Ice Cream Cone Birthday Card

I'm finally getting around to posting some cards I made the past few months. Here's a really cute ice cream cone birthday card I made for my 4 yr old niece back in December. This is one of the first cards I made using my new Cameo machine that I LOVE more then my cricut. The ice cream cone is an SVG file I found on google images.

Ventral Hernia Surgery repair

I haven't been posting anything lately and haven't had much time to play with my new Cameo! On Thursday the 12th I had surgery. I had a large ventral hernia and a small hernia that needed to be repaired. The surgeon had to do it open, so I'm in a lot more pain then if they were to do it laproscopically. I'm just glad it's all over and I am at home recovering. Is very thankful for sick time and a very supportive husband. I hope to be back to normal in about a month or so. Although, it might be interesting to see how creative I can be with all this pain medicine I'm on...LOL!

2 posts in one day...

Finally getting around to posting my Christmas cards. Here's a picture of all 38 cards...I couldn't even tell you how long it took to make...LOL! I did change it a bit and added a white
snowflake instead of the flower.
The last couple of year's I've been inspired by all the cards they make at the Archiver's store here in Austin. Here's the one my husband and I picked to make this year...I just loved all the embossing!

Here's the link for the instruction's and supplies.

Action Wobble Birthday Card

It's been awhile since I've posted anything...I guess life and the holiday's got in the way. I made this card for my Grandmother-in-law's birthday back in December. I used very fun action wobbles on the presents and I was inspired by some cards I saw on splitcoaststampers. Here is my take on it...

By the way, Happy New Year!! Still hard to believe that it's 2012!

Supplies: Vagabond, Stampin Up! Cardstock, Stampin Up! Ink, decorative paper, ribbon, sizzix sizlit gift die, My Pink Stamper stamps, pearls, and stickles.

Thanksgiving Wreath

Here's my take on the rosette/lollie wreath from the Stampin Up! Holiday mini catalog. I used some cardboard I had sitting around in my craft room and a plate from the kitchen to make the base of the wreath. It was easy to cut the pieces out with an xacto knife and then I wrapped some SU! ribbon around to adhere the rosettes/lollie's to. All current Stampin Up! products used. To make the leaves I used a Tim Holtz sizzix die and distressed inks.

Flower birthday cards

Inspired by cards I saw on Hero Arts website. I added my own touches to them. Simple and elegant!

Supplies: Hero Arts Stamp, Stampin Up! Ink, Copic Markers, Stampin Up! DSP & Cardstock, Bazzill Kraft Paper, Stampin Up! ribbon, Sizzix Traditional Tag die, Tim Holtz pins, pearls, and scallop paper punch...
