Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Me Monday #101

Hello Crafty Friends!

"A GOOD FRIEND IS CHEAPER THAN THERAPY"

This is my submission for the

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:

Creative Cutter Room Challenge: Shape Cards

Hello Crafty Friends!

"HOW'VE YOU BEAN?"

This is  my submission for the

Creative Cutter Room's  Design Time Thursday:  Shape Cards

Theme: Shape Card!

Create a new card using a shape no squares no rectangles!

For my shape card, I decided to use the "latte" cup from the Love You A Latte Cricut cartridge.  I cut the cup at 6" out of brown cardstock.  I designed the card using Cricut Craft Room, which I must mention makes creating so much easier!  The floral pattern paper is from DCWV -- Everyday Extreme Paper Stack.  I love brown and pink!  I used my computer to print out "How've You Bean?" on neutral cardstock, and used a square paper punch to cut it out.  Matted it on some more brown cardstock.  For the inside, I also printed "Miss You A Latte" on the same neutral cardstock, and cut out the latte cup at a smaller scale to give a shadow effect.  I left space to write a note to the recipient.

I hope you love it a latte!

Thanks for stopping by! :-)

This is my submission for My Creative Time's

Throwback Thursday:  "Cricut-Less Challenge" #322

Krafty Girls Challenge #2: Feelin' Lucky

Hello Crafty Friends!

"FEELIN' LUCKY"


Here is my submission for the

Krafty Girls Challenge #2:  Feelin' Lucky

The base of this card is 7"x8" green cardstock.  I used the Cricut Craft Room (woop woop!) for the first time, ever, and it was amazing (since I do not own a Gypsy -- yet!).  So, for the word "feelin'" I used the Lyrical Letters cartridge in 'Loop Dee Loo' font, and was able to weld it together in the CCR. :-)  Both the word "Lucky" (phrase feature) and "Pot of Gold" were from the Create A Critter cartridge.  The "pot" is actually the TURTLE shell (layer 2 feature), upside down.  Cool, huh? And, I used foam squares to make it "pop".  I made the "gold" using the Cricut Craft Room Basics by welding and reshaping the scalloped circle and oval shapes.  The rainbow was made using Creative Memories Circle Patterns.  The card is framed in sparkly ribbon from my stash.  Gold rhinestones give the final accents.  The words "Feelin' Lucky" and the "Gold" are embellished with Stickles.
