This understated card was inspired by a design from Kristina Werner. I liked how easily it came together yet how "together" it looked. This could be for any occasion - inside I included a brown "Happy Birthday" rub-on sentiment.
I made this card from sweet hubby, Steve. To be honest, I usually don't make him cards. This weekend though he is doing this obstacle course race with his brothers called the "Toughest Mudder." Since I can't be there I thought I would send him off with some inspiring sentiment. Plus it gave me a reason to use my new brick embossing folder from Tim Holtz! I really like how all the colors play off each other and have a masculine feel.
Sorry for the blurry picture - YUCK!
The sentiment was cut using the Cricut and Sure Cuts a Lot 2. I cut the words out of pink vinyl. I used the negative part of the vinyl on the top and the letters for "Sunshine" on the pocket.
The sun was attached with some yellow rick-rack and sits inside the pocket for a little surprise. The file is from Lettering Delights Banner Day svg file. I first cut it in orange cardstock and than yellow. I also white-line dashed it and added a yellow button to the middle.
I created this chandelier using black vinyl and my Cricut. The chandelier is 12 inches wide and about 18 inches tall. My Cricut settings were a 3 for both pressure and speed. I also blinged it out with some self-adhesive jewels I found in the scrapbooking section of Hobby Lobby. The jewels are pear shaped. I have 2 of these chandeliers in my bedroom. My hubby helped me put them because it was so high up - what a trooper to be applying vinyl for me!
Another card stamped by Lukey - this time for my mom for her birthday. We used both a heart stamp and dragonfly stamp on white cardstock. Adhered the piece to some patterned paper and than a green card.
The sentiment was from a stamp in a great Inkadinkado clear stamp set. I stamped in pink and then added Stickles to the edge. I also glued a green flower embellishment to a pink button and added a pink jewel on top. The crocheted lace was from my Grandma Hildie's collection!
I needed a birthday card for my mother-in-law and thought it would be fun if Lucas helped me stamp. I started with the white card base and let him stamp owls and hearts wherever he wanted (I did a couple in where needed!). I then layered the white on patterned cardstock and a yellow card.
Both the sentiment and balloons are from a great clear stamp set from Inkadinkado - #60-30444. I stamped the balloons first, cut them out, adhered using glue dots, and added brown string with glue. I also blinged out the sentiment and some dots on the patterned cardstock using Stickles!
