Happy Birthday Henry and Emma!!!

I made these Lori Whitlock tri-fold box cards from the Silhouette store #76755 and #76649, respectively, for Emma and Henry. I used the new 100lb whisper white from Stampin' Up, love it!!!  The patterned paper is from Doodlebug.  I used MFT Grape Jelly and Lemon Drop cardstock.  The sentiment is from My Creative Time and stamped with Stampin' Up Daffodil Delight and Concord Crush inks.  I added My Creative Time stitched tags and stitched buttons.  Although you can't see it in the picture, I edged the butterfly and balloons and coloured below the stars with my Wink of Stella clear pen to add some sparkle.

Take care and have a great summer,
Caroline  :)

Happy Birthday Mum Box Card

I made this Lori Whitlock box card using my Silhouette (design #56779) for my Mum's birthday.  I love Lori Whitlock's designs.  The paper is Doodlebug and MFT smooth white cardstock.  I used Stampin' Up rhinestones and coloured the rhinestones with Copic markers. The sentiment is from My Creative Time and stamped with Stampin' Up Baja Breeze ink.

Take care and have a great day!!!

Happy Mother's Day

I made this cute Mum tri-shutter card using my Silhouette (design #77934) for my Mum for Mother`s day. I changed the front of the card using stamps and dies from My Creative Time and the Sizzix Embosslit Beautiful Wings and Baja Breeze ink from Stampin` Up.  The cardstock and patterned paper are from Stampin' Up.  

Take care and happy Mother`s Day!!!

Tri-fold Bunny Box Card

I made these Lori Whitlock tri-fold bunny box cards from the Silhouette store #76643 for Easter this year. Stephanie liked them so much that she asked me to make this card for our co-worker who welcomed a baby boy on April 1.  I added My Creative Time stitched tags for all of our wishes of congratulations. I used partial die cutting to make the tags about a centimetre shorter.  The cardstock is MFT Smooth White. The patterned paper and ribbon are from Stampin' Up. 

Take care,

Caroline :)

Christmas Ornament 2014

I made Christmas ornaments this year instead of cards.  This ornament was created using the Papertrey Ink Make It Market: Tinsel and Tags kit.  I love Papertrey Ink's stamps and dies.  I cut the layers using my new Sizzix Vagabond!!! The glitter paper was originally white, but I inked it with Pacific Point Stampin' Up ink.  I stamped the sentiment with Garden Green Stampin' Up ink.  Each layer has coordinating stamps, so I'm looking forward to creating some colourful snow globe ornaments.

Take care and Happy New Year!!!

Fiona's Panda Birthday Box Card

I'm finally posting Fiona's birthday card.  Her birthday is close to the end of November. These Mama Elephant pandas are so adorable. The box card is from a Lori Whitlock Christmas card from the Silhouette store. The lanterns are from the same Mama Elephant Pandemonium stamp set.  I coloured the lanterns with Tim Holtz distress markers. The tag and sentiment are from My Creative Time.  I'm not bored with these box cards yet, so I'll definitely be making more.


Take care and happy holidays,
Caroline  :)

Stephanie's Monster Birthday Card

Stephanie loves the Monster Mash stamp and die set from Lawn Fawn, so I knew that I wanted to use the this set for her birthday card.  The monsters are coloured with copic markers.  I added some sparkle with my wink of stella clear pen and used glossy accents on the eyes of the orange and yellow monsters. The Halloween haunted house box card is design #66166 by Lori Whitlock from the Silhouette store.  I love how this card turned out!!!

Take care and have a great day,
Caroline  :)

Whooo's Birthday Card

I'm still having fun making box cards.  I used two different Lori Whitlock files from the Silhouette store because I love the box templates that have fun edges.  I changed the sentiment from thank you to happy birthday.  The branch and leaves are from Miss Kate's Cuttables svg files.  The patterned paper is Doodlebug Happy Harvest 6x6 paper pad, and the cardstock is Hot Fudge from My Favorite Things.

Have a great day!!!
Caroline  :)

Flower Birthday Box Card

This box card is for one of my best friends.  I used another Lori Whitlock card from the Silhouette store. However, the flower centres and butterflies were made using My Creative Time dies.  I can't get enough of her stitched dies. The patterned paper is Doodlebug.  I love Doodlebug!!!  :)

Take care and have a wonderful day,
Caroline  :)

Henry's 12th Birthday Card

My Godson turned 12 this month, almost a teenager, the time is a flying by!!!  I just love these box cards by Lori Whitlock from the Silhouette store.  I'm now getting requests for box cards for upcoming birthdays, so I'll definitely be making more in the near future.  :)

Take care and hope that you had a wonderful day!!!

Emma's 10th Birthday Card

I made this card for my Goddaughter . . . double digits already!!!  I love these box cards by Lori Whitlock from the Silhouette Store.

