Birthday Butterflies

This birthday card I demonstrated to few people that I had over to my house.  Everyone really seemed to like this card.  The label was done with a print & cut on the Sihloutte.  The teal background was embossed with Sampin-Up Texturz plates.  The pearlized white was embossed with a Sizzex folder.  The butterflies were cut from the Cricut.

50th Anniversary

This a card that I am currently working on for my in-laws 50th Anniversary.  It was cut using my Silhoutte Cameo.  The file I'm using was from a Facebook group that I belong to called Silhoutte cameo cuts and digi design.  I used pearlized white paper for 4 of the five layers.  I also used a metallic gold for the "50th" and for the upper gold layer.  The lower gold layer is actually is cut from the peralized white the rubbed gold ink over it to give a different shade of gold.  I plan on writing a a message on the right if I can not find a picture of them from the wedding.

Diamond Plate Birthday

This is a great masculine birthday card.  The grey card stock was embossed with the diamond plate pattern and then rubbed a black ink pad over it to accent the pattern.  The same technique was used for the black paper but with a light grey ink as the accent.
The silver shiny part is aluminum foil.  I crumbled it then re-flattened it to give the wrinkled look.

Tulip Card

This card I made for a female birthday.  I think the pink and green shades compliment each other very well.  The Tulips were cut utilizing Cricut Art Nouveau.  The patterned paper and ribbon is something that I had gotten from Michael's in the past.

Sweet 16 Pop-up!

I love how this card turned out!  This was card was custom ordered for a Sweet 16th Birthday in the blue & purple colors.  The green swirls are from Cricut.  The text and the 3D butterfly were cut utilizing the Sihloutte Cameo.  Then pop-up is done with Sizzex Bigz - Card, Scallop Circle 3-D. This was really fun card to make.

Father's Day

I wanted to share with you the Father's Day card using Art Deco Cartridge.  There are multiple layers that go into making this car but I love how it turned out.  I kept it in all tones of blue but would really look great with multiple colors.  The front quarter panel I embossed with diamond plate folder and then rubbed black ink over it to give some depth and texture. The font is also from the Art Deco cartridge and layered also to give depth.

Graduation Time!!

It's time to think about those high school graduations!  I found this quick card on Pintrest and had to give it my own spin on it.  A pdf of the directions can be found here. Jill's Ink.

I used black card-stock with white pearlized insert.  the congratulations stamp is from Stampin-Up.  The gold tassel is gold ribbon that I trimmed the outer edge off and then pulled the strands out.  The cap folds up an has a envelope to put money in for the graduate. 

I really enjoyed making this card.  I could see personalizing it to the school colors very easily.
