Thinking of You & PhD

Its a Terrific Tuesday for me!  I have 2 things to share with you today.  First is a cute tent fold dress card that I made from the awesome Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge from CTMH.  The dress is made from a 3 1/2 in. scalloped circle!  I used the yummy Wonderland paper to create this card along with the For Every Occasion stamp set and Chocolate ink.  I also adorned the dress with the Rhinestone Designer brads and some Prisma Glitter.  It is super easy to make.  I think I will be making a few more with various sentiments just to have on hand.  Hope you enjoy!

I also have more news to share with you!!  Guess what I received in the mail today???  My training academy certificate and pin!!  I am so excited that I have finally finished all of my classes however the training still continues.  

Paper Dolls

Hello fellow crafters! Here is a card I put together today using one of my new stamps from My Favorite Things. The stamp set is Pure Innocence Paper Dolls.  I honestly don't know where the papers came from because I am trying to use up some of my scraps!  I colored her with Copics and used some white gross grain ribbon, dew drops and a button for embellishments.  The scalloped border dies are from Taylored Expressions.  I cut the giant border 3 times and just off set them to create a layered look.  

 For the inside of the card I stamped the image again and one of the sentiments.  I also used the Paper Dolls Border Die-Namics from MFT to finish it off.  Hope you enjoy!

Thank You

It is a beautiful God's morning (as my Aunt would say) on this Super Saturday!  Here is a quick Thank You card that I put together for my son's teacher.  She left to go back to her country and he asked me to make her a thank you card.  I used some of my CTMH Sonoma paper and the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge to create this card.  I also used some Prima flowers, ribbon and a few pearl accents to finish it off.  My son wrote her a personal message on the inside.  He was very happy with the card, especially since it only took me about 20 minutes to put together!  Hope you enjoy!  Have a crafty day!

Delight

Happy Monday all!!  Well I finally feel like my "mojo" is returning to me.  After spending the last 2 days organizing all my embellishments I mustered up the energy to put together a quick card.  The paper is DCWV Black Currant Stack which I have had for months and never used.  I can see this will be one of my favorites.  The roses are from CTMH's Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge and the stamp set is Delightful Things.  The perfectly matched ribbon came from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  The funny thing is that I didn't purchase it, it was actually wrapped around the package from an order that I had placed with them and just decided to keep the ribbon because I thought it was cute.  So glad I did.  Hope you enjoy!

I absolutely LOVE these flowers! They are called button carnations. I watched a tutorial on them on YouTube by Connie MacFarlane and they are super easy and give such an elegant touch to anything! I plan to use them often! Enjoy!

Happy Father's Day

I hope everyone is doing well. It's been a while since I've posted anything but it just seemed like I kept getting bad news. I just lost my uncle a little over a month ago and then my grandfather 2 weeks ago. Needless to say I haven't been inspired very much. I am trying to get back to work. Here is a quick Father's Day card that was inspired by one of my fellow CTMH consultants. I used our retired Sasaparilla Paper that I TOTALLY forgot I even had. Hope you like and I will be posting more very soon! Have a blessed day!

Thank You Tuesday

Here are a few cards that I made for our Thank You Sistah/Brotha RAK Swap over at SOC. I chose to do the same design since I was making several but I did them in different colors. Again I used the Cricut Lite Cartridge Lacy Labels, Forever Young Cartridge and the Thank You Sentiment is from CTMH's Say it in Style stamp set. The various paper for the dress is from my scrap bin and the flower accents are my absolute FAVORITE Prima Flowers. They are the best! Hope you enjoy this thankful Tuesday!

Lots of Love and Scraps,

Nicole

More Monday Madness

Here are a couple more cards I did today. I used the Cricut Lite Lacy Labels Cartridge to cover the card base. I love Lacy Labels. It's such a great cartridge with lots of versatility! More to come on tomorrow!

Lots of Love and Scraps,
