Thank You, Regina!

What a fabulous day! My dear crafty friend Regina Cooper is the sweetest! She does etching, I ordered a mug to have her etch as a Christmas present for the hubby. She went above and beyond! She made my day even brighter when I opened the package and not only seen the mug I ordered but a stunning handmade card, card making goodies, and a mug just for me!!!! Thank you so much Regina you are such a wonderful and very giving sweet friend!

Simple Thank You

Using the Silhouette Cameo I made two of these simple and to the point Thank you cards. A little washi tape and a blank address label and it is ready to for the recipient!

Sunnyside Thank You

Thank You card - Inside

Thank You card- Front

Had a friend request two simple Thank You cards. This  Thank You card is my first attempt at a simple card. I know it does not look very simplified does it? I am an over achiever. :)

For this card I used my Silhouette Cameo machine using one of their freebie card files embellished inside with some punched out flowers, an address label to write your John Hancock, some scrap strips of cardstock and some Liquid pearls. I love liquid pearls! 

On the front of the card I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder, and a punch for the center cut out, plus the same flower punch and glossy accents. I decided to redo the request for a simpler card. See my next posting!

Give Thanks

This week on the Greetings team at The Outlawz we want to see how you say Thank You. Oh yes,the time of year to remember what you are Thankful for has arrived. In just a few weeks we will be celebrating Thanksgiving here in the United States. I am prepping myself for a long day in the kitchen, but the rewards of the tasty Turkey and all that follows makes me smile!

For my Thank You card I used this little Spanish fellow. I know it is not your typical Thanksgiving card. I normally would have been more traditional. I had this digi stamp already printed out with the cactus, I thought oh why not! The cloud appearance I used a sponge, cloud template I made and a stamp pad. I used my Copic marker to give it the look of tiny pebbles under his feet. Topped it off with some colorful striped paper to give it a swag and added some sparkly pom pom balls.

The Outlawz PARTY Sketch Challenge!

What a fun sketch challenge for the 1000 Member Party over at THE OUTLAWZ!

For my card I kind of twisted two challenges together the CAS and the Sketch Challenge. I used items that have been haunting me for quite some time. I didn't know how I would ever use these items. I made them using the pens of the Cricut machine. I made them when I first received my Cricut machine and have had them in my stash all this time. The border was also something that didn't quite get cut through that I have had lingering around till I finally used it on this card.

What is Paper A La Mode?

What a fun unique challenge at The Outlawz. The Paper A La Mode group have put together a fun challenge this last Saturday. You might want to get over there and check it out you have till this Friday to enter your card for this challenge! Hurry! :D

For my card I was determined to use one of my Ippity stamps from Rona. Then it was all about coordinating everything around the stamp. The background paper was also from Rona. The white picket fence and the square doily were both cut on my Cricut machine. I used Tim Holtz distress ink on the edges. The white flowers are a EK punch, the sentiment piece is also a punch, the stamped frame and sentiment is all from Stampin Up. To top it off I added the yellow paper and the brown ribbon.
