Lucy Card

When we celebrated our 25 th Wedding Anniversary I used the colors from the Lucy paper pack in my decorations and invitations. To keep my theme going I made my Thank You cards with the same papers. Cute & Simple.

Thanks for stopping by. See you soon. 

"You are my Joy"

I got out one of my older paper packs to make a layout I had planned on making but just never got to it. Do you know what I mean? Time gets away from you and WOW all of a sudden you are days weeks or months down the road.

So today I have a layout from the CTMH paper pack called "Lucy". It has the colors of Blush, Sweet Leaf, and  Grey Wool. I used the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge to make some flowers for some of the embellishments and the mats for the photo. I used a stamp set called "Keepsake Alphabet" for prt of the title. It is an alphabet that you can connect the letters when stamping to look like handwriting. It was a fun way to add interest to the layout. A few other embellishments I used were Bitty Pearls, Paradise Paper flowers, White buttons from the Basic collection , Dimensional Elements for the Hearts, Blush brads, Sweet Leaf ribbon Waxy flax and embroidery floss for stitching.

I used the pictures from my Granddaughter's 4th Birthday. She was dressed in the perfect colors. How often does that happen?? lol My daughter is the talented cake maker. She made the "Pirate" cake totally from scratch. She makes them down to the tiniest detail. I can't wait to see what her cake will be for her 5th Birthday.

Hope you enjoy these layouts. Come back soon for my next post.

 

Lucy Layout #1

I love the colors of pink and green and the lucy paper pack from CTMH is just that. This line also has Glittery Rub-Ons that coordinate with it which are easy and fun to use on this layout.

All the embellishments on these pages are from the Glittery Rub Ons. The base page is Sweet leaf pattern paper, Grey Wool CS and two other pattern papers from the Lucy kit. It is a great design for using lot's of photos too.

I hope you enjoy this layout. I wil be back with more from this same kit soon.

Thanks for stopping by.

6 Petal Flower

I love making these little 3x3 cards and in doing so I am trying my hand at making different flowers on each one. While browsing the internet I have come across a number of different flowers. I wanted to try my hand at making some of them.  So today I have a 3x3 card that I used the Lucy paper X7149B for the flower and card pieces. For the 1/4" strip I used Pear CS. The flower is made from another B&T in the Lucy paper pack. To make this flower first you need to cut 6 of Petal 1 on page 65 and 1 of Flower 7 on page 39 of the CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge.  The Flower 7 is the cut for the base to build your flower on. The 6 petals will make up your flower. To finish the fower I added a large Cream pearl from the Opaque pearls. The ink colors I used are Sweet Leaf,Pear, and Cotton Candy.
It is an easy flower to make but hard to describe in the written form. If you are interested in making this flower leave me a comment and I will put up step by step pictures for you.

3x3 Lucy Card

I have a 3x3 card for all of you today. Isn't it Sweet?? I am interested right now in making my own Flowers either with the Cricut or Stamps or whatever way possible. This flower was made using the stamp set,  B1365 Spring Up. One of the stamps included in this set is a polka dot flower. It has lines that after it is stamped you cut along the lines to form the flower. To get the flower full looking like this one you need to stamp the flower twice. One is cut out and left flat. The other is cut along the lines and then rolled up with tweezers. Oh!! before I rolled it up I inked the edges and used a small round stick to curl the flower petal edges.  I added a couple of leaves and a tag stamped with "Spring" attached with Bakers Twine and some Color Ready seam binding ribbon to complete the card. The Color Ready Seam Binding is a ribbon that you can color any color you want or use it as it comes. I used the Pear ink in this example using a dauber. It covered it really nicely. This is going to be a fun product to use.
I will list the CTMH supplies below. If you would like step by step pictures leave me a comment and I will add them to this post.
