Yeti Birthday Card

It's my DT day over at My Craft Spot and I'm sharing a fun card I made for a colleague (who has become a good friend too).  We have a running joke between us about yetis and mustaches - so I made her a card with a yeti with a mustache!  I love being about to use my Cricut and Silhouette to make such personalized creations.

The yeti is from Campin' Critters (as is the mustache), although I brought the images into my Silhouette software in order to easily add the mustache to create an offset shadow.  I used the Fancy Edges metal dies set to cut the purple layers at the bottom of my card, embossing the top layer with Cuttlebug's Spots and Dots folder.

The sentiment is from Stamping All Around Spring - as are the footprints.  (They're supposed to be for sweet baby feet but they go well with the Big Foot idea too!!)  I used three different dies from the Tiny Doilies metal dies set for my sentiment as well.

I finished my card by adding some Perfectly Purple sequins.  Tiffany LOVES her card and has it display on her desk.

Thanks for visiting!  Have a wonderful day!

DAD - UR the Best!

This week at My Craft Spot, we are getting ready to celebrate Father's Day.  I don't have a father, but I am blessed to have a wonderful husband who is the father of our fabulous children.  My youngest son worked with me to create this card for his dad.  I love having a crafting buddy!

I used some burlap to create the oversized banner and stitched along the edges.  My son ran the background through the Cuttlebug (he loves the Cuttlebug as much as I do!) with a chevron folder from Stampin' Up.  I cut the mustache from Mustaches and Glasses and the DAD letters from Go Canada.

My son cut out the little star tag layers from My Craft Spot's Lacy Banners metal die set.  He also chose the sentiment which comes from My Craft Spot's Tiny Tags 2.  I had initially wanted to use the U Rock sentiment (from the same stamp set), but my son looked through the stamps and decided that UR the Best was the better choice, telling me that his dad IS the best. We finished things off with some fun googly eyes and extra thread around the card. 

Please head over to My Craft Spot to check out the creations by the rest of the design team and to link up your own "Dad" creation for a chance to win this week's prize... some fabulous baker's twine!
