Two Quick Cards

So glad you stopped by today. 

I've been trying to sort my scrap paper drawers and realized that I have almost as many scraps as I have paper stacks.  I decided that I should put those scraps to use along with my growing collection of dimensional stickers.  I get so caught up in my digital images and Cricut cuts that I don't make good use of the treasures I have on hand.  So today I created two cards using scraps and stickers and things I have on hand.  The sentiment stamps on both cards are K Andrew Designs.

These stickers are BasicGrey and the sentiment is a combination of phrases from the Owly Hoo set.

And these stickers are a K & Co set.  The sentiment is from Fashionable Friends. I even found this little frame that I had embossed, spritzed, and inked - who knew?

I think both of these cards will be great to send for Card Fairy Missions.

Maybe this will be your week to dig through your stash and create something with what you have onhand.

Hugs and Happy Crafting,

For the Birds!

Do you find that sometimes you use the same idea over and over?  As I was making this card, I realized that I have been using blue, yellow and birds again and again.  I guess that proves that our Cricut carts have some terrific birdies to choose from, right?  Or, my creativity bogs down then gets stuck - hmmmm?

Anyway, we had a Card Fairy request for a gal who loves retro.  I got out my Nifty Fifties cart with all the terrific retro cuts and what did I choose?  A BIRD - oh well, I think it's really cute and I hope she'll like it.



Sorry it's taken so long to post.  My internet went down for two days.  Wow, I was lost!!

How many of you ordered the Anniversary Edition E2?  I waffled for the first two presentations and finally made the call.  The free shipping, extra carts, and flex pay sold me.  I received notice that it's been shipped - woohoo.

Happy Mother's Day to me. 

Now I have to update my Gyspy, which always scares me, but I want to be ready for the new cartridges.

Hugs and Happy Crafting,

Shall We Dance

This is the first time I've used this Cricut Circle Exclusive cartridge.  We had a Card Fairy request for a dear lady who is a former dance teacher and loves pink and purple.  I think this simple card is perfect.  I used the Medallion feature for the dancer and then enlarged it by one fourth and used hide countour on the Gyspy to create the shadow. 

 

Thanks for stopping by. 

Hugs and Happy Crafting,

Happy Birthday Cricut Card Fairies

If you're following the Fantabulous Cricut Crawl, click HERE.

So glad you stopped by because it's a special day!

Welcome to the Cricut Card Fairy Blog Hop.   We are celebrating because the Card Fairies turned three years old yesterday.  The Card Fairies are a group of crafting volunteers who love to send cards to those who need them.  To date, we have sent over 750 missions.  That's over 750 smiles and hugs via cards.  It's quite amazing, don't you think?

I joined the Card Fairies because I love crafting and felt it was a wonderful way to use my craft to offer support  and caring thoughts to those that need a little lift.  If you are interested in becoming a card fairy, you can email Crystal at cricutcardfairyarmy@gmail.com

This is the second stop along the hop.  You should have arrived from Crystal's blog.  If you get lost along the way, you can always return there for the complete list.

Of course I made a birthday card to celebrate the occasion.

The patterned paper is from Reminisce.  I cut extra flowers, inked and pop dotted them to add dimension.  I also added Liquid Pearls and Signo Pen doodling here and there.

If you leave a comment, your name will go into a drawing for BLOG CANDY - you heard right, how fun is that?  I have some Basic Grey chip stickers and brads, and some Bo Bunny stickers to give away.  Be sure you leave a way for me to contact you.  The random drawing will be Monday morning and I'll post the winner on my blog.  Woohoo!!

Also, I'm trying to reach 175 followers by Sunday night (it's OK if I go over - lol).  If you become a follower, there will be a second drawing for followers only.  The prize is a $15 gift certificate to My Sheri Crafts. 

Now it's time to get hopping.  Your next stop is Rachelle.
Hugs and Happy Crafting
