Cricut Circle: Weekly Challenge #16: Cute As a Button Sketch Challenge!

The challenge this week is to use the sketch provided.  Use a stamp and buttons.






I created a scrapbook page.  My first one this year.  YAY!  I decided to scrap my kiddos preschool pics for this school year. 

The background patterned paper is Provocraft.  The striped paper is DCWV Stack #7.

MS edge punch.

Backpack and the apple are cut from the Doodlecharms cart at 2 1/2".

Title was cut using All Mixed Up at 3/4" using the shadow feature.

I stamped the journaling box using a clear stamp made by Li'l Davis Designs from a set called Noted.

Buttons by Oriental Trading Co and floss by DMC #517, 743.

My Pink Stamper's First Blog Hop!

I collected the clues from the blog hop by visiting all of the new Pink Stamper Designers and the question is:  Do you want to join us in the challenge?  Make a card, scrapbook page, or something fun with My Pink Stamper stamps or the color PINK.

I chose to create a pink card.

Recipe:

Standard A2 size card.  I cut the zebra striped paper (DCWV-Stack 7) at 3 1/2 x 5 1/4. 

I used PS Cricut cart for the pink rectangular frame using the fit-to-lenth button set at 4".  I also used this cart to cut out the 'thanks' using the end caps feature button with the bag/placecard image at 3/4". 

I used a pink organza ribbon that I threaded through the 'thanks' cut and attached it to my card.  I popped up the frame with dimensionals to give it some depth.  I used a white gel pen to add the doodles around the inner edge of the frame and between the letters.  And I used white ink to add a distressed look to the pink frame.

Thanks Robyn for including us all in your first blog hop!

Cricut Circle: Weekly Challenge #15: Feeling Frosty!

Okay, I'm not sure I'm super excited about this card I created, but here goes...LOL!!

Rules for this challenge:
1) Use white paint
2) Use a metal item
3) Use a snowflake cut

I used snowflake cuts from Accent Essentials Cricut cartridge.  The cuts were done at 3" (accent13), 1 1/2 & 1 1/4 (accent15).

I used white paint as the shadow of the largest snowflake by using the negative space from the cut as a stencil.  You can see if you look closely the edges are a little wonky (oops--I guess it's really homemade :-)  I also dabbed the paint on the purple background paper randomly for fun!

I used the Robotz cart for the font:  B=1", r=3/4" and second r=1/2".  I popped the letters up for some dimension.

Patterned paper is from DCWV Winter Wonder Stack. 

Gem brads and metal snowflake brads are from Oriental Trading Co.  I also added some Diamond Stickles to make the small snowflakes sparkly.

I got the Nifty Fifties Cricut cartridge for Christmas and I've been having so much fun with it.  So many wonderful images to cut...so little time.  LOL!

Impression Obsession Challenge: All You Need is Love

For this challenge you need to follow the theme of Love and use Impression Obsession stamps on your card.

For this card I used Impression Obsession stamps:  Celebrate by Leigh Hannan (CL254) and Sentiments I.  Their website is http://www.impression-obsession.com/

I inked the edges with a cranberry colored ink, added double ribbons/bows, and some cotton candy stickles for some sparkle.

Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge #14: Getting In Shape

Okay, my first challenge of the new year.  The rules for this challenge are:
1) Use a shape other than a square or rectangle for the project.
2) Include a number.
3) Bling
4) At least 2 Cricut cuts.

I used the Cricut cart Nifty Fifties for the cat and the font.  Tags, Bags, Boxes and More was used for the circle card base.  I also used MS All Ocassions Cake cart for the white circle and the black doily. 

I added some bling for the cat's necklace and her eyes.  I used DMC floss for a cat's cradle effect on the doily. 

I used CB folder swiss dot on the white circle background.
