Thank You Card With Stick Pins

My favorite designer, Meg Mullens has a beautiful, beautiful kit coming out this Saturday (4/14) at Sweet Shoppe Designs called Simple Pleasures and I used it to create this card that I am just in love with!

Thank You Card - Rainbow

The amazing Meghan Mullens has done it again!  She has inspired me to make a really cute (in my opinion) card!  I made it with her new kit that is coming out April 7th called Oh So Happy.

I used one of her amazing papers to create the glittered starburst.  I also used my Silhouette SD to cut out the alpha that spells "Thanks."

It was a lot of fun to make!  Thanks for stopping by!

Mother's Day Cards {hybrid}

This is no joke - I made these cards in no more than 20 minutes, if that!  Of course, my Silhouette SD was the main reason why.  I found this card in their online shop and knew exactly what I wanted to do with it!

After I cut out the shape with my machine, I printed off the paper I wanted to use on the inside of the card - one from Meghan Mullens' "You Make Me" digital kit and adhered it.  I used a transparency sheet on the inside front of the card to add some strength and interest.  Finally, I added some ribbon and there ya have it!

Awesome Birthday Card {hybrid}

I came across the card on the left on the Paper Crafts Magazine blog and I just loved the way the "awesome" was popped off the card.  It had such great dimension to it.

I knew I could try something similar with my Silhouette SD, it was just a matter of having the perfect alpha and the time to put it all together.  Meg Mullens has a new alpha coming out tomorrow called "Burlap Alpha" and it was perfect for this.  I used some papers from her "Alphabet Collection: B is For... " and A Mom's Heart."

Thanks for stopping by!

Flower Card {hybrid} SSSC112

I really love the colors on this card!  The papers are all digital and were printed off from the newest collab from Meghan Mullens and Traci Reed called Eco-Mama coming out tomorrow at Sweet Shoppe Designs.  I used the Sweet Sunday Sketch 112.  It's a little hard to see but I used my Silhouette SD to cut out the frame, the pennants, and the flower.

Bottle Cap Wall Art - Hybrid Style

My sister Kristen is going to be having a girl in May.  The little one will be the first girl grand baby in our family and I am really excited to have her join her brother and three cousins.  Kristen is decorating the nursery in greens, pinks, and whites.  As soon as I saw this post on the Maya Road Design Team blog, I knew I had to do something like this, but for a girl.

I used Meghan Mullens' "She's a Hoot" kit available at Sweet Shoppe Designs and (3) Super Mega Bottle Caps 3" size by Maya Road.  I have to thank my local scrapbook store for ordering them for me: Scrapbooks Galore and More.  I used my Silhouette SD to cut out all the circles, the owl, and the rosettes.

Paper Rosette Cards {hybrid}

I have a new love.....paper rosettes!  I can honestly say I've never made one before.  I've seen them all over the place but never tried one myself until last night!

I used the latest release from Shawna Clingerman - Pretty Little Thing and Paper Rosettes from The Cutting Files.  I cut them with my Silhouette SD, of course!  After the machine cut them out, I scored each mark and then folded them.  I glued them together with hot glue and let them set.  Then I cut out a scalloped circle from a printed piece of Shawna's kit and adhered to the rosette.  I embellished each rosette a little differently - with buttons and pearls and then added some ribbon underneath.

Hello Sun Card {hybrid}

This card is another take on the Mojo Monday Sketch 182.  I used a kit that is coming out tomorrow at Sweet Shoppe from Meghan Mullens called Soak Up the Sun.  It's so bright and fun!

Happy Birthday Banner Card {hybrid}

I really liked the Mojo Monday sketch this week and just had to play along of course!

I used Meghan Mullens' and Kristin Cronin-Barrow's A Wonderful World kit.  The kit does nothing but make me happy every time I see it!  I also used my Silhouette SD to cut out the scalloped circle and the other that says "happy birthday" on it.

I raised up the banner with some adhesive foam.  Gotta love that stuff!

As always, thanks for looking!

Welcome Baby Girl Card {hybrid} Take 2!

Two baby girl cards in one day!  Everyone I know is having baby girls.  What is up with that?!  Don't they know that boys rule?  LOL, just kidding.  I would love to have a little pink bundle....but the arrival of my niece in May will have to do.  No more babies for me.

I decided to play along with the CPS sketch this week.  This is what I came up with:

Welcome Baby Girl Card {hybrid}

As soon as I saw the new Sweet Sunday Sketch 108, I knew exactly what I was going to do with it.

I used Meghan Mullens' "She's a Hoot" kit, as I just love the brown, pink, and green together.  And that cute little girl is the latest digital stamp from Torta Gialla that I colored digitally in PSE7.  (Be on the lookout for a blog post about her at Me So Scrappy in a few days!)

Here are some close-ups of the little girl stamp that I cut out with my Silhouette SD machine.  Just look at the detail on her little hair curl!!!  Amazing, isn't it?!

Thanks for looking!  

Smile Card {hybrid}

The Mojo Monday Blog has a new sketch out for this week - Sketch 181.

 I used Jennifer Fox's 'She's My Sister' on this card and I love how it turned out.  I even added in some hand-stitching.  I love when I have the time to add that in!  The scalloped circle was cut out with my Silhouette SD.

Thanks for looking!

Flower Card

I came upon the weekly sketch section at Splitcoast Stampers the other day and I just had to take part in it; Sketch Challenge 321 which featured a blocked design.

Here's my take on it:

As you can see, I took one of the elements from Meghan Mullens' newest kit that comes out tomorrow and used my Silhouette SD on it; it cut out beautifully!  I simply cannot imagine crafting without that machine anymore.
