Items for Hubby’s Board of Directors Celebration and Other Projects

21 May

This past week I worked on several projects. So let’s start with the biggest project first.

Items For Husband’s Board Celebration

Hubby asked me to make a card for a Board member who won the national volunteer of the year award for the organization he works for. The card evolved into a card, place cards with the Chicago skyline, a mailbox with the skyline and note cards for the other Board members to write notes of thanks to the award recipient, and a certificate. Everything turned out nicely and his Board loved them, but more importantly, he loved them! Here are some individual pictures…

Here is the video…

Next up, a card I made for my cousin’s 30th birthday…

And here is the quick video…

And, lastly, I have a couple of additions to the baby shower items I made. I created a money holder, which I used as a holder for a certificate for a custom mini album I will make for the baby, and a gift card holder. Both are from the Word Gift Card and Money Holders Template Cutting File from The Cutting Cafe. I loved the way they turned out!

Latte Cup Shaped Birthday Card – The Cutting Cafe Design Team Project

14 May

Latte Shaped Cup Birthday Card

This week for The Cutting Cafe design team, the theme was coffee. We had three files we could choose from and I used two of the three. First I used a newer file, The Coffee Cup Shaped Card 2, then I added a sentiment from the Got Coffee Printable Stamp Set. I used paper from the DCWV Natural stack and added glitter to the stripe on the lid. I needed a birthday card and this one was perfect.

On the inside is a surprise. It holds a gift card!

The file that I did not use is the Coffee Cup Holder Set Template File. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Masculine Card Challenge on YouTube

16 Mar

Masculine Birthday Card

Crafticakes7 on YouTube had a challenge giveaway for reaching 300 subscribers. She wanted to see what kind of masculine cards for any occasion that people come up with as it tends to be harder to do cards for males as you can’t use flowers, glitter, ribbons, bling, etc. So someone I work with has a birthday coming up, so I made this card for him and entered in into the challenge. Thanks for stopping by and be sure to watch my video below for the information on what was used.

Valentine Birthday Flip Card

13 Feb

Valentine Birthday Flip Card

It is Inspiration Wednesday and time for a new project for The Cutting Cafe! This week we could choose from any valentine file in the cafe to use. I chose to use two files to create this card: The Square Flip Card Template and the This Cake is all Heart Printable Stamp Set. My aunt’s birthday is on Valentine’s Day so this card is for her. The cake image is made of heart shapes and the inside sentiment, which comes with the printable stamp set, mentions both birthday and Valentine’s Day! That was just perfect! Be sure to stop over at the cafe later today to see all the latest design team projects! Thanks for stopping by!

Altered Target Dollar Bin Mailboxes for Valentine’s Day

10 Feb

These are two mailboxes from Target I just quickly decorated for my 5-year-old god brother and his 6-year-old cousin. Nothing elaborate, just a quick cover in paper and stickers. But they will amuse my little ones. I will fill them with candy and a few trinkets. Thanks for stopping by.

Exploding Box for Sweet Nothings Stamp Company Design Team Call

27 Jan

Here is my first exploding box! Take the top off and the sides fall to reveal the inside design and message. I decided to do this for the design team call for Sweet Nothings Stamp Company, which is a digital stamp company. The image I used is Love Letter Sophie and I colored her with both Copic and Spectrum Noir markers. I have her popped up on a part of a doily.

For the box I used the new valentine line of paper from My Mind’s Eye called Lucky in Love and I used roses and metallic stickers from Michael’s. I added white trim and flat back pearl trim from my stash, and hot pink glitter ribbon from Michael’s. I thought the color combination was great and I really love the way it turned out. Thanks so much for visiting. Please feel free to follow on the right side of the screen!
