My Heart Belongs To You!!!

Here is a wedding card that I made using the Wedding Mariage Solution cartridge. I have not used this cartridge very much and thought it was time I dust it off and see what I can create with it:)

My card base was cut at 5 1/4 x 10 1/2. The first layer (black) was cut at 5", the printed layer at 4.75 x 4.75. I cut the cute bride and groom at 3 1/2 plus the layer and popped them on a matted 3 1/2 x 4 1/4 and 3 1/4 x 3 3/4 rectangle. The heart was cut at 1 1/4 plus the layer using this cartridge as well. I used the pretty punch with hearts on it from Martha Stewart and the sentiment is from  My Creative Time- "you had me at chocolate" stamp set. I just love this set! The ribbon and flower bling from Michael's and stickles to add a little shimmer...

Serenade-"Together Forever Card"

Wow, it's been a few days...I have been super busy and finally found time to get crafty again. Yeah!! I made this card using the cricut cartridge Serenade and Accent Essentials.  I cut the base card at 5 1/2 x 4 1/4, layers at 5 1/4 x 4 and 5 x 3 3/4 using a cuttlebug embossing folder on these layers to give it a little character. The printed layer cut at 4 x 3 3/4 using cricut cartridge Accent Essentials. I cut the birdcage plus layers at 4", the birds plus layers at 1 1/4 using the flip option for one of the birds so they would face each other using the cricut cartridge Serenade .The sentiment is from My Creative Time-"you had me at chocolate stamp set", SU punch for around the sentiment and the natural twine is from papertreyink. The card stock was bazzill, printed paper from Cosmo Cricket-delovely mini deck. A little glitter to the card with stickles and some bling to finish it up. Thanks for looking:)

Celebrate The Occasion-"Anything Goes Birthday" Challenge!!

Here is my project for the challenge over at Celebrate the Occasion. I used the Birthday Bash cartridge along with Wrap it up cartridge for my card.

The card base is cut at 4 1/4 x 5 1/2, layer at 4 x 5 1/4. I cut the little elephant at 3" (pg 38) plus layers, the crown at 1" and royal wishes at 1 1/4" (pg 56) all using the birthday bash cartridge. I cut the balloons at 3" (pg 61) plus layers using the wrap it up cartridge. Solid color card stock was bazzill and printed paper was from Cosmo Cricket-delovely mini deck. I used SU punches for the border and for around the sentiment along with ballet blue stamp pad for inking the edges.

Peachy Keen"Let's Face it Friday" challenge!!

The Peachy Keen Challenge is to Create a Spring-inspired handmade gift using your Peachy Keen Faces!

I have decided to make a cute springy purse to be used as a gift card holder for a friend of mine with a birthday coming up.

I used my imagine cartridge "Best Friends" for this project. I cut the purse at 10.5 using the pretty pattern paper on page 38. I cute the flower at 1.3 on pg 17 and stamped the sweet little face with the Peachy Keen Princess Face Asst. set. I added some boa and ribbon from Michael's. Isn't this just so sweet??? It is just perfect for my gift card!! 

 

You Hoo!!

This card I made using the Create A Critter cartridge. I cut the cute owl at 3.35 on my gypsy along with the other layers. I used Bazzill brown and blue paper and the pattern paper was used from a SU designer paper pack. I love this Martha Steward punch which creates the big flower border on this card. The ribbon from Michael's and I used a alphabet stamping set for the letters to spell out the  "you-hoo".

Imagine-Happy Together card!

Today I decided to make a quick card using my Imagine. I used the imagine cartridge called "Better Together" and whipped this up for you. Hope you enjoy!!

My base card was 5 1/2 x 4 1/4. I used the preloaded cartridge for the scallop and cut the printed scallop at 4.6, the solid color scallop at 4.0 and the cute birdie's on a branch at 4.3. I also used the SU-elegant bouquet embossing folder, sentiment from SU-Happy Together stamp set, ribbon from Michael's and a little stickles to finish it up.

My Creative Time-Throwback Thursday Challenge!!

The Throwback Thursday Challenge is to use "Walk in my Garden" cartridge and to make sure our project includes flowers.

I have not used this cartridge in such a long time. It really does have some cute cuts on it. I cut the cute watering can at 2 3/4 and its layer. The daisy 2 flowers were cut at 1.24 using my gypsy so I could hide the center feature of the flower to add a cute face from the Peachy Keen Dolly Dumplin's Face Asst. The cute sentiment, "spring is in the air" is from My Creative Time-Color Me Happy set. I used SU paper and pattern paper from my scraps and ribbon from Michael's.

September Ninth-Tacky Tuesday's Challenge!!

Our challenge was to use the Simply Charmed cartridge chick on pg 35 and to use a sentiment with the word chick in it.

 I cut the cute chick at 3" along with the shadow feature. The tulips were cut at 2" and 3" (2x's) using Walk in my garden cartridge. The Peachy Keen- Everyday Character Face asst was used for her cute little face. I did not have any purple twine so I rolled my natural twine from Papertreyink into my ink box chalk pad-wisteria and there you have it....purple twine:) I used the Martha Stewart fringe scissors for the grass and ribbon from Michael's and the cute sentiment is from My Pink Stampers-Tootie Hoo Puns stamp set.

Birthday Bash-For You!!!!

My base for the 2nd card was a card/tag feature scallop circle @ 4.18 that I welded with my gypsy. The circle layer @3.35 was a font feature and the "cute poochie" was the dog on page 30 cut @ 3.83. I used polka dot glitter paper from Best Creations, twine from Papertreyink and the sentiment from Hero Arts "message circle" stamp set and circle punch from SU.

You make me smile!!

This card was made using the Birthday Bash cricut cartridge. I just loved playing with this cartridge today. Super fun images and fonts, a must have! The base of this card was cut @ 4.25x5.5 using Bazzill-lime crush, layer cut @ 4x5.25 using Little Yellow Bicycle-Boardwalk. I cut the scallop using the card/tag feature @4.18 using Bazzill-red and the circle using the font feature @ 3.35 using Best Creations polka dot paper collection. The "cute poochie" was cut @ 3.83 using Bazzill-lime crush. I also used SU punches, twine from Papertreyink and sentiment from Hero Arts-All Occasion stamp set.

Valentine treat bags
