A Birthday Bear and a Song

 

Hello!

This week is graduation week for my daughter and we've been busy, busy, busy getting ready for family and friends to descend on our home.  In the midst of all that, my niece is having her 4th birthday this weekend and I want to share the card I made for her. 

I used Cricut's Teddy Bear Parade cartridge.  I've had this cart forever it seems and this is my first time using it. 

  I love it!  I used papers from Stampin Up and the patterned papers are from one double sided sheet of Echo Park's Birthday Boy. I used Crystal Effects to give the balloons a real-life effect. 

Okay my crafty peeps, I'm off to get this kid graduated and celebrated!! Have a fantastic weekend!!!  I'll leave you with a little musica. 

Have a lovely day!!!

Materials Used:

Happy For You

Hello there!

I hope you all enjoyed your weekend.  I enjoyed mine so much, I hate to see it come to an end.  I did some crafting this weekend and even managed to catch up on some reading too.  Today I'm sharing a graduation card I made for a coworker's daughter.  She just graduated from Pre-K.

I used Cricut's Create A Critter 2 cartridge to cut the doggie image at 2 3/4" and the word cloud at 1 3/4" and the same cut 1/2" smaller.

Since this card is for a little girl, I thought I'd add some pink paper and stickles to make it sparkly.  I even put it on and Action Wobble just for fun.

Since it's a big time celebration, I thought the confetti paper by American Crafts was perfect. I hope she likes it! 

 

Thanks for stopping by today!!!

Hello!

I hope you're having a good week. The week for me seems to be cruising along and that's just the way I like it!  I told you all earlier this week I have a several graduation cards to make and here's another one.

  A co-worker and cardmaking buddy of mine let me use a few of her stamps to stamp off some images and this is one of them. I used copic markers to color the image.  I'm still practicing my coloring so bear with me.  :-D

The sentiment stamp is by Stampendous.  I purchased it as a backup in the event I get too busy to die cut, or stamp and color images. With this sentiment stamp, I can go CAS with the cards to get them done in time.   The next few days will be super busy for us with family and friends in town for my daughter's graduation.  So exciting!!

 

Thanks for stopping by today!!!
