Big Red

Hello everyone!! Welcome to KatelynCo!! Today I have this cute card to share with you. This was a card to give to a 16-year-old that got a big red truck for his birthday. I wanted to incorporate something traffic related, but couldn't find anything. Then I found this big truck in my Boys will be Boys cartridge. I also cut the circles for a traffic light. I added the plaid paper to tie in with the blue in the wheels and the window. I added the lines up on top to mimic a road. The stamp is from Pink By Design. I also added some doodling with a black pen to mimic motion. You can hardly see it in this photo. Sorry about the bad photo. It was taken a hurry. :) I hope you liked this fun card!! :) ~Emma

Football Thank You Card

Welcome to KatelynCo! I created this 4"x4" thank you card using Boys Will be Boys! I really like that cartridge because it has such cute, easy-to-layer images. I used the green paper from Hobby Lobby to resemble a football field. I cut the pennant shape by hand and stamped it with TPC Studio stamps. I also used Lemondrop twine from the Twinery. I hope you've enjoyed this project, and I hope that I've inspired you today. :) ~Emma

Basketball Thank You Card

Welcome to KatelynCo! Today I am sharing a Thank You card that I made. This card is 4.25" x 4.25". The background is navy to match the polka dots and the banner with a stamped sentiment. The mat for the patterned paper is the same color as the twine which is the Lemondrop color from The Twinery. The stamp is from TPC Studios greetings set. The basketball I put together on my Gypsy. I cut the circle from Boys Will be Boys and then used my Cricut Markers to put in the details. I hope you enjoyed this card, and I hope you have a great day!! :) ~Emma

The 8th Day of Christmas - Envelope Mini Album

Hello everyone! Sorry this post is late. I was trying to get this album done in time to share yesterday, but it wasn't quite quick enough. So today, you get 2 days in one. :) I am making three of these mini albums for the grandparents in my families. I covered all of the envelopes with the pattern paper. After making the covers with cardboard covered with paper, I took it too Office Depot to get it bound. Then the fun part - DECORATING!!! LOL! For the cover, I used Once Upon a Princess for the word 'Grandkids' and Storybook for the year.

For this page, I used Boys will be Boys for the basketball hoop. And I used Blackletter for the first time ever! I used it for the name and for the 's' on the hoop. The 's' stands for 'Spartans'. :)

This page is one of my favorites. I used Indie Art for the heart. The name is cut from Storybook. Because the top layer ripped slightly, I added silver glitter (not Stickles :D) to cover that. :)

This is my page. :) Isn't it cute. I cut the bow from Once Upon a Princess. Since I used gray for the dots, I decided to add glitter to make it look like silver. My name is cut from All Mixed Up.

This page is for an army obsessed boy. :) The tank is cut from Boys Will be Boys. The name is from the Designer's Calendar font. 

This last page is also one of my favorites. I cut the butterfly from Create-a-Critter. The name is from Printing Press. I had to make sure there was room for the bird. :D

This book acts as a scrapbook, but it also acts as a photo album. What grandparents don't have tons of pictures of their grandkids, especially those little wallets. :) The envelope part of this book is to store those for each person named. I hope you enjoyed this (late) project. :D Come back soon for my guest designer Sandra! :D ~Emma

Doggie Card

Hello everyone! I thought that today I would take a break from videos and just do a project. I created this card for a 6-year-old boy. I think he will like the greens, blacks, and greys. Those colors seem to naturally go together. The dog is from Boys will be Boys cartridge and the stamp is from TPC Studios. Well that's all for today. See you soon! ~Emma

Adorable Trike Card

Hello everyone!! Hopefully you had a good week and are having a great Friday so far. I'm SOOOO looking forward to the weekend. Today I'm going to share a card that I made yesterday. I used Boys will be Boys for the trike and I cut it out at 2 inches. The green is cut at 2.5 inches. I stamped it repeatedly with TPC studio stamps and Pink By Design stamps. I Cuttlebuged the gray piece of cardstock (cut at 5.25x4 inches). The card is 5.5x4.25 inches. I like doing all of these simple cards with scraps and pre-cut pieces. They are such a time saver. ;) Hope you all have a great day and weekend!! :) Visit me soon for more fun projects! ~Emma

Sports Birthday card

I thought I would share this sports themed card that I made a while back and added some zest to recently. The vellum was printed on the computer for the sentiment.

Recipe:
Card base 8.5x5.5 folded in half
Striped paper from The Paper Studio from the Back to the Basics stack cut at 4x5.25
I'm not sure about the orange strip's size, but it is probably 1.25x5.5
Vellum cut at 4x5.25 and printed
Football cut at 1.5 from Boys will be Boys cartridge
All other balls from George and Basic Shapes with hand drawn decorations.

Thanks for stopping by today!! I hope you enjoyed this card. For my facebook fans, the 25 fan giveaway has been postponed for a little bit. Thanks for your understanding. Watch facbook for more details. ~Emma

'Caught a Bug?' Card

I thought that I would do a post. It has been forever since I did one hasn't it. I love this card that I made using a Cricut cartridge that I got for my birthday. I love the sentiment that I hand wrote onto the card. There is a jar around the bug, but it is cut out of vellum so it is not easy to see in the picture. I hope you have enjoyed this post!!

I have a question for all of you. I am looking for a Clip-It-Up. It can be either a generic brand or the actual thing. If you have one for sale please email me at my business address. Thanks!

I also have an announcement. KatelynCo now has a facebook page where I will give you updates on what's going on and all that good stuff. Simply go to Facebook and search 'KatelynCo' and you will find it. I hope you will become a fan. ~Emma
