I'm finally getting into making videos for YouTube.  Here is a video that I made last year but didn't know how to piece it together until now.  It is a video on how I made the ladybug card that I posted in November of last year. I hope you enjoy!!!! Happy Crafting!!!!

ALL paper is from The Paper Company Value Packs. The first card was made for my brother for his birthday.  It is the standard measurements that I always use for my cards.  The base of the card is 5 1/2" x 8 1/2".  The light blue layer is 5 1/4" x 2 1/2" and the brown layer is 5 1/4" x 2"  The pieces were attached using my ATG gun.  I covered the "seem" of the two pieces with a piece of grosgrain ribbon attaching it to the back with Scotch tape.  I cut the dinosaur at 3 1/2" using my "Create a Critter" cartridge with my Cricut Expression and attached him using 3D-Dots.  To finish it off I used a My Pink Stamper stamp from her "Simply Sweet Occasions" set with a Stampin' Up! Classic, Chocolate Chip, stamp pad.    This card was made for my nephew for his birthday.  All of the paper dimensions are the same for this card as the one above.  The dinosaur was cut from the same cartridge as well.  The se...

I'm re-posting this for Challenge #118 on Paper Cutz Challenge's Blog.   The base of this card is a piece of green Papertrey Ink cardstock cut at 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" and folded in half.  I cut a piece of blue cardstock from The Paper Company's Value Pack at 2 1/2" x 5 1/4" and ran it through my Sizzix with my Cuttlebug Snowflakes A2 embossing folder.  I then used my ATG gun to attach it to the top half of the base of the card.  I used a piece of DCWV paper from their 12 x 12 Glitter Stack paper pack, cut it to 2" x 5 1/4", used a Fiskars' Threading Water boarder punch on it and attached it to the bottom half of the base of the card using my ATG gun. I used my Cricut Expression with my "Winter Frolic" cartridge and The Paper Company Value Pack cardstock and cut the ornament at 3 1/2".  The hook and the star on it were cut with DCWV white glitter paper from their 12x12 Glitter Stack paper pack.  I attached the orname...

I made this card for my nephew's birthday this year.  I figured this was a good fit for him since he loves his dog soooo much!!  His dog is a black lab, but I thought this dog was really cute. ALL paper with the exception of the polka dot paper is from The Paper Company's Value Packs.  The polka dot paper is from DCWV's Nana's Kids Matstack. For the base of my card I started with a piece of blue 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" cardstock and folded it in half.  I then cut the polka dotted paper at 4" x 5 1/4" and attached it to the base of the card using my ATG gun.  I then used a puppy paw print stamp from My Pink Stamper's "Even More Punny-licious" stamp set with a Stampin' Up! Classic Basic Black ink pad to add little puppy prints all over the page.  I also used the same stamp pad with another stamp from the same set for the sentiment on the card, "Yappy Birthday". I cut the puppy, the present and the party hat a...

I made this card to give to a couple of good friends for Halloween. ALL cardstock is from The Paper Company's value packs.

I used the "Mini Monsters" cartridge with my Cricut Expression to cut the Grimm Reaper.  I cut him at 3 1/2" and added a shadow to him to add a little more to it and to make it stand out more.  I secured the ghost to my card using 3D-Dots to make it pop off of the page, making it the main focal point. Then to finish off my ca...

I made this card for my niece's birthday this year.  I used the Pooh and Friends Cricut cartridge to make this card.  This card is actually the project that they tell you how to make in the booklet that comes with the cartridge, so I'm not going to go in to detail on how I made it.  I did cut everything 1" smaller then you are told to in the book. ALL paper is from The Paper Company's Value packs. For my sentiment I used a stamp from My Pink Stamper's Birthday Crazy set with a Stampin' Up! Classic Chocolate Chip stamp pad. Happy Crafting!!!!

I made this card for my sister-in-law's birthday.  I hope I'm not jumping the gun by posting it, but I mailed it last week so she should have it by now.

I created this card for Scrappy Moms Stamps Terrific Tuesday Challenge .  You were suppose to use either the "Campin Critters" cartridge or the "Nifty Fifties" cartridge, but if you don't have those, as I currently don't, they said you can use a similar cartridge.  So I decided to use the "Create a Critter" cartridge.

This is a birthday card that I made for one of my nieces.  I started with a 5.5"x 8.5" piece of cardstock, folded in half for the base of this card, the paper is from a value pack by The Paper Company. For the first layer of this card I used a piece of 5 1/4"x 4" cardstock, also from a value pack by The Paper Company.  I attached this layer using my ATG gun.
