Mickey hand shaker card

I needed to make a thank you card for my Grandson's Kindergarten teacher so this is what I came up with.

I started out with a black A-2 card base folded at the top.   I used Simon says stamp bundle of stitched shapes set for the stitched rectangle that I cut in red.   I ran that through my Cuttlebug star embossing folder.  I used a stitched fishtail banner stacks die for the black-and-white polkadot which is from Pebbles - Basics.   I tied a bow around that layer with some red and white bakers twine.  I used a stitched scallop circle die to cut the black for the center.  Using my Cricut expression and an SVG file for the shaker hand I got from my friend Cheryl over at Creative Kuts.  I filled the shaker with some red seed beads.  I backed the shaker and also cut a stitched banner for the sentiment out of some yellow striped pattern paper from my scraps stash. The sentiment I created on my computer and printed and cut out  with the sew stitched fishtail banner die.   I cut some small hearts out of red foil on the Cricut expression to scatter on the front of the card.

On the inside I used my Cricut explore to write the personalized sentiment to his teacher.   I also had it write his name and the school years at the bottom and cut a small Mickey head to place next to his name.  The Mickey head is from Cricut Mickey and friends cartridge.  I cut three more red foil hearts to scatter around inside.  I used Simon says stamp bundle of stitch shapes for the white stitched rectangle.  I left plenty of room for him to personally sign his name also.

One final touch, I had my Cricut Explore Air write out her name on the envelope.
That's it for me today, thanks so much for stopping by to see my projects.

Kinder-Grad Star Wobble Easel Card

 My little man (Grandson) is graduating kindergarten tomorrow so I wanted to make him a fun interactive card to commemorate the day.   I decided to go with an easel card with an interactive action wobble.

The adorable star is from Cricut – Simply Charmed.  The graduation cap is from Cricut – Everyday Paper Dolls.   All of the stitched layers are from different die stacks.  The large stitched rectangle is from Simon Says Stamp dies - Bundle of Stitched Shapes. 

The small stitched stars are from a star die stack, as are the smaller stitched rectangles that are from a different die stack, which I used to pop up on foam tape for the inside sentiment.  The sentiments are written with the Cricut explore air using these fonts:  2019 is BauerBodni BT and everything else is AmeriGarmnd BT

Thanks so much for stopping by to see what I'm up to in my craft room.  Have a wonderful Day.

Rose Beauty Birthday Card

I am in love with this beautiful Layered Rose svg from Creative Kuts!  I really had fun putting this together!

The flower is 3 layers, two different colors of Bazzill card stock, Forget Me Not & Hyacinth card stock and then the top layer is a repeat of the darker, Forget me not color that I colored a shade darker with spectrum noir marker LV1.  The leaves I used just two layers of green Card stock plus a spectrum noir marker VB1 for some shading.
Card Base layer - Bazzill card stock, Forget Me Not color
White layer - stitched rectangle die from Simon Says Stamp dies - Bundle of Stitched Shapes
I then took one of my Curved Scallop Edge Die from Your Next Stamp
I used my Tim Holtz Distress marker spritzing tool with spectrum noir marker LV3 for the purple splats of color on white.
The Happy Birthday Stamp from Tags & Trims stamp set - HOTP stamped in Violet Ink and heat embossed with clear acrylic embossing powder.

Happy 1st Mother's Day Card

Following the sketch over at Tuesday Morning Sketches this week is how I came up with the layout for this sweet baby themed Mother's Day card for my Beautiful Niece who just recently became a Mommy.

I started with a Gravity Grape purple card base.  The cute diaper pin pattern paper is from a Momenta - Baby Paper pad.  I used my stitched rectangle from Simon Say Stamp (SSS) - Bundle of Stitched Shapes to cut that layer.

