When I was thinking of making this birthday card I ran across this card idea from Impress Cards and Crafts with a small terrarium on it. With cactus and terrariums being trendy right now I thought I would go for it!

Two Quick Cards
It was a very busy holiday season for me, even almost busier after the holidays were over! I did have a couple of birthday cards to make that I had to make on the fly.
Activity Clock Card
So the people in my life that are into Harry Potter just keeps growing. My friend’s child is at that tender age where he is starting to read the books so I now can make more Harry Potter themed cards!
Tool Chest Card
For my Father’s birthday I decided to make a tool chest card. I had purchased a cool extra deep embossing folder of metal plates and I couldn’t wait to use it!
Bird and Angel Cards
For the New Year I am finally getting around to posting this year’s Christmas card!
This card was designed around this beautiful, sparkly, pine cone fabric that I just had to get when I saw it! I had some other ideas in my head for Christmas cards this year but they all when out the window when I saw this. I had been cutting out some fabric on my Silhouette for another craft project so I just added this to the queue! Continue reading “Bird and Angel Cards”
Pattern Card
When my sister’s birthday came around I decided I needed to change up my card making a little. I’ve been using a lot of metallic and grungy things in my cards and I wanted to mix things up! So I dug back into my picture stock and found this old sewing pattern image. I used to use these 1950’s vintage images a lot so it was fun to bring it back.
Bat Card
Bats are such good themes for Halloween! They work for a Dracula card and just about any Halloween theme, a bat is not out of place. This image that I got from The Graphics Fairy was so lovingly drawn but so clinical, that they looked like they should be in a display case. So that’s what I made my card’s look like!
Cat Album
This cat album all started when my sister wanted Dumpling Cats for her birthday. Being a good sister I crocheted her a whole set of them. I gave myself a generous amount of time to make them and they were so cute I ended taking them all sorts of places to show friends. I then started taking pictures of the cats having their adventures and put them in a cute little album/card to give to my sister with the cats!
Paris Birthday Card
So I have been trying not to buy so many craft supplies because I already have so many, but sometimes I just can’t resist! I picked up an Evolution Advanced die-cut and embossing machine at Tuesday Morning one day (something that happens fairly often I have found out,) so of course I had to get a bunch of stuff to use with it – sigh. However, it has been so much fun! I mostly got it for embossing since I have the Silhouette cutting machine, so when my friend’s birthday came around I decided to do a french themed card so I could use my “carte postale” embossing folder.
Poe Halloween Card
This is last year’s Halloween card. I love using literary references for Halloween and that year I went with a Edgar Allen Poe theme and came up with this Tell-Tale Heart card.
