World Card Making Day

Happy World Card Making Day! I’ve only made one card today, but plan on making some more this evening. I’ve been trying to catch a cold all week, and I finally caught it this morning. So I’ve done a lot of sleeping and watching football today.

Anyway, since it is October, I will start sharing some Halloween cards with you. I used the Cricut’s Mini Monster cartridge to cut out the hat and mummy for these cards.

Thanks for stopping by!

Fabulous

Going to try things a little different, I’m not going to list out all the supplies. I think I will post more cards (which is probably the main reason people visit!) without going through the hassle of listing all the supplies. If someone is interested in what supplies they use, I figure they will leave a comment or send something to me asking what I used.

Here is a card I made a couple of months ago. A friend asked me to make this for one of her friend’s birthday. I bought the dress form die from PTI with the thought of making a skirt out of ribbon. This was my first try!

Birthday Set for Kim

I love making 3×3 card sets. They are fun, cute, and quick to make (usually!). For one of my good friend’s birthday, I decided to make her a set of these with a few other goodies!

The first picture is one of all the things that I put into the set.

Masculine Birthday

Here is a card I made for my Uncle’s birthday. He loves lighthouses, so I downloaded a file from the online Silhouette store to cut out. I also found some bird images on the web that I downloaded, resized, and cut on my silhouette machine. I usually have a hard time with masculine cards. I think this one turned out masculine and my uncle will love it!