I created the sentiment with my Cricut Explore using Fontastic Fonts - DJ Terrific font written with Cricut .03 black pen onto Cricut Note Card from Ultimate Creative Sampler Cartridge, cut in pink and shadow layer in the same gravity grape purple card stock.  The fun embellishments are all from Cricut also:  Rattle - Wild Card Cartridge,  Bottle & Baby Face -  Doodlecharms Cartridge

For the baby face I cut the shadow layer instead so I could stamp my own face.  That cutie patootie face stamp is from Peachy Keen - Just Baby, using a white gel pen to enhance the eyes and baby tooth.   I used a cute scrap of pink and purple chevron pattern paper to cut her sweet hair bow from and added a pink iridescent enamel Dot to the center. 

For the inside I used more pattern paper from that same stack this time with cute little baby feet all over and cutting with that same SSS Stitched Rectangle die.  For the Sentiment Stamp I cut a label out from Spellbinders - Labels Twenty-Three and stamped the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo black ink.  I also stamped a lacy heart in pink and then went over it in purple ink.  Both of those stamps are from HOTP - Lacy Things stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by, have a wonderful rest of your weekend.  Crafty Hugs, Eva Scraps

2019 Star Grad Shaker Card

This awesome card file is an SVG from CreativeKuts.com   We have a Grandson graduating High school in a few more weeks so I needed a cool card for him.

I started with a gray card base.  The pattern paper is from DCWV - Glam Rock with foil stars, I shadowed that in black card stock.  The large shaker star is sitting on top of the card using several cutouts in white to build up for the shaker element.  I used a solid star in black card stock for the back or bottom of the shaker and a gray star frame to go over the solid acrylic star on top.  I used some mini metallic silver and gold stars and some mini gray beads inside the shaker element.  Cutting some of the stars and the 2019 out of silver glitter card stock (The Paper Studio) and the rest of the stars from black card stock.  All of the small stars are popped up on foam tape and the larger ones are adhered flat.  The sentiment banner is popped up on foam and written with Cricut pen on the Cricut Explore.

On the inside:
I really didn't have much for Graduation in my stamp collection so I used a CD from HOTP - Card Greetings & Sentiments that I edited in my Craft Artist program on my computer.  I shadowed that with black card stock cut with a Stitched Rectangle from SSS - Bundle of Stitched Shapes.

Flower Edge Birthday Card

This card was inspired by a design I saw on Pinterest ..... Blog - Paper Therapy

I loved how the evacuated flower piece is flipped around to complete the flower.  For my card I cut the pattern paper down to 5 1/2" X 2 1/2" I then took my SSS Straight stitched edge die from Simon Says Stamp - Bundle of Stitched Shapes Die set and butted it up against the edge on either side to create the stitching.  For the flowers I used Stitched Daisies Wafer dies - Simon Says Stamp.  Using both styles for the smallest daisy .... the cutout flower plus the stitched edge outline on the pattern paper piece.  I used the flower center die, cutting in black card stock and then adding clear wink of stella for a beautiful sparkle in the flower centers.  I used black cardstock for the Happy Birthday word die but cut them apart to change placement.  The pattern paper is from Pink & Main - Beach Babe.  A really simple but striking birthday card for my stash box of cards.  Thanks so much for stopping by to see what I am up to in my Craft room this week.  You can expect to see a bunch of cute shaker cards coming up soon.  Crafty Hugs, Eva Scraps

Today I am sharing a fun and easy Mother's Day card, But you could easily leave off the Mom and make it for any occasion.  This Svg file is from Creative Kuts.

Inside I simply stamped Happy Mother's Day in Dusk Blue Ink, Stamp is from

Birthday Donut Card

Another fun birthday card. The SVG is from Creative Kuts     I used glossy accents for the top layers on the donuts, that really gave this card the perfect touch in my opinion.

For the inside words I printed and then cut. I didn't get it lined up inside exactly perfect but it came out close enough.  For the sentiment on the front I used my Cricut explore and black pen, then colored in with same pen.

Butterfly Birthday Girl Card

So glad to be back, I've been sick since Easter.   I thought I would make a very simple card today as to not overdo it and make myself feel worse.

