My husband and I have external hard drives for backing up our computers and he thought it would be a good idea to create something to personalize them. I came up with the monogram idea and used some vinyl to make them. I used Fontopia to cut the "S" and "P" out of vinyl. The "S" is cut at 3" and the "P" is cut at 2 3/4." I think they turned out quite well and my husband thinks they look really cool! Yeah! Always a win when I can impress my husband. :)
This shaped card turned out really cute! I used Baby Steps to cut the little toy, twice, at 6." I then adhered the heads together and folded it at the neck. I cut it again in the dark green and cut off just the antennae. I adhered all the layers down and gave it a Peachy Keen face. I added some freckles and chalked the cheeks for some "blush." I also covered the eyes in glossy accents for some shine. I tied two pieces of floss into bows and adhered them to the base of the antennae. I used Stickles on the bulbs of the antennae and the dots on the base of the toy. The antennae have mystic green Stickles and I used pink and cotton candy Stickles on the dots of the toy base. I used a Scrappy Moms stamp for the sentiment, then finished off the card with strings of pearls between each layer of the toy.
I just have a quick little announcement! I have been asked to become part of the Perfect Sentiments Design Team and I have accepted. I will start designing for their challenges in September, so be on the lookout for my first post on September 5th. I hope you decide to play along with out challenges as well. :)
This pretty little card is 4 1/2"x4 1/2." I used a navy blue cardstock for the base. I then cut some patterned yellow cardstock, from the Lemon Flower Stack by DCWV, 1/8" smaller and adhered it on. The next navy blue square is 3 1/2"x3 1/2." I cut some tan cardstock 1/8" smaller and adhered them to the card base. I cut three strips of cardstock and trimmed them all with a scalloped scallop punch by EK Success. I used the navy blue, tan, and a turquoise patterned cardstock, which is from the Citrus Stack by DCWV, for my strips. I cut three navy blue butterflies from Tablescapes - Spring & Summer at 1" and three from the patterned turquoise. I adhered all the navy blue butterflies and one of the turquoise butterflies above the strips. I then used some pop-dots to adhere the second turquoise butterfly. I added some yellow and dark blue gems to the centers of the butterflies. I finished off the front of the card with the sentiment, which is from Fiskars and stamped in night sky ink by Tsukineko. 
I created some treat bags. I used a sandwich sized bag and some jelly beans that I got for a steal! I used Elegant Edges to create the bag topper. It is cut at 7 1/4." I then used Sentimentals for the "bee happy" phrase, cut at 1 1/2" and the bee from Create a Critter, cut at 3," with the Peachy Keen face of course. I stapled on the black label, then glued on the white layer. I used pop-dots to adhere the bee for a little dimension. 
This card is 5 1/2"x4 1/4" and I made it with the fold at the top. The red and gold polka dotted patterned cardstock that I used for the card base is from the Gilded Orchard Stack by DCWV. I wrapped the card with some shimmery gold ribbon. I stamped my ornate angel on white cardstock and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder. I matted it with some gilded cardstock, also from the Gilded Orchard Stack, then adhered it to the card. I stamped my sentiment on white cardstock and heat embossed it with gold powder. I then matted it with some gilded cardstock and adhered it to the card with pop-dots. I finished off the card with some gold pearls on the angel. I rounded the corners of all the elements as well, using a corner rounder from Fiskars. 
Here is the gift box I made to wrap up the t-shirt I made for my cousin's daughter. I used Sweet Tooth Boxes to cut the box. It was cut at 11." I used Cricut Craft Room to hide the circle in the scalloped lid. I liked the scallop, but didn't want a hole in it. I used the digital cartridge, Banners, to create the banner. It is cut at 2 1/2" and I inked the edges with pink chalk ink. I used Cricut American Alphabet to cut her name at 3/4." I covered them with glam pink Stickles. I adhered the banner to the box with pop-dots in the middle and glue dots on the sides. I used Mother's Day Boquet to create the daisy. The largest layer of the flower is cut at 5" and the smallest is cut at 3." I gave it a cute little Peachy Keen face. The bee is from Create a Critter, cut at 3 1/2." I also gave it a Peachy Keen face and adhered it to the box with two layers of pop-dots. Her bows are covered in glam pink Stickles and her wings are covered in diamond Stickles.
