Fantabulous Cricut Challenge- Day At The Beach

Hello my crafty friends! Today I am so happy to be a Guest Designer for the:

To see my Design Team project for Exploring Cricut and More 

"Crafter's Choice" Challenge keep scrolling or click here!

I am so excited to craft alongside with some of my favorite bloggers! 

Here is the card I made for today's "Day at the Beach" Challenge and

I used several Cricut Cartridges to put it together.

For the card base I used white card stock and the Art Philosophy Cartridge 

and cut it at 5.25".  The card layers were cut at 5.0" and 4.75". 

The card stock is from DCWV- Fun in the Sun Glitter stacks and papers.  

I used Life's A Beach  to cut the chair at 2.75", the umbrella at 3.75", 

and the beach ball at 1.0". I hand cut the sand layer with 

some sparkly textured card stock. 

The Bear is from the Animal Antics Cartridge. I cut him out at 2.75". 

On the cartridge he has a fishing pole but I gave him some lemonade instead.

I got his cut from the Just Because Cartridge and cut it at 1.0". 

I added a little pink tongue! The sentiment is from the Craftin' Desert Diva's.

I decided to decorate the inside so I cut some more layers 

and added the sun from Create A Critter. I inked and stickled to add 

bling and some depth.  Thanks for coming by to visit and I hope you

Yellow Submarine Card/ Birthday Celebration

Using Cricut Life's A Beach and other cartridges I made a 5"x7" Yellow Submarine card for my

son's 11th birthday. It was a great day with family & friends swimming, BBQing, cupcakes and presents. I had to cut many periscopes to mimic the Beatles Yellow Submarine and I paper pieced

the layers to get the different colors. I used the Animal Kingdom cartridge for the dog and cat heads.

I custom decorated them to look like our cat Jack and dog Minnie. I used Paper Dolls for the boy head and hair and Peachy Keen face stamps to look like my little guy (I guess not so little anymore!) and Groovy Times for the rainbow. I would have done more to the card if I wasn't in such a hurry with all the party preparations.

I used one of those awesome action wobbles I bought from The Scrapbooking Queen.

 They are the coolest! 

I added another rainbow and music notes to the inside of the card.

 

 

I found this awesome Yellow Submarine ice cube tray and made some submarine candies!

 

I then used them to decorate my famous chocolate-chocolate-chip cupcakes that my friends and family love and ask for all the time. I used the rainbow sour tape for the rainbow. I've seen pics all over pinterest with the rainbow cupcakes and thought that it would add just the right touch.

 

 

I decorated the house with rainbow streamers and these Beatle's cards that I used for the invitations. as well as more Yellow Submarine cuts. It was a fun day and my son was very happy!

 

 

I will be entering my card into the "Anything Goes" challenge on the Action Wobble website.
