In the past 3 months, 2 students left our school, so I made farewell cards for them. One girl is into goth/industrial metal, so it was easy to come up with a design.
Then for a boy who was moving back to Philippines… I really like the printed card stock. I have to see who makes it. I am not in my craft room now, so I will check later.
A friend of mine gave me a classic guitar tab book, so I used a card with guitar as a thank you card. I embossed it with a retro embossing folder and Cuttlebug. And I used a silver pen to write a message.
I was going to my friend’s daughter’s 5th birthday party and knew she likes Sesame Street. So of course, I had to make a card with Sesame Street characters. I used print/cut feature of Cricut. Love this feature!
We were going to my husband’s friend’s 50th birthday party. I don’t know him that well, so I could not think of anything, so I decided to make flowers for a box card. It is a bit of work, but I love how they turned out! I also etched shot glasses, but I can’t find pictures of them…
Again, my in-law was getting rid of this dress they bought in Africa. I knew it is not something I would wear as is, but I took it anyway.
Then I realized I needed a yoga mat case and thought the dress is perfect for it. There is an amazing embroidery around the neck line, so I decided to keep that area as an opening. I got a lot of compliments!
Ever since I got a serger, I had lots of ideas…but never had time. But I finished one a while ago! It has been a couple of months, but I am finally posting photos.
When my mother-in-law was downsizing, she was getting rid of this shirt and I knew I could do something with it. So originally, it was size L. I pinned a few places and changed the front part from straight opening to diagonal and moved buttons. The dress form is not perfect, but it sure helps to have it.
After. I am pretty happy with it.
I wanted to make a birthday card for my sister-in-law (I think… She is my husband’s step brother’s wife) who rides bicycle a lot.
So naturally, I wanted to include a bicycle on the card… and she loved it!
I really like the printed card. It was on sale at Joann’s, but I can’t find it any more… 🙁
My husband is into surfing and loves ocean creatures, so I knew what I wanted to make…
A box card with a surf board and octopus, whale, sun and a wave!
It is so much to make box cards. I love it! This time, I shorten the box a bit, but I still had to make 7″x7″ envelope…
I have a friend who loves Snoopy, so I wanted to make a birthday card with Snoopy on it. Well, my first attempt failed…
My husband thought it was cute, but I just was not happy with the quality. So I made another one. This one is going into a recycling bin. 🙁 Oh, well. Sometimes, it just does not turn out how you imagined.
So this is another one I made.
I am much happier with this. I found the outline file (black party), but it had nothing else… so I created other parts. “Happy birthday” banners were purchased a while back before I got Cricut, but I just wanted to used it.
Lots of birthdays in Aug…
I made this wedding card first and then saw a box card for wedding and I had to make one, so I ended up with extra wedding card. good thing I don’t have their name on it! I want to start making extra card I can sell, so it is a good start…
