Some Quick Cards

I love having extra cuts and extra card fronts to whip something up in a hurry. I wrote my monthly penpal letters this morning and needed to get cards made before the mailman came, so I went to my shoebox of leftover cuts and unfinished card fronts to see what I could pull together. This is what I came up with: Not excellent, but pretty good! And the letters are the stars, anyway. Hope you have a wonderful weekend! Stay cool! Evelyn ..read more

The benefit of leftovers
My Little Craft Blog

A long while ago, I made card fronts but never finished the cards, but I saved them. Today I needed four note cards, so I pulled out the card fronts. They had a decidedly steampunk vibe to them, so I did some quick cuts on my Silhouette using Lettering Delights’ Steampunk Simple Shapes svgs. I added some gold colored brads and called it done. I really like how they turned out! I especially like the bee one! Oh, and in case you’re worrying about Shake Hair Barbie, she’s all good now! She got a made-to-move body and is better than ever!

Shake Hair was Puppy-gnawed

Poor Shake Hair Barbie. She’s so sweet that she was irresistible to a teething puppy. First a little spa treatment — facial and shampoo. She seems really happy to have all that dog saliva and plastic bits off her face and out of her hair! Hair all brushed out and now she’s waiting patiently for her donor body to arrive. Shake Hair is such a good sport. I think she deserves a new outfit, too, after her ordeal, don’t you? I’ll get knitting. Evelyn ..read more

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

May the luck of the Irish be with ye! I seem to be running out of ideas for St. Patrick’s Day cards! I looked through all the ones I’ve made in the past (you can find the posts here if you want to see them) and was trying to think of something different. Here’s what I came up with: I found some green patterned paper in my stash that would work and chose this cute little robot from the Robotz Cricut cartridge. That was one of my first cartridges! His green color and the shamrock make him Irish, see? (It’s a bit of a stretch, I know . . . ) The sentiment on the outside of the card is from an ol ..read more

Organizing, 2023!
My Little Craft Blog

Some of you may have noticed that I did not have a Cut it Up project this time around. I have “retired” from Cut it Up and one of my long-time design team members, Larelyn, has graciously taken it over so it can go on. I thought that warranted recognition on my part, so what better way to mark the occasion than to pare down and organize my crafty supplies! First I went through all my stamps and physical dies and sent the ones I knew I wouldn’t use anymore to a crafty friend whom I knew would put them to good use. That was the paring part. Next up was organization, specifically for my collectio ..read more

First card of 2023

Getting back into the swing of things after the holidays. There were already a couple birthdays this new year, but I sent cards that I made last year and had filed away. This is the first card I’ve made this year. It’s for my husband’s boss. I used Valentine Cupcake from Miss Kate Cuttables for the focal image. The Happy Birthday sentiment is from STAMPlorations; it’s included in their Skinny Sentiments bundle. The font for Jackie is saved on my computer. It’s called CK Man’s Print. I used an offset to make it stand out against the background, and an internal offset under the last few letters ..read more

Ho, ho, ho! It’s almost here!! Here is my project for our Christmas-themed challenge over at Cut it Up. It’s a little bag that I’ll tuck a gift card inside. I’ve had that hilarious Santa paper for years and am so happy to finally use it! Still have plenty left for a card or two for next year. The dies are from Pink and Main, the Scallop Rectangle Die (which I cut off a little piece from the bottom) and the gift bag dies, which must be retired because I don’t see it on the site anymore. Here is the back showing the little semicircular closure. I used one of those tiny velcro dots to keep it ..read more

Cut it Up – Winter

Brrr! Winter is on its way, and we at Cut it Up are ready to greet it with our winter-themed projects. Our sponsor for this challenge is Oddball Art. I have two card projects to share with you using their products. The first card uses their Kawaii Big Eye Unicorn, which I colored with colored pencils. I created a winter scene for the unicorn. She looks like a baby to me, so I think I’ll be saving this card to celebrate the birth of the next baby girl born in winter. I used a digital paper called Let it Snow Lt Blue from Snowy Overlay Papers that is saved on my computer. For the trees, cardin ..read more

Cut it Up Coffee

Mmmm, a nice, steaming hot cup of coffee! What could be better? It’s how I start my day every day! My husband and I are both coffee lovers. Not fancy coffee drinks, just plain, black coffee, and lots of it! We met our senior year of high school and have been together ever since. To turn a phrase, he’s just my cup of coffee! Our sponsor for this challenge is STAMPlorations. I chose their Framed Coffee to Go image to make this card for hubby. I printed it out on a coffee splattered digital paper that I have saved on my computer. It’s from a clip art collection called With All My Heart that I do ..read more

Cut it Up Thanks or Thanksgiving
My Little Craft Blog

The theme for this Cut it Up challenge is Thanks or Thanksgiving. I need to make a bunch of Thanksgiving cards for family, so this is a start! This card came together in a jiffy because the paper was in my stash and the cornucopia was a leftover I found in my extra cuts file. I wish I could figure out which svg it came from because it’s super cute and I’d love to cut it again! I chose to make a Z fold card, just for something different. Here’s the inside with a sentiment from Lawn Fawn, our sponsor for this challenge. It’s Celebration Scripty Sentiments. I guess I’ll have to write on the ba ..read more
