Cute ball cap card

Our friend's son, Nathan, had his 14th birthday Sunday.  He is completely into baseball, so this cute ball cap card was just the thing.  I designed it in Make the Cut! using Nathan's hat as inspiration and then cut it on my brand new Gazelle.  I just wish I'd taken a photo of it before I gave it to him!  He really liked it and told me he was taking it to ball practice to show his team mates.  How cool is that!

I printed the ball out using Make the Cut's print preview function and printed on my inkjet.  I then used the base layer of the ball and the hinge method to cut the ball (I haven't taken the time to learn the Gazelle's print and cut function) and ran it through the xyron to make a sticker to seal the envelope.

The letters on the cap can be removed and replaced with whatever strikes your fancy, as well as changing the colors of the whole shebang.  I used a glitter pen to outline the letter shadow and color in the letters for a little oomph.  I also ran around the edges of the black parts with a sharpie for an interesting effect.  It's so hard to just finish and quit tinkering!

I had a blast designing this card and it went together super fast.  The best part wasn't the making of it this time, but the reaction from the recipient.  That made my day!

Happy scrappin' y'all!

3D Flower Card with Free SVG and MTC Files!

Last night I designed a new 3D flower and made this sweet little card.  For the background layer I used a recently purchased Martha Stewart scoreboard to emboss lines onto plain white cardstock for a fun little twist instead of using an embossing folder as I usually would.  Purple metallic and gold sparkly papers (from Walmart) make the flower embellishment POP!

Cute and so sweet!

This evening I was messing around in my Make the Cut software and designed a sticker for my sweet daughter.  Her name is surrounded by sea shells and ocean creatures.  MTC's designer, Andy, just rocks!  He put the ability to print your designs rather than cut them, if you so desire.  That's just what I did!  I printed on sticker paper and used the hinge method to cut the shadow of the design on my Cricut and voila!  A custom sticker for my sweetie's room!  She was generous with her thanks(in the form of hugs and kisses)!

A beginning!

This is my very first blog, so please be patient with me. I'm in the process of getting this thing going and soon will be blogging away like KRAZY!

I love to do crafts of all kinds from sewing (which I haven't done lately) to beading and paper crafting. I've been into card making for a bit, using Make The Cut software and my Cricut Expression to design even the embellishments! What fun! And useful too. :) This is a card I did for a swap using Make The Cut to design the 3D flower myself. How cool is that???

I'll be back soon to give more details about my crafting an life in general. See ya soon!
