Personalized Cake Carrier

I made this Cake Carrier as a Wedding Gift for a Client, I used vinyl and MTC to create it. The font for the monogram is Curlz and there are three sizes of circles. This is completely hand washable and the polka dots and Monogram will not come off. The ribbon is hand tied and I used a Velcro dot to attach it to the handle so it can be taken off when you wash the cake carrier. The new Bride is going to have a "Rachael Ray" Kitchen, I think this is a good match!

Lettering Delights DEAL!!!!

Lettering Delights has created a whole new line of multi format (can be use in all the different cutters with the different softwares) simple shapes cut files!!  Cut It Simple Shapes is the name and they have 50 new sets, they are $4 each but right now you can get ALL 50 for $49!!
 

If you have a coupon (like from yesterday's freebie) you can get 25% off ( I wish I had known this when I bought my set, I didn't realize that you could use a coupon on sale items, I am glad I know this now!!!) These are so super cool! I am loving them!

Red, White and Blue Blog Hop Day 2

HI Everyone, Today is day two of the Red, White and Blue Blog Hop and I created a banner to decorate my living room for the 4th! I just love the way it turned out. You should have arrived here from Linda's Blog. If you just came to visit me (I am very glad you are here!) but you might want to go to Nicolette's Blog and start the hop at the beginning so you don't miss a single fantastic project!

I used Make-The-Cut to create this banner, the stars are from SVGcuts.com's "Made in the USA" svg set,

the pendants are from MTC's basic shapes library and I resized them to suit me. The rosettes are strips of 12x12 paper cut into 2" strips and scored with the Martha Stewart Score Board every 1/2 inch (at every black mark, I think that is a 1/2") then two strips were glued together (a hint is that using a glue gun makes assembling the rosettes go much faster) the center scalloped piece on the rosettes was created with a Stampin Up scalloped circle punch

and the letters are the Storybook Font cut at 3 and 3/4 inches (I downloaded the Storybook font for free) I inked the edges of the pendants, rosette centers and the stars. I used a blue pen to do some doodling on the letters for some added definition.

I love my bright and festive 4th of July banner!! (I think I already said this! LOL) Don't forget to follow if you don't already and leave a comment to be in the running for the mini album kit!! Your next stop is Sandra's fabulous blog! have a fabulous Day!!

Red, White and Blue Blog Hop and Joy's Life Design Team Thursday

Hi Everyone!
If you have arrived here from Linda's blog then you are in the right place! If you are just visiting me and want to see all of the fabulous patriotic projects then please go to Nicolette's Blog and start at the beginning.

 

For Day one of the Red, White and Blue Blog Hop and Joy's Life Design Team Thursday I created this Happy Birthday card for the USA!  I love the 4th of July! We usually go out all day in the boat and really enjoy living on the Outer banks of North Carolina, we swim, clam, picnic and then we watch the fireworks before we head back to the docks! I used the "Independence Day" Cricut cartridge for the 4 cuts that comprise the card, I created the window mat for the card in Make-the-Cut software, I used my white gel pen and a red Copic marker to add some detail and the sentiment is from Joy's Life Father & Son Stamp Set for the Happy Birthday.

I have a very cool Mini Album kit for blog candy to one Follower who leaves me a comment and your next stop is Sandra's Blog.

Happy 4th of July!!

Butterfly card

 

I just love this card! I created this card using Lettering Delights "Oh Hello Flutter" and "Butterflies and Blossoms" svg sets.  (The Lettering Delights "Butterflies and Blossoms" svg set is only available when making a purchase, it is also on sale!! As is the "Oh Hello Flutter".) I used svgcuts.com's "Nested Shapes" svg collection to create the card base. The papers I used are Colorbox Brights and the Wonderful, Fabulous, I Love Her to Death, Yolie sent them to me, she bought them at the Colorbox Warehouse sale!! Thanks so much again, Yolie! I am loving my paper!!!!! :-)

Joy's Life Design Team 2-fer

This week Joy asked us to create Father's Day cards. At my house, we have been dealing with some Medical issues with my Hubby so crafting time has been hard to come by. When I got into the craft room I created two cards for Father's Day, one from me and one From our 2 year old.

This is the card I created for Jeremy to give to Da (that is what he calls Daddy, most of the time) I used Joy's Life "Father & Son" Stamp set for the sentiment and the piecing is from Scrappy Dew's "Gone Fishing" svg set. I used Peachy Keen faces and inked the edges and added a little wave action with a black gel pen and some accents on the people with a white gel pen. I used my Cuttlebug and a Tim Holtz embossing folder on the canoe.

