Get Well Card - Butterfly.


Here is another simple card I made. I love that pink ruffle ribbon I found a while back. I have so much ribbon oh my goodness! That's it for today. I got an iPhone so now I am doing most of my posting from it.

Two Birds in a Tree

Here is a sweet card I made using my Imagine. I recently got the gelly roll glaze Pens and I used the clear one over the birds eyes. It's very subtle. I also added some sparkle with my pink stardust gelly roll.

Sorry my blog was quiet this month. Instead of things slowing down after the craft fairs ended my husband almost died and we spent 9 days in another state with him in the hospital. Then we got home and everything has been hectic with dr apts and all. Just getting back to crafting.

With Prayers & Positive Thoughts


One more simple card I made this week using a print from my Imagine as well as the darker pink/red color. Not much to say about this one, was just making a few simple cards in between some house work.

Birthday Card - Flower Pattern


This is another simple card I made using my Imagine. This time I used it for this piece of patterned paper as well as the pink paper. The orange and teal were in my stash. This is a very simple design but I am really loving this cross pattern with the ribbon going both ways! Another thing I love about the Imagine is that when you are only printing a mat big enough for a card it scales the prints down so it looks nicer for a card.

Always Enjoy The Little Things


Here is another card that I made using my Imagine. I just used it for the printed paper, love this paper with the greens and peach. I used papers I had in my stash to go with it along with my Paisley embossing folder, then I inked it. I love this sentiment by Emma, this was my first time using it, but I can see that I will use it again and again...love how it is bigger than your average sentiment for the front of a card.

Birthday Card - Paisley Pattern


For this card I just used the Imagine for the Paisley patterned paper. It so happened I had the perfect shade of Peach in my PTI stash and then the tan paper on hand as well which went great with this. I love the soft muted colors of this particular print, and what I LOVE about my Imagine is that I cut a piece of this patterned paper only big enough for this one card...so no scraps sitting around at all. The other nice part is I can print this paper as much as I want forever. I love these colors together, a very simple card but catchy.

Two Twinkle Twinkle Baby Cards




Here are two totally adorable baby cards that I made using my new Formal Occasion cartridge. I have wanted this cartridge for MONTHS and held back on getting it. I love the little scenes in it and the carriage and such...but anyway, I was going to go purchase some Imagine Ink on sale for Black Friday when I realized that Cricut Rewards has each of them for 500 points, and I was lacking 70 points because I had used my large accumulation of points earlier in the spring so I ended up figuring it made more sense for me to go purchase this cartridge on sale for 24.99 and get the missing points, than to purchase the inks. So now I have the cart I have been wanting and I will use my points soon for free inks!!! Anyway back to my cards. I just took one of the little scenes and made it into a shape card. I embossed and used Perfect Pearls spray on the clouds. I outlined the moon with my Stardust pen and then did the stitch lines with it too. I did not care for the stars that cut with this, so I just punched my own out with two punches. I stuck a bow to a button to give it an added touch and added a little bling on my stars. Inside I wrote, "Congrats on Your New Addition". Love these cards.

Wishing You a Hoppy Day


Here is an adorable card that I made using my Imagine and my new Nursery Tails cartridge :). I love this cartridge, it is SO cute. I fell in love with this little Froggy right away and had to cut him first. I cut it in the layers and adhered everything, and I popped the frog up. I loved the print in his body so I pulled the same print out from the patterned paper and then the peach color from that. I actually made 4 of these cards, and it did not take long at all. The sentiment from Scrappy Moms was perfect for this little guy. I am sure I am going to use this frog many times in the future.
