Club 33 Thanks, Part 1-Mickey and Friends, Lyrical Letters

I had such an incredibly good time making this card! I think the friendship and kindness of the people who sent us on our trip was so fresh in my mind when I made my "thank you" cards that my creativity was on a a high! I used the Mickey and Friends cart for the Mickey. The "33" is from the Mickey font. The "thanks" was from Lyrical Letters. The "you rock" is from the Solutions Stamping cart. The "Disney" is cut from the Mickey font cart. It is the charm feature. I inked it and then dipped it in UTEE several times and dried it with a heat tool. Before I did all that I outlined the letters with glitter pen. Then I added a Mickey head eyelet and some chain and threaded it through the middle of the card. There was lots ink, glitter and tons of Gypsy welding! I had such a great time on both my trip and making my "thanks" cards! TFL!

Tweeting You A Happy Birthday

Happy Saturday Everyone! This card is a Happy Birthday card for my "stash". I love the Gypsy. It allows me to use so many carts at once. And I am using more carts than ever! This is an A2 card. The cardstock base is Bazzill. All the patterned paper is from the DCWV stack called MiCasa. That stack has so many beautiful papers. The bird on the front is from Stamping Solutions (cut at 3"). The shape it is placed on top of is from Gypsy Wanderings (cut at 4" (I think)). Then I layered that shape on top of some of the glittered paper I used for the bird. The "tweeting you" is from Lyrical Letters and is welded together and sized to fit the card. I also used some ribbon and some bling for the eye to add some detail.

On the inside the "happy" is the Hello Kitty font. The "birthday" is from Simply Sweet. The "a" is handwritten. It is easy to make and I like the outcome. TFL.

Hello Ladybug-SCAL and Stamping Solutions

Hello Everyone! Many parts of this are a wonderful design file from Card-I-ology Creations by Tina Mansfield. There are so many great layers to this file. The parts that I have included in this card are: the ladybug, her wings, the leaves and the card base. There are also more layers included with the file. I just decided to make my ladybug extra large, so I used a few less pieces.

The card base is made from a K & Co. paper pad called Wild Saffron. It is a double sided paper and it has a good, thick quality to it. I cut the lady bug in three layers. The base is a light brown cardstock. The first set of wings is one side of the patterned paper. The top layer of wings is cut from Bazzill Swiss Dots cardstock. I pulled it all together with a brown polka dot brad. I added some googley eyes for fun. I went aroun the edges of the outer wings with a brown pen so they wouldn't get "lost" on the card. I also added glitter pen around all the bug edges and white dots here and there. I thought she still needed some bling so I put some yellow gems in her wing holes. The ribbon is a sheer lime green polka dot. I put a Making Memories staight pin through the middle of the bow. The leaves are cut from Canson Effects Iridescent paper.

On the inside I added a lining that was slightly smaller than the card. I used the Slice (Noteworthy Design Card) to cut photo corners from leftovers of the patterned paper (this time from the front side of the paper). The cute lemon looking shape and the word Hello are from the Cricut cart Stamping Solutions. I added some white dots here and there and some gems for some bling. TFL!

Happy Birthday Cupcake - Home Decor, Stamping Solutions

I made this card for a sweet little friend of mine who's birthday is at the end of this month. She is really into cupcakes, so this die cut popped into my head first thing. I used Design Studio and the Home Decor cartridge from Cricut and welded two 5" cupcakes together (one of the cupcakes has to be flipped to make the cupcakes fit together). Then I just cut the layers in different colors and glued it all down.

The top of the cupcake is brown and I added white dots all around the edges for dimension. The cupcake "wrapper" is made from mirrored cardstock. The paper underneath all of it is a glittered floral print. The cherry is a mirrored red cardstock.

I cut the cupcake card out a second time in a solid cardstock for the inside and glued it on.

I cut the inside sentiment from the Stamping Solutions Cricut cartridge and also shadowed it.

I added 3 different bows to the fold of the card. And then I tied a bow around those bows. I guess I was feeling a little artsy fartsy (lol!). It is a little different, but I like how it came out.

All the paper is by DCWV. It is from their Citrus Premium Stack and Citrus Cardstock stack. They are quickly becoming some of my favorite papers! TFL!
