Cards From February MW Express

Hi everyone! I have been playing today with my Feb. 2010 MW Express Kit. Mamma Mia. I made five cards related to love. The pics do not do them justice. This card was made with the CS in the kit and the Sentiments were also part of the kit the Flowers are Petaloo from MW. The bling in the flowers are zva crystals also from MW. It is hard to tell but, I embossed the card base using my cuttlebug and hearts folder. I also use zva dots to pop the sentiment.
Oh you can see that I did emboss it on this pic. The brownish flower has sparkles on it makes it so shinny. I really like the pink! Don't know why. I don't usually like pink. Hmmm I wonder if it is my age? Well we won't go there. lol.


Oh and I should mention that the pearls are not from MW. They are from my stash. I have more to post a little later. I have something else pressing me at this moment, so I will try to come back later to post the rest.

This is a new card I created last week for my husband's boss. We were invited to an end of summer party at their beautiful home. I wanted to bring a hostess gift and this is what I gave them. The party was great and there was lots of yummy food to eat.

This is a card but I thought it would be a perfect place for a couple of photos too. They said they loved it too!

Here are a few cards I have made recently. I just love the 3d punchouts!

The first two were made using the suede paper. I just love that paper! Got to have more! I really like making these kinds of cards.

Card for Heros

Here I used a peircing tool to make the design on the velum piece. Makes it look so lacey. Thanks Kathy of CTMH, (and my Sis) for that new technique. Well its not new but, to me maybe.

This card I made for a card challenge on the Cricut Message Board. Hmmm, I don't remember posting that on the board. Boy, this last month has been a very busy one. I'm surprised I even got a card done. Any way I used papers from MW Dreamy 2 promotion. Love that Cardstock. I cut out the sunflower using the Walk in My Garden cricut cartrige.

This is another card I made for the same challenge on the Cricut Message Board. Hmmm, don't remember posting this one either. Oh well, I used all MW paper from the Dreamy 2 promotional kit. and the flowers are from Petalo and Dazzles. I cut out the "Thinking of You". with the Walk In My Garden cricut cartrige.

Ok I am back. I had to go do some errands. So now I am going to post some pics of the cards I have been working on this past month. There are quite a few so here goes.

Here are a few cards I made for our troops overseas. I also had made some at a crop for heros about a month ago, but I didn't get pics for them. Instead I left them to be mailed out with a whole lot more. I am going to another Crop for Heros at the Scrap and Yack Shack. I am so excited I can hardly wait. This place is a brand new place. We are hoping the store will be opened. If not, then that will be ok too. That will just give me another excuse to check it out when she has her openhouse. Congrats to you Patsy! Can't wait to see your shop all set up.

woo hoooo!

Ok coming back to earth.

I am back! Sorry I was gone so long. (Holding head down in shame.) I have created a few cards since my last post. And I am so sorry I hadn't gotten them posted till now. My excuse is that when I get time on the computer I have so many things to check out that I never get throught them all. So today I made time for this.

This card I made for my Dad for Father's Day. The 3D image I downloaded from Monica's 3d Sheets at http://www.3dsheets.com. She has some really cool images. Thanks Monica.

I have other cards that I have been working on. some for the troops Cards for Heros and other personal cards as well. I will be posting them as well sometime today. Thanks for looking.

My Stationary Box

I have had this project done for a few weeks now and I am just now posting it. I am sooooo sorry it took me so long to take the picture. I really have no excuse either. Anyway this is the Stationary box when it is closed. It is very pretty with its glitter.

Now this is the way it looks when it is opened. A place for everything and everything in it's place. hmmm I wish my apartment was like that. lol This is a Thank You set. Regualr A2 cards, 3x3 cards, and tags of different styles and sizes. It has an address book and a place to store stamps and a pen. This would make a great gift!

Here you can see all the pieces (except the envelopes) I will put them in too. I forgot them for the pic. Anyway you can see the embossing if you click on the pic to enlarge it. I love the colors! Most of the paper is cardstock from Prism collection I purchased at MW. The sparkly cardstock is from a stack I purchased at A.C. Moore. The ribbon I also got at A.C. Moore. Love that store! Thank you for looking.

Have a scrap happy day!

Think Spring!

Wow! It has been a long time since I have posted on my blog. I made a card today to celebrate the arrival of spring. I also made this card for a challenge on the MemoryWorks Message Board.

I had to use 80% to 90% of MW products, which I believe I have accomplished. I have been trying to resize the photo to fit is onto the Idea Galary.

Update: I was able to resize it and it is posted in the Idea Galary on MemoryWorks Message board. Ok I am off of tonight.

God bless ya and thanks for looking.

Another Card With Bling and More

This card is one I also made at Belinda's I love this kind of card. it is easy to make and can be used for a photo also. Can't you just see your granddaughter(s) posed in their Easter Sunday clothes? I can see mine there. I would love receiving it in the mail after Easter.

These cute little cards are so easy and cute! One is for a girl and the other a boy. It's my guess that you probably knew that. lol I am going to give them to my grandchildren. Oh, and I made these at Belinda's also.

Here is the card I had not finished before. It is prettier than the picture offers. I love making these cards, but there sure is a lot of glitter everywhere when working on these. Thanks for looking. Have a scrappy day!

