Sesame Street Shaker Card

Hello and Happy Tuesday!!

Today I have a super fun card to share.

I got to use my We R Memory Keepers Fuse Tool

for the first time to make a shaker card.

I was inspired by Jennifer McGuire's post HERE

My husband's niece has twins, and they recently

celebrated their 1st Birthday and it was a

Sesame Street Themed Party.

When I photographed this card outside, I had to put a 

white envelope behind it.  The cute character faces are from

PPBN Designs - Sesame Street Member Exclusive Set

I added a number 1.  The inside of the card holds

various sequins and a Happy Birthday Target Gift Card.

Here is a picture of the card without the envelope

so you can see it is transparent.

This was the first this I made with my

Fuse Tool.  It has a learning curve, I had to

seal it again because the seam split open,

You have to be sure to use the right amount of pressure.

Thanks for stopping by. 

I will be entering the following challenges:

Little Scrap Pieces Show it off Saturday Linky Party

Baby Carriage Gift Bag

Hello all My Crafty Friends!!

I have a cute little baby

gift bag to share with you today.

 I started with a kraft gift bag.

The next layer is a piece of ivory cardstock

that I inked with TH Distress Ink

in Fired Brick and Scattered Straw.

The next layer is a piece of 6x6 paper

from My Mind's Eye "Playdate" stack.

Not sure what pack the red paper is from,

but I cut this doily using my new

We R Memory Keepers

Lucky 8 Punch.

The top layer is my adorable baby in the buggy cute

from Simply Charmed.  I have embossed it, and

added a cute little Peachy Keen Face, I believe

it is from Wide Eyed Kids.

I cut these last year for a swap, and have never

used it.  I have about 8 of them so you may

see this image again!!

I mounted the baby buggy on an action wobble.

I added some buttons from October Afternoon

accented with Twine.  I also added some pearl flourishes

from Want 2 Scrap.  The ribbon at the top is

from 3 Girl Jam and the trim at the bottom is

from Webster's Pages.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

Happy Day

Hello to All My Crafty Friends.

I have a sweet little card to share with you today,

that I made for a few challenges.

The first challenge is the
Peachy Keen Sketch Challenge.
Here is the sketch:



Here is my take on the sketch

I started with paper from My Mind's Eye.

I embossied the flowered paper with

the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder

and the yellow paper with a folder

from the Damask Decor set.

I inked each side with some

Tim Holtz Distress ink

in Old Paper and Weathered Wood.

I used one of the adorable fairy stamps from

the Peachy Keen June 2012 SOTM.

I colored her in with my Stampin' Up markers.

I added some Stickles in Fruit Punch, Waterfall

and Stardust to make her sparkle!

The doily border is a new We R Memory Keepers

punch that I got from HSN.

I added a crocheted flower that I

purchased from Created by Tatiana.

The tag and sentiment are

from My Craft Spot and is

tied on with some Flax twine

from The Twinery.

I finished the whole thing off with

some pearl bling from

Want 2 Scrap.

I will be entering this card in the

following challeges:

Card Creating Tuesday - Easter

For today, the design team was asked to make Easter card

using GREEN, YELLOW and one other color. 

My third color is PINK

Here is a sneak peak!

For today's card I used Art Philosophy for the card base.

It was cut at 5".  I embossed the base with a

Simply Charmed Cuttlebug folder.

The three frames were cut from Elegant Edges at varying sizes.

The card base and the frames were all cut from

Close to My Heart paper pack called "Sweet Pea". 

That is also the name of my Spoiled Dog #1!!

The circle was cut using a Spellbinders die called Lacy Circles.

The was embossed with another Cuttlebug folder.

The paper is Coordinations Color Core cardstock,

which I sanded to bring out the lighter pink color.

Finally this funny little bunny was cut at

3.5" from 3 Birds on Parade.

She was mounted use an action wobble.

Here is a little video to show how she wobbles!!

I followed the card sketch over at

Erica's Craft Room Challenges

for the Feb/March Card Challenge.

Erica is giving away a Sophie Cartridge for this

challenge, so please check it out!!

I am also entering this card in the My Craft Spot - For The Birds challenge

Thanks for stopping by today and please make sure

 you HOP over to My Cricut Craft Room

to see the wonderful cards made by the rest of the design team.

Theme Day Thursday - Cartridge - Elegant Edges

 For today's Theme Day Thursday, we could make a
Seasame Street project or use the Elegant Edges cartridge.

I chose to use Elegant Edges since I do not yet

own any of the Seasame Streets cartridges!!

For this card the two base images are from Elegant Edges. 
I thought the layer with the sun cutout

would be perfect for using with my new
Peachy Keen February Stamp of the month.
The first layer was cut at 5.69"w x 4.65" h
The layer with the sun was cut at 4.23"w x 5.4"h
I embossed this layer with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder
The clouds were cut from Create a Critter at 2"
I added some yellow stickles to the sun

The pattern paper was from my scrap pile,
so not sure where it's from!!
All other paper is Coordinations.

Here is a close up of the rainbow which

I stamped and cut out from

Peachy Keen's February stamp of the month set.

I colored the rainbow with my Stampin' Up markers.

As you can see, my coloring has a long way to go!!

I covered the entire rainbow with Glossy Accents to make it shiny.

I embossed the clouds with Cuttlebug's Divine Swirls folder.

The face stamp is from the same Peachy Keen set.

I finished  my card off by tying some twine at the top and adding a sentiment from

My Creative Time's "Teeny Tag Greetings" die and stamp set.

I inked all the edges with my brand new

Sweetheart Inkers from We R Memory Keepers.

I am loving these inkers!!

Please stop by My Cricut Craft Room

I am entering this in the Celebrate the Occasion - Challenge #51

Card Creating Tuesday - Make an Action Card

 For this weeks Card Creating Tuesday, we were challenged with making an Action Card.

I just love using action wobbles on my cards

For todays card, I used Pack Your Bags Cricut Cartridge

The entire image and all the layers were cut at 4".

The action wobble was attached to the dolphin.

Here is a short video show how he wobbles! 

Sorry don't know why it is sideways and I could not rotate it!!
