A phone Call Away

Another version of this phone cut from Wall Decor and More.   This is the border cut with the shadow.   The mat paper is from the Theresa Collins World Traveler set.   The stamped sentiment is from Studio 112 and some cream colored yarn wrapped around the card. 

New Year's Day Favors

Happy Happy New Year!!!  This year we decided to have a little get together for New Year's Eve.   So, I made some candy favors but, I also made these take home favors for the day after.   I started with a larger size Chinese take out box.   I added some white shredded paper, a gel pack eye mask, a small bottle of ibuprofen, two Starbuck's instant coffee packets, some purse size Kleenex and some truffles. 

I decorated these using the Ribbons & Rosette's cartridge and the Wall Decor and More.   The clocks on the front were cut from Wall Decor and More, cut at 4".   The base layer is plain black and the white layer is the Core'dinations 'White Gloves' paper....just a little glitter.   Then I cut a 3" circle using George and Basic Shapes in a mat silver.   The Rosette was cut from Core'dinations 'black tie' paper using 5 Grass cuts at 2" each.   I scored them and then glued them all together with a 3" black circle hot glued to the back, to keep them together and to attach them to the take out boxes.  I finished with some black tulle wrapped around and tied in a bow at the top.

As you can see, I also attached one to a glass jar centerpiece that I had put the ladies' party horns and crowns in.   I had plain black horns so, I covered the ones for the ladies in some pretty paper and then stuck them in this glass jar and then put some lip gloss in each one, for before midnight! 

Call Me

I have to say that today's card was inspired by the die cut that is inside the card and not the Cricut cut.   The Cricut cut is the border phone from Wall Decor and More.  I cut it at 2 3/4" with the shadow.  The printed dot paper is from the Cosmo Cricket Upcycle Stack and the stamp on the front is from Studio 112.

Inside, the phone says 'Call Me' on it.   This is from the K& Co Smooch line. 

Carnival Signs - Fun Stuff

 

Today's post are the signs for the activities that we had for the carnival!

For these carnival signs, I am just going to give the details under every one.  I used real raffle tickets and some curling ribbon to snazz them up and then put eyelets in the corner of each sign, to hang them.

All of the letters were cut at different sizes from the Country Life cartridge.

This little bird from Birthday Bash was cut at 3", it's the bird2.

The paints were cut from Wall Decor and More at 8" and then I inked the ends with different color Sharpie's and made lines all over the poster.

The camera was cut from Summer Vacation at 5"

Carnival Signs - Games

Today I have all the carnival game signs!!  

For these carnival signs, I am just going to give the details under every one.  I used real raffle tickets and some curling ribbon to snazz them up and then put eyelets in the corner of each sign, to hang them.

All of the letters were cut at different sizes from the Country Life cartridge.

This duck was cut from Wall Decor and More at 3 1/2".   I cut it in blue because my ducks were pink and blue.  ;)

Tic Tac Toe was cut my hand except an 'O' from George and basic shapes.

Ping Pong Bounce (bouncing a ping pong ball into jars of water) was made using a 1 1/2" circle punch

The bottles for ball toss were cut from County Fair

more circles

The beanbags were cut into rectangles and then the corners trimmed like they were 'tied off'

Lovely Lighthouse

I just love today's card.   I am really drawn to all things nautical and this one is no different.   I started with the flocked damask paper from My Mind's Eye Lush collection.  The card is a 5x7 so I cut the frame from the Stand and Salute cartridge at 7" (perfect fit) using some lightly glittered red paper.   I punched a hole in the top of the anchor and ran yarn through it and up both side of the frame. 

The lighthouse is cut at 6 1/2" from Wall Decor and More, using pearl paper and navy for the blackout.   I didn't like the way the window openings looked with the damask paper so I added some strips of yellow paper to the back of the lighthouse.  

I pop dotted the frame and the lighthouse to shadow off the damask and added a Fiskar's sentiment.

On the inside, I added a Happy Birthday sentiment and some of the negative cuts from the lighthouse.  

Finding Birthday Wishes

Today's card is a birthday card for a male friend, which are always challenging for me.  The mat paper is from the DCWV Tradewinds stack.  I slowly tore the edges of the card and then slightly inked them to give the card an aged map look.

  The compass was cut from Wall Decor and More at 3 1/2" and an American Crafts brad added to the center.  The sentiment is from Fiskars and the inside sentiment is from Inkadinkadoo.

Altered Nest Gift Bag

My coordinating gift bag was created from a store bought gift bag.   The bag had bright purple ribbon handles that I removed and replaced with this striped brown, cream and green ribbon.

I also added the three birds in the nest, cut at 7 1/2" from Wall Decor and More.
