Card Gift Sets

I made several of these card sets to give away as Christmas presents this year. I included an envelope with each card. I hope they like them. :)

Vinyl Madness!

My second son just made the middle school baseball team. The "Warriors". He is shirt number 1. Go Warriors!

I few years back I bought one of these from ebay. My hubby loved it and was mad that I didn't get him one. Today I made him one of his very own.

Hap BEE Birthday

I made this card using an invitation size envelope.

Seal the envelope and then cut off one end. Decorate the envelope and then put the bottom half through a crimper. Decorate and you're done.

My inside card measures 4 inches by 4 inches.

carts - paisley, san serif and ashlyn's alphabet
stampin up - dimensionals, ribbon, ink and paper (old olive, summer sun and basic black)
stamp - from stash

My New Desk

Hubby decided that I should have a new scrapping desk. Until now I have been using two folding tables from Walmart. He ordered this desk for me from Staples. I love it.

Peter Pan: Scal file (This is not my file. This is a link to where I did get the file from.)

Captain Hook: Scal File

This layout was originally going to include Mr. Smee. I made a cut file and cut out all of the pieces. I had to leave him on my crafting table half finished to go to work. When I came back he was gone. I couldn't find him anywhere. I eventually gave up looking and didn't cut him out again out of spite. I will share the file in case you have better luck than I do.

Zooballoo Challenge Card

Cynthia on the cricut message board has started a weekly challenge. This week's challenge is to use the cricut cart Zooballoo.

This is my creation. I used the card cut on the cartridge with the matching tree overlay. I cuttlebugged the base and added flower soft to the leaves. I backed my tree with red felt. The bird is a dollar stamp from Michaels.
