Summer Blog Hop!

Welcome to Our Kreative Karma Blog Hop!
 

We are celebrating Summer, Graduations, Vacations, Reunions, Out of School fun!! How do you celebrate? We hope our projects will give you some inspiration! And we're offering some prizes along the way!!

 

I decided to show you a few of my Father's Day cards. The first is the card to my husband from me, and the second is the one from our kids to my husband. I hope you enjoy!

 

David is what you would call a guy's guy. If you think of the kinds of activities associated with men, he would enjoy them. One of his favorites though is fishing. Shocker, right? The Camping Critters cartridge for my Cricut is one of my favorites. I decided to put it into action for his card. :)

Project number 2: I asked my son what he wanted on his dads Father's Day card. His answer, Buzz Lightyear. YIKES! I hate doing the Disney/Pixar characters. So many small (as in TEENY TINY) pieces. Well, together, we put together this card. :)

Welcome Baby and Thank You card

Hello everyone! Long time no see. First, I would like welcome my new baby girl, Isabella, to our family. She is absolutely perfect, and the best final addition to our little family I could ask for. She is an amazing blessing to our lives. I can't wait to start scrapbooking her journey. :)

 

 

Ok, back to what you are all here for.. crafting. I made a few thank you cards for some gifts given to us after Isabella was born. I made the cards size A2 using tan card stock. I added a peach colored paper embossed with my Texture Boutique, some flowers with peach pearls added to the center, a tan and brown ribbon, and stamped the sentiment using Cocoa ink. I hope you all enjoy, and I am so happy to be back! :)

Baby Shower Card

Happy snow day!! Ok, I don't know where you are reading this from, but I am writing it from my living room while there is 6 inches of new snow on my front lawn. I am taking a break from making a chandalier for the nursery (post to come as soon as it is finished!) to post a card I made for my sister to give her best friend for her baby shower. She is pregnant with her first little one, a girl who she is going to name Clementine (absolutely adorable right!). So, here is the card I made. Enjoy!

 

 

Ok, I'm sorry. I made this a few weeks ago, and I didn't write down what cartridges I used. I apologize. I can't give you a "recipe" for this one, but I still hope you liked it! :)

Wild Baby Shower

Today, I was able to spend a wonderful afternoon with 2 very special friends of mine. My friends Kendra and Shelby are throwing me a baby shower. Since we don't know if we are having a boy or girl, we are going to have a jungle themed shower. Of course, I couldn't just have them purchase invites, so I designed them instead. Today we spent the afternoon putting them together. Hope you enjoy them. We definately enjoyed creating them together!

 

Cricut Cartridges: George and Basic Shapes, Create-a-Critter

Cardstock: Dark Brown, Green, Tan, Orange, Yellow, Black, Dark Grey, Light Grey, Light Pink, Medium Brown

Patterned Paper: Zebra, Giraffe, and Cheetah prints

 

All 3 designs have the following instructions:

Cut the dark brown at 5 inches by 7 inches with my Fiskars paper trimmer. Cut the green at 4.75 inches by 6.75 inches. Print on the information on the tan and cut at 4.5 inches by 6.5 inches. Cut a strip of patterned paper at 1 inch by 5 inches. Using my Cricut and George & Basic Shapes cartridge, I cut a circle in dark brown at 2 inches, and a circle in green at 1.75 inches. Using my ATG, I assembled the invitations. Lastly, I attached the elephant, monkey, and giraffes. See below for the directions for each of the animals.



 

  

For the giraffe, I used my Cricut Expression and Create-a-Critter cartridge. Cut the giraffe at 1.5 inches using dark brown, orange, and yellow cardstock. I used a black marker to emphasize the eyes and mouth.

 

 



 

For the monkey, I used my Cricut Expression and Create-a-Critter cartridge. Cut the monkey at 1.5 inches using dark brown, medium brown, and tan. I used a black marker to emphasize the eyes.

 

For the elephant, I used my Cricut Expression and Create-a-Critter cartridge. Cut the elephant at 1 inch using black, dark grey, light grey, and light pink cardstock. I used a black marker to emphasize the eyes.
