Making "Ladybug Love" Card w. Cricut Craft Room

Happy Saturday Crafty Friends!

Today I thought I would show you how I created my "Ladybug Love" Card for the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog (FCCB) using the Cricut Craft Room and my Cricut Expression.

Here, I've designed my Ladybug using the Create A Critter cart in the Cricut Craft Room.

Then, I decided on what colors would be assigned to which part of the Ladybug.

Loaded up my mat into my Cricut Expression and *CUT*!

Finished cuts.

Took off all of the excess paper.

I used the ever adorable Peachy Keen Stamps to give my Ladybug her darling face.

(PK-755 Critter Faces SET A Large)

Assembled my Ladybug and added white Gelly Roll pen to the eyes.

Chose my background paper (DCWV Extreme "Everyday" Stack), and glued down my Ladybug's shadow as well as the matte for my die cut phrase.

Used foam adhesive to give the words, "love bug" and my Ladybug some dimension.

And, here is the finished product.

You can view my Ladybug Love post here.

This card was also entered into the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #20.

Thanks for stopping by! :-)

Hello Crafty Friends!

Here is my submission for the

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Me Monday #104

"OUT LIKE A LAMB"

Make a project with a gentle animal, lamb, puppy, kitten etc.

I started with a 5"x6 1/2" white card base.  I used DCWV's Sweet Stack for the patterned paper.  The LAMB was cut using Create A Critter (Cricut Cartridge).  I embossed her fur with my Cuttlebug using the D'vine Swirl folder.  I used pink, self-adhesive rhinestones for her bows.  The sentiment is from Fiskars "Precious Baby Quotes" clear stamp set.  The buttons and twine are from my stash.

I hope you love this adorable card as much as I do!

Thanks for stopping by! :-)

and

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog #103 "Celebrate Spring"

Make a project with at least three flowers.

The base of this card is purple cardstock, when folded it measures 5"x5".

To make the flowers, I used the Plantin Schoolbook Cricut Cartridge.

To make the "basket", I used the purse accessory from the Create A Critter Cricut Cartridge.

From the same cartridge, I also made the grass.

I used all solid cardstock from my stash.

To assemble the flowers, I used micro mini brads, and adhered lavender rhinestones to each one.

The green swirls are from Studio 112 by EK Success.

And, everything got accented in Stickles!

FCCB #101: Luck of the Irish

Make a project using a shamrock or the color green.

For this card, I used a white 5"x5" base.  The paper is from DCWV -- "Everyday" Extreme Paper Stack.  I cut out the butterflies using a Martha Stewart punch.  I layered 2 butterflies, adhered only the "body" and folded up the wings to create movement.  I used green stickles to accent the body.  For the flowers, I used the Create A Critter Cartridge.  I adhered the stems to the cardstock, and used foam dots under the petals for some dimension.  I also used stickles for a little sparkle.  I used green and white twine, pink rhinestones, and the green polka dotted flower from my stash to add interest.  For the inside, I used pink cardstock, and a pink gelly roll pen to create "stitching".  The sentiment is from 7 Gypsies clear stamps, "INK FRIENDS".

I am also linking this card to the following challenge:
