Get Whale soon!

I have been planning to make this card ever since I received my Punnylicious stamp set from MPS. These stamps are just too cute with the Create a Critter cartridge. I had this card in mind when I bought the 6x6" paper pad at DAT'S .(my fav local scrapping store!) I love how it turned out...simple and too cute!!

  • EK Success border and corner punches
  • CTMH-black ink
  • Echo Park-Splash 6x6" patterned paper pad
  • Bazzill-black and craft cardstock

Wishing you a banner year!

I ordered a few stamp sets from Joys Life.com. When I saw this cut on the Birthday bash cart...I just had to make a card using the sentiment...Wishing you a Banner year. I love my puns...I can't help it...they always crack me up. I'm sure my fellow scrapping pals would say...Lee-Ann can't make a card without a pun...this isn't necessarily true...it's just not as fun.(ok...I was going to type the word pun in there...i'm hopeless! )

Recipe:
  • Bazill and Recollections-craft cardstock
  • Bazzill-bitter chocolate
  • MME-Limetwist-Out of the blue and Happy go lucky
  • MME-Limetwist-Happy go lucky-Together twine
  • Martha Stewart edge punch
  • EK Success corner rounder
  • Joy's Life stamp sets-Wildlife puns and You're so punny
  • Cricut cart-Birthday Bash
  • Imaginisce-i punch tool
I used the new i-Punch tool from Imaginisce to punch out the eyes and glue paper behind them rather than sticking down tiny little eyes...they're hard to glue down...and sometimes they fall off.

Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge #37

I decided to join the Cricut circle weekly challenge...this week. The site has had designers that have showcased different techniques. I chose to try Suzanne's technique of Cuttlebug embossing vellum. I cut an extra flower layer out of vellum and used embossing plates to emboss...it gives the flowers another layer and texture. Since I had the Cuttlebug already out I embossed the background paper too. I know Mother's day is a long way off, but as I was working on the card...and it just screamed Mom's Day.

Recipe:
  1. MME Stella Rose-Hazel paper
  2. Bazzill-craft cardstock
  3. vellum
  4. white uni-ball gel pen
  5. Stampin' Up-ribbon, word window and sentiment stamp
  6. CTMH-black ink
  7. White Bella Bling
  8. BG-blue pearls
  9. EK Success corner punch
  10. Cricut Cart- Elegant Edges, Country Life
  11. Cuttlebug and Embossing plates-Polka Dot, Herringbone, Tiny Bubbles and Cassies Brocade
  12. Cricut carts-Country Life and Elegant Edges
