three Quick Cards with a Half Sheet Wonder plus win a punch!
Some days you just want to whip up some quick and easy cards, right? That was me last night, so I went for my never fail 'half sheet wonder', my lazy adaptation of the one sheet wonder! Basically this just means you stamp up a half sheet of A4 cardstock, and then chop that up to use on your cards. I have used the Stampin' Up! Summer Mini set For Everything which I am really loving at the moment as it's happy and summery. I used Certainly Celery, Sage Shadow, Pretty in Pink and So Saffron as my colours.
For this one it was just punching the shapes with the scallop square punch, adding a heart from I Heart Hearts and a button from the yummy Sherbert Designer Series buttons. To finish off I embossed a greeting from Cheer & Wishes (in the main catalogue) in white.
For this one I stamped the tiny flower from For Everything in Versamark as a background. I cut a semi circle using the 1 3/8" circle punch, and the greeting from Happy Thoughts using the 1 1/4" circle punch. I finished this one off with a scallop punched edge, another button from the Sherbert Designer Series Buttons and a heart from I Heart Hearts. I didn't intentionally place it so the outside of the flower frames it, but it looks kind of cute don't you think?
For this last one I stamped the greeting from For Everything, and then matted it with Certainly Celery using the Scallop Oval Punch. Finished off with two hearts and a button. Easy hey?

It's so very easy to do. Here's the template - sorry it's a bit messy!
You'll need a piece of card stock 6 X 9" in size. Score 1" in on both long ends, turn it & score 4" in on both short ends. Cut in to the 1" score lines at both 4" score lines. Fold up & adhere the sides together.
Then cut two Scallop Square dies or cut your own 4 1/2" square shape & adhere to the front & back of the basket. I added polka dot texture to my Celery scallop squares with the Perfect Polka dot impressions folder. And then I cut a length of ribbon for a handle & adhered it with brads.
Here's a better view of the cards for those who like to case exactly.
Remember, I used SU's pre-packaged note cards with envelopes. You get 20 in a package for $5.95 & are 5" X 3 1/2" in size.
3x3 Assorted Card Set w/ Box
This is a set of 12 3x3 note cards, envelopes, and a 4x4 box that I made to have on hand for a gift or inventory.
I used my Cuttlebug on every card and several embossing folders and Cricut cartridges. I can't remember exactly which ones, but if anyone has questions - don't hesitate to ask.
All cards are blank on the inside.
Thanks for looking. Questions & comments are always welcomed.

Mother's day is next Sunday here in the UK. I made this mothers day card using the doily card cut from WC at 5" and used a gorgeous Lily-Boo digi image for the centre and finished off with a triple bow.
The challenge over at Lily-Bootoo this month is Mother's day so why not get a head start on your cards! Lily-Boos Boutique also have a DT call out at the moment you can find the details here if you fancy being on the Design Team!
Thanks so much for looking x

I decided to start by trying the gorgeous Letterpress technique that I've seen on so many cards. The finished product looks so professional that the recipient will never guess it was so easy! The only difference with this technique is that before you put the cardstock over the stencil, you apply pigment ink directly to the stencil. This is what gives the debossed portion of the image a different color. I inked my stencil with Colorbox Cloud White ink before running it through The Wizard. I also cut one of the butterflies from the design, spritzed it with Lime Metallic Maya Mist, and popped it up at the bottom. The patterned paper is from the October Afternoon Ducks in a Row paper pad and I used Thickers Patchwork for the sentiment. And here you can see a side-by-side comparison of the letterpress and embossed/chalked techniques. The technique on the left requires ink directly on the stencil before you send it through your machine. With the technique on the right you send it through the machine first to emboss your cardstock and then chalk the embossed portion with pigment ink.
I wanted to try something different with my second card so I sent cardstock through The Wizard to emboss it (with the Butterfly stencil) and then keeping the stencil in place, I spritzed the cardstock with Iridescent Pearl Metallic Maya Mist. I love this effect! I decided to pair it with the cherries from Berries and Cherries and some patterned paper that reminds me of a 70's diner from the October Afternoon Report Card collection. I also used the same Thickers Patchwork chipboard for the sentiment. I decided I wasn't quite through with this technique so I embossed another piece of cardstock and misted it with Lime Metallic Maya Mist so you can see the closeup of that too.
OK I promise...just one more card! This time I decided to emboss the cardstock (with the Pebbles Impressabilities), chalk the embossed portion with white pigment ink, and then cut a heart from that piece. You can see the cool design on the red heart behind the image panel. I stamped the Whales in Love with Memento Rich Cocoa ink, colored it with Copic markers, and cut it out with the Spellbinders Classic Heart die. I added Glossy Accents to the water and Crystal Stickles to the hearts. And then finished it off with some Caribbean satin ribbon and the Thickers Patchwork chipboard.

