Robot Card

Boy cards can be a little tough to come up with-for me anyway! No ribbons, ruffles, or lacy punches. that's why I love any cartridge that has boy images. All Wrapped Up had this great robot die cut that goes great with this robot paper! There are four layers that goes together real easy, even for a klutz like me.

I popped it with foam tape so it really stands out. Easy card with a lot of wow. Diana

Braided Head Band

I have been meaning to try my hand at the cute braided head bands seen in boutiques and craft fairs. It did take a few false starts but eventually a pattern did emerge! Because it is cloudy outside it is difficult to see that the colors of the ribbons are white and red. I will definitely be trying a few more combinations as soon as I get more ribbon. The total cost was about $2.oo and the supplies can be obtained HERE . They also have instructional videos available on utube! This goes fairly quick once you get the pattern down and is something you could do watching TV in the evening! Diana

Sweet Treat

Sorry for the fuzzy pics lately. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Hope you can see how sweet this candy bar wrapper is. The butter fly is from the Serenade cartridge for Cricut.

As you can see in this pic, the butterfly is dimensional. I used some floral stamen for the antennae. The young lady who received this seemed so happy with the extra effort I put into it. Diana

Owl Scissor Holder For Teacher

My grandson needed a gift for his teacher who loves to sew and this is what my daughter asked me to make for her. Done on my embroidery machine, it is easier than it looks. I used blue, yellow and pink fabric, thread and scissors. The pattern is available here. Diana

Pee Pee Tee Pee

Now that's a title that should grab your attention! You all probably know what these are for but if you don't check out this tutorial here. I think they are the funniest things I have ever seen. I made them in green and blue and added a simple ribbon tag to make them easier to grab. Just throw them in the washer and dryer and they are as good as new. No mess, no worries.

This pic makes them look more like something else entirely.......ahem. Diana

vintage Bird Cage Card

sometimes a card just designs itself. That was the case with this little gem. I went in with no idea how this one was going to turn out. I just kept pulling out punches and die cuts until it just "felt" right. Diana

Butterfly Kisses

This card is for a sweet little girl and had to match her sunny personality.

The butterflies are attached at their bodies only with glue dots. This way their wings are free to flutter. Diana
