Jitterbuggin Card Challenge

Morning Friends!  Here is the sketch we had to follow for the Jitterbuggin Card Challenge:

Happy Spring everyone! This week let's make it look like spring by adding some Cricut flowers to our cards! Follow the sketch......add a Cricut flower.....and include pink and purple somewhere

My submission is a square card cut from pink cardstock.  I made two corners - one in purple and one in purple patterned paper that included some pink and lime green in the pattern.  I next added two rows of skinny pink rick rack ribbon.  I cut out a small Cricut flower, pop dotted it and put a pink pearl in the center.  I cut from George and Basics cartridge a circle in lime green paper then embossed it with Cuttlebug Swirls folder. Next using George and Basics I cut a smaller circle in white then stamped my spring stamp in the center.  Using Stampin' Up markers, I colored in the flower pot in purple, leaves in green and flower in dark pink and light pink.  All paper is from Stampin'Up, ribbon is from Oriental Trading, stamp from Big Lots.  Hope this card says Spring to you as much as it does to me!

Die Cuttin Divas Unused & Unloved Cartridge Challenge

The Die Cuttin Divas asked for a project using an old cartridge that had something on it I had never used.  I found mine to be the Zooballoo cart. There was a tree, a house and some grass that I found on the catridge that I never used.  A little embossing and I was on my way!

Mo Jo Monday and Icopic Challenge #22

I made this card over the weekend at a day crop I attended. It is for the Mojo Moday Challenge as well as the Icopic Challenge #22.  Mojo Monday's challenge was to use the following sketch:

The Icopic Challenge was to use any sketch but it needed to include the colors Green, Lime Green and Turquoise. 

I made a 4 1/2 x 6 1/2 card from Stampin' Up Old Olive green paper.  Next I used Marina Mist from Stampin' Up cardstock for the turquoise paper and embossed it with my Cuttlebug in a Nest folder.  I used a piece of light green cardstock for the center and placed the Red, Lime Green and Turquoise patterned paper that I inked in Really Red from Stampin' Up Ink next.  I placed a strip of Really Red on the side and added the Lime Green Diamond ribbon and bow on the side  I used a Stampin Up stame Delight in Life, stamped it on a piece of blush colored paper and backed it with the Really Red cardstock.  I colored in the flower on the stamp with my Stampin' Up markers.  (Hoping to win those Icopic Pens!)  I next cut a flower with my Cricut using the Accent Essentials cartridge.  Placed a Lime Green Brad in Center and Pop Dotted it.

Jitterbuggin' Challenge

I finally finished my card for the Jitterbuggin Challenge this week. The following sketch had to be followed and I needed to use the color green.

I used my Cricut cartridge Just Because Cards to cut a 5" square card in blue cardstock from Stampin' Up.  I cut a 4 3/4" square of Green Dots and 4 corners of Pink Fence (both papers were from the Celebrations Pack made by Cricut)  I attached 4 line of skinny pink ribbon then glued the corners over the edges.    Using the George Basic cartridge I cut a 3" rectangle in blue cardstock, then a 2 3/4" rectangle in white.  I inked the edges of the blue cardstock with Stampin' Up Marina Mist ink.  I stamped onto the white cardstock the "for you" and "corner swirls" stamps in Marina Mist ink.  I cut out 1/2" flowers from several different Cricut cartridges (I just looked at different ones and found a couple that I liked....any flower could be used for this design.)   After attaching them to the white cardstock I placed a tiny rhinestone in the center of each flower.  I cut a swirl pattern using the Serenage cartridge at 2", Cuttlebugged it with the Dotted Swiss folder and attached it to the white cardstock with a popdot.  I found a tiny sticker with of a flower pot with similar shaped flowers as the ones I had cut out and placed it in the "window" of the card on the left as a balancing point.  I think this will make a great Easter card for one of my family members!

Terrific Tuesday Challenge - Scrappy Mom Stamps

My third card challenge this week was for the Scrappy Moms Stamps Blogspot - Terrific Tuesday Challenge.  Their challenge was for a B is for Boy Cricut Cartridge however I didn't have that cartridge so I used the Boys will be Boys cartridge.  This card is going to my grandson on his birthday as he loves trucks!

