New York Themed Cards!

A little unknown tidbit about me :)  I was raised in California, but I'm originally from New York. Although I don't recall much about living in N.Y., I still have some family there and affection for the state.  I would also love to visit some day. 

Anyway, a good friend  of my mothers, recently traveled there for a wedding and had asked me to create, a New York skyline, wedding card and here's what I came up with!

   

Oh and just for fun... Let's not forget a somewhat traditional I ♥ New York card!!!   

Happy Monday!

Hugs,

A Great "BIG HUG"....

Here's some fun with Prima flowers.

Hope everyone's enjoying this beautiful day!

"Straight From The Nest " Birdcage Card... Inspired By A Magazine Ad!

Tulips, Scaps and a Serger...

The other night, while playing around on my serger, I came up with this little card.  

I'd  stamped and glazed the tulips a while back for future use.  So, a few scraps, some stamped tulips, a little bit of serging and wala... An easy peasy card.

Hugs!

365 Cards Challenge "2011" ~ Day 107 - Mega Movie Wednesday

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 15, 2011

Day 107 - Mega Movie Wednesday

The lantern base, glass (velum), hardware, flame & shadows were cut using Cricut Country Life cartridge. At the base of the lamps hardware, I used a real piece of chain.

Since the sentiment was so tiny I couldn't cut it, so I printed it instead, but the "Let You Light Shine" portion of the sentiment is also from Cricut Country Life cartridge. The outside sentiment "In the brightest day. In the blackest night" is from the Green Lantern movie poster.

 The sentiment plates were all cut using Cricut Disney Mickey Font cartridge.

The easel card base, background papers and box were hand cut. 

Hope you like it!

Blue Chevy Corvette Vintage Old 50's Car ~ Recycled Coffee Sleeve Handmade Greeting Card

More recycled coffee sleeve fun.... The background image is a recycled coffee sleeve.  As I mentioned in the past, one of my husbands friends, heard that I did paper crafting and he started collecting these discarded (perfectly pristine) coffee sleeves for me, years ago.  He thought they could be reused for something and as it turns out, he was right.  I've used them several times throughout the years on different projects.  They also work well punched into colorful flowers and such. To think these little treasures usually just get tossed :):):)

The pics don't do the leaves justice, but they are colored with Pearl Ex Powder and have a great shimmer to them.  The 4 little birds a coated with Tim Holtz Distressed Stickles which gives them a really cool texture!

Uh Oh... I've been VERY bad and you can too ;)

  

If you haven't already, be sure to check out Joann's, they have an awesome selection of Cricut Cartridges on sale this week for $29.99.

Naturaly I just couldn't resist. I promised myself before we left the house this morning that if we ended up at Joann's (like we wouldn't) that I would limit myself to NO MORE than 4 cartridges.... Ha Ha! Believe it or not my DH is worse than me and pushed me to get the 5Th one (he didn't have to push to hard either). I'm such a sucker!  Hope everyone had a VERY Happy Mothers Day :):):)  Cheers, Lisa



Cute Little Dress Card....

 

           

This card was inspired by another Cricut owner, from the Cricut Forum Website, who designed the cut using Cricut's Design Studio.  It was quite some time ago, that I downloaded the cut file and since Cricut made many changes (a whole new forum) I couldn't find the talented creator who made and shared the file.  If you happen to know the maker or if you're the maker... Thank you very much for sharing and I hope you love what I've done with your design :):):)   

Bountiful Season.... My First Easel Card :):):)
