Child's Birthday

You can never have enough birthday cards and that's exactly what the newest theme is over at My Sheri Crafts. Design Team Sister, Sue, had asked us to create a birthday card specifically for someone under the age of 13.

 

It's been a long time since I made any special fold cards so I wanted to do exactly that.  I also wanted to use up my scraps!  The papers are from DCWV.  The gift die cut is from Cricut cartridge: Christmas Cheer. The "Happy Birthday" is a stamp from an all occasion set.  The small square that says "a gift for you" is a stamp I picked up at Michael's for $1. 


Card size: 5.5" x 4.25"  when flat

Happy 4th of July

Fourth of July is next weekend so Design Team Sister, Glenda, had asked us to create any card or project that is patriotic .  Check out the newest challenge over at My Sheri Crafts. 

I wanted to make something a bit on the rustic side so this is what I came up with.  These are scrap pieces of papers from my daughter's Civic class project so I thought they were perfect to use since they're patriotic.  The three layers of stars are cuts from Cricut and I popped them up at each layer for some dimension.  All pieces were inked at the edges... I should have distress the printed paper, but oh well.  The flag heart buttons I've had for over two years and I finally got a chance to use them!  The colors were so bright on them so I also distressed them for a more rustic look.

Something Masculine

Father's Day is coming up soon so Design Team Sister, Sandy, had asked us to create something masculine.  Whether it's a card or a crafty project you'd like to make, come check out the newest challenge over at My Sheri Crafts. 

I don't usually make masculine cards... I have a lot more fun adding flowers to things.  However, it's a necessary thing we must do from time to time.  This one is for my hubby for Father's Day.  He does love his exercise!  The triathlon symbols were downloaded from the internet and I made them  into SVG files to cut with my Cricut.  The border punch is a Fiskar... reminds me of waves.  I fell in love with the  $1 stamp I got from Michael's Craft.  I figured it would be a perfect statement for this high impact exercise card... since I prefer the couch.

Card size: 5.5" x 4.25"

Splish Splash

Summer is approaching fast and the heat is becoming unbearable... especially if you live in South Florida.  What better way to cool off but to go to the beach... or at least drench yourself with water.  Our very own Sheri had asked us to create any project that features the water.  So come check out the newest challenge over at My Sheri Crafts. 

Instead of a card that features the beach, I decided to decorate a simple hand soap bottle.  I used Goo Begone to remove all the branding.  The flourish is from Sizzix and I used a dark brown vinyl because it's water proof.  I hot glued the shells and silk flowers to represent the beach theme.  This is the color theme of my powder room and this project is LONG overdue.

Some of you may remember, this project from My Sheri Crafts #115 "Let's Take a Trip" where I made a wreath.  This wreath is hanging in the same powder room and I just now made a matching accessory for it.  It's been lonely for a long time.  You can check out the details of the wreath here.

Graduation Day 

You got it!  Graduation Day is fast approaching with the end of the school year.  Design Team Sister, Glenda, asked us to create a graduation card or any project that is school related for the newest challenge over at My Sheri Crafts. 

Here is my take on this challenge.   The graduation cap is a cut I've had as an SVG file and I can't remember where it came from.  I popped up the top part of the cap for some dimension.  I made the tassel from DMC cross-stitching floss.  The colors are royal blue and yellow, the middle school colors where my daughter is currently attending... and leaving as she is in 8th grade. "Congratulations Graduate" is a stamp that came from a set of rubber occasion stamps.  The diploma is just 2" of rolled up printer paper and the ribbon is also a DMC floss.  The printed paper is from DCWV and I used a Fiskar photo corner punch to hold it in place.

Here is a second picture with a matching envelope.  The color is a bit off on this one
