Round 3 with the fences...

YES, I did get a little carried away... ok A LOT carried away with my fence making but they were just so fun and so I filled a whole page on my cricut and cut! ;) These top ones I used the Street Lace stack again and MPS stamps.
 These cards used the Latte stack from DCWV, MPS stamps and CTMH's Say It In Style set.
I ended up adding some prima flowers to these and those clear dots everyone called "skittles" a few years back.

Have the Happiest Birthday!

Here are some more cards with the fence I showed you yesterday. I realized that the My Pink Stamper stamp fit nicely across the fence so I used them too as well as the Say It In Style set from Close To My Heart. More Die Cuts With A View papers this time from the Street Lace stack. I thought I was finished with the top cards but they needed something extra so I got out the Home Decor cartridge and cut some cute butterflies at 1-1/4 inches to go on the from of these and then added some rhinestones in various places. I finished it up with some twine from The Twinery.

would you like a fence with that? :)

 These were inspired by a friend of mine who sent me a picture of some cards she was working on, when I asked her how she did the fence she said it was a border punch... sad for me I don't have any stores to go look for anything crafty so I got to thinking and remembered that there was a fence on the PaperDoll Dress-Up cartridge... happy me! I cut it to fit my card on the Gypsy and then used the Say It In Style set from CTMH for the sentiments. I also picked some cute papers form the DCWV Linen closet stack and added a purple ribbon for an accent. When I was done with that I decided it was a little too plain so I went through my stuff and found these awesome paper butterflies from Close To My Heart  and inked them up a bit with Desert Sand :) Thanks for stopping by today!

CTMH cards using Lucky and Dream Big stamp set

 I decided to dive into my Lucky kit the other day, I really wanted to use the Dream Big stamp set and create a card with a tic tac toe grid. First I cut a square from Mini Monograms at 3 inches. I then used a black super fine sharpie to make the grid and then started stamping with desert sand and Outdoor Denim ink. I added a cute brown button and some hemp and put it together on an orange scallop square cut at 3-1/4... I wanted a little more orange showing then just the regular so that's why its a bit bigger. Then using some of the pattern Lucky papers I cut them to fit for the background and added my grid on top with foam tape. The lighter brown images are from 2nd generation stamping. To learn more about that click HERE.
 This one I used the frog and Olive ink

skeleton party invites

 I finally got to use my cricut markers I have had FOREVER! Someone asked if I had a skeleton cut since her son was having a party and wanted a skeleton on the card... of course I do! I had first cut these out without the markers and then I went back with a black marker and traced all the lines... that took a while and she wanted 20 so I got my brain a thinking and remembered that I had those markers and would it work? YES it worked great. I got my gypsy and layed the whole thing out on that cutting them at 4. If you haven't used these markers they are really cool, you place it in where your blade goes and instead of cutting it draws the lines :) happy me!
Then once that was done I returned to the design and using the hide contour button I hid everything except the eyes, nose and outside line then i replaced my marker back with the blade and hit cut... AWESOME!
 When I dropped them off I told her I thought it would be cute to use some googly eyes on them so this is what she came up with... thanks for letting me help with these :)

A&C thank you cards

 As well as the wedding announcements I posted about yesterday I also made this happy couple about 150 thank you cards with the same shimmer paper. I used Elegant Edges and my Gypsy to create this border, the white paper is all one piece cut at 3.14 W x 4 H and the blue was cut at 2.75 W x 3.50 H the outside border was cut from the next card design below...
 I figured since the border was being cut I might as well use both parts because I had originally planned to only use the part on the 2nd card.
 Here they all are, getting ready to be delivered.

wedding invites for A&C

 I think these turned out beautiful. I used some light blue and white shimmer paper and some navy blue ribbon to tie the whole thing together. The information was printed on the blue piece.

"J" wreath

A few weeks ago I had a friend ask me to make this "J" to go on a wreath she had made. She decided on Lyrical Letters Capital for the font. I cut it at 5.90 H x 5.75 W with my Gypsy. I cut it from 2 colors and then she of-set them.
