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.
I have never made an easel card and thought that would be a good challenge for me.
I made my mom's Mother's Day card for a challenge.
It was so much easier then I thought it would be.

Supplies:

Cricut Cartridge - Close To My Heart Artiste - Banners and Shape.

Close To My Heart - Chantilly Paper Collection.

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!!!!!
