Happy Anniversary

Made this for an up coming anniversary (not mine) and used the Wild Card Cricut cartridge for all the hearts.
Don't you love the little pocket! The cute tag is also on Wild Card cart (heart card page 67) I just cut a strip of paper rounded the corners and used two eyelets to make a pocket - ribbon through the eyelets for a little dimension. This element helped me also enter the card on Quixotic challenge "Tag it". All the hearts are raised on foam squares.

The back ground white card is stamped and embossed with embossing powder and heat gun.
I was inspired by the challenge at BBtB2 - become a follower today they have great ideas and challenges!
Also entering this at Daring Cardmakers - put hearts on a project for their Have a Heart challenge
MS glitter and pearls as well added for bling.

10 Wishes

I made this card for a Cricut Fairy Mission for a little girl with a form of childhood cancer. I am a member of the Cricut Card Fairy - so I am dedicating most of my cards today - to create and mail them to the current missions.
To help me create this card I used 4 challenges
1) Cuttlebug Spot - use the #10 (my 10 wishes - butterflies) 10 cut at 3/4" from A Child's Year cartridge. Butterflies were punched using Martha Stewart punch. The back ground of the card is a Cuttlebug numbers folder.
2) Daring cardmaker to use points - the points is the Marta Stewart star border punch
3) Colour Create Challenge #36 was to use the colors - Kraft, Blue and White
4) And to tie it all together - I use the sketch from The Pink Elephant

Mission 501

Tri-Challenge card

I created this card tonight for three individual challenges:
1) Use the Get Sketchy # 18 layout.
2) Followed the color combo at Crafty Catz which was brown, creme, white and gold
3) Daring Cardmakers - use polka dots - (Cuttlebug embossing folder on base and butterfly)

Thank You

I created this card for two challenges, Sketch 57 at One Stop Craft Challenge and at Daring Card Makers to use Sepia (brown and Creme)
I received a few comments on the "circle" accent piece - it is actually a Spellbinders die that I bought on my recent purchase at Die Cuts R Us.

Winter Wishes

I created this card with three challenges in mind
1) Crafty Catz - use a fairy on your holiday card (I used a Studio G stamp glittered)
2) Daring Cardmakers - to make a white card with only a hint of color
3) Frosted Designs - to use the same shape but diff sizes - I used the rectangle
I added punches of snowflakes from Martha Stewart, glittered and raised on foam dots

"S" have it!

Over at Daring Cardmakers we had to make a card using elements of our first initial of our first name. Well mine is Sheryl = S... boy this had me stumped for a few days. So I searched the cricut cartridges last night and found these "S".
On Stretch your Imagination cartridge (hee hee "S") I used sand castle, sea shells, and using my Cuttlebug I used Swiss Dot (yes another s) for the clouds that I hand cut and I used the Swirls embossing folder. Whew!
What a fun card - I like it. Oh I forgot - the card is a square (yes one more s....) and I used Stampin' Up card stock (another "S").

Shells were cut at 2", sand castle was cut at 3", card is 4 x4" square.

Thank You

I created this card with a few challenges in mind.

What sparked the creation was at Daring Cardmakers - they asked us to make a card using 5 things that is our favorite.

Mine are:

ink (got to have ink - I love ColorBox Cats eyes for great control)

pearls (Basic Grey)

striped pattern paper (Provo Craft)

ribbon (Martha Stewart)

punches (Martha Stewart and SU)

and my cuttlebug (Swiss dots on the butterfly) - ok so that's 6... but I got 5 anyways.

I also made this into a spring card for Charisma Cardz #42 challenge and followed along at Frosted Designed to make it pop. The butterfly is popped up with foam squares, the sentiment is also on foam circles. And the inside butterfly as well is 3D. We also had to have layers which I do. The base card (1), the pattern paer (2) the punches (3)

Happy Birthday Tony

Made this card for my nephew's birthday with the help of three challenges:

Daring Cardmakers - use a clear acent. I used a printer transparency and embossed it using the Cuttlebug Happy Birthday folder.

MAF - to use the sketch below

Challenge #41 - It's So Distressing at Charisma Cardz we are to Distress your card. I used various techniques. I ink various pieces, I crumbled cardstock (under image) and then inked and I also used my Basic Grey distressing files and inked the image piece as well.

Daring Cardmakers - tartan challenge - hope

I know I have tartan ribbon and cloth - of course I could not find it in my craft area.

Here is a card I came up with for this challenge at http://daringcardmakers.blogspot.com/ called 'Tartan it up'.

Background was embossed with the Cuttlebug folder, I pulled out a word - hope and glittered it using my 2-way Zig glue pen.

Added ribbon and a rhinestone to match the card.

Congratulations on your new home

Over at http://daringcardmakers.blogspot.com/ they posed a Shabby Chic challenge.

I used Victoria Cuttlebug Folder, lace, a button to complete my card.
