Share a Card Sunday - Survival Kit

Happy Sunday!
It's almost the end of Sunday here is Israel but still Sunday so it counts...
I caught some kind of flu that goes around (my kid passed it on to me) but I still wanted to share with you the card that I made in the last week.
So, I'm sorry for this post being short, I just gotta go to sleep again (I feel awful).
I made a box filled with cards for various occasions around the year.
Just thought that it will be a great idea to give it to a man that keeps (like many of the men I know) forgetting birthdays, anniversaries, valentines and what not.
Have a look:

It turned out pretty cool...
Asked my hubby it (what does he think of the idea and if he would buy it) and he said that he would never dream of forgetting an event related to me so it's not necessary for him... haha... *pain in ribs* *pain everywhere*...
OK, before I'll have a complete shut down - I'm going to sleep.
Thanks for looking!
Come again soon,
Ifat.

Tag, you're it!

not really... but still.. :)
I can't really remember when was the last time that I created a tag. Anyways, after a long week of hard work I needed something short, simple, cute...
So I decided to put my Silhouette SD to good use and cut the "happy birthday" tag that I had on there.
and guest what happened? I think that my silhouette blade is broken... It did the work just fine but some small little black pieces fell off, and that's never a good sign.. right? It's just my luck :(

Well, here's how it turned out:

I'm planning on using this tag for my dad's birthday next month. I hope he'll like it.

Thanks for looking!

Cards According To Sketch

Hi everyone!

Today I have another video tutorial for you. But, it's a bit different this time.
This time I didn't get a tutorial from the SCS site like I did before.
This time I used I sketch from the CPS blog (I used the CPS #107):

In addition, I used Kristina's Color Inspirations.

First I made this card:

For this card I used the Color Inspiration #8.

Then, I decided to make a video on how I did another variation of the same sketch. For the card that I make in the video I used the Color Inspiration #13.

I hope you enjoyed the video!

Here are a few pictures of the new card I created:

Feel free to come and visit my YouTube channel. Comment, Watch videos, Rate them - Simply have fun!

Have a great day!

Random Card Wednesday #14

Hello everyone!
It's that time of the week again! RCW #14 is today.

Today I took another link from my links blog and created a card according to it.
It's the criss-cross card from the SCS site (yes, again...).

Here's my take on that tutorial:

And that's the card that goes into the "pocket": All the carstock that I used on this card were simple cardstock from the crafts store (no particular brand). The pattern papers that I used is from the Canon scrapbooking site. It's a great source for cute pattern papers that you can print in the comfort of your own home.

On the inside I used my newly purchased Bella stamp (it's called i-can't-see-a-thing-abella. Love their names!). I outlined the Bella stamp with my Sharpies (they have great bright colors).

That's all for today, thanks for joining me!

Criss-Cross Card Recipe:
Cardstock - bright pink; brown; white (no brand).
Patterned Paper - red and pink butterflies background paper (the Canon scrapbooking site).
Stamps - i-can't-see-a-thing-abella (from StampingBella).
Ink - Black Stazon.
Tools - Corner rounder (from EK), Sharpie's pens.
Accessories - Red Ribbon (no brand).

How about some teasing?

A dear friend of mine (Hi Ronit!) is celebrating her birthday at the end of the month, so of course she's getting a present (no, I don't have any idea what to get her) & a cute greeting card from me...

Since I want it all to be a surprise & since I know she's one of my most faithful readers, I decided to show you all (and especially her) some teasing pictures for you to enjoy:

Now that I look at the pictures, I'm not sure she won't guess how does the card look like, but at least she'll know that it's ready and that she can't have it till her birthday.. Heard me, Ronit? untill your birthday... lol..

Have a great day everyone!

Yay! Look at me!

Remember me telling you all about the tons of things I need to scrap this month?

Well, Yay! I'm getting there.

You already saw the card I made for my husband's birthday, now Iwant to show you what I made for my sister-in-law, Rina. She's my husband's twin sister. I think that she doesn’t even know I have a blog so no worries about her seeing her card and gift here.

