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....

FCCB #114 - Memorial Day

Hi All,

The challenge over at the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog this week is to make a project using the color red plus anything that makes you think of Memorial Day (ie. a flag, military symbol, or poppy).

I cut the card base from the Wild Card cricut cartridge. The tan and red circles are cuts from Accent Essentials cartridge. The coloured up this poppy image from Gina K's - Hugs & Prayers set with my Stampin' Write markers and the sentiment is Stampin' Up's - Define Your Life.

Memorial Day is not a Holiday we have here in Canada, but I want to wish our neighbours to the south a Good day.

FCCB #100 - Color Challenge

Hi All,

The challenge over at the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge blog this week is to create a project

Use the three colours associated with Fantabulous Cricut 

(purple,green and turquoise) somewhere on your project.

I used my Wild Card Cricut cartridge to cut out the card base and overlays.

This is Willow, a digital images from the Lil Fashionette collection over at Tickled Pink stamps.

The sentiment is computer generated by me.

And the image was coloured up with my Stampin' Up! pencil crayons and gamsol.

FCCB #99 - Fancy Trims

Hi All,

The challenge over at the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge blog this week is to 

create a project Using fabric, lace or other trims.

A friend of mine asked me to make a baby card 
for a family member who just had a baby.

So naturally, my first thought was this adorable cut from 

the Wild Card Cricut cartridge (pg.76).
The sentiment from Sweet Little Sentiments - Stampin' Up! 
is layered onto Nestabilities ovals and Scallop ovals.
Using a chocolate chip Stampin' Write marker, 
I added stitching lines all around and highlights with a white gel pen.
I sponged the edges and added 
Lace Trim from KaiserCraft and a bow to finish.

"Spooky Time"

Hi All,

Another great challenge from the Fabulous Cricut Challenge blog.

I started out with the Ornamental Iron Cricut cartridge,

using my Gypsy, I welded an A2 size rectangle to the 2 gates.

I wanted it to look like the viewer is looking through a gate.

Theresa Momber over at Crafting the Web

has some great tutorials on how to make scenes like this

by masking off and applying ink with sponge applicators etc.

I used various distress inks from Tim Holtz.

I cut out the bats from the Wild Card Cricut Cartridge (pg.68)
The scary house stamp is just a $1.50 stamp from Michaels.
The picture below shows the sentiment hanging on the gate.
