Celebrating a 21st Birthday with a Cool Box Card

Hello My Fellow Crafters,

Have you ever asked yourself “where has the time gone”? Reason why I’m asking is that I can’t believe my nephew is 21 🙂

So for his birthday I had to make a card that would really set the mood for being an adult.  Now he can go out for wings and have a cold one!

Can you hear me singing ~ 21 mugs of beer on a card, 21 mugs of beer ~ LOL

I really have 21 mugs on this card that I cut using my Cricut Explore Air.  And also found some bottles using Cricut Access. What I love about the Cricut Explore is that I got to customize the bottles!  I have to say, this was another great Cricut Card Idea 🙂

I know that I have said it before but these Box Cards are so much fun to make.  After cutting everything out with my Cricut,  I put all the mugs together with Tombow Mono Liquid glue.  Then I had to add that special look “bling” with some Martha Stewart glitter for the beer foam.

~ Happy Birthday Ryan ~

My Crafty Cricut Card Idea

Hello My Fellow Crafters,

It has been a super busy summer and it is finally slowing down.  I have so many cards to share with you all and I am going to start with my favorite one of the summer 🙂My Godson Tyler graduated High School and is now a freshman in College.

So for this card on one side flap I put his high school Emblem and the other the Emblem of his College.

Now here is my crafty Cricut Card Idea.  I didn’t just want to give him a check or cash in his card so I incorporated the cash into the design of the card.  I rolled up the cash added string with attached stars.  Next make paper tubes with the designer congratulations paper,then inserted the rolled cash into tube.  Now all he had to do was pull the stars and his gift would come out of the rolled paper tubes, and the card will still look good 🙂

I used my Cricut Explore Air to cut everything that was used to make this card.  I have said this so many times and I will say it again I LOVE MY CRICUT!

Thanks for stopping by today ~ I will be posting more cards that I have made this summer so please come back and check them out.

Flower Garden Box Card for Mothers Day

Hello My Fellow Crafters,

I love making box cards.  You’re creativity and imagination can go wild, because you can insert any kind of cut-out to create your card.  This flower garden card was made for my mother-in-law for Mothers Day.

2017 Mothers Day cardWhat is so sweet, she keeps some of the cards that we have given her for various occasions displayed in the china hutch. So for this card I decided not to make the sentiment visible so it can stay out all year.

My husband loved the way the fencing was around the base of the card 🙂

This card was made using my Cricut Explore Air, various Thin Cut dies used with a Cuttlebug machine, lots of Stamps and Ink.

Happy Easter Card Idea

Hello My Fellow Crafters,

I hope you all had a wonderful and relaxing Easter.

Today I want to share with you the Easter Card I made this year.

2017 easter card

Who says you need real eggs to color at Easter…I didn’t color real eggs, but I sure had fun coloring these paper ones 🙂

The card base I used is called a Z fold which is super easy to make, plus it gives your card such a great look.

Using the Cricut Explore Air machine I cut out the flowers, stems and grass.  Since you could see the back of the flowers with this type of card, I cut the flowers out twice so I could glue them to the front and back of the stems.

And it can’t be an Easter Card without some Bunnies and Eggs, so  I used a few stamps that I had of cute Easter bunnies and Easter eggs.  Colored with Copic markers and some Spectrum Noir markers, then cut them out by hand and arranged them on the card.

This was such a fun card to make and of course I finished it off with some “bling” using rhinestones to decorate the eggs.

Just a reminder, If you plan on purchasing some Cricut products, there is FREE SHIPPING till the end of the month, and saving money on shipping means you can buy more products 🙂

Cricut Card Idea for A Sweet Sixteen Birthday

Hello My Fellow Crafters,

Celebrating special birthdays are more fun when you get to create a birthday card using a Cricut Explore Air Machine and rubber stamps 🙂

Today I am sharing a card that I made for our niece Nicole who is having her Sweet Sixteen Birthday.  I am really starting to feel old… LOL

The cake was made with the Cricut Explore Air and the candles with a stamp and thin die cut set from The Stamps of Life.

I stamped 16 candles on white cardstock then put it through the Cuttlebug® Machine using the matching candle die cut.  I love die cuts because it so much easier and quicker then cutting each image out with a scissor.  Colored each one using Copic Sketch markers.

Then the fun part came when I put it all together using ATG tape and also dimensional to make layers of candles.

Another great thing about handmade greeting cards is that if your creation doesn’t fit on a regular A2 size card, you can make it any size that you need too!

~ Happy Birthday Nicole ~
