Landscape Rectangle Accodion Die with Cupcake Add On

Playing around with a couple more versions of the Landscape Rectangle Accordion Die set.  This time I added the cupcakes.  Next is the fence!  These are so fun.  Since I cut a bunch of pieces, I decided to do 2 cards at once.  However, after having done it the bottom way, I would definately add the "frame" piece like I did on the top one, just to give it some more stability since my cardstock wasn't that thick.  Still ok, but next time I will add the frame or cut them twice to thicken the card.  Overall, it is super fun.  I do happen to like the first one with the sentiment in the middle instead of the cupcakes all the way across, but that is just a personal preference.  I did add the Happy Birthday sentiment that I made on my Scan n Cut to the back panel of the bottom one.  Such a fun card and a great way to make use of a 6x6 paper pad.  

Landscape Rectangle Accordion Card - Happy Birthday

So after making the last Landscape Rectangle Accordion Die masculine card from Karen Burniston dies, I decided to make another while I had all the stuff out.  Easier that way.  Such a fun card.  Lovin it.  This one has flowers on it but soft colors.  So fun.

Landscape Rectangle Accordion Card - Happy Birthday Masculine

 

So I found metal dies by Karen Burniston.  How fun!  I normally use my Silhouette or Cricut to make things, but her dies are so fun!  I must admit, I bought a few.  Shhhh....don't tell.  LOL.  This is the Landscape Rectangle Accordion Die.  I always struggle with making masculine cards, but I think this one nailed it.  The truck is Stampin' Up Trucking Along.  It goes great with this card I think and masculine!  Just love it.

Here's another fun birthday layout.   So fun.   Adding it to the Lasting Memories challenge.

Bear and Deer Double Slider Card

Here's a cute double slider card.  I just love how these turn out.  So stinkin' much fun and realatively easy to make.  So so cute!  I think it will make a good masculine card also.  Those are always the hardest for me.  I'll stamp a sentiment on it when I decide what occasion I will send it for and it will be done.   I am loving these!  The next one I want to try is a iris fold card.....what is your favorite card to make?

It's Your Special Day Double Slider Card

I am loving these double slider cards!  This is another birthday one for my sister-in-law.  So so much fun!  I hope she likes it.  I am the only crafter in my extended family so it is fun to send these special interactive cards for my family.  So so fun!  I have a couple more fun ones that I want to make but I will probably make a couple more of these first.  So much fun!

Happy Bird Day Photo Collage Card

Oh my gosh!  This has just become my new favorite interactive card!  SOOOOOOO much fun and what an impact!  My FIL's bday is coming up and I wanted to make him a fun card since we are in quarentine and won't be spending the normal time together on his birthday.  I had just receive this die and had these stamps that I thougt would make a fun masculine card.  I just LOVE LOVE LOVE how it turned out.  These little birds were the perfect size to put on the inside and I think it is more masculine than feminine.  I have a hard time with male cards but I think he will like this one.  This is the first one of these I have ever made and it was so fun.  I think I am off to try it again!

Truck Pop and Twist Card

I have a hard time with manly birthday cards.  I decided to turn this pop and twist into a birthday card.  I think the papers and the truck give it a more masculine feel than others.  Hope he likes it.

Happy Birthday Bear Card

This was a fun card to make.   I used my new metallic rubons to create the metal look on the embossed cogs in the background.  It turned our so nice.  This card is for my FIL.  Inside it says, "Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional!"  LOL.  Like father, like son....just sayin.'

Pop and Twist Happy Birthday Card

I have been seeing these pop and twist cards all over the internet.  I made a couple for Christmas but my Mom had a birthday coming up and I thought she might think it was fun so I made a birthday card for her.  These are so fun...to make and to give!  Plus the yellow papers on this card are all left overs from other projects so a win/win all the way around.  Happy Birthday Mom!

Embossed Gift Card Set

I am in love with these cards.  Simple, masculine or feminine, a great use for my emobssing folders, and super cute.  I know it isn't easy to see, but if you look real close, each card is embossed differently.  They look a lot better in person.  Love them!

Retreat Party Explosion Box

 

So I have never done an explosion box but they had the cutest birthday set over at Dreaming Tree that I just had to have!  One of files in the set was an explosion box.  Can I say, oh my goodness!  How absolutely fun and easy is this!!!!  I have a retreat coming up soon so I decided this was a good time to try to make this.  I hope she likes it.  I think I'll fill it with some kind of treats....chocolate maybe?  LOL.  Everyone loves chocolate right?  I think I'll make one of these for my daughter and put a gift card in it.  What teenager doesn't like money?   Now I need to make the cupcake gift box.  It is adorable also.  If it's as easy to work with as this file, I'm sold!  I love the balloons and party hat!  Doesn't this just scream party and have fun!  I LOVE it!

Happy 46 Birthday Layout

Have I mentioned that I am beginning to love print and cut?  LOL.  I don't know about you, but it seems that birthday photos and Christmas photos are the last to get done around my house.  I have several years of everyone's birthdays because with the friends party, family party, birthday activities etc, there are always tons of pictures and to make the piecings for all those photos takes a ton of time!  So in comes print and cut.  Now I can cut a bunch a piecings in the time it would take me to just make a couple of only 1 pattern.  I love the dimension of paper piecing, but let's face it, sometimes I need a quicker option.  For that reason, I am loving print and cut.  Maybe I will get some of those birthdays and Christmas' done yet!  Two birthdays done just today.  Gotta love that!  These little cuties are Marjorie Ann Designs.  Cute huh!  These designers sure make some adorable files.  Love all their talent.  I was asked who my favorite designer was.....why all of them of course!  I couldn't pick just one if I had too.  They are so talented and I love them ALL!

Sundae Treat Box

I am going to a scrapbook retreat in about a month and we do a secret sister exchange.  I decided I'd better get started because I have a lot coming up in the next month also.  So I decided to take one of the caddy essentials boxes from a collection from My Scrap Chick and make this cute little box.  The I used a cute sundae file from KaDoodle Bug Designs to make the cute little sundae.  I think it turned out cute.  I'm going to make a card and also one of those Sundae's made with a cup, loofa, and straw to go with it.  Maybe some chocolates to go in the box.  This lady is new to our group so I've never met her before.  Here's to hoping she likes it!  Here's a couple challenges to enter it into also.

Make a Wish Layout

I always have TONS of birthday pictures and since they take a lot of time, I often have several years at a time waiting to be done.  Since I recently got my Cameo, I decided to try print and cut.  These cute little monkeys are a set from Little Scraps of Heaven that I have had for some time and never got around to making.  Well, I decided to do some print and cuts and knock some of these birthday layouts into the books.  LOL.  So here are those cute little monkeys on a layout.  My son wanted to go to the gun store and shoot this 50 caliber at $20 per 2 shots.  He LOVED it.  I was behind him when he shot it and no one prepared me for the blast I would receive just from being near it!  LOL.  After this, we took off to the range where we shot the uglies zombie targets I have ever seen, but once again, it was a fun time for my son!
