Bunny Flourish

I made this card for a couple of challenges.  This is a 4.5 X 5.5 card.  The bunny is from Kate's ABCs on page 34 the Phrase Shift image cut at 2.5" Real Dial Size.  The ovals are from the Art Philosophy cart page 42 cut at 1.75 and 2 inches.  The squares were cut out with a Paper Studio punch and measure 1 9/16".  The flourish is from the Cindy Loo Cartridge from page 40.  I cut 2 of them at 2" and trimmed the bottom of one and put them together to make it as tall as I wanted.  (My laptop was downstairs and I was too lazy to go get it and do it on Cricut Craftroom, so I did it the old fashioned way!).  I added 3 pink flowers and 3 pink pearls to finish it.

I am posting this card for the following challenges:

Cindy Loo - Flourish

 I have chosen any of the flourishes from the Cindy Loo cartridge. I love flourishes they are so versatile and always give such an elegant touch to a project . Don't worry if you don't own Cindy Loo you can use a flourish from any cart and so many have the most beautiful flourishes to choose from, so join us in our challenge this week as we would love to see your fabulous creations!

 

I enjoyed combining these 3 challenges and am happy with the way this card turned out.

A "Girl-y" Birthday

This is a feminine birthday card.  It is a standard 4.25" x 5.5" card.  The papers I used are from DCWV Taj Mahal stack and for the yellow base I used Paper Trey Ink. 

I used the Cindy Loo cartridge for the frame. It is on page 49 and cut at 3".  I stickled the layers and popped it up on the card.   I used a Martha Stewart Deep Edge punch for the bottom.  The "Happy Birthday" is the Close to My Heart Stamp that I have used a few times now stamped in pink!  I put a pink ribbon and some pink pearls to finish.

I am planning on entering this into these challenges :

Buttons & Bow Heart

Hello friends,

This is a 4.25 x 5.5 card. The heart is cut from the Cindy Loo cartridge on page 32 at 3.5". The card base, ribbon and buttons are from Paper Trey Ink in a color called Autumn Rose. The patterned paper is from a Colorbok paper pack that my son gave me for Christmas. The tourquoise was from my scraps.



I couldn't decide on the polka dot ribbon or the stitched ribbon.  So I ran a line of tape down the back of the polka dot with my ATG gun and taped them together.

I added the faux stitching lines with my white pen.  I didn't add the stitching until after I had put the card together, so it is not the best (I'm not too good at it to begin with).

For the inside I added a few jewels and a punched out heart.

I made this for the http://diecuttindivas.blogspot.com/ challenge which was to use Bling, Buttons and Bows.  Normally I am better at Bling than Buttons and/or Bows.  But today the bling got relegated to the inside of the card!

Thanks for coming by and ya'll come back soon,

Peace

I finally decided that I should probably start on Christmas cards.  I just haven't been in the right frame of mind.  I keep looking at my cartridges and stamps for inspiration.  Finally I decided on the angel on the Joys of the Season (page 53).  Then it started to come together and I am pleased with the way it turned out.

The paper is from DCWV Holiday Collection that I have had a couple of years.  The star is also from the same page as the angel on Joys of the Season.  The Peace is from the Cindy Loo cartridge (page 72).  I used http://www.mycutsearch.com/ to look at all the word art for Peace.  This is a great resource for searching for images on your cricut cartridges.   I added some gold cording.  After I took the picture, I actually unfrayed the ends of the cords for a half inch or so to make it look like a tassel
.

I looked through my stamps for one that would go with the Peace on the front and found this one.  It's from a set I bought from Paper Trey Ink last year..  Somehow I lost the name to the set so I am not sure.  It is a large set with over a dozen stamps.  The mat is also from the Cindy Loo cartridge (I was too lazy to look through other cartridges and change it in the machine ; ] ). It is the shadow image on page 70.

Welcome Little Princess

I made this card for my granddaughter who is due to arrive very soon.  In fact, while I am posting this my daughter-in-law called and said that she is being induced this Sunday!  We will be meeting Katy Anne very soon.

The "Welcome" came from the Cindy Loo cartridge on page 74.  The "Little Princess" came from the Cricut Lite Sugar and Spice cartridge.  The little shoes and coat are from Kate's ABCs cartridge, which is an adorable cartridge for little girls.  The shoes are on page 42 and the coat on page 43.  I used little gems and stickles glitter glue for the details since the cuts were so tiny.
The background paper is from a Baby Girl kit by Me & My Big Ideas.

I reversed the papers for the inside and used a Fiskars stamp for the inside sentiment.

Well, I better go start packing!

Cindy :)