Baby Shower Invitation
My mom is helping to plan a baby shower for a couple from church so we sat down last weekend to create a few invitations. I wanted to use a duck on the invitation, but none of the duck stamps I have were fitting the vision in my head. I tried to sketch a duck in order to create a template and my efforts can be summed up in one word.... laughable! So I asked my mom to try sketching a duck and she came out with this perfect little duck on the first try! Apparently I didn't receive that gift from her! :) So we traced her duck template onto cardstock, cut each one out, and chalked the edges with Yellow Ochre chalk ink. Then we added Orange Sparkly Fluff to the beak and a tiny Black Pearl for the eye. The patterned paper is from the October Afternoon Ducks in a Row collection and the "You're Invited" stamp is from the $1 spot at Michael's. I just love how these turned out and my mom said the baby shower guests loved them too! Thanks for stopping by today! Hope to see you tomorrow for TESC101! There's still time to enter your card in last week's sketch challenge for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate to the TE Store! Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Chocolate covered strawberry
I used the Sweet Treats cartridge for this card (One of my favorite carts!)
Cut the card base (Page 50) at 4". This is just a plain card, but fit the strawberry exactly. The patterned cardstock is from DCWV. Cut all other layers with your paper trimmer. Round the corners with a corner rounder punch.
Cut the Strawberry top (Page 34: shift/layer) at 2 1/2" Real Dial size. Emboss with your swiss dots cuttlebug folder and ink lightly with black ink.
Cut another strawberry top from dark brown. (same size) Trim as shown in picture below. For the strawberry leafs, cut from green (p. 34 layer) at 5" Real Dial size. Then trim off excess. (You don't need the icecream part). Tape a white piece of paper on the back of the strawberry as shown.
Draw lines on the leafy part with a colored pencil (I used Crayola) and then use gamsol on a small sponge and a blender stick to blend the colored pencil a bit.
Assemble strawberry and spray with glimmer mist. Use glitter glue on the white dots.
cover brown cardstock with dimensional glaze and let dry (a long time!) When it is all dry, adhere to top of strawberry. Looks yummy!

Heart warming Bunny
I had this patterned paper from Wild Asparagus that I love and wanted to use for a card, so this is what I came up with. The bunny is from the Winter Woodland cartridge (p. 58) cut at 2 1/2 inches with the shadow and layers. I inked the edges of everything with Ranger Antique Linen ink. I chalked the bunny's little cheek with pink chalk and a q-tip. Hint: Rub most of the chalk off on a scratch piece of paper so the cheek will be very subtle. I also raised every layer of the bunny with pop dots. The stamp is from a Fiskars set and the grass is from the Paper Doll Dressups cartridge. I tied ribbon and tulle together to make the bow. To finish everything off and make it shiny, I sprayed glimmer mist over the entire card.

DREAM... MINI CARDS
DREAM
The background was stamped, as well as the word Dream, the flowers and border were punched using Fiskar's paper punches, the leaves I believe was an EK punch. The center of the flower was embossed with the Swiss Dot Cuttlebug embossing folder. The cardstock is white linen from Wausau.

Love this cut from SYI. Card has been in my head for awhile but didn't get it made.
another one using my cuddle bug embossing folder. I use these little freebies all the time.
used the technique someone posted about embossing the whole paper after using the embossing folder. I didn't ink my folder, just inked the embossing and used clear embossing powder.
last one! this is a new (I think) embossing folder from Sizzix using the same allover embossing with clear powder. I inked the berries and vines with a little makeup sponge for eye shadow.

