Quick Bday card

My son needed a boy bday card.  I had some stamped images that I had colored a while ago. the striped paper is from Costco.  The burlap is from Liz's paper Loft  I used Spellbinders for the center cuts  The stamp is from Dots.  I am entering this into DL.ART Thankful Thursday Linky Party.

BIRD CARD

Here is a quick card that I made with a kit I got in the dollar section of Target.  It came with 3 small notecards, ribbon, gems, stickers and bird embellishments.  I cut up the note cards and put them on a 5"X7" card I made from DCWV paper.  The polka dot ribbon is Celebrate It.  The only other thing I used is my ATG gun.  The bird and the flower are felt.  I am entering this into a bird challenge at CAS-ual Fridays CLICK HERE for more information.

I made this card twice.  Once in green and pink and once in orange and pink.  Love to crop is having an Orange and pink and one other color challenge.  I chose black for my other color.  Check it out HERE

THROW BACK THURSDAY CHALLENGE

Hello,  I am feeling much better today, Still have aching fingertips, but a lot more energy.  Emma at Creative Time for Me http://www.creativetimeforme.com/ is having a "Cricutless Challenge"  She suggests using punches.  My punch collection is very limited.  So I decided to use stickers.  I made glitter paper with Sook Wang double sided tape and Crystal Glitter Ritz.  Then I added Silhouette bird stickers from Elizabeth Craft Designs.  I colored in the birds with Martha Stewart Glitter Pens.  I made a 6X6" card using Colorbok cardstock.  The scalloped edge is a K&Company border that I cut in half.  The square sentiment says :smile"  It is from Heidi Snapp (Blog candy that I won from Lezlye at http://lezlyes.blogspot.com/)  The Ribbon is from Michaels Easter collection.  I used Recollection pop dots, ATG adhesives.  The stickers are K&Company.  I think this will make a fantastic anniversary card

QUICK CRICUTLESS GIFT CARD HOLDER

Over the last few months I have accumulated quite a few K&Company "Sweet N"et Nectar" Pads and border pads.  This card was made with the "Sweet Nectar Die-Cut Cardmaking Pad" and Co=ordinating "Sweet Nectar Specialty Punch-out Pad"  I scored the card 1.5" up from the straighe edge. then folded in half to make card.  Tape 1.5" edges to form pocket.  To front of card I added the ruller border, flower and corners from the Specialty pad.  In the middle of the flower I put a "K & Co flower brad" I attatched some pink ribbon using my ATG tape gun.  I used 3M dimensional tape to pop up embellishments.  I haven't added a sentiment because I don't know if it is for a birthday or a teacher-thank you card.
