Little Scrap Pieces DT Post - Emboss it!

Hi Everyone!
Wow, what a week! So glad the weekend is here and yay it's time for Little Scrap Pieces FUN FRIDAY! This weeks challenge is a fun one - It's being sponsored by our very sweet DT sister Lisa.
The challenge is to add some embossing on your project - any type heat or dry. Have fun with it and please pop over and see what the fabulous DT created.

I created an Anniversary pillow/Gift box for my Aunt and Uncle. Their Anniversary was on Valentine's Day so sweet. 

I chose to heat emboss, I love the effect and I think it can add a elegant touch.

The pillow box was cut from the Wrap it up Cartridge and using my Gypsy I hid the image so it would be a solid box.

I tried and TRIED to get a good picture but it was so hard :( 

I used a MCT - Script Type Backgrounds Stamp Set

Clear embossing powder

Ribbon - Little Scrap Pieces

Tag - Teeny Tag Greetings Stamp Set

I heard it's your special day!

Hi Everyone!
Hope you are enjoying your day! We finally have some sun, but not for long the rain is coming tomorrow:( 
I'm sharing a card I made for a "Sea Monster" party. Actually that's what the 3 year old called it but his Mom says its a sea life party. Sounds like a fun party, she rented a touch tank from a local sea life museum and they bring all the creatures in a trailer for the kids to explore. Our Pre-school and Elementary schools do this here in our town but never knew you could rent them for a party. FUN FUN FUN!
I'm also entering my little "Sea Monster" card in a couple challenges:

Peter Cottontail is on his way...

Hi Everyone!
I'm sharing another Easter card I designed in my Gypsy. I found a really cool cut on the wrap it up cartridge. It's the fence cut under the tag feature cut at 3.67 H x 3.61 W. I used it as a frame for my little cottontail. The Bunny is from just because cards cut at 5.61 H. 
The eggs are from doodlecharms cut at 3.22 H. I popped up the fence with two thicknesses of foam tape so the bunny can sit behind the fence. Then I only used one thickness of foam tape for the bunny.

I'm entering this in a few challenges:
Fantabulous Cricut - #105 Egg-ceptional Easter Make a project with an egg on it.
Cardz TV - Make a card for any occasion using a frame from any cartridge and using any colors you’d like.
My Creative Time - Use any cartridge (preferrably an older one) & create ANY project of "YOUR" choice

I loved his fluffy tail coming through the fence:) & Emma's stamps were PERFECT for my little card.

Christmas is love...

Hi Everyone!

Every year our church holds a women's dinner. It's so much fun, we get all dressed up and the men of our church cook, serve and (the best part) clean up. We also do a gift exchange of an ornament.  I created a pillow box for my ornament.  I created the box using the Cricut Cartridge Wrap it up and just hid the image on the box.  I really had to stretch the box so it would fit the very large ornament. Sometimes when creating boxes and bags it gets a little tricky re-sizing, but I'm happy to say that when re-sizing pillow boxes they come out perfect! I cut a cute label from the Cricut Cartridge Storybook and Stamped the sentiments from Stampin Up which I purchased from Nikki. 

I'm entering this in the following challenges
My Craft Spot Monday Challenge - Christmas Treat and Gift Packaging 
Fantabulous Cricut Challenge me Monday - Present Time
Scrappy Moms Stamps - Terrific Tuesday Challenge - Christmas Theme

Hi Everyone!


Here is a card that I created for a few challenges. I have had the Wrap it Up cartridge for quite some time and have never cut this image.  I really like her, she's green but I think she's pretty :)  I hope you can see the lace I used for her skirt.  I also cut off the original broom and attached raffia in it's place. I absolutely LOVE the ribbon that is behind the witch, I found it at Michaels and bought the last three they had. Hope you all have a great day!

Oh Happy Day - Graduation Card

Hi Everyone!

I wanted to make a "Grad" card for my cousin that is Graduating next week from College! As we all know, it's such an achievement. Especially now with the unfortunate circumstances at our CSU schools. But none the less he did and now on to Law school.... Way to go Will. So here is my simple card that I made to pop in the mail today.

Manly Wishes - Wacky Wednesday Challenge

Hi Everyone!

Here is my entry for MORE THAN FAVORS - Wacky Wednesday Manly Challenge. So there is a bit of a story behind this card. I learned this technique so very long ago when my son's class made neck ties for all of their Dads. Although the ties were clown size and filled with leaves and twigs, I used the same technique smaller scale minus the leaves and twigs :)  I used the Wrap it up cartridge for the tie and the wild card cartridge for the pocket. For the collar I used a white piece of cardstock 1.25 x 6.5 and just folded the edges down to form a collar. I machine stitched the pocket and that's it. I left the front blank without a sentiment to keep the feel of a real shirt.

Hope you enjoy! 

Happy Birthday Robot Wishes - Masculine Card

Hi Everyone,

So my second masculine card is for my Godson. (I have 3 more coming) I thought I would make a robot since I've had this adorable robot paper just begging to be used. I used the Wrap it Up cartridge for the Robot and printed the sentiment on my computer. I am going to enter this card in the SCRAPPY MOMS STAMPS CHALLENGE - Use B is for Boy or Sugar and spice cartridge. Sadly, I don't have either but SMS is so nice to let everyone play along by using a similar cut.

Hope you enjoy!
