Thank You Pocket Card


One can never have enough thank you cards around.
1.  The envelope is 9" x 4 4/3". 
2.  The inside card is 5 1/2" x  4". 
Depending on what glue you use to close the envelop.
You might need to trim a 1/4" off for a better fit.
3. Arched the top of the inside card and
rounded the  bottom corners.
4. Used graphics from the old pccrafter site by
Kimberly Montgomery "Peace and Kindness".
I could not find where her graphics are for sale any more.

Tear Bear Wedding Card

The wedding theme was a mountain cabin setting. Bears are one of the couples favorites. I discovered a new process to create a tear bear. Still working on it, but I think this is better than my first one. I embossed the background with "Love Language" Cuttlebug embossing folder. It turned out pretty good. I hope they liked it.

Blank Card


With the help of a Cuttlebug embossing folder, this card went together fast. I printed the check pattern on the bottom section of a quarter card size area; attached the ribbon, pearls and saying. The inside is blank but has a blue and white layer of 24 lb paper to set off the writing area.

This card was for Suntalee's very special day of going to the temple. She looked so beautiful and happy.

Jungle Theme Baby Shower

This is my word book. It is a card for a baby shower tomorrow. I designed the colored background paper and it is included in the GSD file. The "Born to be Wild" graphics by Shelly Comisky can be found at pccrafter.com.
I used my Cuttlebug to emboss each page. It dressed up the back side enough to leave them plain.
Each photo spot is raised with a pop dot. Since this is going to be given at the baby shower ultra-sound pictures will be placed on each page.
I punched holes with my Big Bite and tied ribbon on the rings after I assembled the album.Maybe I'll make another one for a girl. Here are the GSD file which includes that blue background paper: B ; A ; B ; Y For those of you without a Craft Robo I am working on a PDF file.

Thrifty Card


So I challenged myself to take paper I did not care for and turn it into something I liked.
This pack of cards was .25 cents at Michael's. It is a nice heavy weight of cardstock.
The black left over scrap from another card was used for a frame. I secured the paper into place with two pieces of tape. Then I add my favorite adhesive ATG tape gun and attached it the card.


I cut the saying with my Cuttlebug using a Nestibilities die, embellished with a bow. What do you think. Not to bad and I used paper I would not consider using.

Baby Boy Card

Redesigned the stork card for a boy. I used Swiss Dot folder for my Cuttlebug for the background of the white. Inside is the negative of the rattle and blocks that spell boy. I cut everything with my Gazelle this time. I have not quite got the hang of converting WPC files into GSD.

I will be posting the final of the wedding announcements.

Wedding Invitations

I was asked to create a wedding announcement for January with colors of white, black and red. They want a snow theme. I worked up these three selection to for a start. It will be fun to see what we end up with. Below I have given you closeups:

This Cuttlebug embossed selection has a band embellished with a snowflake cut with my Craft Robo.
This is a gate card. The white to the back is where the announcement would peek through or a picture of the couple. It is embossed with hearts and embellished with a heart brad and a snowflake cut with my Craft Robo.
This selection was embossed with swirls linked hearts and words from Cuttlebug "With Love", charm and red ribbon.
Vellum embossed snowflakes for the closure seals on the envelopes were printed black and then embossed with opaque power.
I will post the final announcement once it is complete.

Snowman Soup



Thanks to the graphics from Laurie Furnell at pccrafter.com, this cute little card was a snap to make. I printed a quarter card front with a tan background and snowman. On the other half of the card I printed the inside and the extra snowman for the front.
Using my Cuttlebug and the Swiss Dot embossing folder to give the front dimension, I cut the extra snowman out and used pop dots to raise him off the page. I picked up snowman marshmallows from Walmart. Plastic wrap holds the marshmallows in place and covered wire closes the wrap. Spoon is mounted with a pop dot.
Punched two hold through the package of cocoa, topper and front of card. The ribbon hold all three together. I made these for my granddaughter's teachers. Hope they like them.

Think Pink

This was breast cancer month. I did these two cards for a swap using graphics from Heart & Soul by Laurie Furnell. The Perfectly Paisley Cuttlebug folder was used for the background and dimensionals to raise the stripe paper and parts of the card. The picture below was the first card I made; you can see how the embossing folder really adds.
Often you never get to see what they did on the inside. Thought you might like to see this one.

Variety Bee Cards


I thought this little bee was so cute. It is from the "Thinking of you" collection by Cara Bradshaw at pccrafter.com. The first one I added a Cuttlebug "Hi".
I used a Quickkut Cookie Cutter and a Cuttlebug thank you.
Added puff pen on the dots and a button.
This is a gate fold card with dimensional dots.



Gate fold is very easy. I will be adding a tutorial with weekend for a gate fold birthday card.

