Hockey birthday card

Thus year is all about using supplies I already have. So to make this card I dug into my scrapbooking supplies. I found this jersey it was perfect because the recipient of the card is a Toronto fan. I thought of cutting the sticks and puck on my Cricut but found some stickers for them. The background papers came from a SCT sampler.
The inside of the card had a Stanley cup (Close to my Heart) which I stamped with stazon in. We had already signed the card when I took a picture of the card so I am not showing the full inside.

Plates for Santa and Ruldoph

Here are some plates I made for my neighbours. I got the plates from the Dollar Tree.
These cuts are free with my Cricut subscription.

Christmas album

I can hardly believe that I have finished my Christmas Album already.  This year at Crop and Create I purchased an album kit. It is the first time I have ever done one of these.  I finished the album before Christmas so all I had to was plop the photo's down.
Thanks to Catherine and her gang for this.

Wine and Cheese Birthday

This card was made for a co-worker, who like me loves wine and cheese.  I used stampin up Half full stamp set for this.  I colored the images with Spectrum Noir markers.  I used paper from the SCT sampler packs I recieve.  I added the piece of cheese by doing a draw then cut on my Cricut Maker.
Inspiration came from pinterest, unfortunately I can't find the link for that.
I changed the Sentiment stamps, they both come from Stampin Up, and the cheese was an addition.

Bra card

This is a card I made for a co-worker last month.  I saw similar cards and created a cut file for it.  I used paper from a wedding pack I purchased at Michaels.  I used jewels from Michaels as well, the butterfly stamp was from Close to My Heart.  the base of the card was done on my Cricut Imagine because I didn't have the right color of cardstock.

Life

I bought some canvas from the Dollar store so I could try the reverse canvas technique.  I cut the canvas off the frame using an exacto knife.  I then put Gesso on the canvas as I was working with water.  I used some Vicki Boutin art crayons to create my background, then added some "scrunched plastic" to put splotches all over.  I used cricut Iron on vinyl and a cricut sentiment.  I heat pressed for about 25 seconds.  I then painted the frame and placed the canvas back onto the back of the frame with a staple gun.  This was a lot of fun and hope to make more of these.

Baby girl card

Wow, it has been so long, unfortunately life happens.
I've decided to make a concentrated effort to blog again.
I'm starting off with a baby girl card.  Inspiration for this card came from pinterest, here is the link.
www.pinterest.ca/pin/842525042763652337/.
I just changed a couple of things, one is the sentiment and the other is the embossing folder.  I wish I had embossed the heart with the swiss dots folder, but it was an after thought.
I used memento black ink, Michaels cardstock for the black and white, and retired Pretty in Pink from Stampin Up.  the stamparatus was very helpful as I had to stamp the Panda (Party Panda's) 3 times.
The heart was a punch from Creative Memories.
