Bitten By The Bug 2 --- Use A Shamrock

Happy Monday!

Are you guys ready for another fun challenge that starts today over at

Bitten By The Bug 2?

In honor of St. Patrick's Day being tomorrow, this week is all about showing us your projects that feature a Shamrock from one of your Cricut Cartridges. 

I decided to make a little treat bag to hold some candy in to give to someone tomorrow.

I used my Gift Bag Punch Board to make my little bag. I then added a little scallop border all the way around the top by punching a thin strip with a scallop border punch. I cut my shamrocks out of the Celebrate With Flourish Cricut Cartridge and layered it onto some circles and added a few sequins for a bit more sparkle. Instead of adding handles to my bag, I simply threaded the gold ribbon through the holes and tied it closed with a bow in the front of the bag. I think it came out super cute and I love all that gold sparkle!

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

I really appreciate it! 

Don't forget to head over to the Bitten By The Bug blog to see all the shamrock projects my Design Team sisters created! After you take a peek at their creations, I hope you will create a project and join us in the challenge! I would love to see what you make :)

Bitten By The Bug 2 --- Use A Birdcage

Happy Monday!

Are you guys ready for another fun challenge that starts today over at

Bitten By The Bug 2?

This week, we want to see your projects that feature a birdcage.

Here is what I created for the challenge:

For my card, I decided to go for a elegant feel. I let the patterned paper be my inspiration and everything just came together pretty easily. I added some lace to the back of my my embossed white layer and popped it up with some foam adhesive for some dimension. My birdcage came from the French Manor Cricut cartridge. I added a few pearls to my cage as well as a ribbon bow and a little bit of ribbon for the cage to "hang'. I added some pretty little roses to the corner and curled the green wire for a bit of interest. You can't really tell in this picture but I added some glossy accents to the bird. I didn't add a sentiment to it just yet. I will add one to the inside when the time comes to use the card or I may just end up leaving it blank so that I can use it for a no occasion needed type of card.  I am so happy with how this turned out!

Terrifc Tuesday Challenge-- All You Need Is Love

Happy Tuesday!
Are you all ready for a new Terrific Tuesday Challenge over at the Scrappy Moms blog?

The theme for this Terrific Tuesday Challenge is.... All You Need Is Love
Here is the card that I created for the challenge:

Lovey dovey cards are one of my most favorite types of cards to make. I love making them and then hiding them somewhere for a member of my family to find them, just because. Whether it is a lunchbox, in the car, or even sandwiched between some folded laundry. It always seems to help brighten up their day, if they are having a bad one, when they find them.  For this card, I used a sweet little girl SVG that I found at My Scrap Chick. Isn't she darling? I paired her up with that super sweet sentiment from the Smitten set by Scrappy Moms Stamps. I heat embossed my greeting using some white embossing powder to make it pop off of that dark pink cardstock. 

Here is a look at the entire Smitten set:

I love this set so much!

Bitten By The Bug 2---Old Stuff Day

Happy Monday!

Are you guys ready for another fun challenge that starts today over at

Bitten By The Bug 2?

This week is all about using a Cricut Cartridge that you have not used in awhile in honor of National Old Stuff Day.

I decided to get a head start on some Easter projects by making a cute little treat bag.

I cut my bag out of the Once Upon A Princess cartridge. Once I had that assembled, I cut a small square of patterned paper to layer onto the front. Isn't that little bunny cute? He is from the Teddy Bear Parade cartridge. I love this cartridge and was quite shocked when I realized that I hadn't used it since September 2013! I added a cute little peachy keen face to him and a fun sentiment from Scrappy Moms Stamps. I added a few doodles using my white gel pen and some glossy accents to his little bow tie.

Scrappy Moms February Release--Project 3

Happy Sunday!

I found this slider card over at SVGCuttingFiles and thought it would make such a cute card paired with this cute little sentiment from the Smitten set from Scrappy Moms.

The top just slides out so you can write your sentiment:
