A Mother's Day Card






Hubby's Birthday Card

My hubby has a Birthday Coming up. I made a quick easy card for him that I know he will love.

He loves is Beer!!!  So I thought this would make a perfect card for him.




The Cut is from a Cricut Craft Room Download.
It is a Father's day card that I altered into a birthday card for my hubby.
I hand cut the word dad off the image and replaced it with my hubby's name.
I used the Base Camp cartridge for the font for hubby's name.
It was cut out at 1/2"
The base of the card was cut at 6-1/2"
I used foil paper for the overlay for the front of the card.

Mother's Day Card


Mother's Day Card

I've been getting in on some challenges for National Scrapbook Day.

It was so much easier then I thought it would be.
Supplies:
Cricut Cartridge - Close To My Heart Artiste - Banners and Shape.

The card fold up to be a 5x5 card.
I added buttons for embellishment.

Teapot Plaques and Decorative Holders

Well I had to go back to the drawing board. My daughter liked the teapot plaque so much she asked me if I could do another one. Only flip the Teapot the opposite direction. I said I could do this.
Then she asked if she could have my decorative holder. I said I could make another one.
I'm just happy she liked them so much. I do have to admit 2 teapots are better then one.
I had my GD help me with the 2nd one. She really enjoyed painting the teapot plaque.
Here is my daughter's house warming present. 2 teapot plaques and a decorative holder.
I think these 3 pieces look good on stands too.  So now it is settled this is my daughter's house warming present!!!  She is very grateful and appreciative that I made these for her.



These decorative holders I made for myself. LOL
I'm keeping them for decorative Craft room storage!!
I'm might bling up the 2 side holders more. I just have decided yet.
I know sometimes when I post things on my blog.
I see things in a different light and make some changes.
So don't be surprised if you see me posting more about these pieces. LOL




Enjoy!!!!!

 I made my daughter a house warming present. She loves teapots. So I found this wood teapot at Michael's. I painted it with acrylic paint and sprayed it with a glaze. Then embellished it with a vine, flowers and butterflies.
