5 Quick & Cute Cards

I've finally got my card crafting mojo back! Yay! I love doing cards. They are quick and can satisfy your crafty cravings. And with 2 little boys running around, I need something that I can do quickly, because sure enough...there WILL be an interruption.

Mom, I'm hungry!

Mom, come look at this!

Mom, Brett has a poopy diaper! (lol)

or the baby is crying because he bumped his head (trying to learn to walk)

Ok, on to card #1, I made this one using a free file from SVGcuts blog, which you can snag here. I love all the juicy layers to this svg. It is 4 layers deep! Stunning in person and yet so simple!

This card, I can't take the credit for, I found it in a stash of old scrapbooking goodies that belonged to my aunt, someone did an excellent job on it, so I tore out the inside and recycled it (i do this a lot). I really hope that the people who recieve my cards do this as well, that way the love that went into it can be appreciated by more than one person. The only thing I added to this card are the jewels in the center of the flowers.

It looks to me like it was created using simple scallops that were cut to look like flower petals (brilliant!).

I forget where this adorable little girl is from, but I just love her! I added some stickles to her hairbow. 

This is another card created using a free file from SVGcuts blog. You can get it here. I love how cleanly their images cut and how easy they are to assemble!

And lastly, this one was created using a new file that i just made. You can get it free here.

It has 3 layers. I added a little flower at the bottom, with a button and then a rhinestone on top.

Simple, yet elegant.

Wagon Get Well Card

Here is a cute and fun little card that I made the other day using last week's wagon freebie. I cased a card that I had seen on the Scrappin' Navy Wife's blog. She has some adorable cards! I love how she uses faux stitching on almost all of them. Makes quite an impact. This card wouldn't be nearly as cute without it!

BTW, the inside says "Hope you have a speedy recovery!

Clean & Simple Get Well Card

I'm tellin' ya! These sketches at Clean & Simple Stamping are a breeze! I just whipped out another one! I never use stickers on my cards, but in this case it worked out perfectly!

A Get Well Card + freebie

I just thought I'd pop in today to share this card that I made for a custom on facebook. She requested a get well card with purple roses. I found this rose bouquet through coloring pages on google. I used my copics to color it then I added some purple flocking to some of the rose petals. Although, I'm not completely satisfied with the results. At first glance, it appears like I didn't get my copics blended well enough. The flocking isn't very obvious. The little roses I cut using my cricut and twisted them around to make little roses. There is a tutorial and a free svg file here.

I also made this little cutie for you. I think he'd look really cute with googly eyes, so if you'd like to use them, don't cut all of the layers, just two of them. There are 4 layers in all so that you don't have to paste all those little circles for the eyes.  Alien SVG

My Get Well Card for Riley

Hello again! Two posts in one day! haha. Here is my get well card for Riley, the cancer patient who made a special request to "Make a wish foundation". She simply asked for a mailman to drop a bag full of get well cards on her bed when she returned from treatment. So her is my card! I really really enjoyed making this one. It certainly makes a difference when you know who you're going to send the card to. I definately enjoy it more that way. I wanted to make it as girly as I could.

It all started with this butterfly image that I found online. I converted it to an svg (it's tomorrows freebie Thursday). Then I was playing around with my cricut markers which I've had for quite sometime but I've neglected them. I drew the image, then used the "shadow" feature to cut around it. Then I decided it was still too plain, so I used purple stickles to fill in the space between the marker lines. I loved the end result so much better. Then finally I colored some tiny gems to make them match the pink and dressed it up a bit.
