FCCB 132 - Columbus Day

Hi All,

Happy Thanksgiving.

The challenge this week over at the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog is 

Columbus Day, make a project with a ship on it.

I didn't have a ship so, I decided make a baby card using this sweet little boat from the Gypsy Wanderings cartridge. 

I cut out the boat using the shadow feature to make the shape, then I cut out the boat and ran it through a swiss dots embossing folder. By sponging on some Tim Holts Faded Jeans the dots were more enhanced. The faux stitching line completed the look.

FCCB 130 - Birthday Celebration

This week at the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog, 

the challenge is to create a birthday project with a candle on it.

The good folks at ZVA Creative are sponsoring us this week.

I love the way the ZVA bling lent itself to the curves on this cupcake form the Home Decor cartridge.
I mixed a couple of different stamps to get the sentiment.

How fun is that?

For my project, I chose to incorporate a big yellow school bus.

I started with this Cricut Cut from the Potpourri Basket cartridge.

I ran the bus through the Cuttlebug folder-Flowers.

Then added some clouds by masking and sponging on some Stormy Sky Tim Holtz Distress ink.

The first sentiment is from Stamping Bella and the other is a combination of MFT-Joy Ride and Lawn Fawn's Jessie's ABCs.

The Designer Series Paper is from Stampin' Up!.

FCCB - National Tooth Fairy Day...

Hi All,

In recognition of National Tooth Fairy Day, 

The Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog 

has another great challenge for us today.

This time the challenge is to make a project 

using a tooth, tooth fairy or smile.

I chose to make a window card using the word phrase 'Smile' 

from the Gypsy Wanderings cartridge.

All the layers for this card are cut from the great new petite paper stack from Lawn Fawn.

The card was finished by adding some stitching lines in white and black 

pens along with a small punch flower over the 'i'.

Remember to check out the other great projects in this 

challenge today by the Fantabulous design team.

FCCB #123 - Jump in and Cool off!...

Make a Splash...On you Birthday!

Another great challenge from the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog this week!

Challenge #123 is Jump in and Cool off! Make a project with a water theme.

I've always loved this bikini on the Nifity Fifties cartridge, 
So this was my chance to use it.

The font on the Kate's ABC's cartridge is also useful for large word card images.
I added this punched boarder from EK Success - Beach Scene.
....and sticking lines alway finish off a card nicely

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....
