Large Leaf.....

Hello and Happy Tuesday Everyone! I didn't get to make one single card yesterday... I had a feeling this week was going to be busy for me! LOL      I had woke up early and thought great I'll get to work then one thing happened then another and then I went to the Post office came back and took my mom her mail.... And that's all she wrote! :o)  Her Computer was acting up.... and not in a good way! Sooooo I took it from her and spent the entire afternoon and evening trying to get it all fixed up for her! It is now fixed and in working condition so she's happy about that! Sooo today I'm hoping and crossing my fingers that I get at least one card done..... I have plans on making Zucchini bread.... My wonderful neighbor stopped by last week and asked my son if I would like a zucchini, so he checked with me and I said sure...... Well my wonderful neighbor came back with a zucchini alright..... it was HUGE!!!!     I don't think I've ever seen a zucchini that big..... Soooo I thought..... What the heck am I gonna do with that??? BREAD!!! Yeah... that's it! Soooo my plans today include making zucchini bread..... If it doesn't get done today then for sure tomorrow, because we are going out of town this week, sooo I wanted to get some made and take it with me to my Hubby's family reunion.... I figure his family would appreciate it... Or at least I hope so! LOL Anyway .... let's get to today's card... Noooo Cricut yet again.... But my trusty Cuttlebug was certainly used for it! :o)

Cuttlebug Die and Embossing folder for the Leaf

Tim Holtz Sander to distress the Leaf

Last Mini Monsters Card!

Hello and Happy Thursday Everyone! I've had a busy week and it's not even over yet for me... I had to register my kids for school and my youngest was the easiest to register (Thank Goodness).... the older two boys seem to take FOREVER!! They give a schedule for when you're suppose to go and register them.... it's by every ones last name - to make it less crowded, sooo today was our day between 1pm and 3pm... well there were wayyyy more people  who weren't suppose to be there.... I was not happy.... it took over 2 hours to register them and I didn't get everything straighten out with my one son who is going to be a senior this year.... I'm suppose to go back today.... well there is a small problem with that... cause I have to be in court at 8am.... I got a subpoena to show up and soooo that's were I'll be today and tomorrow.... I'm gonna have to go and get everything straighten out on Monday I guess.... They start school Wednesday soooo I'm hoping it will all be taken care of... I spent well over $150 for just one child to get registered... I thought it was a public school.... boy oh boy I can't wait to see how much my Son the Senior is going to cost.... LOL      Man... it certainly didn't cost this much when I went to public school.... OK....

Enough about my Rant! :o) Here is my last card "for now" with the Mini Monsters Cartridge..... :o)

(Click on Photo to Enlarge)

All the Card Stock is Stampin' Up and

Card Made with the Treatbag????

Hello and Happy Wednesday everyone! It's the middle of the week sooo I hope it's going great for you!

Here is another  Mini Monsters Card.... This was made using the "Treatbag" on page 76 in the booklet.... Who would have thought using the treatbag for a card? Not me anyway! LOL So I hope you like it! :o)

(Click on Photo to Enlarge)

All the Cardstock is Stampin' Up and the

Designer Paper is KI Memories....

This is a 5 1/5 x 4 1/4 card and the

Monster was cut @ 5 1/4" on the Card Feature...

I used my Design Studio to cut what I wanted out... For example: Layer 1 has the wings and mouth but it also cuts out the handles for the treatbag..... well Since I wasn't making a treat bag I used my Design Studio for the "Hide Contour" Feature so I hide the bag handles and only cut out the parts that I needed..... They were cut out (2x's each) :o)  I also used the Layer 1 Shift key for the Horns (2x's).... Then I used Layer 2 for the teeth and white eyes cut out (2x's).... I decided to use my stickles for the blacks of his eyes.... and I like how that turned out... :o)

(Click on Photo to Enlarge)

So here is a side view of my card.... As you can see I did the inside with White Cardstock and inked the edges so someone can write on the inside of the card... I also used my Martha Stewart Bat punch for the bottom of the card to kind of match the wings the monster seems to have.... Everything was inked and I used Dimensionals to pop up all the layers... Thanks for taking a peek, let me know what you think! Have a great day and I'll be back tomorrow with (1) more Card from the Mini Monster Cartridge!

the RIP was cut @ 4 1/4"....

I used the Card Feature, Base Shadow, Reg. Shift Key,

Layer 1 Shift Key (2x's), Layer 2 Shift Key (2x's),

went into my Design Studio to Cut out the letters RIP in black for the inside of the card....

(Click on Photo to Enlarge)

Here is a side view, so you can see the popping going on! As I've stated before, I don't normally do the inside of the cards when they are to be sold to someone... but because I used very dark colors I chose to add the white cardstock and ink it, so whoever gets these can write a little something on the inside with nooo problems..... Thanks for taking a peek, let me know what you think! Have a great day and I'll see you tomorrow with another Fun Halloween card! :o)

Here is a side view, so you can see the layers.... I glued (1) layer of the grass on the card then put the Gator down with dimensionals, then I added the second layer of grass with more Dimensionals... I inked everything to give it some shadowing/depth.... :o) This is Also an A2 Size Card!

Well I hope you like them! I'll be back tomorrow with the other 2 I did.... Thanks for taking a peek, let me know what ya think! Have a great day!!!!

Another "CUTE" Card!

Hello and Happy Tuesday Everyone! As I stated yesterday... I will be showing you "Cute" cards all week! Soooo without Further Ado, here's another Cute Create a Critter Card! :o)

Is this not one of the cutest little doggies you've ever seen? I thought this was sooo perfect for a little boy card!

It's just to stinkin' cute I tell ya! :o)

Basically I designed this in my Design Studio.... I welded the 2 dogs together to make it the correct A2 Size card

(5 1/2 x 4 1/4) and it fits perfectly into the envelope!

I then measured everything to fit over each layer sooo  everything would match up.....

I cut out the hat, #1, doggie collar 2x's each to give it some added POP and I don't normally do the inside of the card when someone is going to buy them from me, sooo they can fill the inside out the way that they want... But in this case, this is a Shape card, and it was black on the inside and that is always hard to fill in, sooooo I cut out extra pieces in White then inked the edges....

I totally think this is perfect for a 1 yr. olds Birthday, or someone who loves Firemen, or someone who loves Doggies/Dalmatians...

I told ya I had something Stinkin' Cute! hehehe

I'll be back tomorrow with another cute card!

Thanks for taking a peek, let me know what you think!
