Birthday Card

Hello Crafty Friends, 

just a quick post with a Birthday Card I made for my Dad, he turned 60 this year, this is a tri-fold card, I learned how to make these thanks to Sheila at She's A Sassy Lady, these are so fun to make, and once you make a template on your Gypsy, the possibilities are endless......you can find out how to make the template here...she has the most amazing videos, if you are not to familiar with your Gypsy Sheila has many videos to help you out....

  the frog is from Boys Will Be Boys, and the balloons are from Birthday Bash,

 the back layer of the card is were  welded the balloons

 the middle layer is were I welded the frog, I also added gogglie eyes

  and I saved Happy Birthday for the front layer....

 I really like how the colours pop off the black card

  I also made this poster board with Happy 60th Birthday G.O.M. (he calls himself the Grumpy Old Man...GOM lol) even though he really is the total opposite,

we thought it would be fun to have everyone who came to his party to write him a little message, His party was just GREAT!!!! and he loved his card,

here is my Dad the day before his party, ( his actual birthday) with the birthday cake I made him....yes I know it is pink, but that is what happens when you try to make a Cherry cake with cherry filling and cherry icing, you mix the cherry filling with the white frosting, you get pink...sorry dad, LOL I was so happy to celebrate my dads 60th birthday , the doctors told us when he was 54 he would only live 3 to 5 years, he was diagnosed with Multiple Myloma over 6 years ago, it is a rare type of cancer...so 6 years later I look at everyday with my dad as a gift, and treasure every moment I spend with him....
Thank you so much for stopping by today,

Valentines Day Card

Hello Crafty Friends, 

I hope you all are well today.

Today is my day to share a project over at She's A Sassy Lady, if you haven't visited Sheila's Blog, you must head over there, she has weekly challenges....with prizes.....and the most amazingly talented designers in this bloggy world!!!! 

For my project today, I decided to do a shape Valentines Day Card for my hubbie......

So using my Gypsy, I welded 2 images together, The image I used was the Shadow feature of the Bustier from Tie The Knot Cartridge.

 I used all the layers for the bustier....

 using all Stampin Up Paper this is the card and front layer of my card

 the other 2 layers are white and black

 here is my card standing on it's side....

 I put my layers together, and added pop dots for a little dimension..

 I used Diamond Stickles on the buttons and white area....LOVE me some Stickles....

  I still thought it needed a little something else, so I brought out some Glossy Accents......

 here is the glossy accents still wet, it takes a little bit to dry, but it adds a great effect to the card....

 I love how it turned out.....

 Thank you so much for stopping by today,
I hope you like my card

She's A Sassy Lady Last Minute Gift Idea....

Hello everyone,
and Merry Christmas!!!!!!!
I can't believe how fast this year has gone by, I am so honored to be part of Sheila's Sassy Designers.....I can't believe that I am part of this Amazing group
Thank you so much Sheila for letting me share with your friends today...
Today is an Idea I saw on the Cricut Message Board,(I jUst LOVE the message board) I am So sorry  that I can not remember who it was, I will look for it, and try to post it, because she did an amazing job and deserves the credit.....
Now onto my project...

using this Diploma Frame, I purchased at Wal-Mart for $3.00

 I Cut the back off using my Exacto Knife,

 then using my glue gun, I glued the glass to the frame....

here is the frame with the glass glued to it, I didn't want my frame to have a back...

 and here is the finished frame, I used my Gypsy to weld the lines to the G then I had to use my exacto knife to cut the middle of the G,
the font I am using is from Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake Art Cartridge, and the & is from, Gypsy Font .....

I used Cricut Vinyl, and put it on the Front of my Frames, these were pretty easy to make, but you DEFINITELY want to used transfer tape or my Cheaper version....... drywall mesh tape, it works GREAT and I have used the same pieces of Drywall tape to make 6 of the frames so far...not to bad for dollar store tape...there are so many possibilities for these frames, I hope you will give it a try, and be sure to let me know if you make some I would LOVE to see them,
 I am making 9 of these for gifts this year , and I just LOVE how they turned out, and I hope you do too.....
Thank so much for stopping by.....

