Wishing You a Hoppy Day

Here is an adorable card that I made using my Imagine and my new Nursery Tails cartridge :). I love this cartridge, it is SO cute. I fell in love with this little Froggy right away and had to cut him first. I cut it in the layers and adhered everything, and I popped the frog up. I loved the print in his body so I pulled the same print out from the patterned paper and then the peach color from that. I actually made 4 of these cards, and it did not take long at all. The sentiment from Scrappy Moms was perfect for this little guy. I am sure I am going to use this frog many times in the future.

Two Owl Imagine Cards

Here is two more cards that I made using my Imagine. I do think this little owl is very cute, so I had to make a couple cards with him. This was also printed in textured paper, and I can tell a little difference, the textured white card stock seems to make for a more vibrant printing. I chose some colors that complimented my owl. The scallop and the circles were from the Imagine too and I printed them in colors to match. The blue paper was Recollections. I kept these cards very simple and just used brown ribbon just in case I need to use one for a man LOL. I think it can go for a man's card if need be.

I haven't yet started using my Gypsy and Imagine together, but I do have the Gypsy updated now with the Imagine Software.

Two Kite Imagine Cards

This was the first card that I made. I scraplifted the idea from my friend Sarah, although her card was a little different than this. I grabbed my sky shape from the ones loaded on the Imagine already. Love that feature. My clouds were with a Fiskars punch. The first card I kept very very simple and I felt like it lacked something...

So when I made the second card I added the other layer behind the sky which drew out more of the color from the Kite and then I used my Swiss Dots embossing folder and then used my blue gelly roll over the dots. I think this version of the card really pops!

I must be totally honest, I am not the hugest fan of the Imagine More cartridge, which is the one that comes with the machine, but I won 5 more cartridges on Ebay that are my favorites out, so I can't wait till they come next week and then I "imagine" my Imagine is going to be working overtime!

Birthday Card - Giraffe

Here is a cute birthday card I made for a kid...I used PTI codes on my Imagine for his colors. Simple and sweet, mostly just playing around really.

Two Birthday Cake Cards

Here are two birthday cards that I made using the adorable cake from Every Day Pop Up Cards. Such a cute cake. I embossed the frosting layer then put the sprinkles where it wasn't embossed. I used yellow stickles on the candles. Then the card came together easy, used some bright pink and teal and a subtle yellow patterned paper from Echo Park. I love the yellow Organdy Shear Ribbon. The cakes are on the Lacey Square from a Nestie.

3x3 Birthday Card

I have recently gotten into making 3x3 cards, mainly because of the cute ones Emma had been making. They are so simple to do and the nice part is you can use up some scraps too! I sold some of these at the Craft Fairs already for 1.00 each. I love love love pink and brown together! So sweet!

You may have noticed that I covered my white foam boards that I used for my photo station with this nice Charcoal colored felt. I love it. I don't get the shadows that I was and it is a nice dark neutral color to make my cards pop. I had the felt left over from making display boards for my cards for Craft Shows.

FIRST Imagine Card

Here is the first card that I made using my NEW IMAGINE. I was so excited to get it. Some of it was paid for with Craft Fair Money and some of it was paid for by myself as my reward for reaching a 50 pound milestone since mid May. I only used the Imagine for the patterned paper on this card, but it was so nice to print a paper just big enough for what I needed and it scales the pattern to size :). Love this paper, can see myself using it many times to come.

Hope you enjoy!

Gift Card Holders for Christmas

Here is a small sampling of the Gift Card Holders I have been making using Emma's die and a variety of stamps and papers. I made a bunch before my Craft Fairs earlier this month and every one of them sold, so I am making more for my final craft fair. these are so fun and easy to make and Emma's Die makes it so easy.