Thank you Elvis



There is a nurse's aid, in the health center where my sister-in-law is being cared for, that walks the halls singing Elvis songs. He has really been a big help in her care. Thought I would share the card I made for him. Picture is from album cover. I used Cuttlebug script folder to emboss the front flaps and Nestibilities Dies for the white and red mats. The cute star snaps. I received in a swap.

Monocolor Cards

Thought I would share the cards I worked up for a monocolor swap:
The lettering was done with my Gazelle and a sparkle gelly pen. The font was Romanticly Yours.
This card fits into a standard small business envelope. I used Accent corner brads for the embellishments. The lettering was again done with Gazelle and Bayscript font.
The card below was embossed with Cuttlebug folder, and dusted with a touch of purple chalk.
I used paper by DCWV. The small star button are layered on top of the larger buttons with glue dots. You guessed it, all cards' lettering was done with my Gazelle and some kind of gel pen. The font below is a font by pccrafter.com. Accent brad was also added.

Quick Birthday Card

This card can be made in a matter of minutes. Use a Cuttle Bug folder to emboss the flower and lightly chalk the embossing. Find a picture with a cute face and cut just the face out. Add a cute graphic with dimensionals and attach a bow.

Hello Friend

Graphics for this card are from Simply Spring by Shelly Comiskey and Spring is in the Air by Marie Cole, found on pccrafter.com. I used Cuttlebug die cut Friends Forever. Pop dots were used to give dimension to the cute little duck and Aleene's Paper Glaze for shine and dimension on the water splash. 

Camera is still not charged. I had to use my video camera. You don't realize how much you use something until you can't find it. I must have left the charger at my daughters. Hope I find it soon.

Get Well


The graphic is from "You are an Angel" at pccrafter.com. First layer was ran through the Cuttlebug with Swiss Dot folder. Second print was cut out around girl and glue dots were attached to the back to give some dimension. Fisker corner embossing punch was used on the corners. Touch of ribbon with add as a slider for the front tag. A gel sparkle pen gave an added touch to the flowers on her dress and to the stars in the lettering.

Special Delivery Card

Again, I could not find a graphic I liked that could be use to sale. So I designed a stork for this project. I used paper from DCWV The Summer Stack for the plaid. Cuttlebug embossed the white back ground with hearts using Love Language Combo (hearts)
Cuttlebug scalloped edge on the bottom of the back page. The cover is trimmed 1/2" on the bottom to revel the scallop. I used my new Gazelle for the cutting out all the goodies. I had a hard time getting it to cut. I was ready to box it up and send it back after a week of fighting with it. But as you can see I finally succeeded. A few more tries and I just might sale my Craft Robo, which I still dearly love.
I used the negative of the above cutouts for the inside. I want to make a few changes, then I may post the GSD file for the title. Hope my daughter likes the card.

Flower Card Swap


Although my time is very limited, I joined in a card swap on pccrafter.com. I used the same set of graphics for both cards. They are by Marie Cole. I embossed both with my Cuttlebug and added buttons, bling and ric rac. I also inclued matching envelopes.

Envelope Card


This card is so easy. It's almost done before you start. I used this graphic in the "Little Sentiments" collection by Carolee Jones found at pccrafter.com

I printed two on an 8.5" x 11" sheet of 65 lb cardstock. There was enough room for extra flowers and two yellow strips down the front.  I used dotted swiss Cuttlebug embossing folder on the flap and strip for the front of the card.  With my ATG gun I attached the embossed strip and use tacky glue for the flowers. Once the flowers were dry, I touched up the center of the flowers with a sparkle gel pen.

Blank Card


In just minutes, you can have five cards completed with four pieces of card stock. I used "Doodle Heart Valentine" graphics by Laurie Furnell. They can be purchased at pccrafter.com
1. Because the front of the card is doubled, I used 67 lb. card stock. Here is how I printed out the graphics to achieve 5 cards.

2. Cute paper in half at the 5 1/2". Then the piece on the left needs to be cut in half at the 4 1/4".

3. I used the "Love Language" embossing folder in my Cuttlebug on the front panel. I did not want the lace part of the graphic embossed, so I place the edge of the folder along the graphic line.

4. Here you can see a close up of the embossing. You can also see that I used two copies of the border layered together. It does not matter how they meet, because the medallion will cover the connection up.
5. Fold the butterfly portion of the card in half, with the butterfly inside.

6. I lined up the embossed panel and the front of the card together and trim along the second line of the border graphic with mini scallop scissors.

7. Use your favorite glue method to adhere the embossed panel to the front of the card. I love my ATG gun.
8.Make sure you line up how much of the white you want to show. Flip card over and trim the excess from the front panel along the fold. Cut out the medallions.  Add a pop dot to the back of the medallion.

9. Place the medallion on the front border. I used it to cover the junction of the border.
Here you are a completed card. I like the pattern so well I made another set that was wide instead of tall.