Cards With A Bling

Ok twice in one day! This has to be a record for me. LOL I have here some beautiful cards that I made at my friend Belinda's. We had a great time working on these yesterday. I noticed she posted her's too. You can find them at craftlady on my list of favorite blogs. The pink one with the roses is my favorite. BTW, these cards can be purchased (unfinished of course) at your local Walmart. They are MS . They come with the cards, envelops, and glitter. The background images were done with our collection of stamps from CTMH. Thanks Kat! You can find her creations on my link to Katsscrapbooking The kit comes with enough material to do 8 cards. As you probably figured out I still have some in progress. I have one nearly finished, which I will post later. And I may use one to embelish an explosion box, like my friend Belinda did. It is absolutely stunning! Thanks for looking.

little card

I am sorry but this is all that I had in my camera of the card I made for the baby shower we had on Sat. My son had my camera and it could be that he accidentally erased my pic of the front of the card. Alas, I no longer have the card. And it was a cute one too. I embossed the little elephant from cuttlebug and trimmed it to fit on the front and colored it and added some stickles to the eyes and flower that it was holding with its trunk. I wrote the saying myself as well. Feel free to use it if you wish. Well gotta go take more pics and put them in my puter before my son gets the camera again lol.

My Friend Showed Me How to Make These Cards

I made these cards at my friends on Monday. We spent the whole day just making cards and chatting together. It is so much fun we are going to try to make it a weekly thing. And I am so surprised how many cards I actually get done. When I am there, I am not on here checking out blogs, working on my website. reading my e-mail or working on an online class. Thank you Belinda for having me over to do these.

This card Is truly beautiful. I am sorry the picture does not do it justice. It is a lavender color printed paper. A 12"x12" pieced of paper folder in certain ways The idea came from someone online, I am sorry I have no idea who, but thank you

This is the inside of the card. Although it is hard to see, the bee has sparkly wings and it's yellow stripes are covered with liquid glass. I guess I have to learn more about taking better pics.

This is the Spring, or Pop Up Card that we made. It is also lavender and purple colors. The flower stamp is from Close To My Heart. I can't remember the name of the set. And the sentiment is from Belinda's large stash of stamps. I don't know the company that puts it out. The card stock I used is from MemoryWorks. It is called Prismatics Candle Glow Accent Pack and Spring Willow Accent Pack. It is hard to see, but the card stock is embossed on one side and flat on the other side. The printed paper came for the Vibrant Paper Pack, which I purchased from Wal-Mart.

This Shadow Card is quite stunning. As I have said before, the pictures are not doing justice. It is white card stock I purchased from Wal-Mart. Both pieces of Card Stock have been embossed using the dots and winter scene folders and the cuttlebug. It is also very difficult to see the glitter on the winter scene to emphasize the snow on the ground, snow falling and snow on the houses.

I had hoped this picture would show the glitter and embossing better. May enlarging them by clicking on them will help.

This was great fun! I have one more card to show after I finish the inside of it. I will post that later. Thanks for looking. Have a happy scrappy day!

Little Treat Box

Here is the little treat box I made last night. It is really simple. I got it from www.splitcoaststampers.
I thought I might make some up for Valentine's to pass around to people in my church. Kinda like a card with a treat. I do intend to have it done in Valentine's colors and prints too. TFL.

I just made some new cards

Thanks Kat for helping me make these cards. I love the idea of the monogram card. I made these cards as a gift for my nephew on my DH side of the family. I don't know if you can see the embossing on the card and the envelope. I tried to get the pic to show it. I'm not too good at taking pics or adjusting them on my pc. I am also working on some Christams cards for the ladies and guys where my DH works. I will post them soon. Thanks for looking. Merry Christmas and Happy new year to you all.

Pop-up Card

Here is the card I made last night around midnight (hee hee). My dear sister sent me a site on Utube that showed videos on cardmaking. Thanks Kat. Anyway, after I saw that video, I just had to make it. So here it is. Of course I didn't have the exact same papers and stamps, but it works for me. I made it a little smaller than what she had made hers. I used plain white cardstock for the card and blue from my stash of CM cardstock. The stamps I chose for this card are from CTMH With Love and Follow Your Dreams. The wire is from my jewelry stash.

I really had fun with this technique. I am going to use some products from MW (I have very little of that in my inventory. Working on it.) to make another card using this technique. When I have finished I will post that one. Thanks for looking.

Halloween Card

This is the front of the card and the envelope I made myself. Thank you Belinda for your help on the envelope.

This is the inside of my card. I wrote the poem myself.

I am having sooooo much fun today! I have been playing with my new Cricut Expressions. I have made a card for a swap I am in, so actually I made eight of the same card, which is posted here. I used Stretch your Imagination cart., Plantin Schoolbook cart. and Paper Pups.

The main card was created with the Streach your Imagination cart. The words were created using the outher cartriges. It was a lot of work, but worth it. I like the way they came out. I can't wait to see what the others have come up with in my swap group. Well that is it for tonight. I need to get off this computer and make the envelopes. Then they will be ready for mailing. thanks for looking.

cards

This is the card I made the other day between loads of laundry and other house work.

This is what it looks like when you pull it out. You can put a pic on it or a saying of your choice. The saying on the bottom is "memorible moments". The picture does not do it justice. Thanks for looking.
