I am finally all done with the card set and now just have to get the posts done and the videos up.  I used "All About Animals" from K. Andrew Designs and the "Animal Kingdom" Cricut cartridge to make this cute little missing you card.  I hope you enjoy today's project and have a great day. I am linking this card to the following challenge: My Craft Spot - Buttons & Bows Simon Says Stamp - Anything goes  

We are taking a little break from the Animal Card Series to show you a different project today.  Hopefully, we will get back to the other set soon. Recently, I coordinated a Stroke Awareness Day at the hospital where I work.  I wanted to make a little thank you gift to those who helped me and those who sponsored it.  I had seen a similar idea to this on Pinterest and I thought it was perfect for this event. I started with a package of "Extra" gum and wrapped a 6.5" X 3" piece of paper from Hot Off the Press.  I used Soft Tints Lavender Swirls and Ticking Stripe. I then cut a piece of dark purple paper to measure 2.5" X 3" and adhered it over the seam to cover the seam.  I pulled these ready made tags from Avery and inked around the edges on both sides with "Dusty Concord" Distress Ink.  I printed my sentiment from the computer and trimmed it to fit inside of the purple piece.  I found some flowers from Recollections that I had spr...

Today I have a super simple and delicious little gift to show you.  I received something similar from a co-worker at Christmas and thought it was adorable.  I was reminded of it again a week or so ago by Mary on CardzTV. As mentioned in a previous post, I recently coordinated Stroke Awareness Day at the hospital where I work.  As part of that day, I had a poster contest.  Each department was asked to make a poster with stroke information on it.  I had planned to get ice cream bars for the winning department, but changed my mind when I saw Mary's video. Here's what I used: Soft tints lavender "Swirls" and "Ticking Stripes" from Hot Off the Press - cut at 1" X 3" Bags - I found these tiny zipper bags in the beading section at Walmart for $2. Hershey's Nuggets candy Purple Card Stock from my stash - cut at 3.25" X 3" White Card Stock from Georgia Pacific with sentiment printed and trimmed to fit All you have to do is add ad...

Of course we have to have something to put all those cards into, don't we?  Today we are taking a break from the cards so I could have a place to store the ones that were finished.  I had piles of cards sitting on a table.  Could be a recipe for disaster should Hobbes, my mangy cat decide he likes googly eyes and twine. I didn't really go through the process of creating the box on the video.  If you would like more information on how to make a box click here .  I just wanted to show you how I decorated it.  The box was made from plain white cardstock from the office supply section at Walmart.  The rest of the paper was from my stash or my scraps.  I didn't have quite enough striped paper to make all 4 boxes, so I made the 4th one from a great scrap from Penny's Playground.  I absolutely love this collection and am pretty much down to scraps.  I'll be sad when they're gone. It's going to be a tight fit to get all 8 cards in the ...

I think these fish are adorable!  I used the Life's a Beach Cricut cartridge and cut them at 4".  Googly eyes make them really fun.  The waves were originally cut out in the pool water paper that you have seen in other cards in this series, but didn't cut cleanly.  I couldn't find more, but I decided this was a more abstract card and the blue ticking paper was perfect! You can barely see the watermark fish stamped on the inside.  I used Versamark and a fish stamp from a $1 set to create the background. The sentiment is from "Splashtastic Summer by K. Andrew Designs.  Mandarin twine from The Twinery is tied through the little orange button. The video has the rest of the details of the card.  I hope you have a few minutes to watch it. Thanks for stopping by and have a supercalifragilisticexpealadocious day!

I "Whaley" hope you are enjoying this series as much as I am enjoying making the cards for it!  I think this whale from the "Splish Splash" Cricut cartridge is adorable.  This was a cartridge that I won several months ago in a giveaway and it's the first time I've used it.  Don't have this cartridge?  No problem!  Go to mycutsearch.com to find what other cartridges have whales on them.  I know I have at least 2 others. I used the "Scripture Sayings" and "Splashtastic Summer" stamp sets to stamp the sentiments on this card.  They are from K. Andrew Designs.  The video will include other information including cut sizes and the other supplies I used. Thanks for stopping by.  Please remember: "Jesus paid it all.  All to Him I owe".

Today is the second in the animal cards series.  Doesn't this alligator look friendly?  I used the "Animal Kingdom" Cricut cartridge.  The sentiment was made by combining 2 stamps from the "Pirate Tales and Fish Scales" stamp set by Kristal at K. Andrew Designs. Inside of the card The video gives more information on the sizes of the cuts and other supplies used.  Thanks for taking the time to stop by today.  Remember: Jesus loves you and wants you to know Him!
