Home is Where the Heart Is

Here is a shape card that I made for a co-worker who is moving into a new home.  I am always inspired by one of my favorite cardmaker/bloggers Donna aka Popsicle Toes.  She is the queen of shaped cards in my opinion.  You can go see some of her work at http://donnamundinger-popsicletoes.blogspot.com/.  I made this card with the Winter Woodland House and Pagoda (the word heart in Japanese).  Hope you enjoy.

60th Birthday Card

A coworker and I came together to create the following card for her sister.  It is a really nice card and the final version actually contained Hebrew.  I took a picture of it and realized the Hebrew was missing.  Sorry it isn't here.

I used Gypsy Font for the Happy Birthday, numbers, and names.

Simple Christmas Cards




I decided to create some fairly simple greetingless holiday cards.  I love the paper I used for them.  I can't remember where the stripped paper came from.  I think it was Me and My Big Ideas.  I also used DCWV double sided cardstock and some Papertreyink paper.  I am trying to figure out how to cut clean cuts using the Cricut with the Papertreyink cardstock.  It is so thick that even on the highest pressure the cuts aren't always clean.  If you have any suggestions please let me know.  I cut the tree and the stocking from the Cricut Christmas Cheer Cartridge.

Kwanzaa Cards

Hi Everyone.  I have been doing some cards lately but I haven't put any up online.  Sorry.  A coworker asked me to do some Kwanzaa cards yesterday so I decided to give it a try.  I had to do a little research though.  The goblet on one is the called the Unity Cup which symbolizes unity among African peoples.  The corn represents the potential of children in the family.  A family puts out a ear of corn for each child representing their future potential.  I hope you like them and I hope to put some more Christmas cards up before the week is over.
