A blast from your past!

Hi Everyone. I know I have not been around much at all. Not that I didn't miss everyone, I just got a new toy and it has been taking more time and attention than my card making.
I bought an embroidery/sewing machine and have been learning so much. I do want to post my new business card/tag since I did make it using my card making supplies.

I will be posting pics of some of my customized pillows, shirts, towels, bags, etc. I am also going to start a new blog page and I do want to invite you all. If you can offer any suggestions or other related blogs to follow, I would be grateful.
Thanks everyone!
I will also be selling a LOT of card making supplies. Including a cricut imagine that I never used. Lots of Kraftin Kimmie stamps, dies, copic markers, stamps, inks, etc. Please pass it along to anyone who might be interested.

I mustache you

This is a get well card I made for a friend/client. He once grew a mustach that was not necessarily flattering and I teased him about it. It really cheered him up.

I kept it clean and simple and just used an inkadinkadoo stamp and a sentiment I found on a google search. I cut the frames with nestabilities and added some googly eyes that I had in my stash.

The inside sentiment was also found on google.

He put a ring on it!

This time, I used my cricut Imagine machine. I tried to hook up to the craft room, but still not successful yet. I do enjoy using it, but there is an upward learning curve I've yet to master. Having fun trying though.

I made this Engagement/Birthday card for my cousin, who is a self proclaimed "shoe slut" - like me.

Her fiance bought her a pair of coveted shoes AND an engagement ring for her birthday.

I used the Weddings cartridge. A Darice embossing folder was used for the background. I added some stiching. She loves ankle straps so, I used a ribbon and some bling from my stash.

You're Purrfect!

While I was away on my cruise, I hired my salon neighbor, who owns a pet grooming shop, to come everyday to look after our cat.

This is a thank you card for her.

I used an "inkadinkadoo" stamp set- all about cats, and heat embossed with Martha Stewart pink embossing powder... The papers and card stock are from K and Company the ribbons, roses and bling are from my stash.

Happy Anniversary

I finally finished organizing and setting up a craft studio. Now I am able to use my long neglected, cricut machines.

This is an anniversary, easel, card I made for my brother and sister-in-law. I used the Weddings cartridge to make the bride and groom silhouette. The papers and embellishments are from my stash. I used my heat embossing tool and silver embossing powders for the sentiments.

This is what it looks like when closed:
