Angry Birds Birthday Card (using the Cricut)

Get ready for a really long post!!!!

 Oh boy did I ever have a fun time making this card.  I searched all over the net for something cute and did I ever find it!  This card originated from 2 Stampin' Up posts that I found.  Unfortunately, I do not own Stampin' Up stuff, so I used their ideas and created an Excel spreadsheet so I would always have what I needed using George and Basic Shapes and Plantin Schoolbook. 

The first thing I found was how to make the pigs.  That came from Valita's Fresh Folds.  She is an amazingly talented woman with lots of great ideas that she shares.

 The next thing I found was the card from Stampin with Niki.  Another amazingly talented woman.

 I cut the banner out of Christmas Cheer at 1" and wrote Happy Birthday.  The grass I just cut with scissors, later realizing that I could have cut a border off of George.  Oh well, still came out cute.  I did pop up a blue bird, the yellow bird, the red bird and the helmet pig.

I love the way this card turned out, just look at the smile on his face!

Tomorrow I will post the recipe for all shapes and sizes :)

Longhorns Football Birthday Card

My baby boy is turning 10 this weekend...I can't believe it.

This card was made with my DS and welded the 10 with Mickey Font. The boy, football jersey, footballs and goal post were cut from Everyday Paper Dolls and the helmet with cut from Sports Mania. The longhorn symbol on the helmet and shoulder pads was free hand...had to cut that one too many times :) I did 10 footballs, because he is 10 :) As always I used Peachy Keen Stamp.

What do you think...looks just like him?

Another Birthday Party, another gift bag. I think I have been taking the easy way out by buying all of Riley's friends gift cards. I cut the bag using Plantin SchoolBook and the ticket and "Cut" sign is from Locker Talk. I love the way this one turned out. The party was a Movie and Sleepover theme. The invitation was a ticket. Thought I would go with the same theme.
