Taylor's 1st Birthday Party!

[Edited to add: You can find the fixed up version of this card here.]

My little guy is going to his 1st non-family birthday party tomorrow. The invitation was covered in Disney princesses so I thought I'd break out my Once Upon a Princess cartridge (for the Cricut) and my Gypsy to see what I could cook up.

The eyes are the freakiest! Not sure how to fix it. Not all white cardstocks are created equal and this was an unknown source that was more compatible with Cricut cutting than my usual Stamper's Select. The Copic coloring turned out horrible! I even used the airbrush system to try and blush the cheeks... can hardly tell with that awful skin!

I tried some two-tone hair... don't know if I like how it turned out.

The banner and font are from Lawn Fawn.

Smudged the sentiment but I had fun with the Make a Wish set from PTI. Love, love, love it!

Lots of Layers

I had fun with layering on this card. I inked the edges of the white mat, and the scalloped circle with distress ink and embossed the red mat and the small white heart using Swiss Dots embossing folder, I embossed the black mat using the Heart Block folder. The white circle was cut using my Cricut from a previous project. (Love left over scraps) I think I should have left the ribbon off :(

Be My Valentine

I like overall how this card turned out but messed up on my placement of the ribbon :( oh well, as my fellow crafters would say "It's handmade" ;)

I had fun using my distress ink around the edges of the scalloped circle, I haven't used this technique in some time. I love these little birds and finally got to use them :)

Bulk Thank You's

With my move coming up soon, and all the people that are helping me get boxes, pack, move to storage, and ending with the cleaning, I knew I'd need a number of Thank You cards. I came across 9 pieces of green cardstock pieces that were all the same size left over from a class I taught a while back. They weren't sized to any predetermined card size, but were big enough to make cards with. I was also able to use up a little more of my scraps with these cards.

Now, many of you will know that I'm having difficulties with the new used camera I purchased. Once again the images are not clear. I debated whether or not I should post them. I hope you don't mind. This first one, I think, is my favorite of the 9.

I'm just going to post the rest of the pics without much commenting.

 

I kind of like this next one too.

And this one's not bad either.

And this next one as well as the one following..

 

These next two I'm not that crazy about.

 

 

Well that's it for the 9 cards. Hope that there might be some inspiration in here somewhere for you. Well I guess I had better get back to my job hunting for Victoria. But, please let me know which one is your favorite (that is if you can see it well enough). Thanks for checking in today and happy crafting!
