DIY ink stand.

I finally got rid of an old computer that I had on my work space.  This has really opened up so much room.  I had a lot of ink pads that would not fit into my Stampin Up ink pad tower, so I decided to try and make one.  I purchased White foam board from the Dollar Store and started cutting.  I used hot glue to hold it all together.  I used two foam boards but I still want to add two more shelves since I have pretty much filled these ones up, so I will buy another foam board and add to this.

I want to put washi tape along all of the edges to make them smoother.  I'm not sure if this is going to fall apart, but I'm really liking it so far. 

Baby Girl boxed card.

I made this card for a co-worker last summer.  The cut file is on Cricut Design Space, if you search boxed cards you will find it.  It is quite simple, if I had had more time I would have embellished more.

Cricut Tool Caddy

For my birthday this month I received a bottle of wine in a wooden box.  I was about to throw the box away when I had a great idea, turn it into a cricut tool caddy.
I created a template and then asked my neighbour (who has a dremel) to make the cuts.  I still have to decorate the box but this is what it looks like.

Shimmer and Shine Birthday

Last year I was asked to make a Shimmer and Shine birthday card as well as cupcake toppers.  I really just printed the picture for the card, added some watercolor background  and mounted on a 6 x 6 card base.
For the toppers I printed and then used a scallop punch and put them on cake pop sticks.

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.

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.
