These were some fun cards that I made for my mom to give to her quilting friends. I used papertrey kraft cardstock for the base card. The sentiment is also from the same set as the blocks, quilters sampler. I used a making memories heart brad. Fun cards to make.
I thought I would post the picture I took this morning of my favorite bird I have coming to my feeders. I just love cardinals. They are so pretty.

I talked my mom into getting this set for me, so I could make cards for her quilting friends. I think this is one of my most favorite sets yet from papertrey. I cuttlebugged the background, and then used my scor-pal do divide the cuttlebug part and the plain part. Used a prima flower, along with my favorite martha stewart punch, thread a button, and voila a cute little quilting card!
This was a fun card to make. Sometimes I forget about sets I have. I colored it with my newest toys the 'copic markers'.. gosh they are great! I used the nesties for the scallope circle for the boat. Ribbon, red eyelet to match the life preservers on the boat. Stampin up photo corner punch, and of course that gorgeous basic grey paper!!

THis is another one of my favorite Riley stamps, all of them are so darn cute. I just love how he is sitting back, relaxing, and about to enjoy a cupcake. Cuttlebugged, scor-pal, stampin up paper. Colored with prismas/gamsol.
This is the first thing I attempted to try and do with my cricut and vinyl. I think I am hooked on vinyl now.

This was such a fun card to make. I cuttlebugged the back, and paper-pieced his little sweater. I think I will be doing that more often, it just adds so much more to the image. I always like how it matches the designer paper.


This was my first attempt at sewing on a card. Still have mixed feelings on it. I like the way it turned out, but I need the practice. (Still trying to figure out how to keep the sewing machine set up somewhere so its always accessible.) Not too bad tho, cuttlebugged of course, and nestie'd too. (is that even a word???)
I have found that two of my favorite tools now are my cuttlebug folders, and the nestie dies. I love them both! I used 2 different cuttlbug folders on here, and the nestie circle to cut out. I love it.
