Cricut 360 Challenge #2

Happy Friday! Are you guys ready for another great challenge at Cricut 360 this week? Thanks so much for stopping by last week at Cricut 360 and playing along, we hope you had fun. This week the challenge is to make a Thank You Card in the shape of a circle using any cartridge you would like.

This is what I made:



For my card, I cut my base out of the Wild Card Cricut Cartridge at 5". The purple circle was cut out of George and Basic Shapes at 4" and then embossed with the Victoria Cuttlebug Folder, the sentiment "Thank You" came from All Occasion Cake art and was cut out at 2".

Tacky Tuesday's Challenge #8

Happy Tuesday! Today marks the beginning of another great challenge over at Tacky Tuesdays! For the challenge this month, you need to use a "cool treat" die cut and the word "sweet" must be used in your sentiment. A cool treat is an ice cream, popsicle, sundae, etc. Here is what I came up with:



All in all, I'm pretty pleased with how my card came out and I think that ice cream cone from doodlecharms is still one of my favorite cuts. My ice cream cone was cut from DoodleCharms at 3.75". For the cone, I just placed it on my scoreboard and scored some lines to give it the look of a real cone. The ice cream was embossed using the D'vine swirls cuttlebug folder and the background was embossed using the Swiss Dots cuttlebug embossing folder. The crinkle ribbon was made for me by my very good friend Kimberly.

Here are the rules to play in this Tacky Tuesday's challenge:

1. Use the cut specified
2. Use the word specified in your sentiment
3. Link to the Tacky Tuesday's Facebook Page before 7/19/2011

Cricut 360 Challenge #1

Happy Friday!!! Guess what? Today marks the beginning of the very first challenge at Cricut 360! How exciting! We would like to invite you to come play along with us! The first challenge is a great one and I am sure you are going to love it. For the very first challenge, we challenge you to make an invitation of ANY kind. Birthday, wedding, concert, etc. This is what I came up with:



I thought this would be a cute invite to a ice cream social or even a birthday party. For my invitation, I used the Birthday Bash Cricut Cartridge. Using the card/tag function key, I cut out my card and the layers at 6.5". I used the D'Vine Swirls cuttlebug embossing folder for the embossing on my card. I added some glitter, doodling and a little bow. It was so easy to do and I am really pleased with how it turned out.

So are you ready to play along? I really hope you do. There is even a great prize for this week's winner. You can find out all the info at Cricut 360.
