Flip Flop Card

I used the beautiful flip flop SVG files from ScrappyDew's Vault.  If you are not a vault member of theirs, you are seriously missing out!  Once you purchase the membership, not only do you get access to a ton of designs they already have in there, they periodically add more designs and you get those for free.  PLUS there is a coupon code for vault members that lets your purchase their regular store designs for super cheap.  Can you tell I am a happy vault member?? LOL!  Here is a link that you can see some of the designs they have in their vault.  They have added more since!

Anyway, here is the card I created from the flip flops.  They cut like a charm on my Cricut!

I used water paper from a DCWV Photo Real stack for the top part of the background.  The flowers on the flip flops are some of the built in shapes in SCAL2.  Then I used the Round 14 Epiphany Crafts shape tool to add a little extra visual interest to the center of the flowers.

I created the sand using Core'dinations Vintage Collection cardstock.  I tore two layers, embossed it then sanded it to reveal the core kraft color.  The sentiment I printed off from my computer, layered it with a scalloped punch and popped it up on foam adhesive.

Some beach...Somewhere...  Actually just being able to play with my paper helped me a lot more than getting sunburned on some hot, sandy beach would have LOL!

Magical Memoies Scrapbook Page

 

 

Here is another "Magical Memories" file I used for the kids.  You can find the pattern file here:http://www.scrappydew.com/store/world/

 

I created the title in MTC using different fonts.  I added a McQueen die cut and created the border of tires using MTC by using the basic shapes donut and welded together 14 pieces and layered in black and white.  I also used a car border from MTC.

Title: Magical Memories

Here is an adorable title I created (for a mini album) using the "Magical Memories" file you can find here:

I cut out a Mickey Head from MTC and adjusted the title to fit.  I even added a few Disney stickers.  I also used pop dots to lift the head off the page.  For the album I used Disney themed paper and ribbon.

Look Whoo's One

This is a paper pieced "Look Whoo's One" set.

This would be great for your little one that just turned 1!

Each piecing is cut and chalked.

This project was created using ScrappyDew Creations "Look Whoo's One" set.

"Tea Party Girls" Paper Piecing

By Guest Design Team member Lisa Rhodes Lamer. She is Guest Designing for the Month of May.

 "Tea Party Girls - 2012"  from ScrappyDew. 

Veggie Card

The cucumber and tomato are SVG's from the Vegetables set at ScrappyDew.  They were super fast and easy to assemble but turned out adorable!  I also embossed the cucumber with a striped embossing folder to make it look a little more like Larry :) 

The background is random sized circles adhered to white cardstock, then embossed with a really neat polka dot The Paper Studio brand embossing folder. 

I added pop dots behind both the square and the vegetables for maximum dimension.  The best part of that was my son tipping the card sideways and asking what the little squares were that were behind the paper!  LOL! 

Graduation Card

Graduation

Another Spring and more young men and women graduating!  The time of endings and of new beginnings.   This afternoon I've been busying working a graduation card for a SMU graduate.  I used the new pattern from ScrappyDew Creations "Graduation - 2013."  I think she came out really cute!  I hope you all enjoy it as well.

God Bless,

Hot Air Balloon Card

This card is very simple because I wanted it to reflect the free feeling of the balloon floating up in the sky.

All of the patterned papers are from K&Company's Wild Saffron paper pack.   I added the banner in the background by just cutting triangles from the patterned paper scraps. The yellow section of the balloon is embossed using a striped embossing folder. The balloon is popped up with foam adhesive as well.

I hope you are having a wonderfully crafty day!

Cowgirl Birthday Card

This is my first project as an official member of the ScrappyDew design team!  I was a guest designer for them and now I get to stick around for a while longer!  I am so excited! 
This card was for my niece's 10th birthday.  It is so hard to believe she is that old already.  I am not sure where the time went.  Anyway, she has wanted a horse of her own for a few years already, so I thought this card would be very fitting for her :)  Plus I don't get to make girly things that often, so I decided to go all out for this one! All of the cuts- cowgirl, horse, fence, and cactus, came from the Cowboy Kids SVG set at ScrappyDew.  The card base is a 5.5" square.

There were a lot of layers in this one and it took a bit of time, but it was so very worth it!  I guess the card was brought around to all the family members and they tried to count the different pieces of paper that I used LOL!  I guess you could say that I provided entertainment for the night even though I couldn't be there :) 

And it wouldn't have been as fun without an actin wobble behind the horse, now would it?  This shows my 3 year old having fun with it!

 And just to add a bit more dimension, I used my swiss dots embossing folder to jazz up the cactus. 

The pink and green bandanna papers were from a Debbie Mumm paper pack that I had picked up at Jo-Ann Fabrics a long time ago and it was just perfect for this card.  The horseshoe paper was from the Yee-Haw paper pack by The Paper Studio. 

I hope you all enjoy this card and have a wonderfully crafty day!

My First Haircut Layout

This is another guest design team project for ScrappyDew.  I was inspired to use the files from the First Haircut SVG set on this layout since I just recently gave my youngest his first haircut!  He looks so much bigger and older now that his hair is all trimmed up :) 

This is the title that is included in the files of that kit.  I think it is the perfect addition to the page!  I used pop-dots under it for dimension.

And finally a close-up of the boy and the hairdresser/mom that I added to the page.  I created the glasses to the mom so it would look more like me :)  I made them by welding simple shapes together in SCAL2.

This layout isn't overly busy or embellished to the max, which I tend to do sometimes, but I think in it's simplicity it documents this sweet moment just right.

I hope you enjoy it!

Bus Driver Thank You Card

Hello all!  Happy May Day!  Today I am sharing a very quick project that I made for my son's bus driver.  He is such a good bus driver...couldn't ask for a better one.  Since school is over very soon here, I knew I had to get something made for an end of the year thank you for bringing my son to and from school safely every day.  So here is what I made:

The card is very simple and I used the school bus SVG from the Back to School set at ScrappyDew.  For the card base I just flipped one copy of the bus background and welded it at the front in SCAL2.  Easy peasy!  Instant card.

Then I made a bus key chain using a 1" circle punch, 1" epoxy circle and a bottle cap.  Another super simple project.

Throw in a box of chocolate...because who doesn't like chocolate?  And you have a cute and quick gift!
