Happy Happy Birthday

Happy Happy Birthday!! Created this card using another cut out, it's from Miss Kate's Kuttables. Isn't it so cute??? I also used my MISTI to stamp the sentiment on there, over n' over again, because the DSP was uneven, and the MISTI allowed me to stamp it over n' over making it look even. Glad I am putting my MISTI to use now. :) 

With Love In Christ,
Jen

Birthday Mailbox Cupcake Holder

Greetings all... here is an adorable Mail BoxTop Slot I pieced together from SVGCuts.com, and decorated using a Print2Cut image from Miss Kate Cuttables.  I added a circle cut to the middle of the box holder so that I could put a cupcake in there for the recipient.  It was so cute.  The recipient was thrilled to receive it. 

See pretty cool, ya??  Oh well, it was fun to create, and that's all that matters!  Hope your weekend was a blessed one... tomorrow, my Scripture Challenge RETURNS!!!  Whoop Whoop!!!  Please stop on by and be blessed!!!

Aloha,
Jen

Print 2 Cut Happy Birthday

Hey there! How's your weekend going by so far.  Last Saturday, I caught a cold, thus it permitted me from posting earlier this week.  I am feeling better, and God Willing I'll be 100 by tomorrow.  I hate being sick.  But the one thing I mostly hate about being sick is when I have a stuffy nose.  Praise God this time around, I didn't have one. LOL!

Anyways, here is a Print2Cut card I created using some of the Print2Cut items I cut out a couple of weeks ago to sample.  Love this feature.  Great for those that don't have the time to color and cut out.  This will cut any clipart that you have, and you can simply create it into a card.  Kinda like a Hybrid card.  But it's still Oh-So-Cute!!!  This card is part of the card order that I finally completed!!  Yay!!!

The bear holding balloon image is from Miss Kate Cuttables. If you prefer to cut and piece this item, you can do that too.  But as I've mentioned, I was testing out this feature on my eClips machine and cut a few other pieces of clipart, and thus I had to turn them into a project, right?  Can't just let them sit.... because if I did, it'll be sitting FOREVER!!!!

I also cut out a picket fence cut from My Scrap Chick, and added a lil' birdie and Happy Birthday sentiment is from Stampin' Up!

I am submitting my project to the following fun challenges out there:

• Pink Gem Challenge - Pretty in Pink
• Bloggers Challenge - Birthday Challenge
• Frosted Designs - Think Pink
• Pookadoodles Challenge - Birthday
• Sister Act Card Challenge - Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by!!  Enjoy your weekend and be blessed.

2 Monster Birthday Cards

Almost done with my card order.... yep, still working on it!!  But here are 2 more cards for lil' boys, I decided to go with SVG monster cuts for these cards.  Both SVG cuts are from Miss Kate Cuttables. So CUTE!!!  Love how they turned out.  Something about lil' monsters, being so cute for boys.  I know boys aren't really monsters... but when they are cute like this, it just kinda fits.  The sentiments I've used on these cards are from Hero Arts.

Thanks for visiting with me.  Tomorrow is Girl's Day!!  Here in Hawaii, we celebrate it, because there is a huge community of the Japanese culture.  Gotta love the mixing pot that we are all a part of. God has truly blessed me to be a part of this community.  I've got some cute Girl's Day projects and cards to share... come on back tomorrow and see for yourself!!!! OX, Jen

Hau'oli La Hanau is Happy Birthday in Hawaiian

Hey there.... couple of weeks ago, I reconnected with my dear Christian sister, friend, and artist, Julie Fujii through Facebook.  I was so stoked to reconnect with her, because it has been at least 3 or 4 years since we last communicated. God is good.  After a brief break of selling her stamps, she is back at it again, and now selling acrylic stamps, and if you used to use her rubber stamps, you will LOVE her acrylic ones.  I love that they are acrylic, because I can see right through them and know exactly where I am stamping them.  Anyways, after reconnecting with Julie, she sent me some of her stamps to "try out". The name of her company is "Create in Me", of which she not only sells these images as acrylic stamps, but also sells a bunch of cute merchandise.  I was so blessed to receive these, wanted to work on one of them right away, as I knew that I wanted to make a birthday card for a "keiki" or child.  So I used the little "Hawaiian Girl" stamp.  I colored her with my Copic Sketch Markers, and that was pretty much it.  I then used the Triple Layer Birthday Cake from Miss Kate Cuttables, and cut n' pieced them together.  The sentiment which reads "Hau'oli La Hanau" is Hawaiian for "Happy Birthday", is a stamp from Island Paperie, which I got while visiting Maui last year.  :) The embossed diagonal stripes is a Stampin' Up! embossing folder. This card is sized at 5-1/2" x 5-1/2".  I also used some sticklez to add pizazz to the cake. 

