Dora the Explorer 2nd B-day invite!

I made this adorable invitation for my niece's 2nd Birthday. I got the image online in a coloring book website, The background is embossed with the swirls cuttlebug folder. The you're invited I printed with my computer on colored cardstock, stamped the banner with Lawn Fawn "Bannerific" stamp set and cut it out. (luckily I only made 20 invites) I used the SU Ticket punch for the Dora picture corners as well as the inside.

Here is the inside of the invite. I always forget to make one without the "personal" information but I remembered this time. I wanted to keep going with the Dora theme so why not make it sound like Dora is the one inviting you.

I took another picture on the left side in the inside that had the childs clothes and shoe size. This is what it looks like open.

Card made using Cricut Imagine & Lawn Fawn Stamps

I made this card using my Cricut Imagine Lori's Garden and the Fly Free stamp set from Lawn Fawn. The background paper is printed from the imagine Lori's garden cartridge as is the flowers and the paper the birds are stamped on. I stamped the birds on an extra flower I cut so they matched. The stamps are from the Lawn Fawn set "Fly Free"

USC Inspired Graduation Card

I made this graduation card using an image I found online, cut it out twice and layered it. The background I made using the information that was given to me. The person’s name, date and what she was graduating with and from there. I was inspired by all the Hero Arts background stamps I've seen that look like definitions. The scalop and circle I cut using my cuttlebug and nestabilities. I also embossed the circle with the swiss dot embossing folder.  Hope you like it.

Mother's Day card - Paper pieced

Here is a quick Mother's day card I made using... Lawn Famn Bake me a Cake stamp set and Lawn Famn Bannerific Stamp set. These stamps have stayed out on my table and I love them so I keep using them! I paper pieced the cupcakes for some added flair. The Sentiment is from Close to my heart. I'll have to check on the stamp name for you.

Happy Birthday Card using Lawn Fawn Stamps

I made this card for a co-workers birthday today. I used the Lawn Fawn "Bake me a Cake" stamp set! Isn't it cute! The paper is DCWV Mango Frost which I bought at Ross of all places for $3.99 for the 8x8 and $5.99 for the 12x12. So now my new place to look for paper is Ross, TJ Maxx and Marshalls!! I stamped the image first on white paper, then stamped each cake layer on the color paper I wanted to use. I built the layers using SU dimentionals. Hope you like the card!

Marine inspired Waterfall Card

Here is the card I made last night. It is an anniversary card for my co-workers boyfriend who is a marine. This was a fun card. I downloaded a logo and made the background paper from it. The Love square is from a dollar stamp I got at Michaels a while back. Hope you like it.

Laker Trifold Birthday Card

Here is another fun card. I haven't done a tri-fold in a while and this is a blast to make. I used Cricut Sports Mania for the jersey, Basketball and Hoop. The lettering on the jersey and the number were made with Cricut Lite Varsity Letter cartridge. The name is a whole 1/4 high (I had to cut that one a few times :) The background paper I made using a jpeg of the logo and just repeated it throughout the sheet. Here is the card closed.

 

Here is a view of the card open and standing. As you can see, there are different folds which allow it to stand.

 Here is a close up of the Jersey. Again cut with Sports Mania Cricut Cartridge at 3 in. height. The name is at 1/4 in height x 1 in width. The numbers are at 1 in height.

 Here is a close up of the Championship banner. I made this using photoshop. I used a clip art of the basketball, deleted the inside leaving the outline and placed it behind the name. I used the eraser tool to delete the basketball from behind the name and made it frame it on top and bottom. Instead of the National Basketball association, I changed it to Birthday and added the word honors. I used a couple rivets and twine to "Hang" the banner. I also pop dotted it.

 Here is the basketball and hoop. This was again cut with Sports Mania at 2.5 in wide I layered it with a purple shadow to stand off from the white of the background. The ball is cut at 1 in. I used the "Basketball" textured paper you can find at Michaels and JoAnns.

 Here is a close up of the ball and hoop. As you can tell, the ball is slightly higher because I used and "Action Wobble". If you flick the ball, it will wobble.

 Here you can see what the card looks like completely open and flat. There are 4 small pics of Laker players to tie the card theme together. I also added the basketball paper to the long strips and placed a candle border (EK Success) along them for more of a Birthday look. I used stickles in orange for the flames.

I hope you like it. It was a blast to make!

Wedding Card

Here is another stand card I created for a client. "Thanks Moses" He is giving it to his brother who is getting married. We talked about the concept and this is what I came up with. It's funny but still pretty. The couple is getting married in a strawberry field which is why I used the strawberry paper. The other colors are also their wedding colors. For the couple, I've cut them from the wedding cricut cart on 4 different color pieces of paper and cut the layers I wanted since this cut does not have a layers feature. The key and lock are charms that I cut the charm part off of. The ball is a 3/4 in circle punch and painted with clear nail polish to give it a glossy but not shinny finish. I also ran the round edge of a stylist around the edge to make it dimentional then poped it up with a pop dot. The inside poem I created with the card front in mind. Hope you like it.

Sympathy Card

I was requested to make a sympathy card. When you hear of someones passing, the first thing you want to do is send flowers. That was my inspiration for this card. I wanted to keep it elegant and I used muted colors as it was for an older lady and I thought she'd like it more. I used the Mother’s Day Bouquet Seasonal Cartridge for the flowers.

Thank you card

This is a pretty simple fast card I made as a thank you to the client that ordered the Little Squirts baby shower invites. No cricut cuts here but you gotta love all the PINK!!

Happy Chinese New Year Card!

Here is another stand card I made. I was requested by my wonderful Co-worker Susan to make this after she got her standing X-mas card I made her :-) Her daughter is going to give this to her God Mom for Chinese New Year. We talked about an idea, I sketched it out and this was the final product. I've added a bunch of pics to show the different elements close up. Hope you like it. The card measures 6x12" The Pagoda, Tree and Bridge were all cut from the Pagoda Cricut Cartridge. Since it's the year of the "Rabbit", you will find two rabbits cut from the 2010 Easter Seasonal cartridge.

This first Picture is the card closed.

This is the card opened and standing. We talked about continuing the rocks to the inside to hold the card open. I also used Origami paper as the background paper.

Here is a side view. It's a bit dark but it's the only way you can see the clouds clearly. I used zip 2 way glue and white flocking to make them.

Here is a close up of the little girl "Her Daughter" It is a Mo Manning digital stamp which I colored with copic markers.

Here is a side view so you can see how the bridge pops out. I glued one side then let it pop forward and glued the other side. I'm not sure if you can tell but it has a glossy but not shinny finish on it. I did that by painting it with clear nail polish. The water or stream is made from cutting and crinkling a piece of blue cellophane wrapping paper. It too is only glued on the ends to hold it in place .

Here is a close up of the tree and the rabbits. Both are flocked to give them a fuzzy texture. The grass is also flock with a zig 2 way glue pen.

My Callling Cards from the CHA Circle Meet Up

I wanted to go with a theme that matched my Blog "Stuck on Glue" and wanted to make it Valentines-y lol I love the way they came out!! The Glue is cut from Simply Charmed at 2" 

Two Little Squirts!

Wow you would think my specialty was baby shower cards!! They are just so fun to make. Here is another baby shower card I made for my co-worker who expecting twin boys!! This set of 50 was requested by her Mother in Law and I had a blast making them. I hope everyone that got one enjoyed them too! The idea was her Mother in Laws and I just ran with it and made it come to life. The whales are cut from the Create a Critter cricut cartridge at 2 in. I used my gypsy to reverse the image so I could have them facing each other. The water was made using an old making memories wavy paper trimmer using light and dark blue paper. The saying I printed on using my inkjet printer and the font is Harrington. Hope you like them!

Thank you Diane for your business!

More Scrap organization

Here is my closest all nice and cleaned out. I was able to free up a bunch of space by moving my paper and paper stacks to my new unit. It's not completely organized yet but at least it's clean and I can walk in :-) PS if you missed my posts before, this is my hall closet which I use for my scrapbook stuff.

This is the view when you open the door. At the top you can see the black paper dividers. I asked for those for Christmas. They hold all my loose patterened paper and my CTMH and SU paper kits. Above that you can see my CTMH stamps. There are three on top and three down the side. What can I say I like stamps :-) Currently I have my punches in an over the dor shoe hanger but I have ran out of room. You can kinda see them on the right of the picture.

Here is the upper part of the closet. At the very top I have my rolling totes and in the corner you'll see my scrapbooks. I have to say most are empty. :-( The pink bag is my tote with my glues and tools etc. The acordian folder looking rainbow is how I keep my scrap pieces of paper. They are organized by color. Again I'm growing out of that as well so I am going to get a small file foler plastic bin and see if that works better. Also, below the shelf which you cant really see is my wireless printer. It's wonderful not to have to have my computer connected and be able to print from another room.

Here is a better view of the whole inside. I have 4 tall and 3 wide of jet max cubes. The brown box was my cricut cake mini!!! Can't wait to use it!!

Here is a close up of my rolling totes. The one on the left is for my E and the black one is for supplies etc for crops.

Here is a better shot of the top of the cubes. There are 6 total CTMH stamp cases full :-) The jars have flowers and buttons, chipboard pieces and Cricut markers. Again the black paper file is Loose patterned paper, SU and CTMH paper kits. All my solid paper and paper stacks are in my ne unit pictured in the post before this one.

I have a few more pics to post later. I havent taken pics of my card organization and my new Cricut book and overlay storage so stay tuned!!