On last Thursday I was at a mini album class. It was so much fun! We got together at my friend Diana's house and worked till the middle of the night (well, we need to go back home sometime, right?). So I decided I'm making the mini album as a gift for Rina' s birthday.
This is the results of my work that night:

And of course, a gift can't be given without a proper greeting card:

I made this card with matching colors (at least I tried to..) so I used a pattern paper that I love, a cute flower, and again GEMS !!!
By the way, maybe you've already guessed it but the words on the card says "Happy Birthday!" or "YOM HOOLEDET SAME-ACH!" in Hebrew...
Spend some time here - you'll eventually learn how to speak in Hebrew. lol..

July’s Events

Don’t know why but this year I have the busiest July I’ve ever had (as far as I can remember).
I celebrated my 25th birthday, I attended a stamping class and a “MiniAlbum” class, I have 3 birthday greeting cards to make for my husband, his twin sister and for the SBS swap and an additional wedding greeting card for Ronit’s & Ron’s wedding… That’s A LOT! Well, at least for me.
I still consider myself to be a beginner at scrapbooking so that amount of things to scrap scares me a bit, but I know I can do this.

So let’s start with the results:
First off is my dear husband’s birthday card. I still don’t have any idea what to get him for his birthday (ideas will be happily accepted - HELP!). So I decided to first do the card and then decide on the gift. I’m able to publish the card’s picture here because he rarely visits my blog. And if he does – Well, finally! Where have you been??? lol...

I made 2 swirly circles which said "Love You" in Hebrew and then I decided that it misses something... so I added another circle (a little smaller) and glued a pink flower on it.
I don't know if you've noticed but I love using gemstones on anything so I added some green ones on the flower and some deep pink ones on the ribbon and on the edges of the card. Just love them, they add some kind of *bling* to the card, don't you think?

Happy Birthday Honey, I Love You!

Finally!

I don't know if you've noticed but I have a new "box" an my sidebar, called: My "To Scrap" List.

Well, this weekend I got to check 2 items off that list.

I made a greeting card for my sister-in-law (Happy Birthday Orit!!!).

Now let me tell you a bit about it.

A few weeks ago I saw a punching tool that makes round shapes with "waved" edges.

I wanted to buy it sooo much. Here comes the twist of the story. I realized I can't afford to buy that punching tool so I bought some "wavey" scissors and started cutting circles.

I think you will agree that the circle looks just fine even if it was made by hand and not with that expensive punching tool.

Anyway, so I made the "wavey" circle, printed a cute picture on it and I used double sided foam tape so that the circle would stick out.

I took a couple of ribbons (in one of my favorite combinations - lime green and pink) and tied it at about the middle of the card.

For the finishing touch I used my Hebrew alpabetic stickers to spell "Mazal Tov" which is "Congratulations" in Hebrew.

Now all I need to do is to write the actual greeting...

Ron’s Birthday!

On the 2nd of May was Ron’s birthday.
Ron is a friend of mine that I know from the year I studied Biology.
Through Ron I got to know Ronit, which is now officially my new friend, since we discovered we both love scrapbooking…
Ronit has an amazing talent and she creates beautiful things all the time (including the greeting card she created for my wedding).
Anyways, for Ron’s birthday we got together with all our friends from the university (and their boyfriends) and did a barbeque at Ron’s house.
So, for Ron’s birthday I choose one of the greeting cards that I’ve created in advance and attached it to the birthday present that we bought him.

Happy Birthday Ron! I’m sorry if we totally “leeched” you with the barbeque… Actually, I’m not sorry – It was soooo tasty…

Some credits:
All the patterned papers on this card are from the Canon's scrapbooking site (the link is on the right - under the list of favorite sites).
It's a great site for scrapbookers (is that a word???) that has lots and lots of background paper, patterned paper, tags, borders and other stuff for you to print - totally FREE!!!
