Sizzix & Cricut Pop-Up Tractor Christening Card

 This probably isn't your typical Christening card, but I was asked to make it by my farmer friend who's friends have decided to have their little boy Christened.
I used the Sizzix Pop n Cuts Horizontal A2 Card with Circle Label for the base, and a tractor from the Cricut Boys Will Be Boys cartridge.

For the background I used Papertrey Ink clouds, sun from L'il Inkers, and the stitched hills and cloud layer from Karen Burniston's Nature Edges die set.
I printed out the sentiment and used some Sizzix Framelits for the sentiment layers.

Back/Side Porch Ideas For Summer and An Industrial Pipe Curtain Rod How To

Image
Hey there!  When we first found our home 6 years ago, I was absolutely in love with this side porch off the kitchen.  At the time of course, it looked awful because it was in the middle of being renovated, but, I saw what it could be.  I pictured pots of delicious herbs just waiting to be harvested for cooking, a cozy table to enjoy lunch or a morning cup of tea or coffee, or just a place to sit and read.  Funny thing was, it wasn't until now, 6 years later, that I finally filled the porch with those things.  I have no idea why. We have a large vegetable garden in our backyard, complete with herbs, so, it never occurred to me to also have some on the porch.  My hubby came home the other day with a crate that he found beside the road that I just loved.  I had it sitting on the porch for a few days waiting until I decided what to do with it when I realized how much I loved it on the porch.  And an idea was born; fill it with unique herbs that I don't have in my vegetable garden,

Reclaimed Wood Kitchen Shelving - Reveal

Image
Patience.  Not a word I would use to describe myself when it comes to projects.   My husband would agree.  :) Remember this wood I showed you last week ?   Imagine my surprise when I cut into it and realized it was pure gorgeous walnut. Well, my hubby and middle son went out of town this past weekend for a sports event and I decided I was going to get to work on the project I had in mind while they were away  so I could surprise him when they returned.  The walnut discovery had me so excited, I just couldn't wait to get started. Silly me thought it would be something I could easily tackle myself. Wrong. While I show you pictures of the finished project, you should know that getting to that point was somewhat of a nightmare. For starters, I couldn't get the previous cabinet off the wall.  So, I had to call in a neighbor to help out with that after I fell off the counter.  Because the wood is so extremely heavy, I really had no idea what kind of brackets to use. My lack of bracke

Pop It Ups 'Cocoa the Horse' Unicorn Birthday Card, from Karen Burniston's Farm 2 Collection

Image
Hello! I'm back with a card made with a die I love from Karen Burniston's new Farm 2 Collection from Elizabeth Craft Designs - 'Cocoa the Horse'.  I animated Cocoa on the Lorna Label PopUp card, and added a cut-by-hand unicorn horn and shadow, to make a very sparkly pink unicorn card! I hand cut clouds to add to the front platform of the Lorna Label, and added stars cut from a Tim Hotlz die onto strips of clear acetate. The rainbow and individual clouds are from a Sizzix die set. I used a Sizzix On the Edge die for the scalloped edge, and a Birthday die from Marianne Designs. The papers are from My Mind's Eye. Just to show you some of the layers a bit better... I had so much fun designing this card! The Cocoa the Horse die just gave me so many ideas! Here are three cards I made in my 'Cocoa the Horse & Lorna Label' set! I'll show the other cards in greater detail in future blog posts... Product Links:
