A Few New Cards!

Just thought that I would catch you up on some of the fun projects I worked on this weekend when the ladies came to the house!


CRABS!

You can easily come up with a great idea for a card and make them multi-purpose.  I made identical cards and changed them up by just changing the stamp! Here's what you'll need!

  • A2 Base (or 4x5.5 inch card when folded)
  • Colored Cardstock
  • Black Ink
  • Sun - designed with gypsy at 1.12 inches from the Doodlecharms Cartridge
  • Crab cut at 2.5 inches from Create a Critter
  • Crab Shadow cut at 2.5 inches from Create a Critter
  • 4in x 1.5in light brown paper cut with wavy blade (I used my Your Story trimmer)
  • 4in x .5in light blue paper cut with wavy trimmer
  • Adhesive
  • My Pink Stamper Punny-licious stamp set for Crab-u-lous stamp
  • My Pink Stamper More Punny-licious stamp set for the Snappy Birthday stamp


Get WHALE Soon!

  • A2 Base (or 4x5.5 inch card when folded)
  • Whale designed with gypsy and cut at 3.12 inches (NOTE cut top and under layer as well as shadow layer - you'll glue together 3 layers total)
  • Ribbon of your choice
  • Adhesive gems
  • Solid Cardstock
  • Patterned Cardstock
  • Black Ink
  • Adhesive
  • My Pink Stamper Punny-licious stamp set



TOAD-ALLY FABULOUS!
  • A2 Base (or 4x5.5 inch card when folded)
  • Ribbon of your choice
  • Patterned Cardstock
  • Solid Cardstock
  • Frog cut from Create a Critter at 3.5 inches (don't forget to cut the shadow as well!)
  • Lilly pad designed with gypsy - patterned paper cut at 3.82 inches
  • Lilly pad designed with gypsy - black paper cut at 4.06 inches
  • Adhesive
  • My Pink Stamper Punny-licious stamp set
These were all super easy to make and I've learned from my friend Sue-Ann when making cards it doesn't take much effort to make multiple, that way I can always have extras on hand to send out or give at the last minute!

Thanks for stopping by Crafting with Meg!
