Black Tie Sign Couple!

Hi, Happy Sunday!  I hope you all enjoyed your weekend.  I've graduated from reorganizing my craft space/supplies, to reorganizing the entire house, garage and potting shed.  My husband's reluctantly on board, but I'm sure he wishes I still had my day job :):):) I've ordered a small dumpster so we could purge, all the years of unnecessary collecting.  We've already made 2 donation trips to our local goodwill and I'm sure there will be more!

OK, so here's a simple little card idea I had before falling asleep one night and since I actually remembered it in the morning, I decided to bring it to life! 

The couple, their black bow ties and heart are all covered in super fine glitter. Sure wish I would've captured that a bit better, it really makes it look adorable. Everything was cut via CCR, with my Cricut Expression. The entire couple is popped up for a 3D effect.

Hope you like it!

I "Mustache" You To Be....

MY VALENTINE!!!

Late as always.  Would you believe that in real life, I'm one of the most punctual people ever.  I'm actually kind of anal about being on time, but when it come to keeping up my blog, I am never on time. That's what happens when one just has too much on their plate. 

Well, I'm happy to announce that, I'll be retired in a couple weeks.... So I'll be able to free my artistic soul and have more time to blog about it :):):)

OK! On with my tardy share...
Here's what I used for this creation:  Splitcoaststampers Pop-up Box Card Tutorial, my Silhouette Cameo, the Silhouette I Mustache You To Be My Valentine (shape set) and the Silhouette Nested Hearts (shape set).  Oh, I almost forgot an embossing folder, glitter, swirly rubber stamps and thin strips of recycled, clear acetate. 

It was loads of fun to make and I'm so happy with the way it turned out.

Hope you like it and find some inspiration from it as well :):):)

Hugs,

Mustache Tree Card... Merry Christmas!

So, here's my husbands Christmas card... It suites him quite well, since he's never without his real mustache :):):)

I used Mustaches & Glasses for the tree and its trunk & Art Philosophy for the star.

Fun with Glitter & Cricut Holiday Cards 8 & 14

These were a couple of free cuts offered in CCR last week. Initially, I wasn't sure if what to do with them, but then I decided to spray adhesive on the side of the liner that was to be exposed on the front of each card and then poured glitter to fill each design (white glitter for the reindeer & silver glitter for the Happy Holidays), then a bit of sewing, some ribbons, stars and vuala.... Hope you like them.
