Bird on a Branch

For this 5 X 7 card, I used my Lori's Garden Imagine Cartridge.  I cut the bird and branch out in layers, but ended up only using the complete base cut.  I used some Diamond Stickles around the flowers added some pearls for the centers.  I added a pearl for the bird's eye also.  I tried to do some outlining with my white gel pen, but it would not work well on the printed image. 
The lattice border is a Martha Stewart punch.  The awning is from Lori's Garden also and is a scrap from an earlier project.

I am entering this card for the following challenges:

Bitten By the Bug2 -  Garden

Die Cuttin' Divas  - Anything Goes

Cooking with Cricut - May Flowers

Cooking With Cricut Card Outreach




Since he likes Spiderman, I made him a Spiderman card similar to one I made last year which you can see here Spiderman Card.
This is a 4.25 X 5.5 inch card. I inked the yellow base with different colors to simulate a sky at sunset. I printed the spiderman on glossy photo paper and cut him out. I put him on an Action Wobble so he "moves".  The spiderweb is cut from Happy Hauntings cut at 9.5 inches and I added Stickles. 

For the inside, I printed a quote from the movie onto white card stock on my printer and added it to an orange cardstock base.

This is such a worthwhile cause, I encourage everyone to participate.

Bling, Go Bling!

UPDATE:  I WON THE COOKING WITH CRICUT CHALLENGE FOR THIS CARD -  SEE
IT HERE http://www.cookingwithcricut.com

My racy card is made with the Rock Princess cartridge.  This cut is from page 32 and is cut at 3.5 inches for a 4.25 X 5.5 card.  I took her hot pink motor scooter and coated it in Stampin' Up Dazzlin' Diamonds for some bling.   I cut her wheels and skirt out of shiny silver paper.  I put Inkssentials Glossy Accents on her windshield, sunglasses and boots to give them shine.  I used a Martha Stewart punch to punch the lacy border and added some clear gems for even more bling.  And she is ready to ride! 
I haven't decided what to put on the inside yet.  I am thinking of "You Go Girl!"  Or "Ready to Roll".

I made this card for the following challenges:

Believe

I don't know if you noticed, but the Cooking With Cricut Challenge that I entered with the Lollipop card that I posted yesterday had 2 girls that are suffering with cancer that they were trying to reach out to.

The lollipop card I thought would be suited for they younger girl and I thought this butterfly would be appropriate for the older of the girls.

The Butterfly is cut from the Art Nouveau cartridge.  It is on page 53.  I wanted it to be big so I cut it at 4.5 inches.  I put all the layers together then cut the shadow and popped it up on the shadow.

\

I put it on a 5.5 x 5.5 inch card.  The "Believe" is a my Pink Stamper Stamp from the Family and Friends set.

I am going to post it to the challenge.  I hope they don't mind that I post a second time, but I made a card for each child.

It is a wonderful thing to do to encourage a child and even more so a sick child.  It would be great if my readers would go to Cooking with Cricut Challenge 81 and participate with this worthy challenge.

Thanks for coming by and y'all come back again soon,

Dance of the Lollipops

I stayed up way too late last night playing making this card.  The lollipops were a lot of fun.

The lollipops are from Just A Note which came pre-loaded on the Expression 2.  They are on page 57 and cut at 3.5 inches to be placed on a 5 x 7 card.  I took the Layer 1 "swirls" and ran them through the Xyron and sprinkled them with Stampin' Up Dazzling Diamonds.  I put some Glossy Accents on the bows.  Then I placed all three of them on Action Wobbles.  Therefore, dancing lollies!  I also punched out a 1 3/4 inch circle in kraft paper and added to the back of the lollipops before adding the Action Wobbles.  I like to add some weight to things that I put the wobbles on so that they move better (lesson learned earlier).

The Sweet Wishes stamp is from My Pink Stamper's Simply Sweet Occasions stamp set. 

I made this card for the following challenges:

Wobble Wednesday's Challenge #5 - 
3 Circle Challenge - add 3 circles anywhere on your project

and

Cooking With Cricut Challenge #81 - Card Outreach

Well, thanks for coming by and y'all come back again soon,

Shake Your Tailfeather

I thought this card would be good for encouragement or congratulations. 

I used Create A Critter and cut the cute little birdie on page 45 the shift image.  I cut the birdie and all his parts at 3.25".  I inked him and put him on an Action Wobble.

I printed the phrase out on my computer and popped it up.

The card shape, layer (square 5)  and the frame (decorative layer) are from Art Philosophy page 63 and cut at 5.5".

This is my little birdie shaking his tailfeather!

I made this card for the following challenges:

Cricut Cardz Challenge-  Challenge #105: “You’ve Been Framed!" Make a card for any occasion using a frame from any cartridge and using any colors you’d like.

I had also wanted to put in the  Wobble Wednesdays Challenge but when I went to post it, I realized I had looked at challenge #1 and this week they are on challenge #3 which included a bunny!  Oh well, maybe next week!

Thank Ewe

I really like how this card turned out.  It is for a couple of challenges and for my daughter.  She needed a thank you card for a lady who mentored her for a school project.

Cooking With Cricut Challenge #73 This week the Cooking With Cricut challenge is a sketch, and pick three, (ribbon, flowers, glitter, stickles, brads eyelets,border punch, chalk or ink. Here is the sketch.

I followed the sketch but forgot about the pick three. 

 

 

The next challenge is the Cricut Cardz challenge.  I submitted a card for the last challenge and I won the give-away, which is a set of Cardz Tv stamps!! I'm so excited!  I can't wait to get them!!!

 For Cricut Cardz Challenge #102, “A Stitch in Time”, make a card for any occasion using real or faux stitching and use any cartridges or colors you’d like.

For the 5 x 7 card I used my trusty Create A Critter cartridge.  My Little lamb is on page 71 and I cut her at 3.5" .  The papers for the card are from DCWV Lemon Flower Stack.  Yellow is usually not at the top of my list of colors, but I love this stack.  The colors are great and coordinate well.  I added some black faux stitiching and some silver pearls to finish up the front.

For the inside I used the American Cricut Alphabet that came with my Expression 2 (which I also love).  I cut the letters from Font 1 at 1 inch. Then with the Cricut Craft Room, I took the shadows of the letters at the same size and welded them together.  So I glued the individual letters onto the welded shadow.
