Gnome Sweet Gnome

I made this one using the Gnomes and Mushrooms Digital cart on the Cricut Craftroom. As a Circle Member...if you resigned up, you got to use all the CCR carts for free for the month of August. I've been eyeing these cute little cuts for a while. I thought I'd use all the cuts and make 3 cards...this is the first one. The cuts remind me of the Hello Kitty carts, as they all have a large border...super easy to assemble. Anyways...I love them...they're all super cute!! Thanks for dropping by...Lee-Ann :)

House card

I was inspired by another blog to make this card. She used this shape from Wild Card 2 and I was immediately convinced of how cute this cut actually is. I thought the 2 fluffy blue things by the house were weird trees. They really used strange colours in the instruction booklet. I pulled out my Cuttlebug to provide a little texture, and voila...fast card. Thanks for looking...Lee-Ann :)

What's canoe with you?

I was inspired by a blog that I follow...they were making little signs for the doors at a camp...for the campers. They actually cut out most of the cute critters on the Campin Critters cart. The Critters were so cute...I had to drag that cart out and play. I actually chose the sentiment first...too funny. I also tried to keep this simple and man-ish...you can never have enough man birthday cards. I also remembered to stamp BEFORE I embossed. No swears were uttered while constructing this card.Thanks for stopping by my happy place...Lee-Ann :)

Happy Birthday

I made this card for my Daughter's room mate in University. She's turning 19...in Canada that's age of majority. She's actually American...so at least in Canada when she's here for school...she's legal to PARTY!
Well I decided to use this graffiti like image from the Out of Character cart. I think it turned out well...bright and fun. Thanks for dropping by...Lee-Ann :)

Somebunny loves you

I made this one for my daughter...I'm not sure if this will be her birthday card or her Valentine's card...probably Valentine's Day...that's why I left the inside sentiment blank. I've mentioned in the past that she is bunny driven...loves rabbits...that's why I try to make her a rabbit card for all holidays. Anyways...I think it turned out cute...and I was able to use a paper pad that I've had for a while and not used. Perfect! Lee-Ann :) Thanks for stopping in...

ps...all the *** items are from DAT'S my LSS.

Recipe:

1. MME-Quite Contrary-Jack and Jill 6" paper pad-*
2. Bazzill-chocolate and Kraft cardstock...and a scrap of pinkie red for the nose-*
3. MME-Limetwist red twine-*

5. CTMH-brown bag ink
6. Joy's life.com-Wildlife puns stamps
7. SU-Chocolate chip marker
8. Cricut carts-Elegant Edges and Campin' Critters
9. White Signo gel pen-*

The cuts I used...Rabbit behind the tree from Campin' Critters, pg57...cut at 4" with all it's layers...the layered mats came from Elegant Edges pg46, Oblong heart and shadow...outside cut at 4.25", inside layers cut at 4"

Owl be Seeing you...

I decided to pull out the Campin' Critters cart and play. There's so many cute little images on this. Love the owl and I think the sentiment is perfect. I went a little pop dot crazy...love a little dimension! Thanks for dropping by...Lee-Ann :)

ps...I actually made my own buttons on this card...love it! I punched out 3-5/8" circles...layered and glued them together, then I used my Imaginisce punch to punch holes where they go on a button, then I stuck my buttons down on my Cricut Mat...rubbed well to make sure they're going to stay...then I applied Diamond glaze to the top...let them dry on the Cricut mat, if you don't...the image will curl and then crack if you try to flatten it after...believe me...I figured this out the hard way on images before. Once dry...I inked the edges of my buttons...and voila...homemade matching buttons. My pic doesn't show the shiny finish...but it's there. It's cloudy outside today...