I followed this weeks sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches for the card layout.  I cut and layered up the center banner section first From MFT - Stitched Fishtail Flag Stax  Banner.  I ran the top white layer through my cuttlebug Argyle embossing folder before adhering the two together.  I laid it flat on my card and held in place as I butted the beautiful border die cuts up against it on either side and glued them down.  They are from Spellbinders Shapeabilities D-Lites Die - Flourish Trim.  Once I had those adhered in place I took the center banner section and popped it up with foam tape.  I really had to search my stamp stash to find something to fit on that tiny teal wavy banner from Madison Avenue - Mama Elephant that I shadowed in purple.  I found one to work perfectly to stamp Birthday in Memento Tuxedo black ink and then heat embossed with clear acrylic Embossing powder.   That awesome Birthday word stamp is from YNS Cupcake Day Stamp Set, as well as the word girl that I stamped in the bottom right corner just in black.

Butterfly Close-up

Wow I can't believe this is the first time I've used this beautiful layering butterfly stamp from HOTP Layering Butterflies Stamp set.  Since I decided to stamp directly onto matching colored card stock I skipped the bottom stamp layer number one and just went with the top two layers.  WOW!  So very pretty!   I stamped layer number two in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and layer number three with a deep Violet purple ink.  Then I simply added some clear wink of Stella in all of the areas that stamped purple, I wish you could see that in the photo.  I will definitely be using this stamp set more often... so beautiful and easy to mass produce.  I added some pretty purple Dew Drops from the Robin's Nest to finish this simple and easy card off.  Thanks so much for stopping by, glad to be crafting again and I hope to work on another card tomorrow.

Bunny Stencil card

I went way out of the box for this one for me but had fun using Stempel 3D glitter paint with a stencil to create the background of this cute bunny card.  hmmmm I may come back and add some fancy eggs.  I tried to get it done in time for the Stencil your background over at Mod Squad Challenge but barely missed the deadline.  I had fun anyway and they got me to try something new and pull out a stencil pack (coastal village stencils - Recollections) I never even opened before today.  I used
Simon Says Stamp dies - Bundle of Stitched Shapes for the Large rectangle Background stenciled layer.

I used a couple Pierced Flowers to mat the Bunny from a Pierced Flower die stack.  

The Bunny is from a stamp and die set -  Bunny Rabbits Stamp & Die.  

I colored him with Spectrum Noir Markers - IG1, IG2 PP1

A Little Birdie Card

I enjoyed making this background with a tiny heart stencil and my new Gel Press.

I used the stitched rectangle from Simon Says Stamp dies - Bundle of Stitched Shapes and backed with teal card stock for the background panel I created with my stencil - Tiny Spaced Hearts - SSS.
I used a stitched label die for the sentiment and backed with teal card stock.
I stamped & heat embossed the sentiment which is from my newest Cardz TV stamp set - For the Birds. 
The Bird is from Birds & Bugs Stamp set, I stamped on a light blue card stock then cut it out and went over the birdie with spectrum noir markers... I used Cyan, BT1, BT2 & True Black for eye and feet.
I also stamped and heat embossed music notes directly onto background for the birdie to sing.

On the inside I used the stitched rectangle from Simon Says Stamp dies - Bundle of Stitched Shapes again this time inking the edges in the same ink I used for stamping to simulate the teal shadow layer from the front without bulking the inside up more.
The littlest Birds sentiment is from Spring Sentiments stamp set.
Happy Birthday Stamp is from Craftin Desert Divas Happy Celebrations Stamp Set.
I also stamped another smaller bird, once directly onto the inside sentiment panel and another that I colored and cut out to paste directly over it.... that is from the same Birds & Bugs Stamp set.

Floral Purse shaped card

I love love love this adorable card style coming soon to Creative Kuts

I used this beautiful pattern paper from couture creations 6x6 paper pad called Vintage Rose Garden
This card was so easy to put together, the handle was a little bit fiddly to insert... but so worth it!
I love how this card stands and presents.  So for the metal looking links in the handle strap I cut 3 for each side out of  black cardstock and adhered together then I cut some out of  silver paper to give the silver metal look and adhered.  I cut the handle/strap twice also and adhered together.  I feel like these extra steps really helped to keep the handle standing tall, which I love.
I found a pink button in my stash and tied some green and white twine into a bow through it.

