Another KRAFTING with KYLIE Episode!

My talented little girl made another card for her "bloggy friends".  She had made this on Father's Day, but daddy took a little time uploading her video.  We've been a little busy.  Anyway, she got a lot of good crafty things for her birthday, and she told me we just have to have another video for her to do.  That will be coming sooner than this last one, I hope.  Well, enjoy, and as always, Kylie and I appreciate you watching!!!!!  I feel bad rushing her all the time, but I don't want the videos to be too long.  I need to chill out, and if you guys have time to watch, you will-right??

Card for Elizabeth.

This card I made is for a little 8 year old girl named Elizabeth who was diagnosed with a brain tumor.  I saw this plea on Raquel's website to send her and her family a card.  If you visit her website at raquelsdesigns.blogspot.com, you can get other details and the address to send Elizabeth a card.

This is what I came up with...

                                               
Come visit me again soon!  Guess what!!!!!  My Editor (hubby) forgot to flip my video so it wouldn't be upside down, and the completed pic at the end is sideways!  I told him, and he laughed.  You still get the idea.  Sorry about that!!!!!!!!

Have a great rest on the weekend everyone :)

Tri-Shutter Tri-fold Card Tutorial...

Here is the Tri-shutter card I said I was going to make...

I am submitting this card in the bugjuiced.blogspot.com follower giveaway.
I am also submitting this into the Wacky-Wednesday #38-anything-goes challenge

What I used:  5 1/2 x 12 brown bazzil cardstock, and layers/patterns are from DCWV Animal Crackers matstack.
Lion is from the Create a Critter cartridge.  I used google eyes and glossy accents on the nose and mouth.  I also added some small circles for extra interest.  Happy Birthday stamp from TPC Studios and enbossed with white embossing powder.  PTI Dark Choc ribbon.  I also cuttlebug'd the lion.  You can see the video for measurements (easier to explain).  OOPS!  FORGOT TO ADD 2 MEASUREMENTS-top and bottom of the middle section cut in blue are cut at 3 3/4 x 1 1/4.  Middle section with the embossed sentiment is cut at 3 3/4 x 2 1/4.   If you have questions, please let me know. 

Hope to see you again soon!

Gina & Tisha's Bunny Hop!

My 2 little cutie pies wanted to be in the Bunny Hop, so here they are!  Tyler (2), and Kylie (4). 

NOW, ONTO THE HOPPIN'!

Well, Hello!  I'm glad to have you here at my blog for Gina & Tisha's Bunny Hop!  YOU HAVE REACHED THE END OF THE BUNNY HOPPIN' TRAIL!  You should have arrived from the lovely and talented Jaqueline from madebyjacqueline.blogspot.com.  If you just happened by my blog, or just came to visit, you can start this awesome bunny hop at the beginning at Tishascraftcove.blogspot.com.  You don't wanna miss any of the craftiness, and yumminess of all of our talented blog hop participants! 

Now, onto my project.  The only stipulation for this blog hop was to have an Easter themed project of any kind.  I chose a scalloped circle Easel Card.  I hope you like it! 

I made this Easel card by welding 2 scallop circles from the Mini Monograms cart, cut at 5.5" real dial size.  I used SU Orchid Opulence.  I printed out an extra scallop circle to be the front of the easel card.  I also cut out the circles-one using the SU Whisper White and the pattern paper for the smaller one (both fit to size on the gypsy).  The rabbit is from Create A Critter, layers cut with Paper Trey Ink Choc Brown, Hibiscus Burst, and White at 3".  Font cut from Birthday Cakes font and Doodlecharms for the egg, then welded them together.  I used PTI White and Hibiscus Burst.  I Popped up sentiment to serve as the stopper for the easel.  Glossy Accents for the  nose, cheeks and ears.  You can't see too well, but I flocked the bunny rabbit-it's so soft!!!!!  I made doodle dots with my Signo Uniball White pen and added Michael's 1/2 pearls in purple.  I used an Action Wobble for the bunny, and added google eyes with lashes.  Super cute, huh?

I have a list of all the BUNNY HOP STOPS in case you got lost along the way...be sure you have visited all of the blog stops, became followers and commented to have a chance to win a stamp set donated by Robyn at My Pink Stamper.  Isn't she the best?!

I made a butterfly card :) I hope you guys like it!! I was working with my 2 year old Tyler in the room with me, Kylie was at Preschool for a couple hours while I worked on this video. I find if I don't just "do it" no matter who is around-I won't get anything done, and then I will just regret it-so you will probably be hearing my children in the videos more often than not. I think it's cute, hopefully you will too!

A card for Charlie!

I was visiting loganscraftymomma.com yesterday, and I was reading about a little 4 year old boy named Charlie that has a sickness called epidermolysis bullosa commonly known as EB.  You can visit Carolanne's link above at loganscraftymomma to get more details, but I made a card for him, and I just wanted to share it with you.

I think it's pretty cute!  I used my new Create A Critter cartridge my wonderful cousin Tisha from Tishascraftcove.blogspot.com gave me for my birthday.  Thanks again Tish!
