June blog hop

Welcome to the monthly Joyful Stars blog hop.  Hop from one blog to the next and see what this talented group of consultants have to show you. When you get back to me you know you went all the way around.  We hope you stop by every month to visit.  

I decided to share with you 4 page layouts that we created in my last scrapbooking layout class.  We did stamping and Cricut cutting.  On the cupcake, the sprinkles were small pieces of paper from my shredder glued on.  Sorry the pictures on these birthday layouts picked up the lights from above. 

Notice how we stamped on the letters and on the red strip in the corners.

"Just us girls" was made using Skylark paper and of course the Cricut. I added resin accessories, baker's twine and aqua dots.     

This is a close up of the Skylark resin assortment that I added to the page.

Happy Australasia

Here are 3 of the four cards we made at class today.  This stamp set is not in the catalog, but it can be ordered.  

D1597 Happy Birthday Australasia
So if you would like this set
just let me know.   

Cricut club

We used Artbooking Cricut cartridge to make this card, below is another version of the same cuts. 

The background is from Fundamental Basic Assortments Z1939
Two sides of patterns, one side glossy resist, basic color palette. 
20 sheets, 2 each of 10 designs.  

Ham & cheese sticky buns

Ham & Cheese Sticky Buns

24 party size sweet rolls or potato rolls
1 lb Sliced swiss cheese
1 lb shaved ham

1 cup butter
1/3 c brown sugar
2 T Worcestershire sauce
2 T Dijon Mustard
2 T poppy seeds 
Slice rolls in half and layer ham and cheese. Place top back on as one unit. 
Melt butter and the rest in the group, boil for 2 min. Pour over rolls and bake at 350 for 20 min.  

Cauliflower soup

We had a delightful, relaxing day at our Annual Spring Fling (card making day)  We changed the menu and instead of tried and true taco soup I decided to make the soup the my daughter made for me on Mother's day.  I think it was a hit and here is the recipe. 
Watch for the Ham & Cheese sticky bun recipe.

Cauliflower Soup

1  med cauliflower
1  med carrot 
1/2 cup chopped celery
2 1/2 cup water
2 tsp chicken or veg bouillon
3 T. butter
3 T flour
3/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
2 cup 2% milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

In a large pot combine cauliflower, chopped carrots and celery, water and bouillon. Bring to boil and reduce heat and cover. Simmer 12-15 min.

In another pot melt butter, stir in flour, salt and pepper. Add milk and bring to a boil over med. heat. Cook and stir 2 min or until thick. Reduce heat, stir in cheese and cauliflower mixture.  Serves 8 Makes about 2 qts. 

May Joyful Stars Blog Hop

Welcome to the May Joyful Stars Blog Hop!  We have a lot to share with you, so enjoy the hop and come back again next month and see what we are making.  

I choose to make Mother's day cards for my Mom and my mother-in-law.  I also like to make cards for my daughter-in-laws and my friends who are mothers.  Who doesn't like to get a card?  

The stamp set that I am using is called Mother's day C1577, this set would also be good for birthday,  red hats or just a Hello card.

I cut the card with the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge. The shape is found on page 37, using the card button @ 5 1/2" and the top shape was cut @ 5" using Decorative layer. The roses and the leaves were cut from any of the cartridges, they all feature spiral flowers and leaves.   

 I backed the opening of the hearts with background texture paper,

 Sooner or later we all quote our mothers, that is so true, when it comes out of your mouth for the first time, you say, "did I really say that?" Here you can see the inside of the card.

Next person to hop to is the very talented Krista, I'm sure you'll love what you see. Thank you for stopping by.

Artbooking Made Easy: Artbooking My Life

April blog hop

Welcome to our April Blog hop, have fun hopping from one blog to the next.  Enjoy all our talented ladies. If you get lost just go the the bottom of this post and you can find your way.  

My card this month is a Bendy fold card that I just taught my class. For the directions go down to the other post showing the card using Ariana and thinking of you.  

I cut out the eggs and butterflies using the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge.  I stamped them with D1559 Geometric Background flair stamp set.
The bunny is mounted with a spring so it wiggles. The Happy Easter is from B1446 Hoppy Easter.  

Any questions just send me an email or post it here.  

Now hop on over to my dear friend, Betty to see what she has made.  

Remember to check back every month on the 10th to hop,

Bendy fold card

This is my first attempt at making a bendy fold card. I love the softness of the Ariana paper.  I used the cricut to cut out the shapes to help accent this card.  

Here is a close up of the flowers I made to hide where the tab fits into the card.  The cards below show how dull a card looks when you take a picture without enough light.  They still show you the mechanics of the card.  Below I will give you the measurements, so you can make one for yourself.   

Below is the card when it's open.   

Start with:
2.... 4 1/4 x 5 1/2  pcs of cardstock (whatever you want the base to be)
Take one of those pcs and cut it the long way at 2 1/4" so you will have 2 long pcs,
Score those long pcs at one end at 1/2". On the other end make a tab (see above picture)
Cut background texture paper to cover cardstock in the following sizes.
2 ....4x 5 1/4"
2.... 4 1/2 x 2 1/4
2.... 4 1/2 x 1 1/2
Glue large b&t to one side of cardstock, measure 4" from the left side on the 5 1/2" length. Line up the 2 1/4 strip along the bottom edge, so you know how long to make the slit.  Cut the slit so the tab fits in it and the strip in flush with the bottom edge.  Glue the scored 2 1/4 strip on the left side with the scored pc on the back.  On that strip, measure 2" from the fold, line up the other strip so you know how long to make the slit. Put top b&t on wide strip and re-cut the slit from the back. Glue the narrow strip on the right side.

Put b&t paper on the rest of your project, don't put glue near the slits.  Decorate the card, if you want the card to fit into a regular envelope be careful not to put the back decoration to high.

Choose 3-D flowers (cut with cricut) or flat flowers to put on side to cover up the slit.  Anything can be used to decorate.
Let me know if you have any questions!

Enjoy!

Card in a box

Here are 2 versions of Card in a box.  The first on is a baby card using Babycakes paper and "B" is for baby stamp set.

Here is a birthday card in a box, these are fun to make.

Start with a 9.5 1/2 piece of cardstock, score at 1/2" , fold in half and in half again or Score at 2 1/8, 4 1/4, 6 3/8. 8 1/2.
Turn and score at 2 3/4"
Take a 3" square same color cs, score at 1/2" on both ends and cut 2 ...1" strips.

Cut half way down and when you get to the half inch end cut that 
 away. You can cut that remaining 1/2" at an angle. 

Fold the 2  1" pcs in a z pattern, glue these pcs inside the box. If you glue the pcs in before you glue the box together it's easier. You know that are right when you and fold the box to one side with no resistance. 

Fold down three of the four flaps, leave the back flat straight. 
Layer with cs 2"x5 1/8" and another layer 1 3/4 x 5"

Mat for the shorter flats are 2 1/4 x 1 3/4"   You need 4 for the top flaps, 3 for the bottom and 3 more if you want to decorate the under flaps.  

Once you have the mats glued on you can add balloons or flowers,etc. Take 1/2" strips of clear acetate to the back panels of the 1" strips, these can be angled, keep folding the card and make sure nothing sticks out, this way you can use a reg envelope. 

March Cricut class

Here are the projects that we made in Cricut class this month.
We used the flip key and learned how to use MM instead of inches.  When we went to cut the owl, the upper layer was alittle to large so by going to the mm, you can scale it down by a small amount instead of using 1/4".  

The picture doesn't show up very good, if you look close we threaded a ribbon through a basket and added grass.  All you need is the Easter candy.
