Maine Birthdays!

 

I had to use once again Graphic 45's Ocean Blue for my sister's birthday since we were born and raised in the great State of Maine. Graphic 45's Ocean Blue is the perfect statement for a birthday in the summer in Maine!  I'm not sure what this style card is called but it is sort of an accordian card since there is multiple folds in this card.

Having fun getting ready for another craft day in November doing a shelft sitter. Love this fall themed shelf sitter using a napkin which is so pretty! Hope you love it! 

Craft Day!

 I took a break from cardmaking to make these button bouquets. We had Craft day last week with my sisters and a friend and made these button bouquets. I have so many buttons this is a great craft. Love the different bouquets that we all made! It is always fun finding a new craft that we all can do together.

Another fun craft that my sisters and I are doing is shelf sitters. I made this one this week with an autumn theme. It measures 8x8 and I used a napkin for the design. There are lots of ideas on Pinterest. 

August Celebrations!

 With the use of my Cricut I made this birthday card for a friend who loves to golf! I thought this pop out card was a perfect style to show this! The golf cart and golf bag was cut out from my Cricut.  It folds to a 5x7 card and it is easily mailed. 

I made the same style card for another friend who has a Miata and we have a convertible BMW so we take rides together. This car is also from my Cricut.  There is plenty of room on the back for the sentiment.

Lastly, a pillar birthday card for a high school friend. I used Graphic 45 paper collection called Ocean Blue.  This collection has to be one of my favorites and love using it for friends and relatives who love the ocean/beach.  Thank you for stopping by.

Hexagon Birthday Card

 This hexagon shaped card is for my sister's birthday which happened to be yesterday so I can post this now. Graphic 45 Bee paper collection is adorable for a summer birthday. Easy to do! Sentiment is on the back using Spellbinders nesting dies. 

If you have shoe boxes, you should keep them. They come in handy to decorate for all different occasions. This one I decorated for a baby shower to put suggestions for baby names for the mom-to-be! She knows that she is having girls so I used pink! The theme for the baby shower was "Two Scoops are better than One" 

Birthday, Birthday and Babies!

 

I am not sure what this style card is called but how about an accordion with panel card. This is for my cousin who has a birthday next week and works with marine life. She has hit a big milestone of 50! The Graphic 45 paper collection is so beautiful that any birthday card would come out amazing.  The little seal is from my cricut. 

My second birthday card I used a die that I have had forever and I think it is from Dynamics but I am not sure. I colored the fish and seagrass with copic markers. Happy birthday. Hallie!

My third card is for a friend's daughter in law who is having TWINS! She is having twin girls. I used a stampin up baby set. The paper collection is from Echo Park. What a blessing for their little family!

Anniversary & Babies!

This double Z fold was easy to make. It is always fun to find a way to decorate for the special occasion and in this case it was for an Anniversary. I used a Stampin up stamp set with the coordinating dies.  

This is a gatefold card for a friend's son and his wife who are having twins in October! They found out recently that they are girls. Love working with pink! Echo park paper collection worked out perfect for this baby card. They really had some cute stickers! Thanks for stopping by!

 

A Runner's Card

 I love making a card when I know what theme I can use. This is a Z-fold card for my daughter's friend who ran in a 1/2 marathon a couple of weeks ago with her. They both did great! My cricut sure came in handy for the runner and the "Finish Line" images. This is a quick post to showcase this card. Happy Birthday Jess!  

Easy to fold and mail

Plenty of room for the sentiment
