A Weekend Full of Cards

I had a nice relaxing weekend....just a lot of house cleaning and crafting! My favorite kind of weekend (except for the house cleaning, but it needs to be done!)!

I am really on a card making kick lately and got the chance to sit down on Sunday and put together a few cards...

A birthday card....



I love this little robot shape! I cut it with my Silhouette...



I stickle-glittered his little heart and used enamel accents for his pupils...I love the enamel accents (from Ranger) they almost look like little glassy beads!



I popped the robot off of the card using a little bit of coiled wire...it's super adorable the way he shakes and shimmies!

A Thank You card (much belated...)



The cloud and lanterns are another Silhouette shape...and the cloud stamp, a new Hero Arts favorite!

A New Home card...



More Sillhouette shapes...these houses are super cute! The "Enjoy" embellishment is also from Silhouette, it is one of their print&cut shapes...and it looks like the sun tucked behind the little fabric cloud (I can't remember who makes that, it came in a kit...).

And finally, a card-like Welcome sign for my craft-room door...



The Lucky Kitty, you guessed it, another Silhouette shape, and the Welcome is cut on the Silhouette using CK Ali Edwards font...my go-to font lately! In fact, the ability to cut fonts from my computer was one of the biggest selling point for the Silhouette...

There is space at the bottom of the tag to hang something...I'm thinking three red tassels...but maybe not, that would just be an open invitation to the cats to destroy my Lucky Kitty sign...

I'm such a fan of my Silhouette cutter, and their designs are getting better and better every week! I love how detailed and intricate it can cut, these lanterns are less than an inch and the symbol inside is still soooo detailed! I love it!



Well, in addition to card crafting...I have been laboriously re-organizing the craft room...and am so close to being finished I can taste it. I just need to get another work table (I have my eye on one from Ikea...) and then I will share pictures...I can't wait!
