Shut the front door!

Mom treated me to this hilarious Shut the Front Door! sentiment stamp and I couldn't wait to ink it up! I also used stamps from the "Round Sentiments" set by SP & Company.

I also added a yellow, stamped star in the middle of the sentiment, and punched 3 little stars in the corner just for good measure! I think this will be a good card to send someone who has had some good news.

Love is in the Air at the Crafter's Cafe

The Crafter's Cafe Challenge theme is Love is in the Air. We're sponsored by Melonheadz, QKR Stampede, and Rick St. Dennis. I designed this card around the All You Need is Love sentiment on the digi stamp "Valentine Tangle" by RSD & the song "Love Is All You Need" by the Beatles.

I made a twisted easel card, propping up the top with a record player cut using Cricut's Bits & Pieces cartridge.

Sunny Sky Shaker

Mom & I visited Michael's the other day & found cute shaker card kits by Jillibean Soup on clearance! You know how much I love shaker cards. I inked the front of the card (a nice natural, textured paper) with the help of painter's tape. The sentiment stamp is from Art Impressions, and I filled the shaker with a mix of sequins & microbeads.

I'll Never Desert You - Cards at Crafting with Dragonflies

This fortnight at Crafting with Dragonflies our theme is Any Card.

I used the Circle Step Card Tutorial by Beate for SplitcoastStampers to create a cut file in SCAL and cut it on my Silhouette Cameo.It's probably just as easy to do it by hand, though. I embossed the folded card with my Swiss Dots embossing folder in my BigShot. The desert scene is from Cricut's Campin' Critters Cartridge.

Thank you for visiting, and hope you'll join us at Crafting with Dragonflies,
