You Make Me So Yappy Card

Hello everyone! Welcome to KatelynCo. Today I have a card that I made a while ago, but never posted. I used Create-a-Critter to cut the bone. I don't personally think that the Cricut does well cutting the little faces, so I drew my own. I used some patterned paper that I got at a garage sale (can anyone say bargain???). The Twinery Twine is Cappuccino. The stamp sentiment is from Mr. Cricut Crazy's Razzle set. A very quick, cute card. I hope you all enjoyed this card! :) ~Emma

I used Maraschino twine from The Twinery to wrap across and break up the straight lines.

Happy Mother's Day! Glitzy Flower Cards

Hello everyone! Welcome back to KatelynCo! Today, as most of you already know, is Mother's Day. So I decided to make a few cards that would work for Mother's Day.

For the patterned cardstocks on these cards, I used the Lemon Flower stack from Die Cuts with a View. This stack has beautiful patterns. And some of them even have glitter. :)

The flower cuts are from the Storybook Cricut Cartridge. And the stamp is Pink By Design! :) These are beautiful cards and I love the Lemon Flower stack for its colors. It's amazing to think that I've had the stack for 5 months and only now got it out.

Don't forget to join us tomorrow for the Sunshine, Lollipops, and Rainbows Blog Hop. It starts right here tomorrow. Come back for lots of fun and inspiration. There are even a couple of giveaways involved. :) RSVP to the facebook event here. Hope to see you there! ~Emma

Circus Thank You Card

Hello everyone!! Welcome to KatelynCo!! Today I have a cute Thank You card to share. This is a circus themed card. I just used the Create a Critter cartridge for this card. I loved the little peanut and circus tent, so I decided to use those. The face on the peanut is from Peachy Keen Stamps. It is from the Everyday Faces set. For the cross hatch on the peanut, I drew it on using my Cricut markers. I didn't want to cut that tiny piece. The banner I made by welding 2 signs together. I scored it with my trimmer to add dimension. The twine is Charcoal twine from the Twinery. The embossed background is the seeing spots folder that I inked. The stamp is from TPC Studio. I hope you have enjoyed this card! ~Emma

P.S. The winner for the vinyl has been chosen. Congrats to Lisa!! :) ~E

Say Cheese Scrapbook Page

Hello everyone! Welcome back to KatelynCo! Today I have a super cute layout for you guys. I created this layout with just the Create-a-Critter cartridge. That's one of the reasons I love this cartridge. It has titles and accent shapes all in one!! :) I created this page for some pictures of different photo shoots. Perfect for those shots that weren't quite perfect. :D For the geometric shapes on the left side of the layout, I just used all the little cutout pieces from my cuts. I embossed them with my Polka Dots Cuttlebug Folder. I also embossed the triangle mat at the top. I topped it all off with black and white doodling. :) I hope you all enjoyed this project!! ~Emma
