Happy Birthday, Ryan!

My 100th post and my son's 9th birthday!  Wow, time flies!  I made a card for my DS' birthday today which I'm also linking to the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge blog with the pocket theme.  This is an A2 sized card.  The dino cut is from the Cricut Create a Critter cart and is stamped with one of the Peachy Keen Everyday Character Face Assortment set.  The grass cuts were from one of the free images I got from the Silhouette Studio store and of course cut with the Cameo.  The sentiment font is from Lettering Delights called LD Red Hatter's Hand.

Here is a picture of the inside of the card.

All the cuts inside are cut with the Cricut.  The "pocket" tag to hold his special gift is from the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More (TBBM) cart, flood filled with art from the JT Imagine cart.  The "Happy Birthday" is from the Elegant Cakes cart.  The "Dino Mite" is from the Create a Critter cart.

Thanks for visiting me today!  

Just Because.....it's Halloween ;)

Hi there!  Today I'm sharing a quick and simple triangle treat box I created for my kids to give out to their teachers on Halloween.  I am also linking it to a couple of challenges: (1) Cricut Circle Blog Weekly Challenge [Feeling Gifty] and (2) the Bitten By The Bug2 [Happy Haunting Witch Challenge].  The base of the triangle box was cut from the Tags, Bags, Boxes & More (TBBM) cart at 5 inches so I can cut two of them using a double sided 12 x 12 cardstock.  The witch image is of course from the Happy Hauntings cart.

Before I assembled the box I inserted a piece of vellum paper to cover the negative cut of the witch image as you can see below.

For the tag I used the bat tag image from the Wrap It Up cart, both layers cut at 3 inches.  The blackout layer is cut in black because I am going to have my kids write their teachers' names in white gel pen.  I embellished the tag with some black raffia and a home dyed crinkle ribbon.  Then I attached the tag to the box using a ring spider as you can see below.

And there you have it!  All supplies except for the candies inside and the spider rings were from my stash.  Project #15 for Using My Stash pledge at the CC MB.  Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday!  I do appreciate you stopping by ;)

CC Blogiversary Challenge #4 - Imagine Challenge

My entry for the CC Blogiversary Challenge #4 is a quick and simple one - a tag/gift card holder.  My children have been invited to a friend's birthday party in a couple of weeks and since I know we are getting him a gift card instead of trying to find something a soon-to-be 12 year old would like, I've created a gift card holder.

For this 4th challenge, we are asked to use our Imagine machine.  Here are the cuts before I assembled my project:

The tag/gift card holder image is from the TBBM cart, flood-filled with an art image from the JT Imagine cart.  The bass guitar image is also from the JT Imagine cart, all layers cut  and adhered together with foam mounts.  The sentiment "Celebrate" is a stamp from CTMH, stamped on a tag that is preloaded onto the Imagine machine itself, flood-filled with art from the Imagine More Cards.  I just embellished with ribbon and some Irock gems. 

Yep, told y'all it was quick and easy!  Hope everyone's having a wonderful Sunday!

****Ahhh!  Almost forgot to mention that this makes project #8 for Using My Stash pledge at the CC MB! ****

Ah, heck late again!

I am such a bad Aunt :( !  Completely forgot to give one of my dear nephews a gift on his 9th birthday.....are you ready for this?  Back in May!!!  So to make it up to him I am including a big fat Target gift card in this gift box I made - to help fund a new DS game.  He'll forgive me - not because of the big fat gift card but because I'm still his favorite Aunt ;p hahaha! 

I created the base of the box to hold the gift card from the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cart.  The pirate hat and layers are from the Boys Will Be Boys cart.  The palm tree and the treasure map are from Paper Doll Dress Up cart.  The pirate ship is from the Wrap it Up cart.  The base of the tag attached with a black tulle was cut from TBBM.  I welded the anchor and the steering wheel cuts onto the base and then cut them out separately in white cardstock - they are from Life is a Beach cart.  

 

BTW this is my project #2 for Using My Stash pledge over at the CC MB.  I am also entering this in the Bitten By the Bug2 challenge using TBBM cart, as well as the Fantabulous Cricut challenge with the pirate theme. 

Hope you like and thanks for looking!