I wasn't quite satisfied so I found a stitched circle die just a bit bigger than the button and cut a piece of black card stack with the silver paper adhered to it.... perfect!  I used glue dots to adhere them together and to adhere to the front of the purse.  This added just the right touch I was looking for to bring some more silver into the project and made my button really pop a fancy new look.  I stamped and die-cut a flower and leaves from some of the same pattern papers.  I heat embossed the flower in pink then I used my spectrum Noir markers to dress them up a bit, I also curled and pinched the flower edges to add some dimension.  I used foam tape to pop the flower with leaves up and placed it in a spot to also act as a closure to keep the card flap in place when closed and standing.  What a cute card to display on the desk or mantle of the recipient.

On the inside I used more of the beautiful paper from the same paper stack.
I stamped Happy Mother's Day in Momento Tuxedo black ink, stamp is from Happy Celebrations - Craftin Desert Divas and then heat embossed with clear acrylic embossing powder.  I almost added another die cut dimensional flower to the inside sentiment panel, but this time I wanted it to fold flat to fit in an envelope so I stamped some of the same flowers of different sizes directly onto the inside panels.  I left the bottom panel very open for writing and signing.  To finish it off I added these lovely green glitter gumdrops from YNS to the center of each flower I love how this little addition really added so much to this project!

Recessed split panel card

I had fun with this card.... I want to try it again soon but next time with a pattern piece of acetate for the opening.

I picked out the pattern paper (Alice 6X6 Stack) first and then just found some coordinating pastel card stock colors.  I used a die set to cut and dry-emboss the leaves.  I stamped and heat embossed the flower and the Happy Birthday to you in purple...  they are both from HOTP Flower frenzy stamp set.

On the inside I used a stitched rectangle die to add a sentiment onto.  That stamp is from HOTP - Lacy Things.  The flower stamp is another from HOTP flower frenzy stamp set.

Masculine Compass Birthday Card

I needed a masculine birthday card that holds a gift card inside.  I decided to go with the new sketch over at Tuesday Morning Sketches.  Keeping it very simple I picked some masculine papers from HOTP Boys to Men Paper Pad, pairing both of those pattern papers with some tan and blue card stock.

I used a stitched rectangle die to cut the plaid paper and backed it with a blue shadow layer.
I cut an oval for the sentiment stamp from tan and backed in blue, cut with a stitched scallop oval die.
I cut a circle from the second pattern paper and backed it with that hand stitched circle I cut with a die.  Both of the compass and happy birthday sentiments were stamped in black and then heat embossed with clear acrylic embossing powder.  Both of these stamps are from HOTP For the Guys

On the inside I cut some more of the pattern papers using a stitched Triangle die set  I also made a triangle pocket for those patterned papers to cover.  I used another rectangle die set, this time with a pierced edge rectangle die for the sentiment block. Both of these stamps are from HOTP Celebration Cardmaker stamp set.  The first stamped in black and the second stamped in blue Ink.

I placed a white scrap paper inside the pocket where the gift card will go when I get it.

Owl S Card

Oh my goodness what tiny little pieces this owl die has, but I really love the super cute outcome.

This is a very simple card technique by taking a regular A2 sized card and then scoring the front part of the card down the center and folding it back to create the S fold.  

 I simply used a Die-Namics scalloped stitched circle frame die and adhered only half of the circle on the left-hand side to the card and I did the same with the sentiment stitched oval.  I placed a pattern paper circle in the center of the scalloped circle and then added the cute tiny owl on a branch die cut.
I cut the leaves with a different leaf vine die that also embossed textures.   I snipped a few of the leaf sections and placed them behind the limb.   The background is stamped with stampin up wood grain stamp  and die cut with the stitched rectangle from Simon says stamp bundle of stitched shapes.  I cut and stamped two panels, I used a full  stitched rectangle inside. I simply cut the other in half for the front.

