Birthday Card with a hint of Canadian

Hello fellow bloggie friends:) I have a birthday card to share with you all today. My brother asked me to make him a birthday card for his boss. He asked that the Canadian maple leaf be somewhere on it:) So I jumped on the Silhouette store and found this beauty.


Even though I was short on time,  I think this was the fastest card I put together:). I loved how it came out!

I used the "Happy Birthday" Cuttlebug folder on the maple leaf, to give it a bit more of detail along with some gems to give it some sass. The sentiment on the front of the card is from My Creative Time's Floral Sentiments.



On the inside of the card I used a smaller maple leaf and added the adorable classy girl silhouette from  My Creative Time's Classy Girl Furbaby Die set and My Creative Time's Classy Girl Accessories. This is the first time I used this set of dies, and I can assure you, it wont be the last. They are so much fun! The inside sentiment came form My Creative Time's Wow So Many Candles Stamp Set. I added some sequence to give it some sparkle:)


I had an extra maple leaf so I added it to the back of the envelope to give it a classy look:)

I would love to enter my card in the following challenges:

Halloween Card with Tim Holtz stamp

Image
Hi crafty friends, I made this card with one of Tim Holtz day of the dead stamps. A rather simple, but super cute 4x4 card. This was the first time I made a card this size, and it won't be my last:) I used my Spectrum Nior color pencils to color the flowers on the image and some Tim Holtz stickles. I added some sequence on the corners of the cards and stamped a Halloween sentiment on the inside of the card. Simple, easy, and cute:) I would love to enter my card into  the  Simon says stamptember Tim-holtz challenge . Thank you for stoping by, and leaving me some crafty love. Have a great day Crafty friends:)

Easter Treat Tubs

Hello fellow bloggers:) I have another Easter project to share with you all today. I used the color key from  Color Throwdown  as my color inspiration for my cute bunnies. The bunnies are from  Peachy Keen's  March 2013 monthly stamp club kit. I colored them with my Spectrum Nior markers. I've been saving these tubes for awhile now. I knew that they could be recycled into something awesome in the future, and boy was I right:)lol. I used a lot of  My Creative Time's  dies and stamp sets on my project. If you don't have any of  Emma's  products you must get your hands on some. They are absolutely fabulous and high quality just like Peachy Keen's  are:)   I would love to enter the following challenges: Color Throwdown: Chanllenge 289 Die Cuttin Divas: Challenge 162 Earth Day Cardz Tv: Challenge 6 Spring Craftin Desert Divas: Linky Party 3 Girl Jam: All Things Spring Ooh-la-la Creations Challenges Little Scrap Pieces: Happy Eas

Enjoy the Simple Things

Hello fellow crafters, I have a card to share with you all today. For my card today, I used the BINGO theme from House Mouse Challenge . I used the line right in the middle (Orange, Yellow, and Green) option. These three colors remind me of fall, and I love fall! The aroma of pumpkin, cooler weather, the holidays, just love what fall brings along. I recently purchased this stamp at Scrapbooking Made Simple , a local scrapbooking store (they also have an online store option) and I really wanted to use it, so I thought this challenge would be a perfect time to do so. The colorful leaf paper is from the DCWV Amber Autumn card stock stack. I used one of my Nestabilities dies to cut out a piece of orange card stock. The name of the House Mouse stamp that I used, is called "Fence Falling."                                                                                   The sentiment is from  My Creative Time , the cute tiny green, orange, and yellow leaves are
