Pirate Birthday- Twisted Easel Card

Hello everyone!  Hope everyone is enjoying their week so far...  Today I am taking a group of kids to a Poetry and Prose event about 45 minutes away from my school.  I am also taking them out to eat at McDonald's afterwards.  Then tomorrow, I am going to be taking my class on a field trip... We are going to watch a movie at the movie theater!  I hope I'm strong enough for this!  Just kidding, I actually have a pretty good bunch of kiddos this year...  Anywho, it's my design team day over at Joy's Life.  Our challenge this week was to create a card with an interesting fold...  I have made one of these twisted easel cards before, and I thought it would be fun to make another one!  :)  The video I watched is HERE...  Hope you enjoy!

Thank You Card for Physical Therapy

Hey everyone!  Brace yourselves....  I actually made a card!!!!  :)  Woo hoo!!!!  My mom came over today and asked if I could help her make a thank you card for her last day of physical therapy.  I told her "no problemo" and this is the little beauty that we came up with!  She had knee surgery back in August, so you can see that this little skeleton comes complete with a titanium knee cap!  :)  Hope you enjoy!

Poodle Card & Mermaid Card

These are a couple of cards that I made for the NSD challenges over at mypinkstamper.com
I really like her website and I LOVE her stamps.  They are really nice quality and they even smell kind of good! :)
The first card is a poodle card which I submitted in the "pet" project category:

This is an A2 sized card (8 1/2" x 5 1/2" folded in half)

Create a Critter cartridge- Poodle cut at 3"

Cuttlebug Perfectly Paisley Embossing Folder

Sentiment: My Pink Stamper stamp set- More Punny-licious

Poodle face is from Peachy Keen Stamps- Wide Eyed and Bushy Tailed Face Asst.

Fuzzy Fun Flock: Cotton Ball White

Stickles: Star dust (my favorite!)

Black Swiss Dot Ribbon

Black mini brads

*On my Gypsy, I hid the face (so I could add my own using those ADORABLE stamps) and flipped the image.  Once the image was finished cutting, I cut the poodle's nose off with my scissors (I just tried to round the face so it would look natural)....

The next thing I submitted was this mermaid card (in the summer themed project).

This is also an A2 sized card
Cricut Cartridges used:
George and Basic Shapes for the bubbles
Paper Doll Dress Up: Mermaid cut at 4"
Cuttlebug Spots and Dots Embossing Folder- blue background
Cuttlebug Swiss Dots Embossing Folder- sand
Sentiment: My Pink Stamper Stamp Set- More Punny-licious
Mermaid Face: Peachy Keen Stamps- Everyday Character Face Asst.
Pearl embellishments
Stickles: Lime green, star dust

These were fun to make, hope you'll give them a try! :)
