Birdhouse Thank You

I'm indebted to some special people for their recent acts of kindness. The lastest in my attempts to thank them is this simple but cute birdhouse card. It's just right for that person who loves birds, birdhouses, or nature. Hope you like it.

Two Sets of Gingerbread Boy Notecards

Due to technical difficulties--mine, not the camera's--these cards are assembled already. But they are still cute. If you're a gingerbread man afficianado (like the lady who asked for them), or even if you're not, I hope you enjoy these easy-to-make, versatile cards.

"Precious and Few Are Friends Like You" all-occasion card--video

The second (but not alphabetically second) video in my "make a card using each of my Cricut cartridges" challenge to myself. The cartridge is Stretch Your Imagination. Hope you enjoy it. Pull out your catridges and have fun.

"Precious and few are friends like you" all-occasion card

Challenge #104 from Paper Players  http://thepaperplayers.blogspot.com/ is a Wordsmith challenge in which the sentiment is to be the main element. I combined that idea with my current personal challenge to myself to use each of my Cricut cartridges in a card. This installment, the second, uses Stretch Your Imagination, one that I've had for a long while but don't use often. The stamp is from Inkadinkado. The sunflower is 3 3/4" and uses the blackout, silhouette, and shadow features. Hope it inspires you to pull out those "seldom used" cartridges.

More pictures, #2--Masculine birthday card

It seems as though most of the men in my life have their birthdays and other big holidays in June and July. This card is for my brother who is turning 50.  I used the spider image from Cricut's Stretch Your Imagination cartridge. I think that the hat makes the spider look more like a guy. The image is cut in the blackout feature so that I could stamp the face (Peachy Keen Stamps) rather than have the cut out one. I added glossy accents to the eyes and an Action Wobble to the spider.  The inside sentiment is "Don't let it scare you!" I think it's both masculine and fun.

I'm entering it in the Freshly Made Sketches #38 contest. http://freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com/ I turned the sketch upside down.