I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas......She's A Sassy Lady DT Post

Hello Crafty Friends....
today I have a card I made for my DT post at She's A Sassy Lady, if you haven't visited Sheila's blog, you MUST visit, there is soooo much talent over there, it is sure to inspire you....
Now on to my card.....
Today's card is a 6X6

My mom LOVES the song "I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" so she was the inspiration for this card....

 using my Gypsy I laid out my images from Create A Critter and Winter Frolic  and cut them out using my Expression, the Santa Hat is from Pooh and Friends and I welded it to the hIppo...

 these are my Chomas gel pen holder and mini sharpie holder, by Amy Chomas...LOVE THEM.....

 so using my gel pen holder and gel pen I replaced my blade and put in the holder....always slip a piece of scrap paper under the area the pen will go, this way you won't get any on your project or machine, I do this when I put the holder in and take it out...

 here is the pen in action, writing the words.." I want a hippopotamus for Christmas" the paper is from my stash...

 I used a red glitter gel pen, I think I need to colour in the words....the font is from Lyrical Letters.....love this font cartridge....

 here a re a few of the new products I used to put this card together...after watching so many of Sheilas videos and seeing her use it, I just had to find me some Zip DRY.....and finally I found it the other day!!!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!! and I picked up a bottle of Snow Writer, from Michael's it was fun to use....it will be fun to use on some of my Christmas cards.....

 I used my Corner Chomper on all my edges....I used the Cloud side, another must have tool....

 I used the tree to decorate the inside of the card...

I decided I needed to colour in the words, so using my red glitter gel pen I coloured in the word....I also went a little crazy with the snow.... :) I think he looks kinda cute with a beard....right? LOL
thank you so much for dropping by today , I hope you liked my card.....
and a BIG thank you to Sheila for letting me share my card with her friends.....
Happy Crafting....

Disney Autograph Book

Hello Crafty Friends,
today is my DT spot at She's A Sassy Lady,
thank you so much Sheila for letting me stop by your blog today and share my book with you and your friends......
we recently took a trip to Disney World, and I just had to make an Autograph Book for my Niece and SIL( for all the characters we saw to sign) SO I thought I would share this with you today, It was so much fun to make......
lets get Started.....
First I will share a picture of the book all together, then a few pictures of how it all went together....

 There are alot of pictures, so get compy.....LOL

 so to start I saved up many many cereal boxes, trimmed and cut them all to
5" x 7"

then came picking all the fun papers to cover the cereal boxes, and using one of my Favourite tools the Corner Chomper to round all the edges

using the Mickey and Friends Cart, and the Pooh and Friends Carts, I started to choose our Favourite Characters....cutting them out at 4 in.      

 I also cut out a fun shape in White for each character to sign on, then on the other page we can put a picture of the girls with each character....

next I also added some scraps to decorate the pages, and using some EK Success Punches to add a little pretty to the pages...

unfortunately Daisy was the only Character the girls could not find....:( but they can still add a fun Disney Picture here...

 Pooh Bear is my Favourite Disney Character...:)

 this is Handy Manny, I have never heard of him before, but my Niece just LOVES him, so using the Other software and my Expression I was able to find him on the internet and cut him out....she was sooooo excited to see him in her book, and to meet him...LOL

 now for some of the girls favourite Characters I don't have like Woodie and Buzz, so I just cut out a cowboy hat and thought we could maybe get some stickers of them to add to the book...

 this page is for Buzz Lightyear

 I also don't have the Princess Cartridges either, but my Girlfriend has them so I have borrowed her carts to finish off the books....Thanks Nataliya!!!!

This is an Image from that other software, I was really not happy with the way it cut out this image, so I will re-cut it out using the Cricut Cartridge I borrowed from my GF....
and to hold it all together I used my Bind It All, (love my Bind it All)


THANK YOU so much for sticking around to look at my book, I really had so much fun making it...
I did add a few extra pages blank so the girls could get more autographs from Characters we didn't think of....
I will have to borrow one of there books and post pics of the books all done,
We got so many compliments on the books standing in line (waiting to meet the characters) and from some of the characters themselves....it was so nice....

thanks again for stopping by to look at my Project today,
I can't wait to get scrapping all those Pictures we took!!!!

If you have any question please leave me a comment(I LOVE your comments)
or drop me and email
thank you so much Sheila for letting me share my project today.....
Happy Crafting
