Mickey 4th of July Joy Fold

Good Morning All...Thanks for stopping by! Here is a card I sent to our good friends Kathi and Bob...the Disney enthusiasts. It's a joy fold card that didn't photograph well at all. The paper I used has bits of mica in it that really shows up in the photo making it look grainy, but in real life has a very fine glittery look and the blue layer is a shimmer paper that looks very washed out...not the real color at all. I don't know why sometimes the paper photographs well and sometimes it doesn't...this time it didn't--- Here is the recipe---
Card Size: Joy Fold-4.25 x 4.25
Clip Art

That's it for today. Thanks for stopping by. I'll see you next time enjoy your day!

Changito's Happy 4th of July

Good Morning All...Thanks for stopping by. Here's a 4th of July card I did for my 3 year old grandson. I used the Star Shaped Template from The Cutting Cafe and 4th of July Printable Stamp Set 1 also from The Cutting Cafe for the sentiments. The image is the ever lovable Changito from Stampendous. I don't recall the name of the set but it's the same set I used for St. Patrick's Day but I masked the clover so he could hold the flag. No matter how hard I try to look beyond the clover to see the flag, I still see the clover. When I was putting the image on the circle, I sort of bent the image so rather than doing it over, I added the craft yarn bow to hide it. My grandson is a little monkey himself so I'm sure he'll love it---
Here is the recipe---
Card Size: Approx 5.75 x 5.75
Prisma Markers
Card Template: Cutting Cafe-Star Shaped Card
Stamp/Image: Stampendous
Sentiments: Cutting Cafe-4th of July-Set 1
Nestibilities: Circle/Scallop
Cuttlebug: 2x2 Snowflake #2 Die (for stars on scallop circle and star on hat)
Accessories: Glitter, Flat Back Pearls, Craft Yarn, Gem Star Button, Toothpick, Foam Pop Dots
Base Cardstock: Bazzill
Patterned Paper: DCWV Shimmer Stack, Gina K Digital Paper Pack-Stars and Stripes

That's it for today, I hope to see you again tomorrow til then, enjoy your day!

The 3 Bear's 4th of July

Good Morning Everyone! Thanks for stopping by! Here are a few 4th of July cards I did for my 3 granddaughters in Tennessee. I never thought I'd say it but I don't think I want to see Boo for a while. Last year when Donna had done Leah's Baby Shower invitations she remarked (her words) "Bo is exhausted from overuse and plans to retire for awhile." "Trust me, no matter how much you like a design, 26 is a lot of one thing to make." I couldn't understand it at the time but after making 5 cards using Boo in the last 2 weeks, I fully understand what she meant...I cannot imagine making 26! So he will go into hibernation for a while---

Here is the recipe---

Card Size: A2

Image: Go Kreate-Boo The Bear, Boo On His Bums, Boo For You, Summertime Boo

Nestibilities: Circle/Scallop, Petite Oval/Scallop

Cuttlebug: 2x2 Snowflake #2 Die (for stars on hat)

Sentiment: Cutting Cafe-4th of July Printable Stamps Sets 1 and 2

Accessories: Ribbon, Glitter, Gem Star Buttons, Toothpick, Foam Pop Dots

Base Cardstock: Metallic Cryogen White 89lb

Patterned Paper: Gina K Digital Paper Pack-Stars and Stripes, Cutting Cafe-4th of July Background

Happy 4th of July-Land Of The Free

Good Morning and Happy Friday Everyone! I hope you've had a good week. This week has really flow by for me, I hope the weekend doesn't go by as fast! Here is a quick 4th of July card I made for my good friend Gigi. Those of you that are not new to my blog may recall the 4th of July Boo On His Bums I made for my grandson last year...this one is very similar with a few changes. Since Gigi hasn't seen it, I thought it would be OK to make this one for her. I just love Boo and cannot have a holiday without him. I used The Cutting Cafe's 4th of July Background along with the 4th of July Printable sets 1 and 2 for the sentiments---

Mickey 4th of July

Good Morning Bloggers...I hope everyone had a nice weekend.
I said last week that I had posted all my 4th of July cards but this one was purposely left out. It is for good friends of ours that visit my blog often and without even saying, they would have know it was for them. I didn't want them see see it on my blog before they had a chance to receive it. They are THE biggest Mickey fanatics that I know! Kathi and Bob...this one is for YOU!
I got the image on line---
http://picasaweb.google.dk/Silviamamota/Mickey#
and colored Mickey's face with Prisma pencils and OMS and the remainder of the image with Sharpie markers, then layered it on circle/scallop Nestibilities. The stars around the scallops were cut from the smallest star from the Cuttlebug snowflake die. The corners on the background layer were cut with Stampin Up ticket punch and stars added to the corners. The words were computer generated then cut with Nestibility deckled edge die. The Mickey heads to either side were cut with Cuttlebug Celebration Combo set and then a bow was added.
Thanks for stopping by, if you haven't already, please sign my guestbook or leave a comment. You just have no idea how much your comments mean to me. Have a great day and I hope to see you tomorrow!

God Bless America

Good Morning All! This will be the last of my 4th of July cards, I will finish the inside sentiments and get them ready for mailing so they can be mailed by the weekend. Today's card was made with a Digital Delight stamp. I just love Ridley Raccoon and he's all dressed with his top hat and coat, he is ready for the 4th of July. He can be purchased at---
http://digitaldelightsbyloubyloo.wordpress.com/
along with all of his other friends. Stop by to see the other digital stamps Wendy has to offer.
I colored his face and body with Prisma pencils and OMS, The stripes on his face and tail along with his top hat, vest and pants were colored with Sharpie markers then layered on a rectangle/scallop Nestibility. The God Bless America is also a Digital Delight image that was cut and layered on a square/scallop Nestibility. I use a white gel pen to frame both with doodle dots. The cut and glittered stars are from the Spellbinder Reflection Angel set and added ribbon and bow. Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoy the rest of your visit.

4th Of July-Boo On His Bum

I'm Back...I was working on this card this morning when Eunice from Pearl City, Hawaii left me a comment saying how much she loved Boo. I told her that I was working on a 4th of July Boo and be sure to check back. There was one distraction after another this morning and I wasn't able to finish him until now. Well...here he is...don't ya just love him? I layered Boo on his Bum from Go Kreate on a circle/scallop Nestibility that I used the 4th of July word background from the Cutting Cafe. The hat is also a Cutting Cafe printable stamp. I added 3 stars to the hat that were cut from the Cuttlebug snowflake die and added glitter. I cut a piece of striped designer paper into a very small rectangle then added a very small square of star designer paper to make the flag then glued it to a flat toothpick that I colored with gold ink and added a flat gold gem to the top. The words Happy 4th of July was computer generated and cut with a tag Nestibility then added 2 more stars that were cut from the Cuttlebug snowflake die and a bow. That's it for today, thanks for stopping by.

Happy 4th Of July

Good Morning! Here are a couple of cards I made this morning using The Cutting Cafe Digital Stamps. I printed the calendar then layered in on circle/scallop Nestibilities. I used the smallest star on the Cuttlebug Snowflake die around the edge. You can't tell from the picture but the stars stand off the scallop. I glued 2 pieces of card stock together before I ran it through the Cuttlebug. Added a few Spellbinder stars that I ran through my Zyron then glittered, added a rain dot and ribbon and bow. The back ground paper for the 1st one is also from the Cutting Cafe. You should check it out, the designs are awesome and Regina is SO talented, she really makes it easy to put a card together fast---
