Shaped Card--A Krafty Girls Challenge

Happy Tuesday!

Are you guys ready for another fun challenge starting today at Krafty Girls?

For challenge #13, we want you to show us a shaped card.

See, I told you it was fun ;)

I decided to pull out my gypsy and my Create A Critter cricut cartridge

and make this cute little skunk card.

Isn't she cute?

I sized her in my gypsy at 5". After all the layers were cut and she was assembled, I added some doodling around her and added a cute little flower in her hair. The sign that she is holding was done free hand. The sentiment is a stamp from Joy's Life.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today and taking a look at my latest creation!

I really appreciate it!

Little One

Hi blogging friends! I hope you are all having a fabulous Monday! I made this card for the DT call over at Cricut 360. It is a new challenge blog coming this July. For the call, you had to make a project with a bug (any kind) and the color lime green. Here is what I came up with:



Cute huh? I am really pleased with how it came out. For my onesie shaped card, I welded 2 onesie's sized at 5.5" each onto my gypsy using the New Arrival cricut Cartridge. Then I cut another onesie out of the lime green paper and paper pieced them onto the blue card to give the outfit the green accents. The caterpillar was cut out of Create A Critter at 2" and popped up with a dimensional to the front of the card. The words, "Little One" was cut out of New Arrival at 3/4". I added a little bow out of some twine to the caterpillar and did some faux stitching with my white gelly roll pen to finish it off.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by my blog and check out my latest creation! I really appreciate it! Have a great crafty day! :)

Happy Thursday! Today I will be showing you what I came up with for my second project in my exploration of Tags, Bags, Boxes and More. I decided to make the Triangle box.






I cut out the box at 5" and did some faux stitching all the way around the box and then I assembled it. For my clover, I welded 3 hearts and the letter "J" from George and Basic Shapes together. Super cute! Don't forget to stop by Kimberly's blog to see the awesome project she created!

Cartridge Toss-Up with Straight From The Nest part 2

Happy Thursday! So sorry for posting this so late. I have been having a slow kinda day around here. :)

For today's card, I wanted to make a simple but elegant card to have on hand for whatever occasion. Whether it be a birthday, thank you or just because. I was inspired by some little die-cut note cards in the SU idea book, and decided to see if I could make my own. Here is my card:




I took two rectangles from George and welded them together in my gypsy for my card base. I then took the medallion and sized it at 3" and welded that into the front of my card. Voila! Easy Peasy! I cut it out with my cricut and lined the inside of the card with some Pink Pirouette cardstock, added a scallop trim, a bow and a little rhinestone to the center and my card was complete. Quick and easy but so pretty at the same time. Gotta love that! Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by my blog today. I hope you have a great crafty day!

Happy Monday! I hope you are staying warm where you are as it is sure cold where I am. It is looking like a great crafting day!

Today marks the start of a new challenge over at Paper Therapy. This weeks challenge is to make a project with a snowflake on it. I decided to make little treat purses filled with little Hershey nuggets for my daughter to hand out to her friends this holiday.

I am so happy with how this turned out. I finally got around to using that free download for Gypsy users with the Tags, Bags, Boxes and more to make my little purse. I don't really know the size the purse was cut out at. I just sized it on my gypsy as big as I could get it. The snowflake was cut out with Accent Essentials at 2". I then added some bling, ribbon and a sentiment. I think these will be perfect little gifts for her to give to all her friends. Now,I just need to get busy making more of them. :)

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and take a look. I really appreciate it. Have a great crafty day!

Good Monday Morning Everyone! Today marks the beginning of another great challenge over at Paper Therapy. With Thanksgiving near, this weeks challenge is to make a Thank You card or a LO of something you are thankful for. Here is what I came up with for the challenge:



I think this card would be perfect to add a gift card inside to the recipients favorite coffee place. I used Smiley Cards for my tea cup cut at 2". I just left off the top layer that has the actual smiley face on it. I used some glossy accents on the patterned paper to give the look of porcelain. The "steam" is actually a flourish that was turned upside down, stamped and then embossed. The sentiment was actually typed on the computer and then just printed onto my card stock. I had so much fun making this card. Would love to see what you create for the challenge. Come on over to Paper Therapy and check us out. Thanks so much for taking the time to stop in and take a look. I really do appreciate it. I hope you have a great day!

Joy!

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great and safe Halloween! Monday's mark the beginning of a new challenge week over at Paper Therapy. This week's challenge is to make a card with a hole in it. It doesn't matter where the hole is, as long as there is a hole. It is also the first Monday of the Month which means, there is a prize given out to this week's winner.

This is what I came up with for the challenge:



I used my gypsy to weld a hole into my card base and top layer. I then used Lacy Labels for the wreath and the Joy sentiment. I then added a bow and some bling for some sparkle. Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and take a look. I really appreciate it. I hope you can stop by Paper Therapy this week and play along. I would love to see what you create!

Winter

Happy Monday! Today's card was made for the challenge over at My Pink Stamper. The challenge was to make a winter card, scrapbook page or other craft item with your cricut. This is what I came up with:



Please excuse the picture. No matter how many times I took it, it just wasn't coming out the way I wanted. I think it may be because of all the metallic papers.

For my card, I used Lacy Labels Cricut Lite cartridge. I used my Gypsy to weld the images to form the shape card at 5". I used DCWV metallic silver for the bottom layer and DCWV metallic light blue for the frame layer. For the snowflakes, I used some white flocking powder to give it a bit of a "snowy" feel. For the phrase, I used Winter from Gypsy Wanderings cut out at 1 1/2" for both the shadow as well as the phrase itself. Added a little bit of outlining with my white signo gel pen and added a white satin bow.

Thanks so much for stopping by to take a look, I really appreciate it. Don't forget about the DT call over at Paper Therapy. Scroll down one post to read more about it.

Throwback Thursday Challenge

Hi Everyone! Today's card was made for Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge over at My Creative Time with Emma. The challenge for this Thursday was to make a project using the Celebrations Cricut Cartridge (or any older cartridge) and having it be a birthday theme. This is only my 2nd time playing in her challenges, but I am loving them and find myself looking forward to Thursdays now. :) This is what I came up with:



The card base is a 5' square card. I used my gypsy and made the scallop square 4.75 x 4.75 and then used hide contour to hide the holes. I cut out the hat at 4" and the phrase at 2". The scallop square is popped up a little using dimensionals.

Happy 4th of July!

Hi! Today's card was made for the June Sketch Challenge over at Paper Therapy. We were challenged to make a card based off of pagemaps sketch but to turn the card into something Patriotic. This is what I came up with:



I cut out the firecrackers from the Stand and Salute Cricut Cartridge at 2 1/2 inches. I cut one each out of the blue and the red and then just paper pieced the red onto the blue. The border along the bottom also came from Stand and Salute. I used my gypsy to weld two of the banner borders together and cut it out to fit to length 3.4".
