Cards Using Pictures

My friend, Jenn, gave me copies of some of her pictures.  She asked me to see what I could do to turn them into cards.  I especially had fun with her rose pictures.  I was determined to come up with different ways to take the 'same' picture and make them different.

Ice Cream Dream

Ice Cream Dream was the Stamp of the Month for June.  It's soooo cute!  Oh, and I love ice cream so how can you go wrong?!!?!

Workshop on the Go Blossom Cardmaking Kit

I fell in love with the Blossom paper pack and the stamp set that is exclusive to the card making kit.  I'm not always good at following directions but found the card making kit easy and the cards turned out great!

Time to Catch up

I'm back....  As some of you know, my 2015 wasn't the best of years.  The fact that I didn't post at all in 2015 is proof as well.  It's time to get back into the swing of the things and add a few catch up posts.  Let's start with 2015 - 2016 CTMH Annual Inspirations. The new Cricut cartridge is called Artistry.  I love it!  There are so many great images.  Below are a few samples

 

CTMH Artfully Sent Cards

The CTMH Artfully Sent Cricut cartridge can make so many cards... quick & easy.... and for any occasion.  Merry & Bright in both blue & red.  I cut out separate snowflakes & ornaments (I used washi tape as the stripe on the ornament) to add more color.

The cupcake card makes a very quick birthday card.  I used the cupcake pieces to make another card (I need to take a picture so I can add it here).

Cards made using scraps

I always say I need to make better use of my scraps.  Below are a couple of examples of what great cards can be made from those scraps.

Pop Up / Box Cards

I really like the look of the box cards and how versatile they are.... below are a couple more that I've made....  The first card I made for my nephew's 15th birthday.  I liked the combination of softball, soccer ball, football & basketball... All of which I cut using the CTMH Artbooking cartridge.

The second card, I used the Critters cartridge but I could have used the Artbooking cartridge as well.
