It's a Boy

What a great way to start off the new year, but with a new little baby boy.  My good friend and neighbor is expecting their 4th boy any day now, she is hoping to make it through the first of the year. So I made her his fun little card to go with a little gift.  

The overall size of the card is 4 x 6 and is made using 3 Birds on a parade, and Wild Card cartridges.  The baby boy bird and all his layers are cut out at 4".  It's a boy is cut out from Wild Card and is 12.25" or 4.25" on real dial size. 

Tied with a simple bow using sew easy floss and that's it. Very easy!

Happy Creating!

Halloween Spinner Card

 

I found this really neat spinner card on Gloria's Crafts  blog she made a few spinner cards and I wanted to make my own Halloween spinner card. So here is my version of a spinner card To make this fun card I used the following: A Cricut Gypsy, Wild Card Cartridge, Paper Doll Dress Up,  Everday paperdolls and George and the basic shapes.

I'm going to try my best to make this super easy for you to make your own.

The card is cut out from Wild Card and it is cut out at 7.90 x 5.33 I used the card that is the last one on the second row, it's also the letter p on the alphabet.  I hid everything. Except the card outline and the one little dot below the circle for the brad to go in.

Then I placed my paper doll on the card so I could see where to place it. My paper doll is cut out at 4" You will also need just the head (used from Everyday paperdolls). The 4" as well.  Place just the head on the card and move the whole body, This way when the card is cut out their is a hole for the head. 

Then cut out the rest of the clothing or what ever acessories you need for your doll.

The Cirlce is cut out from George and Basic Shapes ( you could use what ever cartridge you have that makes a nice round circle.  I cut my circle out at 3.80"  Then poke a hole in the center, this is for the brad to go through.

 

Here is a photo of my cutting mat, so you can see how everything was cut 

Then I used my peachy keen stamps and stamped the faces on going around the circle.  

Here is a photo of the inside of the card with the Circle attached. 

Then attach your cirle to the card put the pretty sideof the brad facing in the card.

Decorate your card how ever you want 

And glue everything together. Make sure not to glue things to the circle otherwise it won't move :)

Here is the additional faces for this fun card. 

If you make your own spinner card leave me a comment with your blog address so I can check it out, l would love to see what you create.

Bloom Where You're Planted

This is a simple card that I created using the Wild Card Cartridge. Everything is cut out at 4 1/2 inches.  That’s as large as you can create the matching envelope on a 12 x 12 matte.  I cut out two envelopes to so that I could cut off the “grass” to make it green on the envelope.  The envelope flowers are from the liner feature.  I have this new love for making cards I save money and I actually do give people cards. Giving cards for no reason other than you were just thinking about them is great.
