Bling Box

My friend was moving and getting rid of a few of her things. I saw this box where she was storing old receipts and bills, she was about to get rid of it. It was sturdy, but  little banged up. I knew that those little drawers would be perfect for storing my bling! So I got my paper and gear out to alter this most wonderful box to store all my precious gems!

I had to carefully remove the drawer handles before wrapping them, then I attached the handles back to the box with gemstone brads and Zip Dry glue to make sure they were secure.

The words were done with Gypsy font and welded together then cut on chipboard and then on to DCWV glitter paper, inked and blinged! The patterned papers are a mix of DCWV Nana's Kids sheets and K & Company Amy Butler Belle sheets. The ribbon I had in my stash and the flowers are from Petaloo Daisy Box Blends, I so love their flowers!


Happy scrapping!

My Pink Stamper Design Team 2011 - Challenge & Submission

This card is my submission to the  My Pink Stamper Design Team 2011 - Challenge and Submission.Her challenge:  Make a card, scrapbook page, or other Cricut project with your favorite cartridge using her favorite colors......Pink, Green, Brown and another optional color of your choice. I chose my favorite color Blue and hands down my favorite cart is Create a Critter.The inspiration behind this girlie dinosaur card is my 5 year old daughter. She loves pink, is quite girlie, but loves dinosaurs, trucks and rough housing with her brother. She can also be seen walking around with a much loved (a brownie shade of pink) bunny, who she calls Pupu (finnish word for bunny).

The card is 5 1/2 x 5 1/2. The dinosaur was cut from Create a Critter at 4 inches, the bunny was cut with Paper Doll Dress Up at inches 5 inches. That poor bunny was bent and inked to make her look well-loved.

So this card is for all the girlie-tomboys out there! ROAR!

Hello Friends Card

A graduate of the high school in my town is now a US soldier serving in Afghanistan. He wrote home to his teachers and the parents in the community, that there is a school near to where he is stationed in dire need of the basic supplies that children in the US take for granted. I got together a few supplies to donate, but when I was asked to make a card to send over with the package I was quite chuffed!

The package was to be sent for Christmas but I thought since Christmas is not celebrated in Afghanistan then I would make a friendship card. This is what I came up with.

The card size was 5 1/2 X 8 1/2. I made it twice the normal size to have enough room for the teachers and kids to sign it.

I used Everyday Paperdolls and Going Places carts for the cuts. I did have to edit the shirt on the Afghan boy with my Gypsy to get it long enough and his hat was just a cap with the tip trimmed off.
The boys and clothes were cut at 4 1/2 inches, The world was cut at 3 3/4.  I embossed the American boy's sweater with the snowflakes Cuttlebug folder then inked it to make it pop.

I used Peachy Keen Everyday Character Faces Assortment stamp set for the face and Glaze White pen for the white of the eyes. I downloaded the flags from online and printed them on photo paper and attached them to toothpicks.

The 'Hello Friends' stamp was actually taken from 2 different stamp sets. 'Friends' from My Pink Stamper Punny-licious set and 'Hello' from TPC Studio-Greetings set.

Enjoy. Please feel free to email me with questions and I love comments!
Happy Scrapping!

Disney Princess Card and Trinket Box

I made this card for my daughter who turned 5 years old today!  My orders were "Mommy, I want  card with three princess on it!'
I used Happily Ever After Cart and my gypsy for this project. The card is the largest I’ve ever made measuring 7.5 x 6 inches when closed. The box is a round wodden box I bought from AC Moore. All the princesses were cut at 3.5 inches. Any smaller and it would be even harder to piece together. I used ALOT of Stickles on this project!

Dinosaur Train Card

I made this card for my son's birthday. He just turned three years old. He loves trains all he talks about is Thomas last year I made him a Thomas card in SCAL. This year he also has a thing for dinosaurs. So I thought of combining both. I used the Create a Critter cart with my Gypsy, for the project. I think Create a Critter cart is a must have for parents with little ones.

Thomas on last year's card:

Dinosaur train card:

I used the Gypsy because I could hide portions of the images I did not want and to save paper. I hid the faces on the train and the sun, so that only the dinosaurs were smiling. Its also nice to hide other portions of the trains so that I didn't have to cut the same thing twice in two different colors.You can still cut the same card without the Gypsy though.

Sizes for the cuttings:
The card base is a folded 8 1/2 X 6 inch piece of cardstock
Patterned piece of paper is 4 X  5 3/4 inch
Palm trees (1 regular and 1 flipped) - 2 1/2 inches
Sun - 1 3/4 inches
Train - 1 3/4 inches, you will also need another train car cut at 2 inches
T-Rex - 2 1/2 inches
Brontosaurus - 2 1/2 inches.

Ink the edges for more definition. 
Glue the trees and the sun flush onto the card but use pop-dots to pop up the train and dinosaurs.

Happy cutting everyone!
