Masculine Valentine's card ~ Cricut Doodlecharms

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today I have a Valentine's card to share that I made for my teenage son. I wanted it to look more masculine than my typical valentine cards. When I found the goldish brown heart paper in one of my stacks I was so excited!! All of my other heart papers are very girly and although I love them and can't wait to use them they were a no go for this card. I had almost said for get it, I won't use hearts on his card, when I found this heart paper. YAY!! 

I am entering this card into the following challenges.

Happy Sunday everyone.

Today's card is one I made a couple of weeks ago and thought I'd posted but yesterday while looking through my blog to show a post to my sister I realized I hadn't actually posted it so here it is today. :)

I kept this card pretty simple and easy.

I cut the spider from the "Doodlecharms" cartridge and coated it in glossy accents. The spider web punch is from Martha Stewart and the sentiment is from Scrappy Moms stamps "A Haunting We Will Go" and embossed with silver. Last but not least, the twine is from the Twinery.

I hope you enjoyed my card and have a great day. :)

Ladybug Scrapbook Pages

Hello and welcome!! Today is our first Whimsical Wednesday Challenge. We will be having these challenges every week with each challenge staying open for two weeks!! You will love the themes they are so fun, and a scrap booking challenge the first Wednesday of the month.

for this weeks challenge the theme is:

"Spring or Easter Layout with a critter or insect incorporated on the LO."

For this LO I used glitter card stock to cut the title at 1.25 in using the "Ashlynn's Alphabet" cartridge. The leaves were cut from the "Don Juan" cartridge at 2.5 in and the ladybug was cut from the "Doodlecharms" cartridge (but I forgot to write down the size.)

The lady bug I used for the journaling tag was also cut from the "Paisley" cartridge.

It was cut on RDS at 3.75in for the black layer, 2.5in for the red layer and the white layer was cut by hand at 2.25in (I couldn't get my center point to cut this layer out right.)

The polka dot flower is from Doodle Bug Designs.

The extras on this 2 page LO are: white gel pen, green gel pen, ribbon, stickers, and black Stickles on the ladybug and title.

I hope you get a chance to play along. To take a peek at the fabulous layouts the other DT team members have come up with swing on over to the

Halloween Blog Hop- Day 2 ~*~ Spinner Card

Thanks for coming back to Day 2 of the Halloween Blog Hop.

Today I decided to create my very first Spinner card. I had so much fun making this card and my 3-year-old daughter thinks it's the coolest card she's ever seen! She laughs every time the little pumpkin spins across it. :)

This card is a business sized card. I cut the pumpkin from the Doodlecharms Cartridge at 3in. The face is stamped using Peachy Keens Monsters 'n More face stamps (they are retired.) The sentiment is "The Smallest Pumpkins Have The Biggest Grins" from Scrappy Moms stamps and heat embossed with white.

I hope you enjoy the card and have a great day!!

Don't forget to leave a comment to be entered to win the candy. :)

Momo's Tuesday Challenge ~ Lady Bug Card

I made this card for the challenge going on over at Momo's. For this challenge you just had to use the colors black, white, and one other color.

The ladybugs are from the DoodleCharms cartridge cut at 2in. The sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Stamps.

(This is the inside of the card.)

The border is cut using my Threading Water punch. I punched both sides of a thin scrap piece. I meant to line the holes up and only have one hole but clearly I was off a little. I liked how it looked but then I added stickles to it there by ruining it. (oh well, I'll still use it.)

Hope you all are having a great Tuesday!

Throwback Thursday Challenge - Baby Card

This card was made for Emma's Challenge at My Creative Time. The cartridge requested by Emma was "New Arrival." I do not have this cartridge so I used my oldest cartridge with a baby theme, Doodlecharms, for the images. For the words I used the cartridge, All Mixed Up. Finally, for the face I used my Peachy Keen Princess Face Assortment stamps.

I learned how to make this card from Mary at Cardztv. She has a video which explains in great detail how to make a trifold card like this. For the baby bottle I cut it out at 1.5 inches. The teddy bear was cut at 2.5 inches. The baby face was cut at 2.5 inches as well. I then added faux stitching, buttons, and Stickles to add pizazz to the card.
