Birthday card

ROTFLOL!! made this card for my son...
I used my Imagine (yes, I'm blessed-my Imagine still works) and the Buccaneer cart. I cut the drunken pirate at 3"h and the wording at 1.9"h. The inside was on on my silhouette.

My nephews b-day is coming up so I made him a card.
supplies:
SU- cs night of navy, dimentionals
Chomas Creations - embosser kit
Imagine cart- Buccaneer, All Wrapped Up

I thought it looked a little plain, so I embossed his name on top and age on the bottom. It's hard to see the cardstock is too thick to emboss but it shows up. Oh, I used dimentionals behind the pirate.

on the inside I pop dotted the treasure chest w/dimensionals so I could put some $.

Then for the coordinated envelope I followed this tutorial, but I substituted Buccaneer for Lori's Garden.

THANK YOU KATIE!!! now my envies will go with my cards.

ROTFLOL!!! I LOVE containers!!! I'm addicted to them!!!

So several weeks ago...I thought to myself...What containers do I have???

I looked thru all my carts and cut each one out and this is what I have so far......

Tags, Bags, Boxes and More(17)

All Wrapped Up(10)-Imagine cart.

Imagine More Cards(4)-Imagine cart

Best Friends(1)-Imagine cart

Handyman(1)

Spring Holiday Cards(4)-I cut just the boxes

Plantin Schoolbook(4)

Yummy(1)-Imagine cart

Buccaneer(1)-Imagine cart

Lifes a Party(10)

I LOVE this COFFIN!! LOL I got the paper design from the Buccaneer cart-I'm using this for Halloween!!!

Wrap it Up(50)- I HATE these containers!!! you don't get the layers so your containers look incomplete!! YUCK!!!  someone on the cricut board suggested that you use the layers for the card then shrink it down to fit your container(you would need a gypsy or DS to do this). These are the main containers, out of the 50...these are the 3 I will use and try to do the above. Don't get me wrong, this cart is SUPER for cards!!! but for containers its not worth it!!!in the photo below you can see some of the containers from this cart..I didn't make them all...I was getting to upset how unfinished they were looking. 

Did you ADD it all up??? theres 103 containers...ROTFLOL!!!!

Out of all those I'm only going to be using 96 of them...the others were either repeats or I didn't care for it

Now I will put all these keepers in a bigger container and when I need a container...I can "see" what I have a choice of.....Pretty Smart HUH!!!!! Want to do this too.....heres a tip!!! After I cut each piece I wrote the: cart, page#, key# and size. That way when I decide what container I want to make I can see where I got it from....

HELP ME!!! I have enough containers RIGHT? NOT....I want Tie the Knot and Sweet Tooth.....aaaaarrrrrgghhh.......

A dear friend of mine LOVES LJS, so any time I find coupons I make a "special" card and send it to him.
I used the Imagine and Buccaneer. Isn't that pirate the CUTEST!!!!
The pirate is cut at 2.5 and his sentiment is cut at 1.3 and the background is 4"(rounded corner square). The inside was done on the computer. The card is SU cs Brocade Blue. You can't tell but the pirate is pop dotted.

Heres my card. The Imagine makes it so EASY!! With just one piece of white cardstock. The red stripe is from Buccaneer(imagine) and the boy/wagon is from A Childs Year and the July 4 is from Designers calendar color filled from the dark blue from Buccaneer. Of course dazzleing diamonds and Crystal stickles was added for a little bling....The sentiment was done on the computer and the card base is SU Brillant Blue.
I made the envelope from Plantin Schoolbook and decorated it with some stamps I had.

TREASURE!

ROTFLOL!!! The real reason I had to have the Buccaneer cart for the Imagine.....Its the most cutest Treasure box!!! Can you Imagine adding a tag  "Your a Treasure".....LOL...I cut this at 6". I was just trying this out and used flimsy cs and didn't score it very well. Next time I'll use a heavier cs and really score it.
Heres the front ( the little (paper) pin isn't very good to hold it shut, use a mini brad)

heres the side..LOOK it even has handles!!! How cute is that!!!LOL

the back...love all the details!!!

OK, what will a 6" chest hold???

A mini candy bar!!!!LOL!!! or how 'bout those chocolate coins?? or better yet..make it

about 7"- 8" and put rolled up money......ROTFLOL!!

Now you know you want the Bucaneer cart!!! to make your own "TREASURES"......LOL
