Multi-Purpose Card

 I made this card for a co-work's mom for Mother's Day; however, this could be used for anything really. I used the Cricut Just Because Cards cartridge. I used my white gel pen to add dimension to the leaves. I used pop-up stickers to set the brown background up off the card. Also used the Texture Boutique Dots for the base.

Birthday Card

 I used some brown glitter glue to go around of the outlines, a white gel pen for the border. VersaMark espresso ink around the edges and white sentiment on the inside.
 I used the Martha Stewart Page Punch for the side.

Cake is set up on pop-up stickers. I used the Cricut Tie the Knot cartridge for the Cake cut-out. 

Frame

This is a frame I made for my sister-in-law for Mother's Day. The sentiment is from Creative Memories. The butterfly is cork board that I bought at Micheal's. Pearl embellishments.

Event Ticket Invitations


My co-worker asked me to be creative and come up with some 'event ticket' invitations for her mom's surprise Karaoke party. Here is what I came up with. It took a lot of time on WORD coming up with text boxes. I also used my EZ SEW by We are Memory Keepers to mimic the perforated portion of a ticket stub.
