"You Light Up My Life" Card using "Sweet Talk Postage Stamps" Cardstock from K&Company

I needed to get some crafting time in today and here comes Emma from "My Creative Time" to the rescue with a Throwback Challenge for today. The challenge was to create any type of Valentine's Day card using your favorite Cricut cartridge. Although I did not pull out my Cricut for this card, I definitely got in my "me" time!!! To check out some other creations for the Throwback Challenge visit Emma's site --- you won't be disappointed.




I used a "postage stamp" from the Brenda Walton collection for K&Company - Sweet Talks cardstock. I also used the "Bless" paper out of the Euphoria collection from Basic Grey. The music notes at the bottom were stamped in some pink Cat's Eye pigment ink and then embossed with some sparkly star dust powder. I do not remember what brand the music note clear stamp is from but do know I got it from Hobby Lobby and it comes in a set of 5 backgrounds. It stamped really well!

The ribbon was re-purposed from a stack of washcloths - it was tying them all together. How eco-friendly am I???

Butterfly Card using "Oh Hello Flutter" SVG set from Lettering Delights

This is a great butterfly card that can be used for any occasion! The striped paper is from a great 12 x 12 pad that Amy Butler made for K&Company called "Lotus". The orange and blue patterned papers are out of the "Joy Ride" 6x6 stack from Cosmo Cricket. I added some silver twine from my Grandma Hildie's collection and pop-dotted the butterfly after adding some jewels to her (yes, the butterfly is a "her"!)

The butterfly was cut using the "Oh Hello Flutter" svg set from Lettering Delights. I then embossed it with the D'Vine Swirl folder from Cuttlebug and also sprayed it with the Perfect Pearls Shimmer Mist from Ranger.

Baby Boy Orange & Blue Card

Hi All - Thank goodness it is the weekend. A long week traveling but glad to be home. Last weekend I had the chance to make cards for upcoming parties and birthdays. I made this Baby Boy card for a baby shower I have today.

- I made this card using the Itsy Bitsy Baby Boy 8x8 paper pack from K&Company. I love this pack and use it also for my 8x8 baby albums I make for family and friends.

- The word "baby" is from a set of clear acrylics I think from Deja Views.

- I also just cut very small vertical rectangles to make the slit for the orange and white striped ribbon.

- I cut the scalloped edges on the light blue paper (underneath the work "baby") using a scallop scissors. Sometimes it is hard for me the keep the scallop line going straight but getting better at it.

- The Special Delivery truck and stars are from a set of die cuts from the Itsy Bitsy Boy collection from K&Company. I am digging these die cuts. You get 2 of each design with one side being glittered and the other not. Add a pop dot underneath and you got a 3-D embellishment. I will also being using these on the baby albums. The set of die cuts is also super inexpensive -- only $3.99 at Archiver's. Use a 30% coupon on them and they become even more affordable. I have checked out other craft stores and Archiver's is the only one I have found to carry them.

**Note the Itsy Bitsy line also comes in Baby Girl. This card could easily be converted to a girl theme with a different design paper and die cuts.
