My Sheri Crafts #186

Just a Chillin'

Continuing on with the summer theme, Design Team Sister, Glenda, has asked us to make any project that features  ice cream.  Oh yeah!  My favorite type of treat is this week's challenge over at My Sheri Crafts

I took advantage of this theme to make my niece, Emma, a birthday card.  It's the perfect theme since her birthday party is a "sweets" theme

I made a variation of step A card.  2" x 4.25" for the left panel to fit the ice cream and 3.5" x 3.5" for the shorter panel to fit the "4" since Emma is turning 4! I know you can't see it, but every element is popped-up for dimension

• Card size: 5.5" x 4.25"
• Papers from Basic Gray
• Ice cream is from Cricut cartridge: Sweet Treats
• Embossing on ice cream scoops from Cuttlebug: D'vine Swirl
• Embossing on ice cream cone from Cuttlebug: Mandarin Screen
• Stamp: "happy birthday" colored with Copics markers
• Stamp: "small present" colored with a glitter gel pen
• Tiny pink flowers are a Fiskar punch
• Glitter on ice cream scoops are Stickles
• "Emma" is cut in SCAL - font: Aldhabi
• "4" is cut in SCAL - font: Impact

Down at the Beach

It's summer time!  Design Team Sister, Sue, has asked us to make any project that has a beach or seaside theme for this week's challenge over at My Sheri Crafts

I chose to go with "flip flops" and the straps and sentiment are all popped up for a bit of dimension

This isn't a card you can open up but more like a postcard where you can write on the back.  It will fit a regular note card (A2) envelope

Yes, I know... a little design flaw.  It's not that easy to write on the back with all the popped up elements on the front :P 
 

• Papers are DCWV
• Flip flop cut is from Cricut cartridge: Pink Journey
• "missing you" is a stamp
• Green leaves is a Sizzix die cut

Thanks for looking!

Land of the Free

It's a color theme!  Design Team Sister, Peachy, has chosen this week's theme over at My Sheri Crafts in honor of our upcoming holiday.  Make any project in red, white, and blue

My project is a decor to hang on the door (for inside).  I saw a red, white, and blue ribbon and used that as my inspiration.  I made a giant ribbon to display the "4th of July"

The circle portion is 12" in diameter and with the tail, it's 22" tall

The "4th of July" is from Cricut cartridge: Phrases.  I used embossing powder on "July" and I didn't realize I didn't have red embossing powder, so I used glitter for the "4th of" to make it sparkle.  Both "4" and "July" are popped up
 

• Papers are DCWV
• "4th of July" is from Cricut cartridge: Anna's Garden
• Blue scalloped circle is a Spellbinder die cut
• Red, white, and blue stars are buttons
• Red, white, and blue ribbon was from DT sister, Charlotte

Thanks for looking!

Tags, tags, and more tags

This week at My Sheri Crafts, it is my turn to choose a theme...  I chose to go with tags.  Make any project that features a tag!  

I decided to make a non-traditional tag-shaped tag.  I got the inspiration from walking around Walmart of all places... I saw some tags shaped like feet and hands for newborn presents.  I thought they were the cutest things so I said to myself... "why not?"  I am going to start making more tags shaped like different objects

• "Happy Birthday" is a stamp
• Papers are K & Company
• Butterfly is from from Cricut cartridge: Anna's Garden
• Rolled up flowers are Sizzix die cut
• Purple paper flower is from a Fiskar flower punch
• Flourish are Cheery Lynn die cuts

Accessorize

This week at My Sheri Crafts, DT sister, Sandy, had asked us to create a project with lots of bling or pearls.  I chose to go with pearls in particular.  I decided to make a card with a kimono and Japanese flowers.   The Japanese characters are "Happy Birthday" in Kanji.  I plan to give this to my youngest daughter.  She is currently  infatuated with anything Japanese.  You can't tell from the picture but the kimono is popped up for more dimension

• Kanji characters are printed on photo paper
• Papers are DCWV
• Kimono and the white flowers are from Cricut cartridge: Pagoda
