Fun Birthday Cricut Card Idea

Hello My Fellow Crafters,

Hope you all are having a wonderful day.  I’ve been having fun in my craft world today 🙂

I’ve been making a birthday card for my Godson who is turning 19 ~ did I just say 19 – holy moly time flies LOL

I decided to use my Cricut Explore Air for this this Birthday Card and was really happy to find this cool card design on Cricut Access.

All of the cardstock that was used is from Close To My Heart.  I also used stickles on the candle flames but it really doesn’t show up in this picture, but it added my “bling” that I always try to have on all of my cards 🙂

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 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 ~

Happy 1st Birthday Step Up Card

Hello My Fellow Crafters,

I had so much fun making this birthday card for our great nieces 1st Birthday.

happy birthday

This Cricut Explore Air machine is the BEST and using the Design Space to create these fun looking cards is so much easier then I expected (since I am really not a computer person) 🙂

I also used the Cuttlebug with an embossing folder to get the flower image onto the white cardstock.

There are so many great things about the Cricut Explore and Design space but what I have noticed is that I am not wasting paper anymore. I know exactly where everything is going to cut on the cutting mat because your computer screen shows what piece of the image is going to cut next.  I think that’s SUPER COOL 🙂
