Video Game Controller Shaped Card

I purchased the video game controller from the Silhouette design studio library for .99 cents. I imported the file and then welded two controllers together. This is what you're seeing in this picture. 
I then ungrouped one of the controllers and deleted all the buttons. For some reason it won't let me flip the controller to get the buttons on the right side. Doing that gives you this fabulous fun card for any gamer!
Here's the finished product!   
Here's a better shot! I saw this somewhere on splitcoaststampers and I just new I could make my own! I really hope that my nephew likes it! Thanks for looking!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter Card!




  • Here's another Easter card I made. I followed another card sketch I found on the Peachy Keen challenge blog site. They really help me get started in a design. For this card I paper pieced a sleepy bunny I bought from myscrapchick.com. I uploaded the file to my computer and imported it to my SCAL program. It didn't take very long to piece together and it's super cute! I'm really loving the Silhouette Cameo over the Cricut Expression. It cuts awesome and I have a lot more options!

Supplies Used: white shimmery cardtstock, Reminisce Easter paper (from last year), bazzill swiss dot card stock, gems, twine, bazzill card stock, stickles, My Pink Stamper, swiss dot cuttlebug embossing folder, sizzix big kick, atg gun, foam dots, SCAL, Silhouette Cameo, corner rounder punch, and paper trimmer. 

Blessings at Easter!


  • I made this at the beginning of the month for Easter. I followed a card sketch I saw on Peachy Keen stamps challenge blog to get me started (I wasn't able to send it in for the challenge as it was past the deadline.) 


Supplies Used:  Bazzill swiss dot cardstock, Reminisce Easter Paper (from last year), white shimmery card stock, nestabilities, sizzix vagabond, gems, SU! basic black ink, copic markers, Peachy Keen easter stamps, My Pink Stamper, atg gun, foam dots, and paper trimmer.

Our new Dog!

In case you haven't figured it out we got a new dog! Back in September we rescued a very sweet sheltie from the Austin Sheltie Rescue Group! He's about 2 yrs old and we named him Wrigley (after my favorite baseball stadium). He is full of energy and a lot fun! Here's a picture.

Sheltie Valentine's Day Card

I was searching all over the places for a Sheltie SVG file and finally found one on goole images. I cut the image out for times to get the layers just right. I also used a free SVG file for the heart and embossed it with one of my new Valentine cuttlebug bug folders. How did I do?
