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 - 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.

#90 - Rolling in Ribbon

Hi All,

The Fantabulous Cricut Challenge this week is to

Add ribbon to your project

I love adding ribbon to my projects it just adds such girly flare.

I came up with this shaped card inspired by this sentiment from

Robin's Creative Cottage - Snowman's Prayer.

The tag is from

Tags, Bags, Boxes & More Cricut Gypsy cartridge

I used this plaid ribbon for the snowman's scarf

and ran his hat through my Cuttlebug

using the Tim Holts Bricked embossing folder for texture.

#87 – Thank You

Hi All,

The Fantabulous Cricut Challenge this week is to

Create a card or project with the words

“Thank you” (or “Thanks”) on it.

These delightful cherries are from the

Gypsy Wanderings Cricut cartridge

that came loaded on my Gypsy hand held.

The sentiment is a stamp set from

My Favorite Things called Feelin' Fruity?.

(I checked on there website but i couldn't find it so I think it may be discontiuned)

The base of the card is Kiwi Kiss card stock that I had in my stash. (Love this colour)

I stamped the background with my

Friend Definition-Hero Arts background stamp

and ran it through the cuttlebug using my

QuicKutz Polka Dots, Embossing Folder.

I added some bling and ribbon.

#81 – Décor and More

Hi All,

I'm coming in just under the wire with this.

Over at the Fantabulous Cricut challenge blog this week,

the challenge was to "Create a project to hang on the wall".

I had a hard time with this one, this week because I usually make cards.

But today was my sister's birthday,

and yesterday she had asked me to make here a wreath for her front door.

So I came up with this

A detailed close up below.

I used my Gypsy Wonderings cartridge to cut out all those leaves

from Stampin' Up! card stock and designer papers.

I also ran some of the leaves through my cuttlebug using the script embossing folder

and then sprayed them all with Perfect Pearls Mist.

The ribbon was given to me on a gift I received,

I added a button and some twine to finish off.

Thanks again for stopping' by...

Give Thanks!

This week's FCCB challenge #79 is Create a project with leaves on it.

So I employed my Gypsy Wonderings cricut cartridge to create this card, using Stampin' Up! card stock. The ribbon I used is May arts which I coloured with Tim Holtz Distress Inks.

This 4" square card is smaller thank I usually make.

Thanks for stoppin' by...
