Here is a card I made for my cousin's Baby Shower. I really love how it came out! The invitation & room decor that she picked was monkey themed & I always like to match the theme, so this is what I came up with.

The card & envelope were made with Bazzill Bling cardstock. I'm not sure who makes the leopard paper that I used for the envelope liner. The card & envelope were made using the Martha Stewart score board. The pink flocked baby girl paper is by Heidi Grace Designs. The rest of the cardstock is all by Coredinations, except for the brown suede paper that I used to cut out the monkey. The purple background paper was made with a color cored cardstock, which is light purple on the inside. I embossed the dot pattern onto it with my Sizzix Texture Boutique & sanded the top to make the light purple appear. The monkey & rattle were cut out with the Sugar & Spice cartridge. I Stickled the hat & rattle, added a little bling to the bow, tied a ribbon around the rattle & gave her brad button eyes. The "BABY" was made with chipboard letters that have adhesive on both sides. I inked the sides & sprinkled pink glitter on top. The "oh baby" inside was stamped with an embossing ink pad, sprinkled with a pink glitter embossing gun & heated with a heat gun.

BLOG HOP!!!

Hi! If you have never been here before Welcome! I am the last stop on the Blog Hop. My name is Erica & I love to craft! This is my first Blog Hop & I hope I do it right!! :) 
The theme is Spring/Easter projects & this is my part

I did a scrapbook layout of Easter 2010. All the papers & cardstock are from DCWV Flower Shower Spring Stack & Spring Carstock Stack. I used a fiskars grass punch for the layers of grass. I used 4 different shades of green & one is a metallic green, which is a little hard to see in the picture. If you click on the photo, you can get a closer view. The "Hoppy Easter", chick, basket, bunny & eggs were cut out on the Cricut using the Celebrate with Flourish cart. The flower embellishments were from a pack of American Girl Crafts stickers that I got on clearance at Michaels. I used a lot of pop dots on this layout. Thanks for looking!

"Guess HOO loves you" Valentine's Day Card

I'm back!! I have a few recent projects that I've done & I want to share them with you. This is a card that I made my hubby for Valentine's Day, to be from me & my 5 year old son. I used the Hoot N Holler Cricut cartridge for this one. The cardstock used is by Coredinations. Thanks for looking! I'll have more to post very   soon. Hope you come back & visit!!!

First Birthday Card

Here is a card that I made for my little cousin for his 1st Birthday. I used DCWV Citrus Stack for all of the cardstock except for the bear which is Bazill Bling paper. For the bear, balloon & the "Happy Birthday" I used the Create a Critter Cricut cartridge. All are on the same key. For the top layer of the bear, I used a Cricut Terrifically Tacky Tape sheet (which I picked up at Michael's on clearance!) & sprinkled on some brown flock so he is fuzzy! To finish it off, I added a star printed strip of ribbon. I think it came out really cute! I really love this cartridge, I can't wait to make more things with it!

Bride to Be card

I just made this card for a friend's Bridal Shower. I used the "Just Because" Cards cartridge to make the base & the scalloped border. I used the Sans Serif cartridge for the Bride to Be. Then I used the Straight from the Nest cartridge for the heart flourish. The card & flourish are made from DCWV shimmer card stock & the Bride to Be from DCWV glitter card stock. I embellished the heart with lilac rhinestones, the scallop with clear dots & dotted the i with a clear square rhinestone. 

Easter Treat Boxes

It has been too long since my last post! I have been too busy to get any projects done! I finally had some free time over the last couple of days though & made these cute boxes for my nieces, nephew little brother for Easter.

I started with a plain white Chinese food take out box. I removed the wire handle & opened it up. I placed a sheet of 12 x 12 patterned paper from the DCWV Spring Shower Stack under it, upside down. Traced around it & trimmed off the excess with a paper trimmer. I sprayed the back of the paper with spray adhesive (after I covered my work area with newspaper. Spray adhesive is very messy!)  & covered the box with the paper. I then folded it back into shape & punched a new hole in it using my Crop a Dile Big Bite. I added an eyelet to the hole & used a Happy Easter ribbon for the new handle. I cut out bunny heads with cardstock from using the Doodlecharms cartridge & adhered them with pop dots. I cut out the kids names using the San Serif cartridge  & glued them on. I topped all the boxes with 2 layered Prima flowers & a rhinestone. Thanks for checking them out!
