Valentine's Cards

This little 3d frog image was printed off , cut out and layered onto a nestibilities heart the paper was folded in half then cut with the die just off at the top so you have a folded card

This one same thing but I used a square card base and cut out a square nesibalities and used it as a frame, I think they turned out really cute.

This card is another 3d image cut out and layered on to card base embossed with the cuttlebug, layered with red nestabilities die and a paper lace doily

This card I cut the heart with the holes and the love on my Craftrobo with a free file , the small white hearts are the small heart nestabilites die and I put them thru  the Cuttlebug swiss dots embossing folder, on the insde so the what holes would show up I put a heart shape and lined with a white piece edges punched with the Fiskars heart border punch. Sorry I should have taken a picture of the inside too.

This card is a different size made to fit in a business envelope, used a mixture of hearts on this one,Stampin Up and Nestabilities, embossed with Cuttlebug folder allergro, border punch from Stampin Up

Hope you have enjoyed my mixture of Valentine cards.

I will be back later with some other cards I have been working on.

Thanks for stoppping by

Brooch Flowers with Fran

To-day Fran and I made flower brooches with the sizzix big shot flower die and upholstery and drapery fabrics, I think they turned out pretty cute   what do you think?  These are our samples, we have other fabric to work with too

This last picure the color is not right on it, I tried to adjust it but it didn't work very well

Look for more flowers and valentine cards from us in the next few days

Birthday Cards I Made To-day

Well it was a case of I have to get these two cards finished to-day, so here they are. First is my Mom's birthday card, it is a side step card done a little differently, the picture is 3d layers.

Not a very good picture, card looks crooked but its not really just the picture.

Second is one a 3d card I did for Bryan's sister Glenda, she always looks for something unusual from me in a card,so here it is.

I will have another post in a bit here of my faux leather and a couple other things from my Bday and Christmas.  See you later  Cara

Fran's B'day Card, Calender, CD Holder all in one

Here is a couple pictures of the Card, Calender, Cd Holder I made for my friend Fran her b'day is on Friday...Happy Birthday Fran!

The picture is 3-d layered, the little calendar has tear off pages, I found it on the net, sorry forgot where I got it from, I just printed it out.

because the cd cover was a larger size I custom made the folder to fit it. 

The poem is also one I found on the net.

On the cd I put techniques and tutorials for using the Score Pal  go check out the Score Pal at  http://www.scor-pal.com/

I use my score pal all the time,  Fran has one but she never digs it out, I am hoping she will start using it more and find out how handy it really is and learn to love it like I do mine.  Useful for not only making the fold for cards, but for making little boxes, bags and for any thing that needs a score line.

It is one of the most useful items I own, I use it as much as I do my Cuttlebug. 

Speaking of the Cuttlebug, to-day I embossed paper with the mosiac embossing folder and made Faux leather, got the idea when I saw the tutorial on SplitCoast Stampers

http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/

I thought why do I need to make a wallet why can't I just use it on  a card...so that is what I am going to be trying with it, I will put the pictures up when I get em done.

Bye for now

Pink Mini Book Surprise Package

A couple months ago there was a Pink mini book fundraiser for the Passionately Pink for a Cure( http://www.info-komen.org/goto/pink-minis) on Laura's Blog The Paper Trail http://followingthepapertrail.blogspot.com/ , she does awesome work, go check her blog out!
There were several ladies that had donated the mini albums for this fundraiser, I bid on a few of them and I won the bid on the pink mini book made by Gloria, I received the cute mini book the other day along with a whole bunch of surprise items, enough to make another mini book! Look see!

Look at all my goodies even a Distress Ink pad!  Thanks Gloria!

A New blog Header...Wish I was on a Beach somewhere!!

I just had to change my blog to something warmer...wish I was on a beach somewhere nice and warm...maybe Costa Rica where Carole'Ann is or Hawaii where my friend Louise is, would be nice but I am not there I am here in cold snowy Alberta.

So I did a couple more quick digi pages with  pictures of my daughter. I tried to upload the 2 pictures of my daughter but they would not upload they were too big I think...so here is one of my youngest son Glenn and I taken 1971 or 1972, I guess I should put some sorta writing on it, do you think?

Well back to my soup making

See you next time, soon I hope!
