Cute Cards for Cat Owners

Well, I didn't make a post on Wednesday as I said I would on Tuesday. Sorry about that. :)

I was in meetings for work on Wednesday and Thursday. Meetings that were 4 1/2 hours away from home. I fully intended on blogging from my phone, that is why I posted that I would post again on Wednesday. Cause I knew I would have some downtime in my hotel room. Well, it didn't work out that way. (does it ever?) Along with internet issues, meeting up with friends and making new ones, time got away from me....

So here is my post that I planned on posting, along with some changes. 

*Although you wouldn't have known that if I hadn't admitted to it, LOL.*

Here are a couple of more cards that I made for the fundraiser for the local humane society.

This one has just a small piece of patterned paper on the left side of the card. I really just "eyeballed" the size of the white card stock with the stamped image. 

Don't you just love that cat??!! So cute!

This little cutie is just as easy. (see a theme here) 

Simple. Quick. Easy. No fuss.

I added a little extra to this card stock with the stamped image. I added 3 score lines to the sides. 

I wanted this one to show more of the patterned paper. So I cut it into a square versus a rectangle like the stamped/scored image.

* I really like that paper *

Hopefully on Sunday I can get back here and show off a few more cute cards.

And eventually a bird.

And a frog.

Have a blessed and crafty day!!

Cute Cards for Dog Owners

Our local humane society invited everyone to set up a table or two at their place so they could have one big yard sale. Monies collected from table rentals went to the humane society.

I couldn't participate because of a previous commitment, so I asked a friend if she would set some of these cards out and try to sell them. She could keep whatever money she collected from sales to help with the heart worm treatment for dog she is fostering.

Here are a couple of the cards that I made. 

I got my inspiration from Get Inspired Crafting with Joanne .

These are so simple to make. Layer a piece of pattern paper that has been cut to fit your card. I like to offset the patterned paper to show some of the white card stock. The patterned paper acts as a border of sorts and helps your stamped image stand out. 

Then stamp your image onto white card stock. Cut the card stock in a square or rectangle. What ever shape looks best for your image. Then layer that on top of the card. 

There are countless number of ways to layer your papers and card stock. I will have a couple of more examples to show you tomorrow. 

Have a blessed and crafty day!

Real Quick Masculine Card

Whipped this up real quick for a friend. 

And I mean reeeeal quick *snap* LOL

You can tell can't you?

The birthday sentiment is crooked. *sigh*

I still like it though. 

Black, gray and white. 

And a hint of color by using a little green.

Clean and simple. 

Just the way I like 'em.

Blogmopolitan Quiz

I don't normally do these questionnaire thingys, but this one caught my eye. I found it over at Lori's Blog and she says it originated from Two Thirds Hazel, who is having a linky party with it. 

I said I would blog more about non-crafty stuff so here we go...

I should have put that one of my Favorite Things 

to be Called would be TammaLee. 

My mom would call me TammaLee. I miss hearing her voice. :(

Head over to Two Thirds Hazel and link up your Blogmopolitan Quiz! 

My First Challenge

.....that I initiated! Yep, My First Vinyl project has blossomed into 

My First Challenge. 

How you ask? 

Well, Over on Instagram I had posted about decorating my Silhouette Cameo with vinyl. My friend Tammy Malone, from over at Not Just Paper and Glue, commented on my post and mentioned that there was a cutting file for the control panel in the Silhouette Store. I knew about it, and also had the free one that came with the free downloads when I bought my Cameo. I have just vinyled (is that a word?) my Cameo and couldn't decide what paper to use for the control panel. And she hadn't done hers either. So I said "you do yours and I'll do mine". 

So, there you have it....my first challenge.... 

Control Panel Challenge

#controlpanelchallenge

Pretty up your Cameo people!!

It's easy to get started! Just find the cutting file (#42907) in the Silhouette Store, or use the free download. The difference is that #42907, from Samantha Walker, 

is scalloped around the edges. The free one is not. 

Before.......

Find the little notch in the plastic cover and take it off. Insert your paper or whatever material you used, and replace cover. There are notches on the the top and bottom of plastic cover.

After......

So easy! No welding, no ungrouping, nothing. Just choose the file, put paper on the mat, load mat, CUT! 

Viola!! A prettied up Control Panel! 

Hope to see you and your control panels over on Instagram!
