Seaside Tissue box cover

I made this for my SIL and BIL - their downstairs bathroom is an adorable seaside theme.
The tissue box is a pattern I learned online (search tissue box on my blog to get the link). I had to tweak the original design to fix the Puffs plus lotion tissues that I buy.

I cut out panels to emboss at 4 1/2 x 4 1/2
The sea shells are from Stretch your Imagination Cricut cartridge at 4 3/4"

The border is a Martha Stewart punch

SYI Cricut MB challenge

Created this for the Cricut MB to use only cuts from Stretch Your Imagination Cricut cartridge
The base card is cut at 5" on the machine
The inner turtle in the frame is 2"
The inside Turtle is 1 1/4" and the bubble (which is actually the paisley frame is 2"

I used the left over wave to add it to the bottom of the card with a little foam and a little dark blue Stickles

"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.

Polka Doodles: Enfy's challenge

I subcribe to Enfy's BLOG, Going Buggy

This week she explained to use that at Polkadoodle challenge blog - folks are to use fruit in a card and also a hidden feature.

So - as you may or may not know, I am always up for a challenge. Off to work I went. I wanted to do a watermelon, found one on the Stretch Your Imagination Cricut cartridge and had to cut multiple times. After an hour - I think I finally came up with a creation I liked. I used a StudioG sentiment as the hidden message. The back ground embossing folder is from Sizzix. Added seeds to the corners. Stampin Up ticket punched used in the corners.

Inside - inked and use Stampin' Up ticket punch to fall in line as the front of the card. TFL!

This was fun! Try it out and post on Polkadoodle challenge
