Pop-up birthday card

I made this for my sister-in-law, and I think it turned out so cute! I was so excited about the inside that I totally forgot about taking a pciture of the front, lol.  This is a cut from Lettering Delights' All Seasons Pop Up cards, and it was super easy!  The cardstock is from DCWV Nana's Kids stack, and I sized the card to be 5x7.  I cut a small piece of black cardstock and glued it behind the face to make it pop more, and that was about all!  The sentiments are stamps from Stampin' Up, and the card base is from the Butterfly Wings Recollections pack.  Thanks for visiting today!

Space themed birthday explosion box

This was also for the eight year old, and the ONLY thing he wanted for his birthday was a telescope, so I knew I had to make this space themed.  He wants to study the stars, as he told us, and I used a cute cardstock from DCWV All About Boys for the base of the box.  The strips on top are scraps from the robot easle card in the last post, and the pieces on the inside are a loose sheet from Joann's.  The telescope and rocket ship are from Lettering Delights Outer Space simple shapes, and the star buttons are from Joann's.  To make the telescope 3-D, I cut three of them, and then took scissors to create small tabs to connect them together at the top.  Making it stand was not esay, but I took glue dots, rolled them up, and stuck the leg of the telescopes into the glue ball, then stuck it to the box.  There was a lot of improvising here, and I still do not know how I pulled this one off!!  LOL.

Anyway, thanks for visiting today!

Robot easel birthday card

Since we had the birthday party for my nephews on Saturday, get ready for a few of their cards, lol.  The first was yesterday, and here is the second.  This one was for the eight year old, and he picked out the paper at Michael's, not knowing it was for his card!  So at least I knew he would like it!  The robot is from Lettering Delights Funky Robots clip art set, and the stamp is SU!  This one was really simple and easy, so thanks for visiting today!

Christmas Lever Card

More Christmas in July!  This is a lever card from the SVG Cuts set Holly Jolly Lever Cards, and this is my first attempt from this set.  All papers are from the S.E.I. Christmas Mint collection, and the card base is a Recollections sheet.  The tag with the sentiment is a cut from Lettering Delights Delilah Tags, and the stamp is SU.  Oh, and just as an aside, if you have Make the Cut and have been out of the loop, you MUST go to the site and download the update.  It is amazing, and has some awesome new features, including the one that imported these layers already in the proper colors!!! 

OK, anyway, instead of using the flowers on the tree itself, I decided to put a couple up in the corners with some white gel pen and green gems to accent them a bit.  Finally, the ribbon on the bottom is just a $0.99 roll from Michaels.  I think that covers it all, so thanks for visiting today!

Happy birthday to my honey!

Yes, you are reading that correctly.  My boyfriend really did have surgery 3 days before his 30th birthday....poor guy.  I made three cards for him, and here is the first. 

I decided that since he was laid up from surgery, I wanted something happy and upbeat, so I used an SVG from Lettering Delights called Pucker Up.  I also put a layer of acetate on top of the "glass" to give it a mor realistic look and feel.  Stickles were applied to the entire outside of the acetate, and the tag is from the MTC gallery.  The buttons are from Joann's, and th border on the inside is from a K&Co embellishment pack.  Both stamps are SU! and the background mat is from Making memories Just Chill stack.  I think that about covers all of it, so thanks for visiting and stay tuned for the other 2 cards over the next couple of days!

Berry happy birthday

This card is for my niece's 20th birthday tomorrow.  I am loving this Lettering Delights dollar sale, and these are two sets I got last week.  I alos need to thank Jin at Under a Cherry Tree.  Disclaimer:  she also used strawberries and the pun "berry" on hers, but I SWEAR I had this idea before I saw that!!  But yes, it is a scraplift technically, so thanks Jin!! The card base is from the Sweet Nothings SVG set, and the strawberries are from a graphic set called Love is Sweet.  I did print and cut with the berries and lettering (with a free font from Urbanfonts.com),  and I did the layers in MTC so I could align them with the windows in the card - yay me!  I added some ribbon to each of the tabs/windows, a couple of color coordinated mats for the inside, an SU! stamp.  This card was so easy, it's unreal.  I feel like the front is still a little plain, but with the tabs, I'm not sure what else I can do.  Thoughts???  The third picture is the front with the wondows all opened up.  Thanks for visiting today!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful day!  My Valentine's Day was tainted a bit because my boyfriend had to have an emergency root canal.  I told him he can make it up to me this weekend, lol.  In the meantime, I am obssessed with Lettering Delights lately.  Here is a printable set I bought last week called Dinomite Valentine Cards.  They are so cute, and I chose one to give to each of my nieces and nephews. 

 Secondly, here is the card I made for my honey for today.  This is also an LD set, called Stuck on You.  I got the SVG set, but with that comes a PDF, so I decided to do a print and cut for this card.  I also printed extra peanuts and strawberries to add some dimension to the "jars".  The paper is from K&Co Valentine double sided stack, and I printed out a nice saying for the inside.  Thanks for visiting today!
