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.

Cake card ~ Cricut Everyday Paper Dolls Cartridge

Hello crafty friends,

Today I have made a simple masculine Birthday card. I don't know about you, but I have a really hard time making cards for men! Because its so hard for me I always feel super excited when I finally have one come out exactly as I envisioned. This is one of those cards, Lol.

For this card I used the Cricut Everyday Paper Dolls cartridge. I LOVE this cartridge! This cartridge was one of the very first I got when I got my Cricut 7 years ago. It has so many little cuts that can be used on tons of things, but I tend to over look them and only use the dolls. :( But, not today! 

The cut is one layer that I cut out out 2 times, one in brown, and one in white at 2.2 W x 1.7 H. I cut the Frosting and the cake stand off the white cake and added  cream pearl pen to the frosting and silver pen to the base to make the cake pop. The candle was cut by hand from scraps and the flame was colored with glitter marker.

I am entering my card into the Die Cuttin Divas #250 yum! Chocolate Cake Day

I hope you enjoyed my card and have a great day!!

Card recipe:

Card Size: A2 4.25 x 5.5

Cricut Cartridge: Everyday Paper Dolls, Cake pg 73 cut 2.2 x 1.7 (candle was cut by hand)

Papers: DCWV Christmas & Winter(Blue mat and band), DCWV The Guy Stack (Plaid Papers)

Embossing: Cuttlebug Happy Birthday

Extras: Martha Stewart  glitter marker, Recollection Silver pen, Viva Pearl Pen in Cream

Video Game Birthday Card

My little brother had his birthday on Wednesday and I was having the hardest time coming up with a manly-ish birthday card for him so I started looking through some of the digital stamps I had and came across this one. I for the life of me can't remembers where it came from (I tried looking online for it again so I could give credit were credit is due but was unable to find it.). So if anyone knows where this digi came from, please let my know.

The papers came from DCWV's Dots, Stripes, and Plaids stack. The image was colored with my Prisma pencils.

Here is the inside of the card.

I hope you enjoyed and have a great holiday weekend. :)

Hope your Birthday is a Blast Rocket card

I made this card for 2 challenges.

1. Emma's Throwback Thursday ~Lite cartridge w/bling

2. Cricket Cricut Creations ~ Birthday card

My card inspiration today came from a baby blanket my mom made for my son Lucas. The background paper looks just like the pattern on the fabric. I love when I get inspired by the things that are around the house. :)

I cut the rocket and green mat from the Cricut Lite "B is for Boy" cartridge. I added Stickles for bling to the white parts, stars, and flames.

The sentiment was printed from my computer and punched with a Stampin' Up XL word window punch and inked in red.

I hope you enjoy and have a great day. :)

Jen - www.purplescrapbooker.com

Now on to the hop.

First, I want to thank Jen for asking me to be apart of her Birthday celebration.

This hop has been so much fun to prepare for. For this hop we were asked to do anything birthday themed. My oldest is turning 10 on the 23rd and has requested a Batman themed birthday this year so I though I'd try my hand at my very first banner.

For the banner I used my Batman: The Brave and the Bold cartridge.

(Here is a close up)

My son wanted both pieces to be embossed and he chose the "Diamond Plate" CB folder for the bat shapes and CB "Tiny Mosaic" folder for the letters. We also used silver ink to go over the diamond plate texture.

I also made him a card to go with his gift. (He really loves cards and actually saves them on his book shelf.)

Now for the candy: I'll be mailing out a $10.00 gift card from Michael's. You do not have to be a follower to win but if you like my blog then it would be awesome if you were to follow me.

Just leave a comment with a way for me to get in contact with you.

Joker Birthday Card ~ Batman:The Brave and the Bold

I made this card for my Nephew's Birthday. The Joker was cut at 4.25 in and so was the brick background. Instead of cutting out the top layer of the bricks I just ran a sharpie really quick over the red layer. I then inked all around the bricks with some brown, gray, and black. I used a Martha Stewart glitter marker along the top of the green piece and also green Stickles on the eyes.

This is the inside of the card. I printed the sentiment from my computer.

This was really a simple card. I think is only took me around 15 min. to make. My boys absolutely loved it! I hope you also enjoy and have a great day. :)

Wacky Wednesday Challenge ~ Congrats Card

I am entering this card into the Wacky Wednesday Challenge going on over at More Than Favors. This is my first time participating in one of their challenges. For this challenge you had to do anything with a sports theme. It doesn't matter the color or project.

So this is what I came up with to enter. This card is made using Every Day Paper Dolls Cartridge. The mat paper is from DCWV Glitter Stack.

Here is the inside of the card. I used SU blue ink on the sentiment.

I kept this card pretty simple without any ribbon or major embellishments since it's for my brother. (but I did add some Stickles to the "Congrats". I couldn't help myself. :) Enjoy and have a great Sunday!

Have a Blast ~ Birthday Card

This is a Birthday card I made for my brother in-law. I didn't want to make it look girly so I kept it really simple. The rocket is from " Just Because Cards" cartridge and I'm thinking I cut it at 8in. I added some "man ribbon" aka hemp, faux stitching, and the sentiment is from my computer. This card only took me start to finish 10 min. Hope you enjoyed my super simple card. Have a great day! :)

It's Your Day ~ Birthday Card

This card was made for my oldest brother for his Birthday. This card is a regular A2 sized card. I used the Celebrations Cartridge and cut the "It's Your Day" at 4in. To embellish I added hemp, buttons and some faux stitching.

This is the inside of the card. The sentiment came from the dollar bin at Michael's and again I added more faux stitching. I hope you enjoy and have a great day!

Dino Stamp Tri-Fold Card

This is a Tri-fold card I made for my brother for his birthday. The stamp is one my husband got in a kit when he was 5-years-old so we have no idea where it came from ;). I colored the image with Crayola colored pencils then used a Q-tip blotted in baby oil to blend and soften the color. I learned this technique a few weeks ago on a blog hop but can't remember which one. The sentiment is from 2 different stamp sets. The "Have a Dino-Mite Day" is from Scrappy Moms stamps and the "Brother" is from My Pink Stamper stamps. Hope you enjoy and have a great day!

Truck Birthday Card

I was fortunate enough to be able to make two cards at nap time today and think up ideas for a third one. :). This is the first one I made. It is for one of my brother's for his Birthday. This card is a A2 sized card. The truck is cut at 2 3/4 in. from Everyday Paper dolls. I cut the image 3 times as it has no layer keys and just pieced it together. I used my cuttlebug to emboss the truck with the Diamond Plate folder.
The sentiment was printed off my computer on white paper then inked around with brown and copper Martha Stewart Ink. (I Inked all the papers with this ink.) I tore some scrap paper to look like dirt, added some buttons and mounted the truck and sentiment on some foam tape. A super easy male Birthday card. hope you enjoyed it. Have a great day!