On the inside I duplicated the same circle from the front but this time stamping a sentiment.  I lined it up directly behind the front scalloped circle so you cannot see it when the card is closed.  I cut another half panel to go inside the front fold in the pretty green color.  All of the stamping is stamped in brown and heat embossed.  The cute owl in a birdhouse stamp and the especially for yoo hoo sentiment stamp are from Owl & Butterflies Stamp set.  Happy birthday to you stamp is from HOTP - Flower Frenzy Stamp Set.

Floral Sketch card

As soon as I saw the sketch over at Tuesday morning sketches the other day I knew that this was the card I wanted to make.  The design team had some great inspirational pieces over there.  Once I got the background and base layers done I realized this would be really pretty with seashells and swirls also but I already had my heart set on this floral stamp.  I am very pleased how it turned out.

The pattern papers for the background is from ms. sparkle & co. - Wood Grain... I just love that whitewashed wood look.
The floral stamp and sentiment are from HOTP -  Simply Susan stamp set
I stamped the sentiment in purple and I heat Embossed the floral stamp in black.
I colored with spectrum noir markers - Purple Bloom, petunia, fresh citrus, AB3, LV1
I decided to keep this one simple but I wanted to give it some extra touches so I dug out some of my sparkly gumdrops from YNS (Your Next Stamp)
Black for the flower centers and I decided to add two blue to the leaf swirl but I darkened the color just a little bit with my spectrum noir marker AB3 to match it a little closer.

Bunny Hole Easter Card

What a fun Easter/Spring gate fold card.  It makes me happy just to sit here and look at it.  😊

This awesome card design is from CreativeKuts.com.  I used a pre-embossed Robins blue spots card stock for the base.  For the gate/fence looking background panels I used my stampin up wood grain background stamp in brown ink onto a Kraft card stock on all 3 panels.... two on the front and the large pretty cut one on the inside.  I layered up the green vines with little pink flowers and topped each flower with a tiny dot of yellow dimensional paint in the centers.  The little layered up bunny butt is just so cute and hard to see it in the photo but the tail has white flocking on it.

On the inside there is another layered bunny, this time a front view and holding a cute decorated Easter egg.  Pattern paper for the egg is from photo play - party girl.  I used a stitched label stax dies to add a fun spring sentiment stamped in pink.

Slytherin HP Banner

Needed to make a Birthday Banner with a Harry Potter Slytherin Theme, this is what I came up with.

Using Cricut Design Space
both styles of Banner Panels are from Cricut - Birthday Bash Cartridge
I used Dark Green Card stock for back panels, I used a cream color card stock for the front layers... as close to a parchment paper color I could find.  I cut the letters out of the front panels to have the Green show through.
Text Font - Parry Hotter
Slytherin Shields - Print and cut feature that I added a black shadow layer behind and popped these 4 up with foam tape.
Used a cream color sheer Ribbon to thread through panels to create the 3 layered Banner for Lizzi.

Stitched scallop oval die for the sentiment,  Silver foil paper shadow layer (SNC)
Cheery Lynn mini fanciful flourish die-cut from toner sheet & foiled with silver rainbow foil.
I cut the flourish in half and used both pieces.
Sentiment with the same foiling.  I added a small clear rhinestone for the diamond ring on sentiment and added two more larger rhinestones on 2 corners of the mat.
The main mat/panel is popped up with foam tape and so is the top flower.

On the inside I used the same foiling and technique on everything.  I wish you could read it better.  It says:  "May your life together be full of Love and your love be full of Life"

I used my envelope (123) punchboard to make a coordinating envelope out of some pattern paper that I thought matched with the burgundy nicely. It is from The Paper Studio stack (I love this stack very much!!!) called The Classics.

For the front of the envelope I used some of my stitched shaped label dies to cut coordinating burgundy and pattern paper panels and then used the same foiling for their names and interlinked hearts.  It is hard to see the foiling on the names in this pic sorry.
