ShortCuts 3D Friday Tealight box

It's friday!!! All around I see some cute Ghirardelli boxes. Then I wondered what I could put in them instead of chocolate....Tealights! The box had to be adjusted to fit the tealights but it was worth it! ShortCuts full clear sheets are perfect for this project because they have a nice thickness that makes sturdy projects. No flimsy boxes! LOL

Supplies: Full clear sheet ShortCuts, Cup of Stuff stamps-The Greeting Farm, Pantone markers.

Sweet, simple birthday card

This is my attempt as making a card with "as little as possible" embellishements. So I used a ShortCuts clear card to help visually reduce the elements and keep it simple! The more I get to play with clear and frosted cards the more I love them!! You've got to give these cards a try.

Day by day

I thought I would share this with you. It is this past month (March) in review. Weeds and Wildflowers are challenging their viewers to take a picture everyday and create a layout with those photos. I choose to do mine by the month. Here's my first one. Every picture was taken on the day it shows. Some have a little explanation about it.

Love hurts!

Isn't this little guy the cutest little nurse ever?? She's called Love Bear and she's from The Greeting Farm. They are also have a challege "Don't be Square". Which means they are looking for cards that are not square or rectangle in shape. This is what inspired me to make these cards.

I used an embossing folder (Cuttlebug) to make the dimples of the bandaid.

Supplies:Love Bear digi stamp-The Greeting Farm, embossing folder-Cuttlebug, Pantone Markers, Vintage Photo distress ink-Ranger, cardstock-CTMH, kraft cardstock-SU and silver foil-Spellbinders

You take the cake

Well it's the last day of the work week and the first week of April is almost over. Where is the time going?

April's theme for ShortCuts is summer time! That means fun sun sunny cards to brighten your day. I'm in love with this paper set. I can't believe aqua and orange look so good together. And isn't the clear card just perfect for keeping the card light and airy? Just like summer when less is best on those hot hot days!
