Fathers Day card 2013

Happy Fathers Day! Masculine cards are my least favorite cards to make thank goodness I can just pull a shape off my silhouette.  This card is for my Dad who in his younger days was a golf fanatic.  All the images are cut from the silhouette  the side panel is embossed using a cuttlebug folder.

Hello, today I wanted to share one of my new favorite cards to make a "cascade". I like  the cascade card because you can get so many different looks and it can be used for so many occassions. When first looking at the card it may seem a little confusing but actually it is quite simple. The best directions I have found are  by www.frenchiestamps.com she has a great youtube video she cuts down on a lot of the measuring.
Hope you enjoy the card despite the poor photo.

Double Display Card

Hello everyone, well after a hectic work season and cleaning up all the spam comments I am now able to blog again. I hope you all stay with me and I will try to be more consistent in my blogging. Now for my card this is a double display card which is very much like the shutter card except larger. I made this one for my card club buddy Kim's birthday. I found the directions on pinterest they were very easy the tricky part just like with the shutter card is getting the folding right. Hope you enjoy the card!!!

Cascading Card

Whew!! finally the last of the Christmas cards LOL!! actually I did not make my normal 30 something Christmas cards. This year I made a select few and the rest were store bought (Gasp in horror). I was much too busy this year to have time to make them (or just did not manage my time well). My card club just exchanged Christmas cards and gifts this month due to everyone being sick with the flu. The cards I am sharing with you today were made for my card club the style of card is called a cascading card super easy to make. The women were cut with my silhouette along with the car front. I saw this idea on Pinterest www.callalilystudioblog.blogspot.com her card was so adorable she called it retail therapy and Ihad to give it a try. Thanks for stopping by Alicia

Children in Silhouette

This card was done for a children's church group that needed thank you cards to send to donors. They were open to any design concept and I thought this one of the children marching would be appropriate. The image is not stamped but cut out with the silhouette cutting machine and I was happy to be able to use one of my cuttlebug strips across the top. I always forget to use the strips and also the small square embossing folders on projects I need to use them more often. The inside was left blank so they could put their own sentiments and personal messages. Thanks for stopping by Alicia
