Welcome baby Noah

Yesterday my cousin gave birth to a beautiful baby boy named Noah. Both mother and baby are happy and healthy and we are all so glad that Noah is finally here.

 

 

Below is the card that I made for my cousins baby shower back in June.

 

To make this card I cut 2 dark blue onesies from the Cricut Life is a Party Cartridge (pg. 29) on the BASE layer, and then using the BASE SHIFT I cut one layer in white and 2 in light blue .

 

I adhered the white layer to one of the dark blue pieces and then glued only the top edges (the shoulder pieces) together with the other blue piece to make a flip up card.

 

I ran the light blue piece through my swiss dots cuttlebug folder and adhered it to the front of the card.

 

I chose to use another image on the front of the onesie instead of the duck that cuts out with it. I found the boat on the Baby Steps Cartridge (pg. 55) and I only cut the Layer 1 pieces.

 

I then added 3 small buttons (from favorite findings) to the bottom for a more finished look.

 

On the inside I cut the remaining light blue onesie so that only a 'diaper' shape was left and added 2 pieces of washie tape to either side in a coordinating color. I placed so foam take along the sides and bottom of the 'diaper' piece so that a gift card would slide into the pocket.

Father's Day Cards

While going through my pictures I discovered that I never shared this Father's Day Card from last year (2013) that I made for my amazing Grandpa. It was super quick and easy and he loved it.

 

This card could easily be changed into a birthday card or other sentiment. For this card I used the Cricut Wild Card Cartridge for the argyle background (found on page 33 under the Icon feature). And, the golfer which was cut from the All Sports Cartridge (image found on page 27.) The banner was cut from the Ribbon Banners set of dies by Spellbinders.

 

 

 

I also wanted to share with you the cards that I made for Father's day 2014. I ended up just making several of the same card to give to both my dad and my grandpa because I was rushed for time. This card was extremely simple and just uses some layer of different papers and cardstocks. I was able to use some of my scraps to make this and it could easily be replicated to fit any occasion or be made with different colors to be more feminine.

 

 

 

 

Grandpa's Birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDPA!!


If you haven't guessed it already, today is my grandpa's birthday. He turned 89 years old today and he wears it well. Looking at him you would never know that he is 89, he is always so active, whether it is from bowling on a league or mowing grass all summer he keeps himself busy which in turn keeps him looking young and healthy.

In honor of my grandpas birthday I wanted to share the birthday card that I made for him this year as well as the one that I made for him last year that for some strange reason I never posted.

This first card is actually the card I made for him last year, and it was made to celebrate one of his favorite things: COOKIES!!


And now the card for this year. I wanted to include a vintage mustang on his card this year because he has spent the better part of the last year trying to restore an old mustang into working condition.
