June Crafts

Happy Fabulous Friday!

I love me my Fridays!  ;)

So...this past month I worked on 2 crafts one for my brother's b'day and another for my father for Father's Day.

First up is my brother's b'day and here is the card I made him for this year.

Inspiration came from a Cricut Magazine issue Feb 2012.

Supplies: Recollections brown, white and black cardstock; Stampin Up shades of green cardstock, sentiment stamp, balloon; Cricut Cartridge Pagoda;  The Twinery red/white twine; blue rhinestones; Martha Stewart red glitter; adhesives

And three days later was Father's Day and here is out my mind created this year for my dad...

A beach/surf shack!!  :)  I've seen wood birdhouses at Michael's store for a while now and one particular style reminded me of a beach hut.  So...for the past 4 years I have hand crafted a Father's Day gift for my dad and thought this would be a great gift for his office.

Supplies: Cricut cartridge Life's A Beach; Michael's Store birdhouse and sea shells; acrylic paints shades of brown and green; real sand; cardstock from various companies; Recollections metallic gold pen, Local Sew Store green trim; Stampin Up hemp twine; adhesives.

I LOVE THIS TIKI FACE!

That was it for the month of June.  Currently I'm working on a 4th of July wreath.  Stay tuned for that.

Have a crackle bang boom Independence day!  ;)~

Birthday Card

Provo Craft has come out with a magazine dedicated to the Cricut/Imagine machines; called "Cricut Magazine."  Every so many months they come out with special issues; "Cricut Birthdays" and "Cricut Cards."  These magazines has opened my creative mind to new ideas and inspiration.  I was inspired to make this card after seeing it in the "Cricut Cards" issue; by Stephanie Ackerman.  When you can; go check out her work!  :)

Here is my creation:

Cricut cart used was  Life's A Beach (both out/inside); also Stickles were uses to embellish the flower and mermaid's top. The half perl in mermaid's hand is from Stampin Up's Pretties Kit.

I used Stickles to also embellish the sea shell board.

I will post two more projects tomorrow.  At the moment need to get back to getting ready for my "day" job.  Hope everyone had a great weekend!
