New ATG gun

Oh boy did the holidays treat me well. I had alot of fun with family and friends. My most favorite present this Christmas was my absolutely gorgeous new ATG gun!! Gone are the days of constantly refilling my little adhesive rollers! GONE! I am in love with this little tool, although, I haven't come up with a name for it yet. As of now it remains nameless but I look forward to the future and all the fun memories I know we are going to share.

Love,

Lady Bug Hello

Here's my Lady Bug Card. I can't take Create a Critter out of my cricut, it just is too cute. The lady bug is cut at 3in. I used a martha stewart border punch on the srap of red paper. I added the polka dot ribbon too. The black and white circles were cut out of George and Basic Shapes. I don't remember the sizes, but I know I cut them out a 1/4in difference. Hope you enjoyed.

Love,

Lauren

Mouse Card

I think I'm addicted to critters!:) They are so darn cute. Here is a card I made with some new clear stamps I got on sale at Michaels. I can't remember what the set was called and dummy me through away the wrappings. Here's my card...

I cut the mouse out at 3.5 inches from Create a Critter. The pink paper and patterned heart paper are both scraps I found. I used a Martha Stewart punch to add the decorative border. This card was quick and simple but I really like it!

3D Flower

I am just in love with this card! I have to say that I completely imressed myself with this one. Its so simple but at the same time so sophisticated and so cute! Hmmm I don't think I am going to be able to give this one away!! Is that selfish?!:) Okay well I'm done rambling...

The solid and pattern paper are just scraps I found in my bin. I stamped the "Thank You" in black ink and then hit it with some embossing powder and heat gun.
Here is a close up of the flower. I made it out of light pink cardstock and then sprayed some glitter on it. The leaves are from a set I bought a while back but I don't recall from where.

Here's a side view so you can see how far the flower comes off the card. I LOVE IT!

Create a Critter Thank You

An apple is such a simple little fruit but it is just so cute! I love the Create-a-Critter cartridge and all of its extra little cuts.
The apple is cut out at 2 inches. I used green and pink card stock for the background. The pink border is cut with a Martha Stewart Border Punch. I ran a black ribbon under the apple and stamped the Thank You in black ink.

Love,

Another Cricut-less Project

Thank you cards are a necessity. You can never have to many. Here's a super quick little card with patterned paper from DCWV Taj Mahal. Then I added some really cool embellishments that were recently given to me called Dazzles. I love how they look!!

The "Thanks" is sticker I found in one of my sticker bins. I've probably had it for years now. I really loved the colors together though!

Here is a side view of the card so you can see how it is 3D. The petals on the flowers fold up. I just love these Dazzles! They are so much fun:)

Christmas Note Cards

Here's just some quick (cricut-less) little Christmas note cards I made for some dear women that are incredibly friendly every time I see them. They are the receptionists at an elementary school I volunteer at and I really appreciate their kindness.

I stamped the background with a random flower stamp I've acquired over the years and then filled it in with a little snowflake stamp. The green patterned paper is just a scrap I cut up.

The stamp is from G-Rated stamps. It's soooo cute! I hope you enjoyed this quick little card. Only 18 more days til Christmas!

Love, Lauren
