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.

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

Thanks for stopping by! :-)

BITTEN BY THE BUG 2 CHALLENGE: WELCOME

Hello Crafty Friends!

"WELCOME BANNER"

Here is my submission for the

Bitten By The Bug 2's:

"Welcome Friends Challenge"

For this challenge, I decided to make my first home decor project.  It's a small banner to hang on the door of my scraproom.  To cut the word "Welcome" I used the Storybook Cricut Cartridge with the shadow accent.  For the scalloped ovals, I used Cricut Craft Room Basics, which comes included when you download Cricut Craft Room.  Each oval is attached with foam dots to create dimension.  On the pale pink oval, I embossed using my Cuttlebug and the Swiss Dots folder.  I used pink self-adhesive rhinstones for a touch of bling.  For the background, I used the same pale pink paper as the smallest oval, and a Martha Stewart border punch gave black cardstock a delicate edge.

I absolutely love how this project came out.  Don't you?!

Thanks for stopping by! :-)