Invite Experiment!
Author: Stacey | at:Saturday, February 20, 2010 | Category : Big Shot, Cupcakes, DCRU, Doodlecharms |
I have been experimenting this morning with some ideas for invitations to a fancy party! As always I like to put a Stacey twist on things! I love how this has turned out and I think I will be using this design quite a bit! It is a small version of what the actula invit will be, The cupcake is cut at 5" in shadow and welded together in DS ( I flipped the one image so they would match up when folded ) Then I have cut just one more shadow layer to stick over the top. Next I have cut it in the black out feature and stuck this on with foam pads, I added a silver border peel off sticker to the bottom then added some gems! I have used white card for the icing which i have then embossed with the big shot. To top the icing I have glued the embossed swirls then added fine glitter! I could not resis the opportunity to make this even more sparkly so I added more gems!!!
I have been looking at challenge blogs today so I have decide to enter this in the Die Cuts R Us Challenge!!! wish me luck!!!
Love Birds
Author: Stacey | at:Monday, February 08, 2010 | Category : Big Shot, Bo Bunny, Doodlecharms, Embossing, Hello Kitty, Indie Arts |
It is coming upto Valentine's day so I though I would get in the mood for ramance and create some valentines cards! I must admit I have seen a few versions of the bird cut on the cricut forum and on some of the blogs I have stumbled across. I was so inspired that I decided to create my own version!!! This card ( I think ) has used the most carts during its birth, but I think the hard work is reflected!!! The card is A5 in size and it is made from brown pearl card. The background papers are by Bo Bunny and they are both the reverse of christmas papers!!! I have hidden the join with some American Crafts ribbon and punched the blue card with my Martha Stewart border punch. The bird is cut from Indie Arts at approx 3", I cut the shadow, then the blackout and then the shape, they have been shaded with brown ink then layered. The clouds are cut from the Hello Kitty Greetings cart, I have run them through the big shot using the divine swirls embossing folder them inked them up again using brown ink. The little heart that the bird is carrying is cut from Doodlecharms and embossed. To finish off the card I have used my trusted pearl gems!!! The smaller card is done almost the same but using up scraps for the background!!!

In keeping with my good blogger pledge I am pleased to bring you another card!!! I have been at it with the cupcakes again! I must say I have stolen a few ideas from the amazing card I had for my birthday from Julie over at huxtershouse!!! You can see that card here http://huxtershouse.blogspot.com/2009/11/cupcake-birthday-for-stacey.html
The card is A5 and it is a pearl brown cardstock The background is actually the reverse of a Bo Bunny christmas paper ( nothing goes to waste ) I have cut the cupcake using Doodlecharms and I think it is cut at about 6". I have aged the edges of the cupcake top and embossed it with the divine swirls embossing folder using my big shot!!! I have finished off the cupcake with some fab sticky gems and a bow using american crafts ribbon. The whole card is then finished with a self adhesive lace strip and more of those cute gems x x x

Wedding Heart Card
|
- Cut and fold a piece of Bazzill Bling String of Pearls into the desired card size.
- Cut the "I Do" heart and "Congrats" wording on a QuicKutz Silhouette. I cut them both using Basic Grey paper. Cover the "I Do" letters with gold ink or gold pen and run the pen (or ink) around the heart.
- Cover the card in Heidi Grace Cherrywood Lane Mini Floral Glitter paper so that the textured side of the Bazzill is visible (adhere the Mini Floral paper to the reverse of the Bazzill).
- Stick the heart to the middle of the card.
- Trace a line from corner to corner and cut through the line going around the heart shape.
- Adhere a length of brown organza ribbon around the bottom of the card as shown.
- Stick on the "Congrats" title. Draw around the word with a clear Sakura Gelly Roll pen then immediately sprinkle with glitter. Do the same for the "I do" letters within the heart. Blow off excess glitter then leave to dry.
- Run a gold pen (or gold ink) around all edges on the card.
- Fit a piece of Heidi Grace Mix Floral paper behind a rectangle frame from the Heidi Grace Chipboard Shapes pack. Attach to card.
- Stick on flourish dots from the Heidi Grace Chipboard Shapes pack around the frame as shown. Draw with the clear Sakura pen on each shape as shown then immediately sprinkle with glitter. Leave to dry then top with a K&Co Wedding Pearl.

Birthday Turtle
I had been seeing so many wonderful shape cards on the Cricut Message Board that I wanted to do one too! I used the turtle cut from the Walk in My Garden cart and welded two shadow cuts in Design Studio. Her hat is from the Celebrations cart. She has rain dots for "toes" and the trim on the bottom of her shell is a Martha Stewart punch. Belated birthday day tag is computer generated and I used Nestabilites to cut it out. Party hat is Cuttle Bugged with swiss dots and then sanded. I tied a ribbon underneath her chin and added a flower. Rhinestones and pom-pom added for some bling. Lots of doodling and inking! I made this card for another wonderful Sister-In-Law!!

Candy Corn Kisses and Halloween Wishes
Anothe Halloween Card using Doodle Charms for the Candy Corn. I cut them in 3 different layers so that I could emboss them all differently. I used Co'rdinations card stock and then sanded it. I love this stuff!! The Candy Corn is part of a cut that includes other pieces of candy, but I didn't want them to cut so I used the "Hide Contour" button in Design Studio. I am so happy they came up with that feature and I use it all the time!

