Today I wanted to share a couple cards I have made using the Silhouette Cameo.  Man, I love this machine!  The first two cards are the tri-fold step card.  This was my first time making one, (well, actually two).  They are really cool and easy to make.  My cousins, who happen to be brother and sister, graduated on the exact same day from High School and College.  Can you believe that?!  What are the chances of that happening.  Did I mention they live in Cali and my cousin attended University of Notre Dame in Indiana.    Enough about my family, here are the cards. 

This card I used the Close to My Heart Later Sk8ter paper.  I wanted to go for a
male looking graduation card.  So, I thought this would work and I did not want
to use the traditional graduation colors.

Stamps used inside are from Pink By Design-Enjoy the Journey

This is the tri-fold step card I made for my other cousin that just graduated

from Notre Dame.  I still used the Cameo, but decided to try the print and cut

feature.

The stamp I used inside is from CTMH's -For Every

Occasion

Our Kreative Karma-Wham, Pow, Splaz

Welcome everyone! 

Sorry to post so late in the day, I feel like I have an eight year old birthday hangover.  LOL.  Today is my oldest daughter's birthday and as it happened it was also to the weekend that my husband's family came out for their quarterly visit.  Needless to say, it has been quite busy.

Today, I get to post for my dear design team Our Kreative Karma.  Our theme this month is Fun, Sunshine and Smiles.  I  went into this month thinking I would use my day to showcase a birthday card for my daughter with mermaids.  But then I went to a scrapbooking retreat last weekend and had so much fun scrapbooking my son's 5th birthday filled with superhero's.  :)

I hope you enjoy the layouts. 

 

 

Roxybonds CTMH Chantilly Blog Hop

Welcome to the Roxybonds Scrappers Team Blog Hop!

 

 

We will be featuring artwork from the Chantilly Paper Pack. 

If you have come here from Catherine's blog, then you are on the right path. Your next stop will be Emma's Blog

Today I have created a layout using the Chantilly papers.   I found this photo of my mom and daughter from a couple years ago.  We had spent the day at Disney's Magic Kingdom and were on the boat back to our hotel.  I found it endearing that my daughter was in MY mother's arms so tired from all the fun.  Of course, I had to snap a photo or two.  I just wanted to remember this moment.

My photos for this layout are not the best, I will try tomorrow and retake them.  I think it is mainly the glare from the photos.

 

 

I wanted the photos and simplicity to be the focus.  I still need to put a title and my journaling on the page.   I was having trouble coming up with a title but I think I might go with "Happiness is...being with you".  I am going to cut this title out with the Twilight blue paper that

matches this Chantilly set.  I will make sure to update this post later tomorrow after I cut out the title.

 

 

Products used for this layout were, Chantilly paper pack, Twilight Ink, Chantilly embellishments, Prima flowers and some brads.

 

Thank you for stopping by today.  Come back to see how my title turns out.  :)

Now hop on over to Emma's Blog for your next stop.

CTMH- Roxybonds Later Sk8ter Blog Hop

Welcome to the Roxybonds Scrappers Team Blog Hop! 

  

We will be featuring artwork from the Later Sk8ter Pack. 

If you have come here from Catherine's blog, then you are on the right path. Your next stop will be Jen's Blog.

 When Close To My Heart came out with their Spring and Summer Idea book, I was so excited for this paper packet.  I loved the bright and fun look for this paper.  Of course, my first thought was all for my boys, but then Jen asked me to join her Blog Hop for this paper packet, and I wanted to try and make a card without going the 'boy route' to show the diversity of these papers.

Here are my two cards that I made.  One was a gathering project I made for a Craft Fair a couple weeks ago, and the other card was made as a 'thank you' for a friend.

 

All paper if from the CTMH Later Sk8ter paper packet.  The stamp sets I used were Puns Of Praise (love this stamp set!!!),  the Later Sk8ter stamp set and bling that come with the Workshop on the GO kit, Outdoor Demin ink, and the SEWeasy floss of white and gray. 

 I could not find my CTMH twine, that I really wanted to use. 

 I also stamped Thank You on the inside with CTMH For Every Occasion set.

 

 

Now hop on over to Jen Patrick's blog for your next stop.

A Pinch Of Love

Happy Tuesday everyone!   If you came from Our Kreative Karma, thank you for stopping by.  I love when it is my day to post for this awesome team.  :)

How weird is this week with Mardi Gras, Ash Wednesday and Valentines' Day all falling within the same week?! 

This weekend I received  my box of goodies from Close To My Heart for my first craft fair this weekend.  (yikes!)  And I could not wait to play with one of the new stamp sets called Under the Sea.  I saw this crab and thought it would be so cute to use it as a fun and easy card for Valentine's day.

The paper is from K&C Company, Pinch of Love and frame stamp are from CTMH, the sentiment on the inside of the card (which I just realized I forgot to take  a picture of...) is from K. Andrews Designs.  I know this is a quick post but I hope you enjoy the cuteness.  Feel free to email or post any questions or comments you might have.

  Hugs everyone!

Our Kreative Karma

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!
Welcome to my first monthly post with my new design team, Our Kreative Karma!  Yahoo!!  I am so happy to be back with fantastic and talented group of girls.  If you stopped over from our new blog site www.ourkreativekarma.blogspot.com, welcome and if not, make sure you check out our new blog and all my crafty sisters.

Here is my project for today.  I wanted to finish scrapbooking my fall layout of my first field trip to the Orchard with my son.  We had an incredible time, and got some great pictures.



I am sorry the pictures are blurry, but I am having trouble with blogger and my photos.




For my layout, I used paper from Recollections Fall and Night packet, a couple of the stickers are from Jolee's Boutique.  I also used Provo Craft's Cricut cartridges Happily Ever After for the pumpkin and vines, and the Cricut Lite Yee-Haw for my "Tracker Crossing" sign.  And I could not let my layout go without any stickles and bling.  :)

Thanks for stopping by.  If you have any questions feel free to ask. And if I can fix my pictures today, I will stop back in and correct them. 

Have a blessed weekend.  See you soon.  And don't forget to check back in with Our Kreative Karma every day to see a new designer and a new theme each month.

Hugs!!

Tess
