Flowers Times Two

I got the Florals Embellished cartridge this weekend.  I couldn't wait to get started with it. 

For the first  4.25 X 5.5 card (with the orange oval) I chose the flower on page 37.  It is cut at 4.25 inches.  I added some purple gems to the center.   The oval was cut from the Art Philosopy cartridge from page 42 and is cut at 5 inches, then I ran it through the Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots folder.
I added the ribbon and decided it needed something else.  So, the butterfly is a Martha Stewart punch to which I added some black marker and then sprinkled with Stampin' Ups Dazzling Diamonds.

Cardz TV Challenge #108- May Day (flowers)
Critter Sketch Challenge #115 - Flowers
For the 2nd card I chose the flower from page 21.  It reminds me of a Passion Flower.
This flower is also cut at 4.25 inches. For the center I added a Megan Elizabeth Sparkle Lightz in a color called Lush which is a very deep purple and is in the 8mm size.  I added some Stickles and placed it on an Action Wobble .  I used my Martha Stewart Trellis Loop Trim punch for the "ribbon" at the top.  I felt it needed another element so I added a couple of the butterflies with the Martha Stewart punch.

Another Mother's Day Card

I started out with this bright paper from a paper pack that I have had a long time by Best Occasions which I believe came from WalMart. It is a 4.25 X 5.5 inch A2 card. The base is from PaperTrey Ink in Orange Zest.  Then I used my newest Martha Stewart Deep edge punch called Twirl Loop on a piece of Core'dinations Solid-Dyed Core in a bright pink for the bottom lace.  The "Happy Mother's Day" die cut is from the Phrases cartridge.  It is the phrase 2 feature on page 25 and cut at 2.50 inches.  The orange polka dot embossed ribbon has been in my stash for a long time now.  I finished it with a little pink flower with a jeweled center.  Simple!

I love the bright colors and the cheerful look to this card!

Hang In There!

This is a 4.25 X 5.5 inch card.  The background paper is from DCWV Latte Stack.

The cute little monkey is cut from Create A Critter.  I just can"t stay away from that cartridge!

He is from page 46 and is cut at 2.75 inches.

The umbrella is from the American Alphabet cartridge (another favorite) and is on page 40 and cut at 2.25 inches.

The palm tree is from Life is a Beach.  It is on page 41.  The cut includes a small island piece which I didn't use.  I wanted it big so I cut it at 6 inches.

I then added Waterfall Stickles for the rain drops.  For each one I just put a drop of Stickles and then took a large pin (the one I use to clear my glue bottles!) and just pulled each drop down to form the raindrop.

My monkey is on an Action Wobble so he is "floating" through the trees with his umbrella.

For the inside, I used a cut from the Wild Card cartridge.  It is on page 47 and is the Phrase Shift feature.  I cut it on Real Dial Size at 3.5 inches.

I am going to enter this card in the following challenges:

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. 

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