Mr & Mrs.....

Hello & Happy Monday Everyone! How was your weekend?

Mine was really enjoyable! I went to lunch

at Red Lobster with my family.... We all got some

shopping done... and then the loong drive back home....

We got home around 1am Sunday morning....

We were all exhausted & couldn't wait to go to bed!

I got almost everything that was on my list and a few

things that weren't on the list! LOL Isn't that usually

how it goes? All in All it was a great Saturday! :o)

Of course Sunday was Clean the house & do laundry

day, so we won't talk about that! tehehehe

This was created using "My Digital Studio" by Stampin' Up

and my Silhouette Cameo!!!

I designed it first in My digital Studio, then I saved the file

as a jpeg... using the highest pixels..... Then I opened my

Cameo program up and plopped it in there! I used the

registration marks and printed the design pieces out

on my printer.... then I put it through my silhouette

to cut each piece out... SIMPLE!!!!

 

Here's a close up showing you the different cuts using my Cameo....
The green butterfly has a wider border around it...
The grey butterfly has a smaller border around it....
The flower & Scallop circle are the "outline" cuts.... which
cuts your design the closest to the image....
As you can tell the flower was cut out 2x's
so were the butterflies..... I added the gems in the corner
and on the banner....
I'm lovin' using my digital studio with my cameo....
they really work hand in hand together... As I'm sure
any digital program will do the same! :o)

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have an AWESOME MONDAY!!!

Wedding Card #3....

Hello and Happy Friday Everyone! Are You excited?????!!

It's finally the end of the week! YEA!!! Can you tell I'm

excited about it! It really was a busy week for me....

I'll be heading out of town for the day tomorrow....

It will be a looong day since we don't live close to

ANYTHING!!! But that's ok... I'll be glad to get out of town

even if it's for 1 day only! :o) Any who.... It's the

end of my wedding series... I know there should

be more than 3 cards, but I didn't want to overwhelm

ya with wedding cards... I do have another one that

I'll post on Monday.... but that's about it for them...

Here's my card.... :o)

I used my Cricut Imagine & my Cameo for this card...

I used Silver Brushed Card stock from Stampin' Up

and put it through my Imagine Machine using the

Teresa Collins "Black & White" Pattern Paper....

Which turned my Silver paper into that GORGEOUS paper

you see!!! I then pulled out some of my (Hoarded Ribbon)

Pretty Ribbon and attached it to the card.... Pulled out

my Fused Pearls again using the Glossy Accents to

attach it together..... Trimmed about an inch off the

front of the card to show through to the inside where

I added a red border.... So then I went to my Silhouette

machine and found the "Always & Forever" die I purchased

and cut it out... there are 3 layers to it and 2 of the layers cut like

a dream... but the top layer which is the thinnest layer.... was REALLY

REALLY hard to cut! I tried 2 attempts when the (Light bulb)

idea came to me to use VINYL!!! HELLO!!! :o)

So I pulled out my Silver Vinyl and BAM!! That cut like BUTTER!!!

And I attached it to the other 2 layers to create this really

pretty card... Or at least I think it's pretty.... :o)

Thanks sooo much for stopping by... I hope all

of you have an AWESOME WEEKEND!!!!

Wedding card #2....

Hello and Happy Wednesday Everyone! It's the middle of the

week... So I hope you're having a great week so far.... Mine

is pretty busy at the store... But I keep thinkin' bout' the weekend...

I'll be heading out of town on Saturday... So I just keeping thinking

about that, to get me through the next few days... :o) I decided to

make this next card a "Non Traditional" type of Wedding Card...

In the sense of Colors anyway..... I decided to use my Silhouette Cameo

again.... I downloaded this card design by Samantha Walker.... and I guess

they are suppose to be mini cards??? But I of course was not gonna let

that stop me from making an A2 size card (4 1/4 x 5 1/2)....

I guess you could use this card for just about anything....

