Skating Party Invitation

I made this skating party invitation for my friend Kim. Her son is having a skating birthday party and she couldn't find invitations that she liked. I used the Cricut cartridge Groovy Times. Hope she likes them :-)

I ordered my Cricut Expressions 2. Can't wait to get it!

Happy Scrapping,

Birdie Card

I was inspired to make this card when I saw the cute little birds on a piece of

paper I purchased. (http://www.3bugsinarug.com/ April Showers collection) I wanted to make a litte birdie for my card that closely resembled the ones in my paper. I used my ornament punch (Stampin Up), a 1 1/4 inch circle, some 7mm wiggle eyes, and a few strips of cardstock. I added my birdie to a card base that has a bit of an unusual fold and embellished with some pretty ribbon. Very simple!

Happy Stampin,

Purse Invitation

This super easy purse invitation was one of the make and take projects that we gave to each person who registered for Scrap-fest. This one is my sample (we acutally used a different paper) so I was experimenting with ribbon and embellishment choices. I used my I-top to create the matching brad on flower. (not exactly centered but then life's not perfect!)

Happy Stamping,

Easel Card

I made this easel card using my Sizzix Big Shot, the scallop circle die, #3 circle die, and the Beautiful Butterflies die (Stampin Up). I embellished with a few beads and a snip of ribbon. I think it is a neat twist on the traditional flat, boring card.

Happy Stamping,

Raspberry Lemonade Card

Sorry I haven't posted much lately. I have been busy with Scrap-Fest (A one day scrapbooking event with lots of classes and shopping that is a fundraiser for Erickson All Sports Facility) In the next few posts I will show some of the projects I taught.

This card was made with vellum cardstock. I colored the inside of the vellum glass with rose red and yellow ink to make the lemondade part. Chunky glitter on the rim is supposed to look like sugar. I added a lemon and a hot pink straw (not pictured) to complete the card. I think it's pretty cute!

Happy Scrapping,
