Get Well Soon card

Yesterday I heard that one of my clients suffered a heart attack recently.  I decided to make him a card.  I found a card on pinterest and decided to do something similar.  The layout is the same as the pinterest card, but I did change the heart beat on the card.  I also cut it rather than using twine.
I downloaded a clip art and traced the image in SCAL2, then saved it as a SVG and cut it with my cricut explore.
The sentiment came from My Pink Stamper Get Well Wishes stamp set.

90th Birthday

This past Saturday I attended a 90th birthday party.  90 years is quite a milestone don't you think!  The person turning 90 is a male, male cards are so hard for me to do.  I decided to keep it simple.  I used a white card base, then a piece of brown Michaels Cardstock.  I stamped with with My Pink Stamper's Texas Chocolate brown ink.  I then picked a couple of scrap designer paper I had lying around and just glued them together.  I wrapped bakers twine around this bottom of this.  I then used Stampin Up's create a brad and cut two circles to make the brad (I find they top layers of these brads don't stick well so I used glossy accents to hold them together.  I then turned to my Cricut Explore and made the Happy 90th Birthday.  This is certainly not the best card I've made but I'm happy with the results.

Campin Critters -- birthday card

This is a card I made for a co-worker at work.  I won't get into the reason he is getting this card, I'll just leave it up to your imagination. 
I wanted the Campin Critters cartridge for a long time, and finally got it.  The sentiment is from My Pink Stamper stamp set More Punny-licious (with MPS, texas Chocolate).  It reads That stinks!,  the inside of the card will say "that no one knows its your birthday".  Our office manager deleted his birthday from his facebook account because he didn't lock his computer.

Any way the card base is cardstock from Michaels, the layer and the strip on the bottom of the card is from My Minds Eye collection.  The cut is from Campin Critters.  I stamped the cuts for the outhouse with SU Hardwood stamp, with MPS texas chocolate,  All cuts were done with Michaels cardstock.  The cut was done at 3.5 inches,  I used bling for the eyes.

Fabulous work of art

My father was a teacher at RCI in Renfrew, he was head of the Art department.  I made him this card for fathers day. 

Ink for this card was Stampin Up, Purely Pom.,Baja Breeze, Soft Suede, Wild Wasabi, Wisteria Wonder, and Summer Starfruit,  I also used My Pink stamper Texas Chocolate.  I cut the brush and pallet from Locker Talk with my cricut.  I used the blackout feature and cut this out twice at 2.5 inches, I used the layer key and cut it out once with yellow cardstock and once with white.  I used sponge dobbers on the white to match the shades of the ink.

I was inspired by a similar card on Pinterest, which can be found on my card board.  It was done with punches instead of the cricut.

Graduation

Congratulations Ana,
This is a card I made for my son's girlfriend's graduation which is taking place today.  I am not able to get off work as we are short staffed so I wanted to make her a card to let her know I was thinking of her today.  Inspiration for this card came from Pinterest and pinner -- Up State Stamper.  While she used Stampin Up products I used CTMH, You Did It stampset.  The ink I used was My Pink Stampers, Darkest Night, and Stampin Up's Primrose Petals.  The University's colors are red and black, so I added some red just to give a bit more color to the card.  Ribbon from the dollar store, brads are from Michaels.

Rock on birthday

This is going to be my son's birthday card.  He wears a lot of black t-shirts so I thought this might be a good idea.  I wanted something bright for the layered background as it will be early spring, and lets face it after this winter I want something bright. 
I used my cricut imagine to print the layered papers, I used Greeting Cards Inside and out, for the lettering and the backing for my sentiment I used a pattern from Industrial Glow. 
The Rock On was cut using Black Letter.  The sentiment is from CTMH.  Ink was my pink stamper Darkest Night.  I used Martha Stewart Opaque Marker Set to do the stitching on the shirt.

Valentine's Notebooks

I saw a Post on My Pink Stamper for these Valentines Notebooks that Robyn was making for her kids.  I normally bring valentines treats into the office, but this year after seeing the video I decided to make these for the people who have kids.  You can find the link for these here.  http://www.mypinkstamper.com/2015/02/episode-362-valentines-notebook-using.html
I will try to post her video below as well.  I used all of the same sizes that Robyn used in her video.  I changed the critter to the lamb from Create a Critter, and I used a Martha Stewart punch, the in is from My Pink Stamper (Darkest Night), and the sentiment is also from My Pink Stamper , from the stampset More Punny-licious.  I have 3 of Robyn's stampsets and I have to say this is the first time I used them (have only had them for a couple of months), they stamp sooo nice.  You can find her shop at the link above.  I strongly urge you to give them a try.

 

 

Window Valentines Card

Here is a Valentines Card I made for a co-worker.  His and his wife's favorite restaurant is Arturo's.
To make this card I used a SU label punch to make the awning, I used a window die for the window, I used Tim Holtz Embossing Folder for the brick, Sweetheart cricut cartridge, Art Philosophy cricut cartridge and Love you a latte cricut cartridge.  The sentiment is from SU Delightful Dozen stamp set.  I used my cricut and my cricut imagine to create the card, I used My Pink Stamper Darkest Night ink.

Holiday cakes valentines card

Here is a card I made for valentines.  I used the elephant (cut at 3.5 inches), and the scallop with hearts (cut at 1inch).  I used a red mat and layered paper printed in my Imagine from the Bubble gum stripes cartridge.  I added glitter to one heart and the elephant ear.  I stamped the tag from Happy Heart Day (SU), and coloured the hearts with a red marker, then used bakers twine on it.  The elephant and hearts are popped up. The ink is Darkest Night from My Pink Stamper.

My Pink Stamper

My Pink Stamper is up and running again.  She had a bit of a hiatus but now she's back.  When she released her stamp sets before I never had a chance to order any.  Well she is re-releasing some stamp sets and ink pads and she has a new one as well.

I have to say that Robyn was a ton of inspiration to me when I received my first Cricut.  When I purchased my cricut it sat on my shelf in my craftroom for months without being used.  I didn't know what to do with it.  Well then I found the My Pink Stamper Blog, and I have been using my cricut ever since.  (I have 6 of them if you include the Imagine and the Cricut Cake  -- and yes I use them all, I also have 170 cartridges and a gypsy).  Love love love my Cricut.

Please go and support Robyn, her stamps are of the highest quality.
