Wishing You A Wonderful Day!

 Hi everyone and happy happy Monday!

Today starts a new challenge over at the Bitten By The Bug 2 Challenge Blog!

The theme for this challenge is...

Back To School!

Let's see some Cricut themed Back To School projects!

*Your project must include a Cricut cut on it somewhere*

Here is a look at the project that I created to share with you today:

I found this fun candy bar wrapper in Cricut Design Space. There are actually a bunch of designs for different occasions as well as different size candy bars, but I chose to go with this fun pencil that accommodates a long chocolate bar. This was really simple to put together! I loaded my papers onto my mat and the Cricut pretty much did all the work. After I had my pieces assembled, I added a sentiment to the front, a few doodles with a black and white pen, and a fun polka dotted bow. 

I think this would be so fun to put into a lunch box for a yummy surprise!

Nurse: Another Word For Hero

 Hi everyone!

I hope you are having a fabulous day!

Today is my day to take over the Paper Nest Dolls blog and I created a sweet card to share with you today that I made for my daughter.

I started my card by creating a dark blue card base and layering some fun Nurse themed patterned paper on top. I used a Zig Zag Die to cut out a piece of blue cardstock, as well as a piece of white cardstock, and added a bit of doodling around the perimeter. I added some twine before popping up the layer onto my card with some foam tape. I colored that adorable Essential Worker Nurse from Paper Nest Dolls with my Copic markers and cut her out with my Scan N Cut. Once I had her trimmed out, I popped her up onto my card with more foam tape. I stamped my greeting using a stamp set from MFT, did some more doodling and tucked it behind my image just a bit and finished my card by adding some enamel hearts and Nuvo drops.

I think this came out so cute and I can't wait to send this to my daughter! Hopefully it puts a smile on her face after a long day.

Charge!

Hi everyone!

I hope this finds you happy and healthy!

Today I have a super fun birthday card to share with you that I created with a few challenges in mind. 

Here is a look at the card that I created:

I started my card by creating a Slimline card from some Kraft Cardstock and layering a stitched panel on top. I then cut a scalloped rectangle from some white cardstock and popped it up with some foam tape. I adore these little Viking Kids from C.C. Designs! Aren't they adorable? I stamped three of them onto a piece of white cardstock and then masked them to create my background scene with distress oxide inks. Once I had my background created (dirt road, grass and sky), I removed the masks from the images, colored them with my Copic markers and adhered my image panel onto the scallop rectangle. I stamped my sentiment onto a piece of Kraft cardstock, wrapped some hemp twine around and popped it up with more foam tape to complete my card. 

I think it turned out so incredibly cute!!

I will be entering my card into the following challenges:

You Take The Cake

 Hi everyone!

I hope your day is off to a great start!

Today I am sharing a super fun birthday card that I created using an adorable image from Digi Doodle Studios called Franci & Bosco.

Isn't this fun? So simple to do too! I started by creating a card base from some white cardstock, covering it with some blue patterned paper and adding a white scallop rectangle on top. I used a metal die from MFT to cut out my greeting twice, once from my bright pink cardstock layer and again from some confetti patterned paper so that I could do a bit of inlay diecutting. I colored that adorable image from Digi Doodle Studios called Franci & Bosco with my Copic markers and used my Scan N Cut to cut her out. I popped her up with foam tape and completed my card with some fun confetti pieces, sequins and Nuvo drops. I think this came out so cute! 

I will also be entering my card into the following challenges:

Sweetest Day Ever!

 Hi everyone and happy happy Monday!

Today starts a new challenge over at the Bitten By The Bug 2 Challenge Blog!

The theme for this challenge is...

Watermelon! 🍉

Let's see some Cricut themed projects that feature watermelon!

*Your project must include a Cricut cut on it somewhere*

Here is a look at the card that I created to share with you today:

I created my card by using a thick piece of white cardstock to create my card base. I went old school and used a border punch from Fiskars to create that fun little lace border from some red cardstock and adhered it to some watermelon patterned paper. I added it to the bottom of my card and used a corner rounder to round the bottom two corners.   I cut a piece of green cardstock using a cross-stitch die and layered it on top of a piece of vellum. I added that to my card front along with my greeting. Isn't this little girl adorable? I found her at Little Scraps of Heaven and cut her out using my Cricut. Once I had her almost assembled, I used a face from Peachy Keen Stamps before adding her bangs. I added her to my card and added some glossy accents to the watermelon seeds and some tiny little red rhinestones for her earrings. I completed my card with some black enamel dots and some black doodles along the perimeters. I think this turned out so adorable!
