Warm Fall Wishes

These little owls looked so cozy and cute on their branch that I thought they would make a great 'Warm Wishes For a Cozy Autumn' card. I added chalks, coloured pencil a little bit of glitter glue for detail. The cloud was a last minute hand cut addition.

The owls, the branch and some foliage are from the I Love Owls cut set.

The banner and the rest of the foliage are from Floral Banners

And the card base is from the A2 Shape Cards set

Christmas Cards from DC9 "Joy"

Hello crafty friends! Are you looking forward to the weekend? I know I am, two whole days to scrap! I wanted to share a couple of cards I made this past week. It's not too early or too late to start on your Christmas cards. I made both of these in under an hour.

 I found this paper at the Scrapbook Expo I attended a few weeks ago. I loved that I could use it inside the card and it had it's own natural lines.

I like this one so much I decided to make another one. I changed it around a little, used a different themed paper. I have seen a lot of this color combination in the craft stores for Christmas. Have to say, I love the blue with red, it's really stunning!

You can find the pattern for this cute card Joy card on the Designs on Cloud 9 page.
The patterns are so affordable and easy to use. I was able to made two cards from a 12"x12" paper.  The patterned paper is from a stack of 6"x6" paper. I used two sheets for each card.  You could dress them up more, but I wanted something simple this time around.
Thanks for stopping by today and I wish you all a fantastic weekend!

Baby Giraffe mini album

Hello!  Evelyn from My Little Craft Blog here to share my most recent baby mini album with you.  

I had a bunch of leftover stickers for the inside pages, but I wanted the cover to be special.  There were so many adorable baby files files to choose from at Designs on Cloud 9!  It was so hard to choose.  There is a baby whale, lion, duck, elephant, and hippo but I finally went with the Baby Giraffe file.  The word baby is from Baby Mine Title file.  

The files contain the mommy and the baby.  This little sweetie is the baby.  I love how her nostrils and tail are hearts!!  Come visit me at My Little Craft Blog if you'd like to see the inside pages.

All you need is love...

For this project, I used the Designs on Cloud 9 card file, Designer Love Card. You can purchase that HERE. I just love the way the sentiment is framed. This card file is fantastic for quick last minute card. Change the sentiment if you want. Use different colors or patterns. I will definitely be using the sentiment frame in other projects.

Trick or Treat... Smell my feet... give me something good to eat

Hello everyone!  Happy Halloween to those who enjoy this spooky, creepy and sweet holiday.  A word about my title - when my sisters and I were little we used to drive my mom crazy saying that.  She said we were being rude.  We never actually went to a neighbor's door trick or treating saying that, but it would bother my mom and we thought that was hilarious!

I love Halloween.  I don't get all creepy and scary or evil or anything like that.  I just love remembering my kids in their costumes and I super enjoy seeing other's little kids in theirs.  I also love making Halloween projects.  This is the last one I have to share with you.

Easy, adorable and done in minutes!  I used the Deckle Treat Bag and the Haunted House Silhouette cutting files to create these little treats for my co-workers.  They loved them!  I used some plain black card stock from Michaels for the bag and the Halloween stack of decorative paper also from Michaels.  These were perfectly sized for 3 pieces of candy.

Aren't they fun!  Now this treat bag can be sized bigger or smaller and change up the paper and you have sooo many options.  Birthdays, Christmas, Hanukkah, Easter, Valentine's, Because I like you... you name it, you make this treat bag into that!  This is a MUST HAVE file.

Best Witches to all my crafty ghoul-friends.

Sending Heartfelt Cards

Making cards for my lady friends is always a lot of fun, only when I have to send them far away, it gets a bit more difficult to keep it flat enough for easy mailing, while still keeping it interesting with a layered look. I'm pleased with how these 2 cards turned out!

The first one is done on a cream card base. I added stamping and alcohol ink sprays to the background for interest. On top of that I layered a heart doilie cut out. In retrospect I think it would have been even nicer had I embossed that heart!

The next card started with a white base and the doilie is  a more lacy design. I really like that!

I finished both cards with a handwritten sentiment on the hand cut banner, and a few sequins to add a bit of dimension, without adding bulk.

I used the Heart Doilies cut files

Hoppy Halloween Border

Hello all! I'm Sue from Scrappin with Mom.
It's almost Halloween and I want to share this cute border I made using the
Hoppy Halloween cutting file I added a few purchased embellishments to the finished product. The spider border on each side is a punch I have, but I know that Designs on Cloud 9 has a Spider Web border also.
I hope you all have a fun and safe Halloween!
