Action Wobbles Card for Ewe

Happy Thursday! 

And hello to all you wonderful wobble-lovin' folks! I have a fun card to welcome Spring...just for EWE!

To make my card, I started with a 5x5 card base. Using my Silhouette, I cut the adorable sheep (Rainy Day Sheep by Lisa Norris, #56613) out of heavy white cardstock. I use white cardstock so I can better control the colors of the elements using Spectrum Noir markers.

To make the flower, I stamped the stem using a stamp from Stamps by Judith, and a flower from Rubber Stamp Tapestry. The dragonfly is also RST.

I added a computer journaled sentiment in a cloud that I designed in Silhouette by merging two flowers together. I added an Action Wobble so the cloud could sort or shake out the raindrops!

Glossy Accents were added to the hat and boots, and I created some shiny raindrops as well.

For the inside of the card, I added another computer journaled sentiment on white cardstock with the edges inked.

I hope you enjoyed my card and are inspired to try some Action Wobbles, which can be purchased from The Scrapbooking Queen. And join us over at Action Wobbles every Wednesday for our Wobble Challenges! So much fun. So many ideas.

Til next time, keepin' it crafty!

It's Action Wobble time! And we are even doing a blog hop!!

NOTE:  Everyone on the hop is in different time zones, so if their post is not live yet, try back later!

Art Impressions has a fantastic set of stamps designed specially to use with Action Wobbles. These sets are so much fun (and can be purchased through the Scrapbooking Queen). I had a blast working with the set I received. Here is my card:

This card just cracks me up. The whole Shake Your Booty line from Art Impressions is a hoot!

To make this card, I double stamped and colored the "booty" and cut just the rear end part out of one of them. I attached a wobble to the butt and the butt to the booty. Judy with the booty. Oops. I don't know her that well. I better call her Judith with the Bootith. (Any "2 Broke Girls" watchers? That's where this Judy with the Booty came from...cracks me up!)  Sorry, I kind of drifted there.

I then used my Silhouette to cut out some "quote bubbles" and hand lettered some phrases. The fence was also cut with the Silhouette and stamped with some floral stamps from Rubber Stamp Tapestry. I sponged the front of the card with some green and light blue inks to resemble grass and sky. All the pieces were then adhered to the front of the card.

For the inside, I stamped another section of fence and adhered that to my stamped and colored "granny" head/body, so she looked like she had just stood up on the other side of that fence. The sentiment, "Let's face it, Aging is a pain in the rear!" is also part of the stamp set. Each set comes with the wobble booty, the head and a sentiment, and an Action Wobble! There are several to chose from.

And a little video of the granny fanny wobblin' away....

Cards, Cards, Cards

Busy, Busy, Busy!

It's been a busy afternoon here in my cozy lil craft space.  I've been amazed at how many wonderful visitors I've had on my blog thanks to the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog.  I've even gained a few followers, and I'm hoping for more.  After all, you all are why do this!  Blog, I mean.  I'd be doing these cards no matter what!  Passions work that way.  Yup!

Anyhooooo, I did another card for the 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown.  This theme was to use "Triple Time Stamping".  If you don't know what that is, or if you want to learn how to do it, check out this link HERE. 

But before I jumped into my Christmas card, I wanted to try the technique out.  And since my mom needed a wedding card for a wedding next weekend, what better opportunity than that?!  Here is what I came up with:

I just used black and white cardstock (Recollections) and stamped the background in Sky Gray Colorbox Chalk using the French Script background stamp from Stampin' Up!  The outside sentiment is from Stampendous, and the inside ones are from Stampin' Up! (top one) and Embossing Arts (bottom one).  I added a couple of Dazzles from HOTP.  I love how it turned out!

The next card is the one for the 52CCT.  I went a little outside the box and rather than doing rectangles, I did circles.  I cut one circle at 2", 3" and 4" and the solid circles were cut at 1/8" larger than each stamped circle.  The stamps used were from my vast collection of Rubber Stamp Tapestry stamps.  The "JOY" was done with alphabet stamps from Image Tree.  Here it is:

52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown

And the final card is just a fun one that *popped* into my head.  I was going through my collection of Stamps By Judith and came across the mouse and the mason jar.  A lightbulb went off and next I was pulling out the cheese stamp and some grass and...voila!  It all came together.  I love the colors too.
 



Well, after I had it all stamped, what was I going to do with it?  All I could think of was "Say Cheese", so I printed a tiny label out and mounted it.  Then on the inside I added:

Clever, eh?  I thought so.  Mi queso es su queso!  My cheese is your cheese.  HA HA HA HA HA.  Ok, so maybe it's not that funny.  Wait!  Yes it is!  HA HA HA HA HA.  LMBO!

So, I think that's it for today.  Tomorrow is Monday and back to work.  Glad I got to enjoy my crafty time this weekend, and hope you did too!  Happy Crafting!

Hey There, Sunshine!

Had another creative evening.  Worked 13 hours yesterday and was too darn tired to do ANYTHING. But today, I just new I couldn't stay away from my lil craft room.  I have to admit, this card took me about three hours to do.  The putting together part doesn't take too long, it's the planning and sizing and laying out.  But since I like the end result, I'm going to say it was all worth it.

I have a very dear friend who is battling inoperable brain cancer.  (Hey, McQzy, if you're reading this, I love ya, girl!)  My motivation as of late has been making cards to try and cheer her up.  She is amazingly strong and her faith is unmovable.  So, along with many prayers, I am trying to let her know how often I think of her by sending her a card every few days or so.

Here is my lil sunshine card for Suzy McQzy....




There is something a little extra special about this card....You have to see the sunshine wiggle!!!

 
I got these new little Action Wobbles that I ordered from Amazon.com and they are a hoot!  I've made my own before using thin wire, but these are SO easy! It's a little plastic spiral with a sticky circle on the top and the bottom.  Genius!  This is what they look like:

 

 

I can foresee MANY a wobbly element on my cards in the future!

OK, so, this is what I used for this card (I'm trying to remember to write things down in case anyone is interested, although I'm not to the patience point of tracking cut sizes yet, lol).

• Sun - Wild Card cartridge
• Sunglasses - Everyday Paperdolls
• Snail - Create A Critter
• Background paper - Cricut Tags, Bags, Boxes & More
• Sentiment - This & That from Creative Time
• Grass & Flowers - Rubber Stamp Tapestry

I have decided to enter this lil card in a contest over at K Andrew.  You can find her here: http://www.gettingcricky.com/.  Please visit her blog.  I'm sure you will find lots and lots of ideas and inspiration there.  I also entered it in the Fantabulous Cricut: Challenge Me Monday contest.  More fantastic ideas and inspiration.  Check them out at: http://fantabulouscricut.blogspot.com/search/label/Challenge%20Me%20Monday.

I hope you enjoy YOUR sunshine!  Til next time, I'll be keepin' my fingers inky and my Cricut chirpin'!
