Amy Designs Christmas Cards

I got these cards done back before thanksgiving and I've been waiting forever to post them!! I finally sent them out this last week to my family and friends.

This one I sent to my good friend Ashley (I think I did a previous post on this one)

This one I sent to my BFF Meghan!!!

This is a general card I made for a few family members

I will be giving this one to my grandparents when we see them this week before they fly south for the winter. I thought the Santa in a innertube fit perfectly! I will miss you guys!!!

I call this one my masterpiece card. It's got the most bling blaooow!! I loves it!!! 

Adding Titles

It's official my cricut was packed up this morning and I took it to fedex to be returned. But last night I spent 4 hours cutting out these letters. Yeah... I'm nuts. I should have just waited for my new machine but I'm totally addicted.

Challenge #36 Achoo! Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog

This is my very first time entering a cricut blog contest!! Whoo hoo!!!! I'm super excited about it!! I blogged hopped all day yesterday and found http://fantabulouscricut.blogspot.com/ where a bunch of wonderful ladies like myself are all great with the cricut and do challenges and inspire eachother to create such great things. So this weeks challenge is making a feel better soon card. I am getting into the holiday spirit and my son watches shrek all the time so I busted out my Stretch your Imagination cart and went to town! I altered Gingy's legs a little to look more like the one from the movie. I also used Storybook for the background of the sentiment and then computer generated the sentiment. I hope everyone get's a laugh out of this like I did. I think if I use this card for someone the inside will say, "Hey it could be worse...just look at Gingy!" hahaha!!!

Making the old school.... New School!!!

Well I guess my old school really isn't that old school if you really think about it. I just started getting my scrap on this last april!! I busted out my sons baby scrapbooks and they are all "pre" cricut and you can totally tell. All I did was cut up such beautiful paper, photo mat the photo with very blunt corners and maybe put a 1 inch border with some patterned paper on one side. They do look nice but there not me anymore. So I'm dusting them off and pulling the pages out and adding some cricutbling to them! This is gonna take me a long time. But so far the benefits are looking amazing. Check out my first page! I revamped my sons very first easter by using the create a critter cart and the storybook cart. Materials used were Stampin Up cardstock and DCVW glitter pack. Thank you for taking a peek.

Ahoy Matey!!!

This card was made for my totally awesome cousin Doug. I made his wife (she is my blood relative) a card first the purple squirrel card my first post and then I made his kids cards so I couldn't leave Doug stranded without a card man!!! I picked this cute mini monster because I'm hoping when he opens it he laughs. If I can get a smile then I'm happy.

I used the mini monsters, plantin schoolbook, and storybook carts on this card. Cardstock was stampinup and dcwv glitterstock, I also used some other cardstock that was left over from my sons baby album but I can't remember the brand name. I pop dotted the sentiment on the front and the monster. Now let's get to the pictures!!! muwahahaha!!!

This pic was taken with the flash on. It shows the glittery goodness as I would call it.

I removed the flash for this picture to show the shadowed effect of the pop dots.

Another non flash picture. I think they turned out pretty darn cute!!

Very simple inside but I like it. Viola and it's done!!

Sending Cards to my cousins

I made these cute little cards for my son to send to his cousins up north. I used my all time favorite cart create a critter!! I used my box of scrap paper it has stampin up, dcwv, k&company, me&my big ideas, generic micheals and hobby lobby cardstock and the list goes on. I also used pop dots and my two favorite glues are the blue stick (that's what I call it) and my pink atg gun. They are the best (for me) glues to get the cleanest cricut characters. I also inked a sentiment and inked the edges around the shape of the sentiment. I really enjoy making cards for my family and friends.

Box O Scraps

This is my first post!!! Allthough it's my first atempt at joing the cool world of blogging it's not my first attempt at joing the oh so awesome world of scrapping, card making and the wonderful world of cricut!

I made this card last night or should I say this morning. The whole process ended at about 1:30AM. I got started at about 11:30 with this idea in my head that I need to make a card out of my left over scraps that I have in a 13X15 container. Their kind of just sitting there starring at me saying, "Hey Amy were still pretty play with us!!"

So I made this card for my cousin and totally forgot to take the pics before I wrote the note on the inside. I won't make that mistake again! hahaha!!!

Here is an attempt at the supplies list. I used the create a critter cart (loves it!!) from the cricut library. I cut the squirrel out at 4 3/4 and the nut is cut at 1 3/4. DCWV for the background paper on the front and inside of the card and for the sentiment on the inside of the card. A mixture of cardstock used for the squirrel Stampin Up, Hobby Lobby store brand, Michaels store brand I think it's called Recollections. I also used alot of pop dots! Gotta love em! I hope ya'll enjoy my rambling and my crafts!!! Thank you for checking me out.