 

I also wanted to give my Hubby a card for Father's Day, We have been married for 25 years this year and I really appreciate him and our family.  I used Joy's Life "Father & Son" stamp set and SVGcuts.com's "Stick Figure Families SVG Collection" I wrote a mushy note inside of the card thanking him for our family! ;-)

I hope you all have a fabulous Father's Day with your Favorite Dad! See you soon.

Joy's Life Design Team Thursday Summer Time

Today's theme for my Joy's Life Design Team card is Summer Time, I needed a few Birthday cards for some upcoming Birthdays so I decided to make this super cute crab with ice cream card. The sentiment is from Joy's Life "Yummy Puns" Stamp Set, I love this set!

I used several Lettering Delights files and MTC software to create this card. The Sand Castle is from the Lettering Delights "Soak Up the Sun" svg set, I used the mat piece (most background image), duplicated it, mirrow imaged one of the images, butted them together, added a rectangle from the shapes menu to fill in a small space and then welded it all together to create the card base. The crab is from the Lettering Delights "Something Fishy" svg set and the ice creams are from the Lettering Delights "Banner Day" which was a free set I received for having a Free Account at Lettering Delights. I used glitter paper on the ice cream so it looks good enough to eat! I also used my Cuttlebug and a couple of different embossing folders to add some dimension to the sandcastle. I hope you enjoy my card!!

Paper Dolls Summer Theme

I used Joy's Life "Barnyard Puns" stamp set for the sentiment and the first thing I thought of was a Monkey's tail when I read this sentiment! I used the swimming Monkey from Little Scraps of Heaven's "Fun in the Sun Monkeys" cut set and the shark is from Scrappy Dew's "Sea palz Package". The background paper is from DCWV Summer Dreams Paper stack. I also chalked my pieces before I assembled them together and I attached the monkey using an Action Wobble, These are super cool!! When you make the monkey wobble, he looks like he is swimming!

Joy's Life Thursday and Day 2 of Nicolette's Birthday Bash Blog Hop

The first card is my Joy's Life Design Team Thursday card. I used Joy's Life "Barnyard Puns" stamp set for the sentiment and the first thing I thought of was a Monkey's tail when I read this sentiment! I used the swimming Monkey from Little Scraps of Heaven's "Fun in the Sun Monkeys" cut set and the shark is from Scrappy Dew's "Sea palz Package". The background paper is from DCWV Summer Dreams Paper stack. I also chalked my pieces before I assembled them together and I attached the monkey using an Action Wobble, These are super cool!!

My second card is a birthday card, in honor of Nicolette, Miss Nicolette loves Disney so I used The Best of Pixar Cricut Cartridge to create this super cute card. The sentiment is from Joy's Life "Yummy Puns" Stamp Set and the cupcake paper is from Echo park. I added the cupcake and some Stickles, along with some inking and twine I had a cute card! Your next stop is Krista at Krista's Paper Cafe! happy Hopping!!

Nicolette's Birthday Bash Blog Hop

Happy Birthday Nicolette!!

and Welcome to Day 1 of Nicolette's Birthday Bash Blog Hop, if you have come from Cheryl at Cards by CG then you are in the right place. If not, please consider going to Nicolette's blog and start at the beginning so you do not miss a single fabulous project! This hop is in honor of Nicolette's Birthday!!!

My project for Day 1 is the Cake Taker for the Birthday Cake!! I used a $5.99 cake taker from Target and used vinyl, MTC and SCAL to create this Fancy Cake Taker!  I used the Font Gando BT to create the Cake word art and layered it with all three colors.

The dots are three sizes, 1.25 inches, 1 inch and 3/4 inches and I cut 4 large, 6 medium and 6 small circles in each of the three colors. I placed them randomly and the cake slices on either side of the Cake word art are from Lettering Delights Oishii svg set.

On the Top, I added the ribbon bow, I bought the ribbon at Wal-mart and hand tied it. I attached it to the Cake Taker with a Velcro dot so that it is removable.

The Cake Taker is completely Hand Washable and once I fill it with a delicious Cake the Birthday Celebration can begin!!
Be sure to come back tomorrow for my 2nd project and also my Joy's Life Design Team weekly project, I actually will have two projects since my Joy's Life project isn't a Birthday project!
