Father's Day

Soooo... not sure what happened to the post I published over the weekend.  I guess I'll jut have to re-type it "/

Happy Belated Fathers Day!!

Better late than never I suppose... But I finally bring you some of the Father's day cards from this year.

I had specific themes for this order of Father's Day cards.  The customer's father is in India, so she wanted something to match the culture.  So lots of vibrant colors and the shinies as I like to call them. 

This was another specific theme request.  The theme was San Francisco, so at first I tried to make something that looked like a trolley, but that definitely did not work.  So a couple weeks after I got this request, my new cartridges came in, so I was super stoked to use my Destinations cart. 

My cricut, however, was not so thrilled.  I think it was throwing a temper tantrum because it was shredding and tearing all the paper I tried to cut for the Golden Gate Bridge.  So I had to get a little creative and make my own "golden" gate bridge.  Took some yellow Bazzill Basics paper and distressed it with Tea Dye and Wild Honey distressing ink. Also did a bit of distressing around the backgroud of the card to get it all to mesh together.

Not too shabby if I do say so my self :]

Well crafters, I'm off to bed, but I just wanted to re-post what didn't want to post over the weekend.  I hope everyone has an enjoyable Hump Day tomorrow!

Until next time happy crafters...



Hello Harper

Here's a card I did to welcome little Harper.  Since it was a mystery if Harper was going to be a boy or a girl, Mom and Dad did the nursery two different types of blue and all kinds of jungle animals.  After I left the hospital the day Harper was born, I went right to work on her card. 

Since her room was a jungle theme, I just knew I had to go with the Create a Critter cricut cart.  I thought a pink giraffe would be adorable, and I added a little pink bow over the ears to top it off.  JoAnn's was having a sale on the open stock paper, and I thought this pink butterfly background would be super cute for a little girl.  The flowers are outlined in glitter.

I was so excited to give the card to the new Mom and Dad, that I wrote in the card before I took any pictures!!!  I still wanted to bring you the inside, since I think it is super cute, so pardon the message already written on the inside.

If you've been following me for a while, you'll recognize the heart paper from when I went to the scrapbook convention.  I just LOVE this pink and white heart paper.  I also used the Cricut Design Studio to spell out Harper's name and weld it all together.  The "r"s were a little tricky to make them look like different letters, so by alternating the height placement of the letters, you can tell what it says. 

The new family is doing great.  And I can't wait to keep you guys updated with all the fun stuff that is going on with all the little lovies in my life!! 

Hope you have a good weekend crafters!!
