" but not pictured.
Inside of the card: Added an embossed square to cover the brad on the spinner. Printed the sentiment from the computer.

Easter egg cards

Using my Gypsy, I created these cards because I couldn't find the newest Easter cartridge. using the follow cartridges: Doodlecharms, Gypsy Wanderings, Plantin Schoolbook, Walk in my Garden and A Childs Year for the words.
The flowers were from Gypsy Wanderings and were cut @ 1.22" and were rotated on each cut flower.
The leaves were from Walk In My Garden and cut @1.39 x .48 " and also rotated for each of the cuts.
The Egg shape was cut from Doodlecharms and has to be a separate cut because the flowers and leaves extend over the border.The size was 6.14 x 18.16".
The circles were from Plantin Schoolbook and were cut from .26" and .48" to be used as fillers.
This was my first cut and I couldn't just let it go to waste so I cut out the purple paper and glued it on the front folded paper and then trimmed to leave the egg shape. Glued the green leaves in the cutout section after I ran them through the Cuttlebug. Stickled the leaves and Happy Easter and added the gems to the center part.
The green egg was a welded egg from Doodlecharms so that I had an egg shaped card. Cut the flower part separately and added to the top layer. Put the pink flowers from the other cut egg on top after I ran it through the Swiss Dots folder. Stickled the dots on the flowers and the Happy Easter.

Cardmaking

I found this card on my computer and I am not sure whether I posted this one before. The trim was the inspiration for the colors. I've had it for years with my sewing supplies. The border is from my favorite punch and stickles was used to add the extra glitz. The sunflower is from Walk in My Garden and Happy Birthday from Zooballoo shadow only feature to give it a bolder look.

Cardmaking

This card was created by my sister in law, using the Cricut. The flower was from Walk in My Garden. Also the Cuttlebug, Swiss Dots border was used. Very simple design of the card but the flower had a raised layer, and the rubber stamp was added.

Cardmaking, Easter


Created in Plantin Schoolbook in the end caps feature for the greeting cut at 1/2" and the scallop cut using the same cartridge but the size was adjusted in the Design Studio software and then trimmed to size of the card so I could get a narrower scallop. !/4" ribbon was added on the top of the scallop. The Daffodil was cut then stickles applied in green and yellow, and mounted on white, then green card stock. An extra Daffodil was cut and applied to the inside of the card with the wording done on the computer.
