New Card Designs

Celebrate the sun with these bright summer cards! 

Fourth of July

We had fun this year with our fireworks which included aerials. We were taken for a surprise when the first aerial went off, we didn't expect a real in-the-air type firework! My Grandson enjoyed his first experience with the bright sparks and loud 'pops' but fell asleep in my arms by the end.

I know, I know... these are a little late, but they turned out so cute I just had to share! They would be easy to switch up for the Utah holiday of Pioneer Day coming up this weekend!

Summer Mini-Book

I have spent the last few weeks from sun-up to sun-down working on this mini-book, and I do have to say it turned out to be worth it! It is in kits and will be for sale for only $28.00 which includes all the paper, embellishments, covers, etc. It has holes punched for the binding already. The only things you need are: a tape runner, and glue dots. Some items will require a little trimming too. So basically the work is done for you! Get one quick before they sell out!!

The inside of the card above reads, "Hugs and Kisses this Holiday Season" The print is in red and is on a scalloped white rectangle with enough room to sign your name and write a short message.

The card below is a 5.5" square card and is really beautiful in person. The stamped image is colored in colored pencils and then fine glitter has been applied to Santa's beard and the fur on his hat.

This is a pop up card that I designed. Below is the outside and above is the inside, my card kits have the embossed snowflakes extended to the bottom of the card.

Halloween Here I Come!

The Scrapbook Retreat in Eden, Utah is 1 month away and I have almost finished up my ideas for kits/classes for the gals. This retreat I focused on Halloween and will have two Christmas items. Instead of just doing scrapbook type of things, I have chosen to do all home decor items. It has been a lot of fun and I hope a big success. There are so many different ways to use paper, vinyl, embellishments and the great Cricut. I purchased the Happy Hauntings cartridge and have loved using it.

The first project is a fun mirror I found at Ikea and I embellished it with vinyl for a really fun and different Halloween decoration. The second Halloween item I did was a 13 days of Halloween countdown. I saw this idea in Creating Keepsakes magazine last year and when I found the frame at Ikea I just had to do my own take on it. I took the mirror out of the frame and cut some foam board to fit and then covered it in Burlap (which is so in for home decor right now). I then made 13 different items for 13 days until Halloween. A few of them will fit candy and the rest all have a space (on the back of each item) to write down an activity for the day. I loved how it turned out and it was so fun figuring out different things and then coming up with the numbers.

If you have any questions about either project, email me at thewrightteresa@mac.com or post a comment!
