Giraffe Baby Card

What a weekend!  I have to say I have gotten a lot done.  Including this one of a kind baby card.  This person gave me the gift bag she was using and I was able to match it up with the Create A Critter Cartridge.


After I created the Giraffe, I got to thinking...this needs something.  I searched through my other cartridges and had to think outside the box for a minute, and I landed on the Paper Lace.  I cut 3 leaf borders at a .5" size and layered them, using green and yellow.  The falling leaves were from the punch outs from the leaf border and glued them randomly on the card.  And then debossed Bundle of Joy.  This card is great for a baby shower or birthday or an announcement.  If you would like this card, or something similar, just leave me a comment and I'll be happy to get back to you.  My prices are reasonable, and the quality is great!

I'm working on more Thank You cards - more to post later.

Thank You Card - Easy as 1,2,3

If you're anything like me you like to have cards on hand for just about anything...especially Thank You Cards.

For my first "how to" I'm going to show you an easy Thank You card that won't take you long and looks like it took hours - beautiful and elegant. Give someone that did something nice for you or gave you a gift a hand crafted card that comes from the heart. If you're like me you send out a lot of Thank You's and need to have a few on hand. Here is my full proof Thank You card! Here is a picture of what you will need ---



Step 1: Use DCWV Lemon Flower Card stock 6.5" x 4.5" Cut the card stock to size to fit the blank card you chose. In this case I'm using a yellow blank card.

Step 2: Use Cricut Story Book "Thank You" and cut it size 1.25" with the Navy Pearl. This only comes in sheets of 8.5" x 11 - but you can re-use this paper for just about anything. Glue "Thank You" horizontally on card at the top.

 Step 3: Punch 3 Butterflies out of green polka dot paper from same card stock pack - DCWV Lemon Flower. Glue Butterflies on a diagnal upward from bottom right corner That's it! Easy as 1, 2, 3! You can create several of these cards to have on hand, or if you're in a pinch it's fast and easy.

Welcome to my Blog

Hello everyone and welcome to Frogeeze's first blog. I have been creating cards for the past year and I continue to work on my craft. I truly love making cards, and hand-made cards say something a bit more special than a store bought card. For those of you who are not into crafts as much I do sell my cards on find me on facebook, or you can just email me. I create all kinds of cards - sympathies, Thank you's, Get Well, Easter, Baptism, Christmas, Wedding Shower and Baby Shower Invites. Having a girl's weekend? I also creat invites for that much needed get-away. And if you're looking for something specific just email me and I'm sure I can come up with something for you. I invite you to read my blog and hopefully I will inspire you to create as well! Thank you, Frogeeze
