Old Country Christmas

Moxie Fab World is having an Old Country Christmas challenge. I decided to try to make a winter scene looking out of a window. Since I used so many different Cricut cuts for this card, I am also entering it into the Just Buggin Challenge #12.


The frame and the trees in the background are from the Cricut Camp Out cartridge. I thought the frame looked kind of like an old window, and I inked all over to give it a more aged appearance. I welded the trees to the shadow frame in the back. On the blue background, I stamped some snowflakes and heat embossed with some glittery embossing powder. I also added Frosted Lace Stickles to the trees and branch to look like snow.

The raised branch and the cardinal are from the Winter Woodland cartridge. and I welded the shadow branch to the raised frame. The picture above shows the dimension.


The sign at the bottom is from the Camp Out cartridge and the holly leaves and berries are from Winter Woodland. The sentiment stamps are Papertrey Ink.

Thanks so much for Looking!

It's a Girl!

A co-worker asked me to make a baby girl card this weekend. Whenever someone asks me to make a specific card, I always need to look around blog land for all of the challenges out there to get some inspiration. So I found a couple of challenges perfect for this card:


Challenges:
Pink Elephant: Sketch
Cupcake Crafts: Digital images

My favorite digital images are Pink Petticoat. This image is from the Pink Petticoat Sweet Cheeks set. I colored it on my computer.

The person who requested the card also requested some ruffles, so I added a ruffle in the middle.


Thanks for Looking!

Raspberry Suite Challenge #19

Dawn McVey posted a new challenge - Raspberry Suite #19, and I just had to give it a try! Here are the colors:

Wow- there are a lot of colors there! Here is my card:

I used Nestabilities to cut the flowers. Don't you just love buttons! These buttons are all from Papertrey Ink - they have the best assortments of buttons in all of the coordinating colors.

I had to use one of the sentiments from the new Papertrey Ink Signature Sentiments set. I stamped the sentiment with a VersaMagic Sea Breeze pigment ink, then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.


I stamped a text background on each of the smaller flowers. Finally added some hemp cord with glass beads.

Thanks for Looking!

Girly, You Rock!

Yippee! I got my package from Papertrey Ink yesterday. One of the items I ordered was the new Signature Greetings set. All of the stamps in the set are fantastic, but the main one that caught my eye was the "Girly You Rock" stamp. So I just had to use it today!

I am entering this card in 3 challenges:
Die Cuts R Us: Girly project
Cute Card Thursday: Teen Terrors
Just Buggin: Use at least 3 Cricut cuts

I just love the skull on the Cricut Indie Art cartridge! But I modified it slightly and welded hearts in for eyes instead of the grouchy eyes that it usually has. The crown is from the Home Decor cartridge. I also welded some swirls together in the background - those were from Home Decor as well. On the black and light pink backgrounds, I embossed with the Cuttlebug Perfectly Paisley folder.


My favorite frame is this swirly frame from Storybook cartridge.

I finished off with a bow secured with some twine and beads. I got the seal of approval from my daughter - she loved this card!

Thanks for Looking!
