Fantabulous Challenge - Kitty Card

Hey everyone,
 
Today I am sharing a card I made using this week's Pet Challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge
 
Here's my card:
 
 
I CASE'd (copy and share everything) from myself.  Ha!  A couple of weeks ago, I created this CARD, and I really loved how it turned out, so I decided to make a kitty card.  I used the Create a Critter for both kitty and the balloon.

Exploring Cricut...Summer Memories

Hi Everyone,

I have a fun and simple card to share with you for this week's Exploring Cricut and More Challenge.  This weeks theme is "Here Comes Summer" and we were asked to incorporate blue and red.  When I think of summer, I remember my mom dressing me up with denim shorts or denim overalls and playing outside with my brothers - climbing trees, bike riding and eating ice-cream.  Oh, those were the days!


 
 
I started out with Whisper White card base, and red patterned paper from my stash.  I divided the top and bottom of the card with a strip of red ribbon and red taffeta ribbon, which I made into a bow.  The ovals were die-cut from more Whisper White and Blue card stock using the ovals spellbinders.  I used the Cricut Cartridge Freshly Picked, and cut out the denim pants at 3 inches.  The sentiment is from SU! Petite Pairs, and was stamped in Basic Black ink.  For the final touch, I added 2 red dots to the overalls.

CMCC#15.... Birthday Girl

Happy Friday,

Just popping in quickly to share a card I made using the color challenge over at Colour Me...


 
 
 
 
I wanted to create simple card, and I thought this color combo was a good fit.  My card base is Whisper White, and the patterned paper is from DSP Patterns Stack Bright Collection.  The cute purse was die-cut with the Memory Box Chic Bag, and I added a pretty flower using the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch.  The sentiment is from SU! Petite Pairs, and was stamped in Basic Black ink.  Something was missing, so I decided to add a small banner on the top left hand side of the card using MFT Mini Pennant Dies.  A trio of pearls on the banner and on the flower finishes off the details. 
 
Other Challenges:

Wishing everyone a great weekend,

I can't believe today is the first day of April.  Time is flying!  I came across a card challenge called Addicted to CAS, and I wanted to give it a whirl.

                                     
My card

 
 
I started out with Whisper White card base.  I took another piece of cardstock and overlapped it to form a window to showcase the little cars.  I then used some washi tape to simulate the road. The cars are from Hero Arts Three Fun Cars, and was stamped in Pacific Point ink.  The sentiment is from SU! Petite Pairs, and was stamped in Basic Black ink.

CMCC#12... Pretty Flowers

Happy Thursday!

Today, I am sharing a card I made using the color challenge over at Colour Me.


My card:
 
To make my card, I began with a Whisper White card base, and added layers of pretty patterned paper from my stash.  I used the Blossom Party Original die to create the flowers.  These were the only ones that would fit perfectly diagonally.  The sentiment is from SU! Petite Pairs, stamped in Early Espresso ink and die-cut with the circle nesties.  The image panel is matted on Pear Pizzazz card stock (it looks darker in the picture).  For some added details, I adhered 2 tiny pearls to the butterfly.

The Kraft Journal.... Birthday Wishes

Hi Friends,

I'm popping in quickly to share a card I put together using the sketch from The Kraft Journal Challenge.



My card:




The card base is Kraft, with layers of brown and green gingham card stock.  I took a piece of Night of Navy and embossed it with SU! Stripes folder, and adhered to the left hand side of the card.  The die-cut circles were created with the circle nesties.  The car is from Hero Arts Three Fun Cars stamp set, and was stamped in Night of Navy ink.  The sentiment is from SU! Petite Pairs, and was stamped also in Night of Navy ink.  Since it's masculine card, I refrained myself from adding any bling! 

I'm also adding this card to Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes.

The layout for my card is an old sketch from Verve:



My card:



 I kept my card simple and on the clean side, keeping the colors as the main focus.  The card base is Whisper White, followed with another layer of the White.  The patterned paper is from SU! Festival of Prints.  The vase was die-cut from PTI-Mega Gracious Vases.  The flowers are from SU! Stippled Blossoms.  I stamped the sentiment from SU! Petite Pairs in Basic Black ink, and die-cut it with the Circle Spellbinders.  I then simply tied a small bow using some Island Indigo Baker's Twine.  The final details are two pearls on the top left hand side of the card.

52CCT & Just Add Ink..Santa

Happy Hump Day!

Today I am sharing a card I made for this week's 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown - Pick a Previous! Challenge and Just Add Ink...Santa!.   

                                
                                      


                      
                                        JAI 194

My card:




My card today features a sketch Santa Claus from Flourishes called Santa I Believe.  I started out with Whisper White, Basic Black and pretty patterned paper from SU! Festival of Prints DSP.  I stamped the image in Crumb Cake ink, and adhered it on a piece of Black card stock.  I really like how it made the image stand out.  I then took some retired red ribbon from Stampin Up and wrapped it in both corners.  The sentiment is from SU! Petite Pairs, and was stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink.  This was a fun card to create!

I'm also linking up to Stampin' for the Weekend Challenge - Use Some Red.