Heres Peepin @ You Kid
I was inspired by the post on the Cricut message boards and by some cards at work for this one. I used the Cricut cart. Doodle Charms for the Bunny Face..cut at 3.5 inches (I think) the basket is from Doodle Charms at 4.75 inches.... the chick is from Stretch Your Imagination at 3 inches (again I think) and the eggs are from Doodle Charms at 2.5 inches. The sign is hand made. I had lots of fun making this card...for the shading I used colored pencils, mineral spirits and ink.
Thanks for looking!

Love You Flag Card #2
Here's another color of the Love You Flag card (previously posted on 1/22/10) using the Sending Love DSP. The front belly band panel has been changed to have the "love" die cut from the Big Shot Join in the Cheer Decorative Strip Die. I can't decide which color I like best (but of course, silly: the RED one posted 1/22/10). Love this double sided specialty DSP - one side has glitter and one side is regualr print.......love this!!!
A closer look at the belly band. The Tiny Tag is using sewing thread to tie onto the "e". The Scallop Trimmed Pretty in Pink Panel finished measurement is 3-1/4" x 2-1/4". The DSP is then popped with dimensionals while the Polka Dot punched Full Hear is adhered on top using snail adhesive. "Love" is also applied on top of the heart using snail adhesive, too.
Here's the card slightly opened to show the flag message: always, XO XO, and you. Note there is a change I made in the right and left inside: the pocket panels are flush with the card edge. This provides a bit more stability.

Valentine Candy Card
This little Valentine Candy Card was made in SCAL, you can get the file HERE. The paper is scored at 3 1/2", 7 1/4", and 7 3/4". The bottom is brought up and stapled on each edge to form a pouch. This is perfect for individual "fun sized" candies!
Welcome to the Practical Scrappers Blog Hop!
**This post will remain at the top this weekend - scroll down to see new posts**
Thank you for stopping by my blog during the Practical Scrappers Designer Blog Hop. I have created a 3D Valentine card to share with you! This card was designed in Cricut Design Studio using Plantin Schoolbook. You can grab the cut file HERE! The base scores at 4" and the inside heart inset scores at 2" from each edge (vertically) and the the center fold is down the middle of the heart. The inset glues in just off the edges of the base. If you want that little heart scallop, it is a SCAL download on my right side bar.

Heart Candy Card - Cricut Cut File
I designed this card in Design Studio using George and Basic Shapes and it will fit the 6x12 mat (remember to change the mat size). The cut file contains two tabs, the tri-fold card base with welded hearts and then the second tab contains the inside large mat and the three hearts so you can change their color! You can download the Cricut cut file HERE. There are two score marks which can be created based off the curves of the card. The middle section folds in and the front section folds out (back side of the paper will be seen). The front section needs adhesive down the open side and along the bottom to form the candy pocket. I used Heidi Swapp's double-sided paper for this card so both sides would remain the same through the folds.

Okie's Sketch Challenge
Ok... I was finally talked into doing one of Okie's Sketch Challenges by Melissa aka Buggincrazy from the Cricut Message Boards.... sketch challenges usually leave me all blank.... I can't think past the sketch..... so they usually make me loose all my creativity.... the Jeannie part of my card just disappears.... but since Melissa asked me to do it I got my mind thinking and I chose the sketch above... there are always 2 so this is the one I chose... and this is my take on it... really really interested in what you think!!!... I turned it counter clockwise and went from there... ~~Hugs, Jeannie

Be Inspired #65 –Asian Theme Project
January 6th, 2010 | Author: Odette
Hello my friends & welcome back! — I really hope you’ve had a very good end of year and had fun as much as I did with family and very close friends!!
Today I would like to share some happy news… :) –A few days ago, Maggie from Cuttlebug Challenge asked me to join her Design Team, WOW! … I felt really honored that she had asked me to be part of a group of fabulously talented ladies. I really love Cuttlebug products, so, how could I possibly say no! –Here I go with my first submission:
For this week, we were challenged to create an Asian theme project featuring white as the focus color using the new Asian Line embossing folders, a previous Summer release embossing folders or any Provo Craft Folders. Since I haven’t got my Asian Line yet, I used “Leafy Branch” embossing folder.
I so love the simplicity of the card …

