Love is in the air!

Just made this card using Imagine Better Together cart for the clouds and sun. The clougs are the top of a cupcake... so please do not look for a cloud on that cart lol.  I used my Expression & SCAL2 to cut out the heart border. I just used stock hearts that it comes with. I used swirls cuttlebug folder and Recollection glitter. I distressed with tim holtz. I hope you enjoy this card.
Thanks for visiting my blog and have a great day!

Very Simple Accordion Fold Card

I made this super simple card.  The accordion folded paper is 3x12, scored at every ½ score line on MS Score pad. You can pretty much fold however you want.  I just made a few different folds and this I liked this one.  I also used a floral cuttlebug folder (not sure what the name is).  The card is standard A2 size. I hope you try this out and share your card with me.

Thanks for checking my blog out! Have a great day!

You Make My Heart Sing! with Imagine & Better Together

And Tags Bags Boxes and More! Well, I am having so much fun using TBB&M. Wont lie, I had lost it for a few months (unorganized craftroom) and I offered my twins an extended curfew if they found it. So... they did! I used the heart purse and fit to paged it on a 11X8.5 (65lbs) cardstock paper.  If you are wondering about the 65lbs paper... so am I. I just remember seeing it on a cricut tutorial, they said to use "65lbs cardstock or better" So when I purchase my paper that is what I look for. It really does print nicer than paper I have used before.

Well, I used Better Together for the image and I cut it at 1.5 in.  The border was also pattern paper from BT and I just traced it using my heart purse and cut.

As you can see I am obssed with TULLE right now.  I simply use my ATG gun and Zotz to make a ruffle. Its a bit of work but I love the end result.

I will add you as a friend if you request.

Have a great day!

Gone Wild Card

Here is a new card I made for a challenge on the Cricut Community website. I got the Gone Wild stack on my birthday and I was dying to use the peacock paper.  I also bought a cuttlebug folder set which included zebra, snake, cheetah, and peacock. The peacock is sooo pretty!

 So.. after a lot of thought this is what I came up with. I hope you all enjoy this card.

I Love You Berry Much Box

Hello Crafters! Here is a box I made using Cricut Imagine More & Tabs Bags Boxes and More Cartridges. I cut the box hitting the fit to page feature. The box cut out at 2.25X2.25. I used the scallop circle that comes with the machine and cut it at 2 in. The strawberry was cut at 1.75 in. I distressed the edges of the box, the strawberry, tag, and scal. circle using Tim Holtz distress inc. I also added Recollection glitter to my strawberry top (I used two different greens). If you have further questions about this project please facebook me at http://www.facebook.com/#!/vhallgren1

Hope you enjoy this project!!

It was recently insinuated that I am a paper hoarder. This insinuation is correct and it took my nephews remark for me to realize this. So… I decided to go through my paper and chose paper that I felt I would never use.  The green and blue polka dotted pattern on this paper matched perfect with paper I use a lot. I used green and blue tulle to adorn the bottom of my pattern paper. The “adore” is a free download from svgcuts.com << check them out, they are AWESOME!

 Anyway, I hope you enjoy this card, its dedicated to my whole family, including my husbands family.

Have a great day!

Congrats baby card

Here is a card I made for a client of mine who just had a cute baby girl. I added tulle on the card because I noticed that other craters had been using it on their cards. I have been working with tulle for a long time but I used them to wrap Easter baskets with. They made them look ten times cuter than using cellophane plastic. Anyway, if you want more info on this card, facebook me at  http://www.facebook.com/#!/vhallgren1

I hope you enjoy this card!

I am BACK! Happy New Years!

Well I was unmotivated to create since I got my Imagine, but I believe it is because I allowed it to create for me! I fet I was not expressing my own creativity. So for the past two days I have been working on these pop up cards that I want to use for my moms birthday party. The flowers are cut with my Imagine and I am inlove with them because they are super cute.  The border was cut with a border punch that I got for Xmas.

I had so much fun making them and I know everyone will be excited to get them in July. If anyone wants any information on these cards please facebook me at http://www.facebook.com/#!/vhallgren1 request me as a friend.

I hope you enjoy this card!

PS. For those of you who read Spanish, this is just a trial card, the Spanish errors will be corrected ;)

Happy New Years!!
