Fantabulous Challenge - Kitty Card

Hey everyone,

 

Today I am sharing a card I made using this week's Pet Challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge. 

 

Here's my card:

 

 

I CASE'd (copy and share everything) from myself.  Ha!  A couple of weeks ago, I created this CARD, and I really loved how it turned out, so I decided to make a kitty card.  I used the Create a Critter for both kitty and the balloon.

House of Cards & PP286..Happy Birthday

Hi,

 

I'm combining 2 challenges for my card tonight - a Silhouette Challenge over at House of Cards, and a fun color combo at the The Paper Players. 

 

 

                     

 

 

I CASE'd this sweet card I found on Pinterest.  I changed it a bit to make it my own. 

 

 

 

It's a bit hard to see, but I added some Calypso Coral card stock to the collar - the rhinestones are covering it.

The Card Concept...Happy Birthday, Owl

Hello friends,

 

One more card to share with you tonight before heading to bed.  This one is for this week's The Card Concept Challenge - theme is Forest Friends.  I decided to go with "Fall" colors for my owl.  I used the Create a Critter Cartridge to die-cut the owl and branch. I think my card falls under the clean and layered category.

The Male Room...Mr. Banana

Hi everyone,

 

I'm playing on a new-to-me challenge called The Male Room.  We were asked to create a project using  fruit.  It literally took me about a day to think about what to create, until Mr. Banana came to life!  Ha! I die-cut the banana using Create a Critter Cricut Cartridge, and I used the Billionaire Cricut Cartridge for the fancy hat, moustache and cane.  I really liked the way it turned out.

The Challenge & Hand Stamped Sentiments...Make a Wish



 Hey everyone,

 

Here is a quick card I put together during my lunch hour for this week's The Challenge and Hand Stamped Sentiments: 

 

 

 

 

I was curious about the inspiration photo over at The Challenge, since I've always wanted to give the chalkboard technique a try, so I knew I wanted to incorporate that into my card.  The sketch over at Hand Stamped Sentiments was perfect.

 

 

 

Supplies:

Paper: Soft Sky, Whisper White, Basic Black, Basic Grey (SU!); Stamps: Flower Shop (SU!), Big Wishes (IBS); Ink: Whisper White Craft, Blushing Bride, So Saffron (SU!); Tools: Classic Circle  (Spellbinders); Other: Square Lattice Embossing Folder (SU!), Create a Critter Cricut Cartridge (for the leaves), Soft Sky Seam Binding Ribbon, small pearls for the flowers.

Have a wonderful weekend,

 

 

 

 

 



  

HSS Sketch Challenge... Little Giraffe

Hey friends,

 

Taking a break from holiday cards, I decided to create a baby card for this week's Hand Stamped Sketch Challenge.  The card base is Whisper White and the layers are pretty patterned papers from DCWV Dot Stack Paper Pad.  I used the Create a Critter cricut cartridge to cut out the cute giraffe.  I then used some yellow and white Baker's Twine, wrapped it around the card twice, then added a small bow to the left hand side of the card.

Exploring Cricut and More... Happy Spring

Hi Everyone,

The weekend is almost here!  I created a "spring" card for this week's Exploring Cricut and More!  This week is all about celebrating Spring.

 

 

The first thing that came to my mind was a basket of flowers!  The card base is Whisper white and all other card stock is from my paper stash.  I used Doodlecharms for the basket, cut at 3", the pretty flowers are from Mother's Day Bouquet, cut at 3.4" and the butterflies are from Create a Critter, also cut at 3.4".  The sentiment was computer generated.  And for the final touch, I adhered two pink bows to the basket.

PP163 & The Kraft Journal - Song/Book

Hello Everyone,

I want to share a card for two challenges, the first being The Paper Players.  It's all about creating a CAS project "For the Kids"

The other challenge is The Kraft Journal. We were asked to use a song/book theme to create a project.  I chose the classic book "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle.  I remember reading it to my girls when they were little.

My Card:

I started out with Crumb Cake as the case base, followed with layers of Real Red and Whisper White.  The caterpillar was quick and easy to create.  I cut out 8 green circles using the 3/4 circle punch, and 1 red circle using the 1 inch punch.  Using the Create a Critter Cricut Cartridge, I made the caterpillar's antennas.  The Crop-A-Dile came in handy to punch out the small white circles for the eyes.  Using a thin green maker, I hand drew the dots for the eyes, nose and the smile.  The ruffled layers on the bottom were created with the MFT Simply Scallop Die.  First, I adhered the red layer, then decided to add some yellow color as well.  Under the caterpillar, I adhered a strip of patterned paper from SU! Print Poetry DSP.  I divided the top and bottom with 1/8 Real Red Taffeta Ribbon.  I stamped the sentiment from IBS Wishes Stamp Set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  I added a few green rhinestones to finish off the card.

Exploring Cricut: Cricut Choice

Happy Tuesday!

Just popping in quickly to share a card I made for this week's Exploring Cricut.  We were asked to create a project using 2 cricut cuts.

I decided to use Create a Critter for the cute bird, and Elegant Edges for the scallop frame - two of my favorite cartridges!  My card begins with Kraft card base, and added layers of My Mind's Eye All Spice designer papers.  The bird was cut at 3 inches, and I used dimensionals to pop him up.  The frame was cut at 3 1/2 inches, and to finish it off, I adhered small rhinestones to the four corners.

The Kraft Journal - Cute Critters and Exploring Cricut

Howdy!

I created this card for two challenges.  The first is the Kraft Journal - it's all about "Cute Critters" this week.  The second is a brand new paper craft challenge I happened to stumble upon called Exploring Cricut.

My card:

My card begins with a kraft card base, followed by red and kraft gingham patterned cardstock.  I think it gives the card a "western feel" don't you think?  I used one of my favorite cartridges, Create a Critter.  The horse was cut at 2.5 inches.  I used 3 shades of brown cardstock.  I just love the scarf around his neck!  The star was cut at 1 inch.    

I think I will give this card to my nephew for his birthday.  I hope he likes it!

I'm also sharing my card over at Word Art Wednesday.