Cookie Box and Bear Swing Card - Cuttlebug Challenge
I had a great time designing the projects for this weeks Sweet Treat Thursday on Cuttlebug Challenge featuring the Cricut! Make sure to visit and sign up for the prizes on the Cuttlebug Challenge for the month of January. They are giving away Everyday Paper Dolls and Sweet Treats cartridges for your Cricut!
I chose the bear from Doodlecharms for the theme of my projects this week. I used Plantin Schoolbook for the box cut, Mini Monograms for the circle cut and scallop circle and the rest of the cuts are from the fabulous and oh so versatile Doodlecharms!
It's getting closer to Valentine's day and I know many of you still have kids in school and are always looking for the extra special way to deliver treats so for this week's project over at I made a COOKIE BOX and BEAR SWING CARD set. The cookie box will fit the Lofthouse from Walmart.
Card instructions -
These are the cuts you end up with for the card. The mats are all labeled for you. If you wish to use the same words as I have used then you can download the BEARY SWEET MSWORD file. I used a 1.5" punch for the You're so Beary Sweet and a 1.75" punch for the Be My Valentine. Of course I think they would look darling with stamped sentiments as well!
To assemble the card first assemble your scallop cirlce to your circle tag cut. Then apply your sentiment circle on top of the scallop circle. Put your finished tag on top of the card and see where you want to place it, making sure not to cover up the bear cut out at the bottom. Apply with a brad so the tag will swing over. Next take your 1.75" circle and place it under where the tag will be when straight down.
Next apply your card top to your card base using adhesive or glue. If you do it this way then the brad prongs won't be visible and it makes for a neater looking card. Embellish your bear as you wish. Since it was such a small cut I used a fine point marker to do the face with. I dotted the small heart with a white gel pen and used a piece of mounting foam to add it on top of the bear. I then glued the bear into the area of the cut out on the card.
That's it...your card is done!
Assembling the envelope is easy. Just score from corner to corner and then fold the larger side in. Add adhesive to the short side along the length and then the bottom flap and press down.
I inked the edges of the little envelop and added some white stitching with a white gel pen. I applied some ribbon across the front and topped it with the bear cut out from the card front. A heart brad was added to his belly.
COOKIE BOX instructions - I used Plantin Schoolbook for the box, Mini Monograms for the circle cut out and scallop circle ring and Doodlecharms for the bears and hearts
Here are the cuts you will end up with. I already have my bears and hearts embellished. I drew on the bears faces, using a white gel pen for the eyes. I did cut the nose out and glued it on and then added some Glossy Accents. I also used a white gel pen to write "You're" "Beary" "Sweet" on the hearts.
The scoring is done from V cut to V cut and then along the length of the box as shown in the picture. I did add the score lines in the picture to give you a better idea of where to score. You will also need to cut a 3" square of acetate and cover the circle cut out with it. I just used my ATG gun and did the edges and then placed over the hole. Make sure you apply this to the inside of the box.
Now apply the scallop circle ring to the outside of the box, lining up with the circle cut out. I used the Scotch quick dry glue to apply the scallop ring. I inked my scallop ring and added Stickles to the humps.
I used my ATG gun to add tape to each of the tabs on the box, making sure to apply the tape on what would be the outside print side. Fold the sides of the box over the tabs, the tabs will be on the inside of the box. The top of the box will just close over the bottom as seen in the last picture.
And now your project is all done! I hope you guys enjoy this project!
I chose the bear from Doodlecharms for the theme of my projects this week. I used Plantin Schoolbook for the box cut, Mini Monograms for the circle cut and scallop circle and the rest of the cuts are from the fabulous and oh so versatile Doodlecharms!
It's getting closer to Valentine's day and I know many of you still have kids in school and are always looking for the extra special way to deliver treats so for this week's project over at I made a COOKIE BOX and BEAR SWING CARD set. The cookie box will fit the Lofthouse from Walmart.
Card instructions -
These are the cuts you end up with for the card. The mats are all labeled for you. If you wish to use the same words as I have used then you can download the BEARY SWEET MSWORD file. I used a 1.5" punch for the You're so Beary Sweet and a 1.75" punch for the Be My Valentine. Of course I think they would look darling with stamped sentiments as well!
To assemble the card first assemble your scallop cirlce to your circle tag cut. Then apply your sentiment circle on top of the scallop circle. Put your finished tag on top of the card and see where you want to place it, making sure not to cover up the bear cut out at the bottom. Apply with a brad so the tag will swing over. Next take your 1.75" circle and place it under where the tag will be when straight down.
Next apply your card top to your card base using adhesive or glue. If you do it this way then the brad prongs won't be visible and it makes for a neater looking card. Embellish your bear as you wish. Since it was such a small cut I used a fine point marker to do the face with. I dotted the small heart with a white gel pen and used a piece of mounting foam to add it on top of the bear. I then glued the bear into the area of the cut out on the card.
That's it...your card is done!
