Cut It Up Challenge #27 Labor Day

 

I am so excited to be posting my first project as a DT member at Cut It Up Challenges! The challenge for the next two weeks is Labor Day - Celebrating Pregnancy or New Baby. My card is very simple, but I think it turned out really cute. I used New Arrival for the cute baby girl outfit and the Swiss Dots embossing folder to give it some texture. I rounded my corners of my card and mat and used my Fiskars Sea Pearls corner punch for the patterned paper corners. I also ran my green mat through the Swiss Dots folder. I popped up the patterned paper and outfit with foam tape, as well as my sentiment that came from TPC Studio's Beautiful Baby Girl stamp set. The inside of my card has the same patterned paper as the front with a border created with Spellbinders Edgeabilities Classic Scallop. My ribbon is from American Crafts and the sentiment is from the same TPC set. I think this would be such a cute baby announcement to send to family and friends. Hope you like and I do have a video showing how it all came together. Thanks so much for checking out my card, and be sure to check out the other DT's projects!  This challenge is sponsored by Too Cute by Jessica and a $20 gift certificate is up for grabs, so get your project linked up for your chance to win!!!

 

I will also be entering this into Craftin' Desert Divas Baby Challenge and HIMCR Anything Goes Challenge.

100th Post - Lucky Charms!

I was so excited to get my early Birthday/Mother's Day presents in the mail yesterday! Four new cartridges, including Create-A-Critter 2!  I just had to get it out and make one last St. Patrick's Day card using this cute little worm!  I love all the little accessories in this cartridge and as I was putting this card together they just reminded me of charms...so here is my Lucky Charms card.  I used glitter paper for the little worm and popped him and the charms up with some dimensionals.  I used Fiskars corner punch Sea Pearls and the paper is from The Paper Studio All Seasons pack from Hobby Lobby.  This card is going to be linked up to a few challenges - Little Scrap Pieces "Luck of the Irish", More Than Favors "Something Green/St. Patrick's Day", and Die Cuttin Divas "Green and Gold".  I hope everyone remembers to wear green tomorrow!!!

Bye Bye Birdie Challenge #151

I am so excited to post my very first Design Team project!  FCCB's "Bye Bye Birdie" is such a fun challenge!  I love all the different bird images that the Cricut carts have and the fun sentiments that go along with them from so many stamp sets out there, I wish I could have them all.  Anyway, my little bird is cut from the Home Decor cart and I cut him out with some fun glitter paper.  The patterned paper is from DCWV Pocket Full of Posies stack and it is fun and glittery too.  I used Edgeabilities Classic Scallop for the top border and for the sentiment corners I used Fiskars Corner Punch "Sea Pearls".  The sentiment itself is by Studio 112 that I picked up from Joann's in the $1 bin.  The ribbon I got from Michael's out of a $1 bin too.  Love the $1 bins!  I used Wisteria ColorBox Chalk Ink to ink around the edges of the tag and ColorBox Eggplant Pigment Ink for the sentiment.  This was a fun card to make and now I need to find out some fun juicy gossip so I can send this card out :)