But my mind was set on a Wedding Card.... :o)

So I printed out the pretty paper using my Printer....

And the Sentiment & Butterflies.... Then put

it into my Silhouette Cameo Machine to cut out....

I didn't like the way the paper was set up when it

printed out so I cut it up to suit my needs and

used my border punch on the end.... Inked around the edges

of the card and butterflies and popped up the sentiment....

I did not pop up the butterflies.... they are actually flat!

All I did there was add adhesive to the center of the

butterflies, so the wings could pop up... I did the same thing with

the second layer of butterflies too... I just wanted them to have

a little bit of dimension..... :o)

I'll be back with another Wedding Card... In the

mean time have an AWESOME DAY!!!!

P.S. I wanted to wish my sister Mi-Mi a

very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! LOVE Ya SIS!!! :o)

Wedding Week.......

Hello & Happy Monday Everyone! How was your weekend?

Mine was pretty good... I got to spend some time crafting again!

In fact I was messing with the Brand New MDS 2 that Stampin' Up

came out with! It is wayyyyy cool! So I was playing with that and my

Silhouette Cameo.... I was trying to learn how to create something in MDS 2

& cut it on my Cameo.... I spent a lot of hours trying to teach myself

how to do this... I did manage to cut stuff out between both programs....

I'm still learning the ins & outs of both.... But I can see them

working together to help make my creations! :o)

So I decided to make this week..... "WEDDING WEEK"

Here on my blog... WHY? You ask... Well I'll  tell ya... :o)

I don't know ANYONE who has gotten married in JUNE!

I know tons of people who've gotten married in

September & October (me included)

So I was working on some wedding cards....

My friend who owns the local Scrapbook Store's

Daughter is getting married in September and I thought

I would make her a card and prepare for the

"Wedding Season"! LOL

So here's one of the cards that I created! :o)

I used my Silhouette to create this card... I GOOGLED

"Wedding Silhouette" and found this clip art image.....

Can't remember from where (SORRY)....

So first thing I did was size everything  

Then I printed out the image through

my Cameo program... after that I let the machine cut

the shapes out....

Then I went to MDS (My Digital Studio) from Stampin' Up

And printed out some pretty paper that I liked and cut it

 along with using a border punch....

I used the Devine' Swirls Embossing Folder from Provo Craft

and as I started to put my card together I thought to myself...

Self.... You have pearls.... (DUH) USE THEM!!! LOL

So I pulled out a roll of "Fused Pearls" I got from

Wally World a long while ago and attached the pearls

with Glossy Accents.... Then I went back to my trusty

Computers and typed out "Congratulations" in my word program...

Then punched it out 2x's... once with the sentiment the other

in the yellow... thought it needed a little something more and

added 2 gems..... And Wallah.... a Wedding Card...

Thanks so much for stopping by.... I'll

be back with another wedding card for this weeks

series "Wedding"... In the mean time have an

AWESOME DAY!!!!

of the week already... And it's AUGUST!!! OMGOSH.... School

back already! Me? Well, I don't mind having the boys home.... So

it really doesn't bother me either way.... The only thing different is

that we go back to a schedule.... which I LOVE!! :o)

Today over at Cardz TV (aka Cricut Cardz Challenge)

You are to make a card for

BACK TO SCHOOL

That should be pretty easy for everyone to do!

Here's what I created....

I decided to create a Shape card using the

Hello Kitty Greetings Cartridge....

Card is Cut @ 6"

The Orange & Black sentiment represents

our school colors... Cut @ 1"

I cut all the pieces out 2x's and popped & inked

them all up.... I wrote out Math, Spelling, English

I'm gonna give this to my son's teacher with

a small basket of crayons, pencils, Kleenex, soap....

You know the stuff Teachers ALWAYS need! :o)

Well now that you've seen what I created, go check out

what all the other DT members did and then make

a "Back to School" card so I can try and stop by
