Disney Pixar "CARS" Birthday Card on Track

This is a birthday card I made using Disney Pixar "CARS" cartridge.
I had to make a stand for the front end, and it is simply the track with a few slits in it.
The stand on the back was traced from a purchased card stand.
It slips in a tiny pocket I added on the back end.
This allows the card to be disassembled and stored flat...separate from the track.

-The car is McQueen2 pg 32, cut at 6"H.
-Track is from Cars cart and welded on Gypsy.
-Happy Birthday is from Martha Stewart Elegant Cake Art cart pg. 37.
-Font is from Martha Stewart Elegant Cake Art cart, and is called "Dinner At Eight".
-Black posterboard was  used to make track.
-Yellow posterboard was used to make card base.
-Cardstock, Glimmer Mist, Stickles, pop-dots, red-liner tape, & Tacky Glue.

BITTY TREAT CUPS

These r treat cups I gave to 12 co-workers

In this instance, it's better than a cupcake wrapper, because this one cuts a bottom too.

-Crescent shape used to weld grass to was from MARTHA STEWART ELEGANT CAKE ART.

DOG with FRENCH FLAIR

This is the birthday card I made for my other twin cousin who loves dogs.
This little dog seems to have a "FRENCH FLAIR", so I chose papers that I thought coordinated with the design.
-DOG (5.75") is from FOUR LEGGED FRIENDS.
his Chapeau & Vest are made w/ K & COMPANY
(Tim Coffey Cottage Garden) cardstock.

-FRAME (6.25) is from WINNIE THE POOH and Friends.

Here is cat card I made for the one who has a black cat.
I think Google Eyes & Rhinestones are my fav accents.

Butterfly Card

Here's a super quick card I made for my sister's birthday.

-Butterfly from Home Accents
-DCWV  "The Black Currant stack" cardstock
-Stickles in the butterfly cutouts

*I used a different cardstock, but the idea came from somewhere on the net.

DECORATED ENVELOPES

Lay enevelopes underneath your cricut cutouts.
When you Glimmermist the cutouts the excess spray isn't wasted.
Don't forget to decorate the back of the enve too.

12x12 scrapbook page "My Granddaughter"

I scraplifted the layout from

Shabby chic layout

I'm trying to do a layout I found on http://www.scrapbook.com/.

It's very shabby chic!

I Glimmer Misted these branches cut from from various carts(K & Co. paper).

The pink flowers were mostly cream colored Primas. The green ones were just improved w/olive Glimmer Mist.

  Here's what I have done so far.



Custom Garden Seed Packs

I love to share seeds from my veg garden w/ friends. So, ofcourse I had to make custom enves.

CAROUSEL HEXAGON EXPLODING BOX

I made this box as a birthday card for a co-worker. We all signed it underneath  the inner pages. It's basically a butterfly theme.
I used:
- DCWV MARIOSA stack
- K & CO SUSAN WINGET NATURE stack
-Mary JO Recker'S WILD BUTTERFLIES RUB ONS
- BRILLIANCE COPPER and GOLD ARCHIVAL INK PADS
- MARTHA STEWART PUNCH
 Note: For some reason, I couldn't get the lid to fit the box precisely.
I changed the sizing a bit, but still, the lid was a bit too large. The pages do have a bit of a gap beween them.
I got the idea from the site below.
