Sticker Challenge

Finished the Easter Layout! Perfect timing too. Practical scrappers is having a sticker challenge and I used some cute dimensional/layered Easter stickers that I found on clearence at Walmart. The Easter and flowers at the bottom are cut from the Paper Pups Cricut cart, the grass is from Zooballo, and the polka dot paper is DCWV. The little card in the center opens up and is a journaling spot where I wrote about their Egg hunt and the gifts the Easter Bunny left for them.

Finished Layouts.

I finally printed pictures and put them on my layouts. I wanted to share the final results.

Graduation

Graduation season is coming soon! Now is the time I start making cards for graduations. This is perfect timing too since Paper Cutz is having a Graduation Card Challenge. :-) One card is more neutral colored (for a male) and the second card is bright, (for a girl).

 

I can't remember the brands of the paper or stickers off hand. These are all materials that I have had in my stock for awhile and just pulled them out.

Ladybug Shape Card

This is my first attempt at making a shape card. I am suprised at how well it turned out! It is actully three layered. The red wings make up layer one, the black body is layer two and the white back of the card makes up the third layer. Goggle eyes and some twisted wire for antenna add a cute touch to the ladybug. :-)  Cut using the Doodlecharms Cartridge and entered in the Cute Cardz "make your own" Challenge and the Alphabet Challenge Blog "A is for Animals" challenge.

Thank you Cards

I was running low on Thank You cards (I always try to keep a few on hand). So I grabbed ready made blank cards that I got on clearence at JoAnn's and pulled out some cute metal thank you embellishments. I chose a seafoam green cardstock to compliment the peach color added some polka dotted ribbon to make a nice transition line between the colors and layered flowers with foam to add some dimension and finished off with a brown button center to match the ribbon.

Thanks a Bunch Card

Thanks a Bunch! I used DCWV heavy cardstock to create this card. The stamp is a Michaels Dollar Bin snag! (So cute!) A few eyelets and some flowers with sparkly centers and we have a cute little thank you card for someone.

Entered in the Cute Card Thursday Challenge (Challenge: Make your own)
