Play ball!

A friend asked if I could make her a card for her son's baseball coach and cupcake wrappers for the end of year party. I made a quick card using Sports Mania Cart and Pink by Design stamps. This is a 6x6in card, I took a scrap piece of white paper and stamped on the bat and ball to create a boarder. I then cut the ball player at 4" and put him on pop dots. Everything is done in navy blue, gray and white.. his team is the Padres. I used Life's a Party for the cupcake wrappers. I used my Gypsy for this as I wanted a solid wrapper as well as the imaged wrapper. TFL..

A little karate.....

I made this card for a birthday we had this past weekend. I am really pleased with the way it turned out. I was going for that old karate movie poster feel where you see an image 3-4 times in a kick. I don't have the exact cut size I was in a bit of a hurry but I believe it was some where around 3", I used the Sports Mania Cart. I cut the karate figure 3 times and place the first directly on the paper, the second on one set of pop dots and then the third on two pop dots. I used a pink by design stamp for the happy birthday and that was it.  TFL

Welcome Tucker!

A good friend of mine recently had her precious baby boy. I wanted to give her a card with a little extra special touch to it. Now this isn't what I would call your traditional new baby card... She decorated the baby's room in a tranquil turquoise color with trees in complimenting earth tones, it is a beautiful set up. I got to thinking how fun it would be to take one of the trees from the nursery and translate it into a card. So I pulled out my Gypsy and this is what I came up with... The tree is from PDDU and was cut at 4.29" and the leaves came from Hoot n Holler and were cut at 1.04". I placed the tree on pop dots and then carefully glued all of the leaves on. I added some ribbon in the same hues and then sprayed it with a bit of shimmer mist for a little sparkle. I absolutely LOVE the way the card turned out.

 So below is the tree I used for inspiration. This is not a photo of the nursery but this is the same tree that is in the nursery.... I think I came pretty darn close!

 

Baby shower invites

I had an order for baby shower invites and the mother to be loves monkeys! This is what I came up with for the invitations and I think they came out super cute! I used CAC for the monkey and vine. The monkey was cut at 3" and the vine at 4". I inked the leaves on the vine and very lightly on the monkey.  They are also doing a diaper raffle so I made up some simple raffle tickets for the guests to use. TFL

Mother's Day Cards

Now that I know everyone has received their Mother's Day Cards I thought I would share them. A few of these I made for a friend that asked if I could make her cards for her, her family loves Disney so that's the theme i worked with for hers, and then 2 of the designs are the ones I used. There are a lot of pictures but I hope you enjoy!

An apple a day

Today is last last day for teacher appreciation. I thought I would make some monogrammed note cards for my son's teacher. Her last name begins with a 'A' so I found it only fitting to use an apple, and then made one for each day of the week. I used CAC for the apple and hide the face and cut it out at 3". The 'A' came from Car Decals. I then welded the 'A' into the apple ans cite it out and assembled the layers. I added some brown glitter just for a little something extra. The paper clip paper is from a school days stack that came from Micheal's (i think). I also need a cute box to put everything in, I used a tutorial from splitcoaststampers for the A2 box. I cut another apple at 4.25" and used a sentiment from Pink by Design. Simple yet personal project that took very little time. TFL!

 

Teacher you're tree-rific!

So for today's teacher gift it was bring in your teacher's favorite fruit. My son's teacher likes Tangerines. I thought it would be super cute to stick a bunch of them into a vase cut out a huge tree since they grow on trees and make it look like the tangerines had fallen from the tree. I used Pink by Design stamps for the sentiments. The tree was cut at 9.5" from Country Life and then I stuck the tree on a skewer so that it would stay in the vase. I finished it off with some ribbon I had in my ribbon bag. TFL
