Pink & Black Pocket Letter

Hi friends! Sorry I have been away for so long. My family lost someone so dear to us and it has been a rough few weeks. I needed a distraction so I am popping in to share this pocket letter I made for a new friend that I met at the Pocket Letter Pals Valley Girl Meet Up last month. She likes pink, black, bling, butterflies, coffee, and her spotted pit bull mix pup. So I used all that info to put this together.

For the tag I used the Indie Art cartridge for the butterfly and made the wings pop up. The top row I used a card with the roses cut from the Artfully Sent cartridge. I stamped it with a sentiment from the CDD Blooming For You stamps. I got the purses from Paisley and the Formal Occasions cartridges. I added some bling and used the CDD Pocket Pieces Hi Dies for most of the stitched rectangles in my PL. The hello with the butterfly is from the Lyrical Letters cartridge. I used glitter cardstock for the pink and the white and added mini pearls to the butterfly. 

The center row I used the Artfully Sent cartridge for the beautiful cutout. The butterfly and sequins are from Craftin Desert Divas. The center pocket is sooooo sparkly I wish it showed up better in the photos. I used all glitter cardstock from DCWV and the Monogram is from the Art Philosophy cartridge. The sparkle cutout is from the Disney Tinkerbell & Friends cartridge.

The bottom row is my favorite. I used this cute pup from the Animal Kingdom cartridge and colored him with my Spectrum Noir markers to look like her pup. I added brown pearls for his eyes and stamped the sentiment & paw using the CDD Animal Antics stamps. I made the center shaker with the cut from the Wild Card cartridge. The letter inside the shaker is from the Sweethearts cartridge.  And finally the pup with the thought cloud and bone I also colored with my Spectrum Noirs, I made using a die set from My Creative Time.

For the back I made a bunny card to tuck my letter into with the Sugar and Spice cartridge.  I filled the pockets with paperclips I made with the Love You A Latte cartridge, some prima flowers, die cuts from Craftin Desert Divas, twine and some stickers.

Here is a close up of the sparkly clips I made.

Here are the Craftin Desert Divas products I used:

Yellow Submarine Card/ Birthday Celebration

Using Cricut Life's A Beach and other cartridges I made a 5"x7" Yellow Submarine card for my

son's 11th birthday. It was a great day with family & friends swimming, BBQing, cupcakes and presents. I had to cut many periscopes to mimic the Beatles Yellow Submarine and I paper pieced

the layers to get the different colors. I used the Animal Kingdom cartridge for the dog and cat heads.

I custom decorated them to look like our cat Jack and dog Minnie. I used Paper Dolls for the boy head and hair and Peachy Keen face stamps to look like my little guy (I guess not so little anymore!) and Groovy Times for the rainbow. I would have done more to the card if I wasn't in such a hurry with all the party preparations.

I used one of those awesome action wobbles I bought from The Scrapbooking Queen.

 They are the coolest! 

I added another rainbow and music notes to the inside of the card.

 

 

I found this awesome Yellow Submarine ice cube tray and made some submarine candies!

 

I then used them to decorate my famous chocolate-chocolate-chip cupcakes that my friends and family love and ask for all the time. I used the rainbow sour tape for the rainbow. I've seen pics all over pinterest with the rainbow cupcakes and thought that it would add just the right touch.

 

 

I decorated the house with rainbow streamers and these Beatle's cards that I used for the invitations. as well as more Yellow Submarine cuts. It was a fun day and my son was very happy!

 

 

I will be entering my card into the "Anything Goes" challenge on the Action Wobble website.

Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Pilgrim Dog & Cat cupcake tags

I used my Cricut to make Pilgrim Dog & Cat cupcake tags for a harvest themed open house community affair at my husbands veterinary clinic. I love to bake and this is the first time I actually had time to do a little bit extra in the presentation.

 

 

I used the Cricut Animal Kingdom cartridge for the cat and dog faces with the blackout layer feature (3.5"). I made the pilgrim hats from the Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge. The hat was plain so I used the belt and turned it upside down to look like the buckle strap on a pilgrim hat.(cat 2.5", dog 2.75") The tags were larger than I imagined (2.75")but I really wanted to use my Peachy Keen cat face stamp from the animal faces set and I bought them in size medium. So I had to make the faces fit the stamp. The scalloped squares are from Elegant Edges and were 2.75". That is one of my most used cartridges for layering. I just love it.

Thanks for stopping by and I have a blessed day!