 

I had a lot of fun creating with this stamp.  The image is very clear n' her lines are precise and thin!!  I love it!!  Sometimes, the outline of a stamped image is thick, but Julie's image is so clear n' crisp!!  Thank U, Julie for allowing me to test these out.  I thank God for the friendship that we have together, and bringing us back together again.  Looking forward in creating with the other stamps!!  I'll post with them here shortly.

As usual, I am submitting my card to the following fun challenges:

•  Make My Monday - Glitter
• Perfectly Rustic - Embossing (Diagonal Stripes)
• Squigglefly - Square Project
• Creative Card Crew - Stripes (Diagonal Stripes Embossed)
• Papertake Weekly Challenge - Soooo Girlie
• Through The Craftroom Door - Anything Goes

Well, thank you for spending a part of your day here with me.  It's already, Wednesday! So have a blessed HUMP day and rest all of your worries upon the Lord.  He is with you!!  Call out to HIM in all your troubles and in all your praise!!!  KNOW that HE loves you and HE provides for all of your NEEDS.

Blessings in Christ,
Jen

Belle Bird and Blues Bird Graduation Cards - My Scrap Chick

Good Morning All!!!  Here is another card for one more graduate... svg cut from My Scrap Chick, this one is called "Belle Bird".  However, I used the graduation cap from the svg cut from Ms Kate's Cuttables "Wise Owl", and the "Hooray" title is also from MKC. :)

And here is the last of the cards that I made for graduates this year... this cute bird is also from My Scrap Chick.  This cut is called "Blues Bird".  He actually came with an adorable detective's hat, but I decided to use Miss Kate's Cuttable's graduation cap from the "Wise Owl" cut, and replace the detective's hat.  :)  So attracted to lil' bird's being graduates... lol!  What's wrong with me???  :)  The "Hooray" is also a cut from MKC!  :)

Owl Grad Card SVG Cut from Miss Kate Cuttables

Aloha and Happy Birthday, America!!!!  I pray that your 4th of July is going well, and that you are enjoying and having a blessed time with family and friends.

We have a church potluck going on down at the beach today, but it doesn't look like we'll be going, as I'm still tryna fight off this cold.  Praise God that I am feeling much better a few days ago, though.  I hate being sick.  But I hate especially when it's the stuffy head kinda sick.  I didn't so much cough this time around, but my nose would get sooooo stuffy, I couldn't even breathe in the vick's or the essential oils that I rubbed on my chest.  It was crazy!!!  As though my scent department went haywire.  My youngest had the same symptoms.  When he was sick (right before me), he too said he couldn't breathe and couldn't smell anything.  I thought he was lying.  But I guess I got to go through it 1st hand myself.  hahaha... oh well.

Anyways, I finally got a chance to work on some cards for other graduates... starting with these 2 cards. This cute adorable owl cut is from Miss Kate's Cuttables.  This cut is called "Wise Owl".  I cut on my eClips using eCal.  Have been using my eClips alot lately... so proud of myself, because I am finally putting that machine to good use.  :)

I think I need to check the blade on my cutter... looks like it's not cutting my paper cleanly.  :)  I am submitting my projects to the following challenges:

• ArtByMiran - Anything Goes
• Crafty Creations Challenge - Things With Wings
• Repeat Impressions - Fur or Winged Things
• Stampin' Royalty - Keep It Simple
• Through The Craft Room Door - Anything Goes
• Tuesday Throwdown - Anything Goes

Cotton Candy Graduation Gift w/Title Topper from Miss Kate Cuttables

Another graduation project to share... thought that you'd all love these simply sweet ideas.  Here is a Cotton Candy Graduation Gift w/topper created with SVG cut from Miss Kate Cuttables. I simply wrapped this cotton candy container in a cellophane bag, ribbon to tie bow, adhered chopstick to the title topper, and used hot glue to keep in place.  I really love Miss Kate Cuttables, her SVG cuts are so darn cute n' adorable!!  Just my style!!  She is also so very generous with giving out 1 free SVG daily.  :)  

I also made one for one of the boys....

They turned out super cute, huh??? I'm kinda loving the glue thingy... a little bit too much, I think! Hah! Happy Graduation season to all of you celebrating someone that has achieved this awesome milestone in his or her life.  May the Lord bless each and everyone of their path that they are about to take.  May he or she ask the Lord into their lives, if they haven't already done so.  In Jesus Name, AMEN!!!!
