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.

Creative Cutter Room Blog Hop & Challenge: Strolling Through The Park

Hello Crafty Friends!

Here is my submission for the

Creative Cutter Room Blog Hop & Challenge:

"Strolling Through The Park"

For this challenge we were to create a project incorporating something you would see in a park and had to include 4 elements!  In order to discover what the 4 elements were, we had to hop through the design team's blogs.  Four out of six blogs would have one element.

The four elements are:  Color, Charm, Glitter & Embossing.

I started with a 5"x6 1/2" white card base.  To it, I added "sky" patterned paper from DCWV.  The "grass" is from the Sweet Stack.  The butterfly  and the flowers were cut from the "New Arrival" Cricut Cartridge.  The tree, squirrel and sun were cut from the "Create A Critter" Cricut Cartridge.  The clouds were cut from the "Sesame Street - Seasons" Cricut Cartridge.

I EMBOSSED the CLOUDS and TREE with my Cuttlebug, using the D'Vine Swirl folder.  The CHARM is from my stash, it's tied with a piece of twine that a little birdie must have left behind, hehe.  The COLOR is from Sky Blue Pearlescent INK from Brilliance, as I used it to add dimension to the CLOUDS.  I used a green Zig PEN to draw the flower's STEMS.  I used Peachy Keen Stamps to give faces to the FLOWERS, SUN AND BUTTERFLY.  I used a white Gelly Roll PEN for the EYES.  And, a pink Super Tips from Crayola MARKER for their' CHEEKS.  For the GLITTER element, I used different color STICKLES on the TREE, BUTTERFLY, FLOWERS AND SUN.  Gotta love BLING!

This card was inspired by what I envisioned a young child would draw as a nice spring day in the park.  I kept the proportions off on purpose, and wanted it to look cartoony rather than realistic.

I hope you enjoy.

Just Cards -- "Faux Stitching"

I started off with a 6 1/2"x5" white card base.  The patterned "cloud" paper is from DCWV -- "Everyday" Extreme Paper Stack.  I used the following Cricut Cartridges:  For the Chickies, I used Stretch Your Imagination, for the Eggs, I used Create A Critter, for the Grass, I used Plantin Schoolbook.  To make the cute little chickie faces, I used Critter Faces from Peachy Keen Stamps.  The stamp I used on the inside for the sentiment is from Michael's dollar bin.  I colored it with Super Tips from Crayola Markers.

Made Especially For You Sketch Challenge - March

Hello Crafty Friends!

"THANK YOU"

This is my submission for the

Made Especially For You Sketch Challenge - March

For this challenge at Made Especially For You, it's sketch week.  So, all you had to do is follow the above sketch and put your own flavor into it.  I used The Sweet Stack from DCWV for all the paper.  For the banner, I used my Crop-A-Dile to punch the holes and set the eyelets, then I used some green and white twine to "tie" the pieces together.  I made a rosette with a punched scalloped circle as the center, and a cute winky Peachy Keen Stamp.  I also used 3 gold rhinestones from my stash.

FCCB #102:  In Like A Lion

Make a project using a cat, lion, tiger, etc.

For this card, I used a white card base.  I cut out the lion from the Create A Critter Cricut Cartridge.  I cut the grass using the Plantin Schoolbook Cricut Cartridge.  I used the Cricut Craft Room to manipulate the cuts.  For the lion's face, I used Critter Faces from Peachy Keen Stamps (love 'em!).  I used the blue background paper, green ribbon, and yellow buttons from my stash.  The sentiment on the inside is by Image Tree from EK Success (thank you, Candy!).

I am also linking up this project to the following challenges:
