U R AMAZING! Card & a special Guest today!

GOOD MORNING my creative friends! Today I have a "CAS" card for you! For those of you who don't know what a "CAS" card is, well ( I just found out myself not too long ago) it is a "Clean and Simple" card!  I thought this was a PERFECT card to make since Father's day is this weekend! I only used 3 items & I just LOVE how it came out!  It is a simple 3x3 cards which I LOVE because 3x3 cards can be made so quickly & they are just as cute! IF you do mail them, I would just put your little card into a regular A2 size card, THEN mail it off!  I don't think the post office accepts the 3x3 envelopes to mail off! You can see the supplies I used below.

Supplies used:

~ "It's all about You" stamp set

~ "What's growing on?" set

~ Sequins (Joann's)

Okay, now onto my AMAZING Guest designer today!  I am sure you ALL remember the OH SO VERY TALENTED, Mr. Trell, right?  He has been so busy working & I am HAPPY that he was able to do this today! ;)  Here is a "hint" of his card & trust me, it is BEAUTIFUL! He used "Floral Sentiments", "Journal it" & the "Stitched Journal Die"! Go ahead & head on over to his blog to see this PRETTY card in it's entirety & he also is sharing a GREAT technique as well!

3-D Wednesday ~ Banner

GOOD morning & welcome to our first 3-D Wednesday for 2013! I am SO happy to be back on track again! Okay, let's get right to it! First of all, I used my "Gypsy Girl" AGAIN today!;) I used the "Artiste" cartridge to make the base of my card! Today we were all supposed to make a banner of any sort of our choice! This picture is what the sentiment looks like on the inside! It is from "You had me at Chocolate"!

As you can "see" (hehehehee) I used my glasses die as a banner! I "was" supposed to add other hanging elements on each end of the glasses, but I mis-measured my card, so they did not fit:( Which is totally fine because I still love how it came out! I explained in my video how I designed the card base in my "Gypsy Girl"!

Supplies I used:

~ Artiste Cricut Cartridge

~ What's Growing On? (glasses)

~ 100% Sweetness (large stitched heart)

~ Build a Banner set 

~ Stitched layering heart dies

~ 6x6 Lucky in Love paper pad

~ Red thin hemp

Okay, well, I decided to keep this simple, but classy looking enough where you can make these for your co-workers, stocking stuffers, little Secret Santa gifts..etc....AND they are perfect for your child's classmates & not to mention...teachers! You can see in my video below EXACTLY how I put this together!
