These are 3 card that I made using my Cuttlebug embosser folders. I then used a glitter gel pen to trace/outline all (or most) of the embossed images. I used rhinestone bling to add a little extra to the card. I really like how these turned out, and they are very quick and easy to make. Thanks for looking!

This is a very simple train card I made using the My Community cartridge for the train. I used a couple small brads to connect it. I used the Celebrations cartridge for the word "Celebrate". I used bling rhinestones for the smoke coming from the train. I think this is a very cute card to use for a little boy.

Large tissue tile




I made this tissue tile for my mom for her birthday. This was done using a 12x12 tile. I think it makes a very nice collage.

Tissue Tiles











These are my first attempt at tissue paper tiles. They are of my two sons. I made a set for my dad and a set for my father-in-law. I couldn't believe how easy they were to make and how incredibly cute they turned out.
I used the Storybook cartridge to cut the names and year using vinyl. I of course used my gypsy to size my letters and numbers correctly. I then used Modge Podge to seal it.

Friendship

This is a card I made for one of my BFF's for her birthday. I scraplifted the idea from someone on the Cricut Messageboard. I wish I could remember who, but a great big thank you to whoever it was, because I really enjoyed making this card. I used my Cuttlebug to emboss the background.
The inside of the card said ... Thanks for being the pee in my pants!
Cute don't you think?

Father's Day

These are the Father's day cards I made this year. I made my husband a 4-wheeler card, but I forgot to take a picture of it.




















This is the fishing card I made for my dad. I used a few different carts for this one, but mainly Everyday Paper Dolls. I used my gypsy to layout the background and then to cut it out with the cricut, so I would no where everything would be on the card since it has a lot of elements to this card.
















This is the card I made for my Father-in-Law. He was a carpenter by profession, before he retired. I used the new Cricut Lite cartridge Handy Man. (With the exception of the man, which was made with Every Day Paper Dolls.) I love this cart for guy cards and layouts. The #1 Dad is from the new Cricut Lite cart Celebrate with Flourish. I'm really enjoying the new lite carts and am having a hard time deciding which one to buy next, although I think I have it narrowed down to just two!

Butterfly card


This cute little butterfly is from the Create a Critter cartridge. I used my gypsy to make her into a card. I used distressed stickles for the glitter on her wings and antennae. She was fun to make. I used this card for a birthday card for a wonderful little girl who just turned 5.