Take care,

Caroline  :)

Happy Birthday Henry!!!

I made this cute little card for my Godson's 11th birthday.  I used Create a Critter 2 and Creative Cards Cricut carttridges. The patterned paper is from LOTV Candles & Cake 8x8 paper pad. I used MFT smooth white and steel grey cardstocks. The bottom of the party hat is a small piece of tinsel ribbon.  I added faux white stitching around the banner, but I can't find a photo with the stitching.  LOL  :)

We had a great time at Henry's family birthday party!!!  Star Wars Lego is always a hit for both the lttle and big kids.  ;)

I have entered this card in Seize the Birthday’s Anything Goes Challenge.

Have a great day,

Caroline  :)

Happy Birthday Emma!!!

I made this card for my Goddaughter who turned 9 years old this month.  Sorry, I didn't take a great photo with my phone.  I've been having fun using dies again.  I used the Simon Says Stamps Circle Friends stamps set and coordinating tri circle die.  The banner is Simon Says Stamps String of Hearts, and I covered two of the hearts with My Creative Time stitched buttons (love the stitched button dies!!!).  I added a little bit of sparkle with my Zig Wink of Stella clear brush tip marker.  I embossed MFT Sweet Tooth cardstock with Sizzix Hearts embossing folder and then inked the hearts with Stampin' Up Blushing Bride ink.  The patterned paper is from Basic Grey Kneehighs 6x6 paper pad.

It's a beautiful, sunny morning here.

Take care,

Caroline  :)

Happy Birthday Mum!!!

I'm loving Lawn Fawn stamps and paper and My Creative Time dies! My Mum loves to feed the birds and squirrels in her backyard, so when I first saw these Lawn Fawn stamps, I knew that I had to use them for a card for her.

I entered this card in the Anything Goes challenge at the Simon Says Stamps Challenge Blog.

Have a great day!!!

Tim Holtz April Tag

I made this tag while attending the "Giving a Scrap About Autism" crop today. I had a lot of fun at this great event and used my Tim Holtz Distress Paints for the first time.

Take care,
Caroline :)

Congratulations Stephanie!!!

Stephanie recently received a promotion to Assistant Manager at the hotel.  A woo hoo and about time!!! Tee hee hee  :)  I made this card during a fun and relaxing scrapbooking day with a bunch of great ladies.

I'm currently taking Clean and Simple Card Making 2 at Online Card Classes.  I used the sketch from Day 1 and the gradient stamping technique taught by Jennifer McGuire on Day 3.  After seeing the technique, I search through my stamps and realized that I didn't have any multiple level stamps. I used a border stamp from CTMH Togetherness and 3 Stampin' Up inks.  The sentiment is from CTMH Cricut Artiste Collection Kudos.  Clean and simple cards are not my normal style, so I'm dying to add something else to this card.  Thank you to Donna for the scalloped border suggestion.  I may add ribbon or pearls or sparkle or . . .

Have a great week,
Caroline  :)

P.S.  So, I decided to add pearls.  I'm happier with the card now.  :)

Fiona's Birthday Card

I got the idea for this card when I purchased the Spellbinders Nestabilities - Square Swatches from DAT'S Scrapbooking.  I'm going to miss having a local scrapbooking store.  :(

The stamps and patterned papers are from LOTV. . . love them!!! The bear is coloured with copics, and I paper pieced the present. I inked everything with Stampin' Up Night of Navy. 

I'm entering this card at Lili's Little Fairies Challenge - Anything Goes.

Have a great day!!!
Caroline  :)

Henry's 10th Birthday

Double digits already!!! My little Godson turns 10 this week.  Henry is an excellent bowler.  He has attended the junior provincial and national championships with his team.  I've wanted to make him a bowling card for a while. 

The bowling ball and pins are cut from the Nifty Fifties Cricut cartridge.  I coated the bowling ball with glossy accents to add shine and dimension.  The papers are from the Bo Bunny It's My Party collection and double dot cardstock that I purchased from DAT'S Scrapbooking.

Have a great week and take care,
Caroline  :)

Emma's 8th Birthday

I had a lot of fun creating this birthday card for Emma.  Emma loves bugs, so I have to find a grasshopper cut for her next card.  I love the bright colours of Summer Days Echo Park paper that I purchased from DAT'S Scrapbooking.  The butterfly is from Create a Critter and on an Action Wobble.  I used my new Peachy Keen Everyday Character Face Assortment stamps for the face.  I love these stamps!!!

Have a great day!!!

Donna's Baby Book - April

When one of our friends has a baby, we each contribute pages to make a baby album. I was assigned April, and luckily I had this Easter paper. TJ is such an adorable and happy baby!!! I can't wait to see these pages with his pictures some day.

Take care,

Caroline :)