I cut a 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" card from Stampin' Up orange cardstock.  Next I cut out the Oh Boy! phrase from the Boys will be Boys Cartridge.  I overlaid O B & Y with Green and Red striped paper.  Next I cut out the Dump Truck in black Shadow, Blue for the Cab of the truck and brown for the bed.  I next cut out the tires in black and embossed them with my Cuttlebug folder sticks and twigs.  The dump truck bed I embossed in diamond plating with my Cuttlebug.  I added white paper to the windows and the center of the truck tires then used Stampin' Up Crystal Effects on the window and front headlight.  The "rocks" were glued on individually.  The grass was cut from the Zoobaloo Cricut Cartridge and then embossed with the same folder as the tires.  I cut out a rounded square in yellow paper that matched the Oh Boy! phrase and stamped the word Yay! as well as two stars; colored them in green.  All stamp pads and pens are from Stampin' Up.

Cricut Cardz Challenge #66.

The second challenge this week was from Cricut Cardz Challenge #66.  The card had to have a Cricut Cut Border, the colors yellow, blue and white and needed to be a Thank you card.  I used my Just Because cartridge and cut out a 5 1/2" base from yellow card stock with a scalloped border.  I added an additional scalloped border in blue then faux stitched around the entire card with a black marker.  I found some pretty blue, green and peach flowered paper in my scrap box, glued down as second layer but first I added blue, green and yellow ribbon across the bottom.  I cut out a 1 1/2" circle and stamped thank you with Night of Navy blue ink from Stampin' Up.  Faux stitched with Night of Navy pen around the circle then pop dotted it for dimension.  In the center of the flowers on the card I added pearls.

Hip to be Square Challenge #51

Morning Friends and Happy St. Patrick's Day to you all!  It is a beautiful day here in Middle Tennessee and I thought it was perfect to open my windows, enjoy some fresh breezes and make my cards for the challenges that I follow each week.  Hope you all are enjoying your day as much as I am!

The first challenge I worked on today was for the Fantabulous Cricut Blogspot.  Their theme this week was Hip to be Square which required making a square cad using green and gold as your main colors.  I used Paper Studio card stock green for my card, Paper Studio Every Seasons polka dot Easter paper for my first layer.  I next cut out a rectangle in gold paper and embossed with my Cuttlebug branches and birds.  Added green grossgrain ribbon.  Next came my cute sunshine sticker.  I cut out on my Cricut an oval, stamped thank you and then faux stitched around it with a black marker. 

March Challenges

Hi Everyone!  Thanks to my loyal followers! 

This week I had surgery and am home resting.  I had some time to spend on making a few cards for the different challenges that I try to follow each week.

The first card I made was for The Jitterbuggin' Challenge Rainbows and Butterflies. The theme is rainbows......rainbows themselves.....or rainbow colors. Make any card....any sketch.....use a rainbow or rainbow colors......add a butterfly....and emboss something.

For this challange I made an A2 card in light blue cardstock.  I cut a smaller rectangle in purple and then embossed it with Flowers using my Cuttlebug.  I added yellow plaid ribbon at the bottom.  Using Everday Cards Cricut Cartridge, I cut out an ice cream sundae at 4".  Embossed the yellow soda glass and topped with glitter paper cut out in the shape of dripping ice cream.  I topped it with a cherry and stem.  I stamped for you with a butterfly underneath, added a green gem to the butterflys head and then using my ripple sissors I cut out free hand the small green rectangle cardstock.  I used all the colors of the rainbow on this card!

My 2nd submission this week was to Fantablulous Cricut Challenge #50:  Challenge #50 "Tree Time"
Create a project using any type of tree (i.e. palm, pine tree even a tree branch would do)

I cut out Marina Mist cardstock from Stampin Up to an A2 size card.  I added some sandy looking brown paper to the bottom for my beach effect.  My tree is a palm which I embossed with my Cuttlebug using the Swirls Sheet.  I had some irridescent pink paper left over from another project and cut out my oyster shell adding the pearl to the center.  Sunny Days I cut from Everyday Cards cartridge and embossed it using the Circles sheet.  Sunny Days HAVE to be arriving soon!
