FCCB #104 - Out like a Lamb...

Hi All,

The challenge over at the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog this week is Out Like a Lamb.

Create a project with a gentle animal Lamb, kitten etc.

I chose to make this shaped card, and put a gentle bunny on my project with consideration to the Easter holiday coming up.

The designer paper I used here is a DCWV- Garden Party paper stack I purchase from Big Lots when I was doing some shopping in the US last fall.

I used the Kate's ABCs Cartridge for my main image and 

Elegant Edges Cartridge for the border and card base.

I punched some butterflies using Martha Stewart's Butterfly punch.

The Happy Easter sentiment is Well Scripted - Stampin' Up!.

Little Bundle...

Hi All,

Thought I would share this with you.

My Sister asked me to make a baby card for friend of hers. So, I made this for her. 

This is my 'go to' layout when I'm short on time to come up with something really spectacular.

I cut the card stock so the finished size end up being about 3" x 5".

I went around the outside front with 

Martha Stewarts Double Loops Punch Around the page punch set. 

Then I cut designer paper for the background to the same size as the solid inside portion and rounded the corners. 

The sentiment stamp, is Stampin' Up! - Punches Three, (discontinued)

which I coloured to match the designer paper with my Stamp 'n' Write markers from Stampin' Up!. I added some coordinating ribbon and.... Voila!... a beautiful card for any occasion.

FCCB #102 - In Like a Lion

Hi All,

The challenge over at the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge blog 

this week, is to make a project with any sort of cat, tiger, lion, etc. on it.

This sassy lookin' cool cat is a cut from the Nifty Fifties Cricut Cartridge,

I brushed on a white ink pad to define certain areas and added some bling to the collar.

This sentiment is from Robin's Creative Cottage - Snowman's Prayer.

(if you hurry you can still purchase this set before they are all gone).

I punched it out with a nestabilities die and sponged the edges in pink.

Be Happy!

Hi All,

I received this Small Madison Window die from Frantic Stamper

and this gorgeous stamp Tulip Garden from Your Next Stamp in the same week, 

and I just had to put them together on a card.

So happy with how this card turned out.

I coloured up the tulip garden with my copic markers and

cut it out (very painstakingly) with my fiskers knife and Cutter Bee scissors.

I then used my Morocco Lace punch from Ek Success to hang a valance in the die cut window.

The sentiment is retired from Stampin' Up! 

and the designer paper is 6 x 6 My Mind's Eye - Quite Contrary - Jack & Jill

on a craft card base.
