ZigZag Birthday Card

I know it is a little Springy for this time of year. I need a birthday card that would brighten my friends spirits. These word seem to be just what I wanted to say. Graphics are "More Love" by Joy Hall.

Hope she likes it.

Any Occasion Card

I have some square envelopes that I picked up on a great buy. So I decided to make a few cards to go in them. This was a quick and very easy card to make. The graphics are from pccrafter.com. Unfortunately, the graphics on that site are not for sale at this time. I applied glue to the hearts with a toothpick and then added Martha Stewart's glitter. It seemed to work well, but if you have a better way, please post.

Check out the 3D effect. Hope they fit in the envelopes. OOPS!

ATC Swap Challenge

So I am still working on tear bears. This ATC met the requirements of embossed. I added chalk edge of a Martha Stewart flower to make it stand out against the yellow background.
This was just a computer generated graphic by Laurie Furnell "In My Garden" that I purchased at pccrafter.com. I added a little glitter and pop dots to her and the bird houses.

Tear bear Fishing Card

This is a tri-shuttle card. Still have some work to do on the tear bears, but I am not giving up. Graphic is "Bearing All Seasons" by Colleen Perry found at pccrafter.com, and altered to a tear bear. This was a birthday card and below is the present.
I left the Plano sticker on the case so he would know the brand. I added a matching larger tear bear with a "Go Fish" tag and list of flavors of jellybean inside. Now he can taste and guess the flavor.

Here is the original graphic.

Above is the front and back cover for an exercise notebook. I used graphics from "Sugar Plump Faries" by Carolee Jones found at pccrafter.com. Below is a close up of the front cover.

First two flaps.

Middle and back flap.

Below are several pads I put together for the inside pockets: exercise log, food and water log, aerobic log, note pad and the bookmark.

Hope this bookmark help to keep someone inspired to stick with their exercise and diet. Graphics are from the "Sugar Plumb Faries" collection by Carol Jones at pccrafter.com.

I post the notebook with pads and goodies to also help the fight.

Tear Bear ATC

Here is the first attempt at making a tear bear. It's an ATC for a swap on the message board at pccrafter.com. I hope to get a lot better and post my progress.

School Thank You

This thank you card was easier than I thought to put together. I used a 6"x 12" sheet folded on the 2", 4", 8", & 10". From the edges it is cut 1 1/2" between the 2" and 10" fold. Graphics used for this card are by Teresa Kogut when she was designing for pccrafter.com. Her sets have been discontinued. Cardstock is from DCWV paper.

The edges of the base is chalked on all folds to give it an aged feeling. Letter rub-on transfers for a chalkboard look. I also put more transfers on the corner of the envelope.

Won Prize

On the Hugswap board at pccrafter.com , Nanc posted a very fun game. Here is the prize I won. WOW... It is amazing. I am posting several pictures so you can see how cute this project turned out. Thank you Annie, you did a wonderful job

Jungle Theme Baby Shower

This is my word book. It is a card for a baby shower tomorrow. I designed the colored background paper and it is included in the GSD file. The "Born to be Wild" graphics by Shelly Comisky can be found at pccrafter.com.
I used my Cuttlebug to emboss each page. It dressed up the back side enough to leave them plain.
Each photo spot is raised with a pop dot. Since this is going to be given at the baby shower ultra-sound pictures will be placed on each page.
I punched holes with my Big Bite and tied ribbon on the rings after I assembled the album.Maybe I'll make another one for a girl. Here are the GSD file which includes that blue background paper: B ; A ; B ; Y For those of you without a Craft Robo I am working on a PDF file.

February Swap Cards

These cards are just the cutest. I received them in a swap challenge on pccrafter.com from Shelby. I just had to share them.
You can see it in the picture, but there are raised parts for added dimension.

Quick Valentine Treat

Using the graphics from Simply Spring by Shelby Comiskey at pccrafter.com, this box of Valentines were done in less than an hour. By putting "To My Friend", she can just hand them out. Or there is room on the inside for a personal message.

Valentine Card

I really liked this saying from Laurie Furnell's new graphic collection. I threaded ribbon around a cut out heart and used pop dots for dimension. Graphics can be found on pccrafter.com.

Valentine Slider

This cute candy slider is a quick project for Valentines day. I used the instructions from Dawn's Stamping Studio(here). Only I added a slip on band and graphics from pccrafter.com.

Snowman Soup

Thanks to the graphics from Laurie Furnell at pccrafter.com, this cute little card was a snap to make. I printed a quarter card front with a tan background and snowman. On the other half of the card I printed the inside and the extra snowman for the front.

Using my Cuttlebug and the Swiss Dot embossing folder to give the front dimension, I cut the extra snowman out and used pop dots to raise him off the page. I picked up snowman marshmallows from Walmart. Plastic wrap holds the marshmallows in place and covered wire closes the wrap. Spoon is mounted with a pop dot.

Punched two hold through the package of cocoa, topper and front of card. The ribbon hold all three together. I made these for my granddaughter's teachers. Hope they like them.

Noverber Challenge Card

On the November Card Swap organized by Mary (MEW) on the pccrafter board, this is my creation. The lid slides up the ribbon to reveal the card set and a few goodies inside. Graphics are Contemporary Christmas with a little glitter added. I used the punched snowflakes from the bottom trip for the top embellishment and red flakes for the inside. I hope my swap partner liked them. I did try making some of the faux snow for the box. I'll post a close up of the snowflake tomorrow.

Noverber Challenge Card

I signed up to come up with an idea for a November Challenge on UK Scrappers site. I challenged everyone to use the welding and matting functions in the Robo Master program or in Inkscape. Here is one the mats I created.

Hint: I ran the cut swirl mat through my Xyron and sprinkled Martha Stewart glitter. It worked great. I also used graphic from pccrafter for the center quote.

I tried making the homemade snow and used it on the other mat I designed. Sorry no picture. I did not like the way the snow turned out. It was a little to lumpy for my liking. I will have to work on a new method for making snow. If...no when I come up with something I like, I'll let you know.

Think Pink

This was breast cancer month. I did these two cards for a swap using graphics from Heart & Soul by Laurie Furnell. The Perfectly Paisley Cuttlebug folder was used for the background and dimensionals to raise the stripe paper and parts of the card. The picture below was the first card I made; you can see how the embossing folder really adds.

Often you never get to see what they did on the inside. Thought you might like to see this one.
