Spotlight Sunday for Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog!

Hello my crafty friends! I really had fun being a guest designer for the

 Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog. The Design Team was welcoming and 

so sweet to me! This is my closing project and I look forward to 

participating in future challenges!

For my Exploring Cricut and More Sunday Project keep scrolling or click HERE !

 Today I have a card I made with my Imagine machine.  I used 

my Enjoy the Seasons cartridge. I've had my eye on this little 

bunny in the balloon for a longtime. I finally made a couple things with it! 

I used an Ivory A2 card and all the papers are printed with my Imagine.  

The balloon and cloud was cut at 4.25". I embellished with tiny pearls 

and bronze colored rhinestones. 

I made a matching tag as well using the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge.

 I haven't really made a lot of tags but hope to have a nice stash of them 

eventually for the future. I also used twine and a button. I cut a scalloped 

rectangle with the polka dot paper for the inside layer. 

I just love this little bitty bunny!

I think like how this turned out. The colors make it so that it 

can be for a guy or girl. 

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed my project! I will 

participate in the following challenges:

Exploring Cricut and More Paper Pups Thank You Card

Good morning and happy Sunday! Today I have a thank you card I made 

for a special friend. I paper pieced several of these quilted patterns

using scraps from a K & Company paper pack  while back and never got 

around to making cards with them.  I started by punching out a bunch of 

squares  and gluing them side by side. Using the center point feature on my 

Cricut I cut out the top note shape. I then ran them through my Cuttlebug. 

I was so happy to get my Paper Pups cartridge when Cricut brought it back 

from retirement.  I just love this cartridge! I cut the pup out at 2.0", I added 

some brown pearls for her eyes, and used glossy accents for the nose. I tied

 a ribbon around the bone and added buttons!

I hand cut the banner and stamped it with my Jaded Blossom Stamps. 

The pup on the inside is cut at 1.75" and I used a little butterfly sticker. 

The inside sentiment is also from Jaded Blossom Stamps.

I hope you enjoyed my card and thanks for stopping by and visiting today!

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

enjoyed my project. Don't forget to stop by The Fantabulous Cricut

Exploring Cricut and More Crafter's Choice Challenge

Happy Monday everyone! Today there is a new challenge at:

I am so happy to be a part of such a wonderful design team 

at the Exploring Cricut and More blog. I just love all the Cricut 

and SVG projects made by these wonderfully talented ladies! 

Today's challenge is "Crafter's Choice" using at least 2 diecuts! I made

this card using my very first SVG cut! This adorable penguin was a freebie

at Designs On Cloud 9. I just think he is so darned cute!!! I have had

the SCAL 2 software forever but was intimidated by it. I decided to

give it a try and it worked like a charm! I am in love with so many of 

these adorable SVG's I see on everyone's blogs and now I can partake

in the fun, yippee!

I made this card a couple weeks ago. I used the CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge

 for this scalloped circle card. I cut it at 5.25". I decided to make it an easel card.

 The circle layers are cut at 5.0" and 4.75". The banner was cut at .75" 

and stamped using the Craftin' Desert Diva's stamps. The top note layers were 

cut at 2.0" and 1.75".

I used some enamel brads to decorate the banner and glittery cardstock 

for the glasses, beak, and feet. I used some silvery mirror card stock 

for the lenses. I am so excited about this card and my first SVG cut! I am 

already working on other projects and can't wait to share them with you!

Thanks for visiting and don't forget to check out all the projects

Exploring Cricut & More - Sunshine Smiles & Critters

Hello Everyone! I hope you all had a Happy 4th of July. I'm so excited!
This is my first post as a Design Team Member for
Exploring Cricut and More ! Yay! 

Today I have a 5" x 7" card I made, using 4 Cricut Cartridges that I would 
like to share with you. This summer themed card was so much fun to make. 
It features 2 of my favorite critters from the Create A Critter Cartridge. 

Using Create A Critter I cut the kitty out at 2.5", the mouse at 1.75", the clouds at 1.0" & 1.25", the sun at 1.25", and the beach ball on the inside at 1.5". I wanted to dress them up for swimming so I cut the goggles (2.75") and ducky innertube (2.75") from the Teddy Bear Parade Cartridge. The innertube for the mouse (.25") came from the Pack Your Bags Cartridge.  

 I added plastic from my Cricut cartridge outer cases to the inside of the goggles. I cut the sign out using the Cricut Campout cartridge and craft and black cardstock. All the papers are from DCWV.  The Sunshine Smiles stamp is from Craftin Desert Diva's Stamps.

I hand cut the ground with a textured sandy colored cardstock. It has clear sparkles giving it just the right look. I inked everything up and layered some of the cuts with foam tape. I left it blank inside so I could decide the occasion later.

I love this cute & summery fun card! I hope you all are having some summer fun too! Be sure to check out the daily projects and biweekly challenges at Exploring Cricut & More !
