SPS and TPE Birdhouse card


Cut the Birdhouse at 2" from Create A Critter, the back ground was embossed wih a Sizzix folder. Studio18 rhinestones from an open package in my bling draw!

All elements on this card are from my scrap pile right on my table! Yes oh yes - the pile is there... A couple scrap smaller ... till next week or so...

Inside sentiment from Inkadinkado and little pink hearts from a tiny heart punch.

I am entering this card in two Challenges - Maria's Scrap Pile Saturday (use three hearts) and The Pink Elephant (the layout)

Vintage card


You know when you have a vision of how you want a card to come out - but it changes along the way. This is close to what I wanted to occur with this creation.

The puzzle pieces were cut from Locker Talk Cricut cartridge at 3". I then Stamped the hummingbird/birdbath image (Inkadinkado) using brown StazOn ink. It covered fabulously!
I glued down all but the upper corner piece which I tilted and raised on a foam square.
The ribbon, flowers, border and rhinestones are all from Stampin' Up.
I am entering this card in these challenges
1) Cuttlebug Challenge Vintage Valentine
2) Tuesday Taggers - in which we had to use a puzzle piece (I used all 9)
3) The Pink Elephant - we had to use polka dots, a bow and the color pink
4) Die Cuts R Us - use ribbon
5) Doodle Palace - something new - the stamp image and all the SU products were new - I got today
I think this will go to my MIL.

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

Dream


I created this card for two challenges - one at Get Sketchy Challenge # 15 and the other at The Pink Elephant - you had to use plaid and brads (no ribbon). The bonus at Get Sketchy was to also paper piece which I did with the dove.

Card is 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 opens on short side. The dove was cut from Indie Art at 3". The paper is from Provo Craft and the mini brads are from Michael's Recollections collection.

Mayflower thanks


I made this for The Pink Elephant challenge #41 to use this shape - I just so happen to have Wild Card Cricut cartridge and cut this at 4 1/2.

The Ship is cut at 3" from PPDU. Happy Thanksgiving is from Wild Card cut at 3"
I tore blue paper to resemble water.
Inked and doodled and raised the ship on foam squares.
