Keeping it simple for Father's Day

I'm not really thrilled about making cards for guys but this time I think I kept it simple enough and got it right. I hope my hubby and our dad's will too!! When I'm making cards for guys I keep it to 2 or 3 colors and avoid the urge to use flowers and glitter and believe me that's really hard. So with a simple saying made with my cricut, some stripped paper for a foe ribbon and a few buttons I hope this will get my Father's Day wishes across.

For the second day of the hop I decided to change the theme of the card to something soft and since I have a first birthday in the family I decided to combine the two. I used a clear blue plastic overlay paper for the card base and my favorite cricut cart Create a Critter for the sweet little lamb. The cloud and the lamb appear to float on the card as you open it to read the message. I hope my little neice Izzy and her mommy will like it. Make sure to leave a comment for all the talented designers.....we love to hear how our creations inspire you!! Now off to Kerry's Blog for some more hopping and inspiration. Have a Great day!!!!

So here is my vision of the sketch. I decided to make the entire card from parts and pieces I had let over from other projecs. I used my cricut imagine to make the two ovals in the center and the rest just fell together. I started with the red butterfly i found in my desk and the designed blossemed from there. Make sure to leave all of the talented designers a comment......we love to here how our designs have inspired you!! Happy Hopping......now off to Kerry's Blog for you.

Playing with colors today

I have often thought what certain colors would look like together so I decided to give some color combos a try. First up is orange and brown in a birthday card. I think I would be great for any guy on my list without being overly manly. I rather like the way it came out and super easy to make in mass if I need to.

Another birthday card for the stash

Super cute happy fun card good to give to someone of any age. I love how quick everything is now with my imagine. Some ribbon and a few gems and it's all done.

Just the two of us

What a cute little card to let someone you love know just how you feel about them. I found the perfect cup image on the Ultimate creative series cart and used my imagine and the elise pattern cart for the coloring.  The saying on the card is a bit hard to see in this picture but says "just the two of us". I think it will be the perfect card for my hubby on our anniversary.

No more waste here

Ok so sometimes I manage to make cuts the wrong size and I hate to waste anything. I decided to put those wrong cuts to good use. Gift tags is my answer. I am always looking for a gift tag but never seem to have one on hand. So two problems have been solved. I guess I could just measure but what would be the fun in that. This new idea of mine also helps me use the left over paper I have from making one of my regular size cards. So here are the first two helpful mistakes....
