FCCB - #117 B-B-Q Time

Hi All,
Another great challenge from the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog.
This week the challenge is B-B-Q Time: 
Make a project using BBQ or picnic foods.
What says summer more than a juicy slice of watermelon?
For my project I used 2 cricut cartridges, Live Simply & Potpourri Basket.
I added some faux stitching and twine to a ColorBok button.
The sentiment I chose is from a discontinued set 
My Favorite Things - Feelin' Fruity.

Thanks for stoppin' by...

FCCB Father's Day...

Hi All,
Another great challenge over at the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge blog.
This week the challenge is Father's Day.
Here I used the Kate's ABCs cricut cartridge, cut the letters along with the shadow feature at 2.8" 
and ran it through my Cuttlebug using my Square Lattice embossing folder from Stampin' Up! to add texture.
The little truck is cut at 1.75" from the Wild Card Cricut cartridge. 
I sponged all the edges and added highlights with a white gel pen.
Using Jessie's ABCs from Lawn Fawn for the sentiment, I stamped the letters and then cut it into a flag shape. These alphabet stamp sets, great when you don't have the right stamp.
The card ended up being about 3" x 8" which can fit in a #10 envelope.
Thanks again....

Strawberry Cupcake...

Hi All,
I made this card for a friend of mine from work who celebrated a birthday recently.
This cut is from the Love You A Latte cricut cartridge. (i love this cart).
I ran the icing, strawberry and cupcake base through various embossing folders to add texture and dimention.
The sentiment is discontinued from Stampin' Up!.
By adding tiny brads and twine the card was complete.
