For the inside I used the Happy Birthday patterned paper for each of the three panels. For the left hand panel I used one of the presents on the Yummy cartridge cut at 3”. I also used my new stickles. I used the Glam Pink to bling up the flourish on the package and some Lime Green that I had to bling up the dots on the ribbon. For the right hand panel I used the word Sweet cut at 1 1/2” from the Yummy cartridge and then used my Nursery Rhyme Cartridge to cut the 16 at 1 1/2”. I flooded the shadow of numbers with a dark turquoise blue and the main layer with a pink from the Yummy cartridge. I used some Yellow stickles to bling up the S in sweet and the new Tropical Turquoise for the weet. I used the Glam Pink for the 16.The image on the back of the Sweet 16 panel is of a Party hat also from the Yummy Cartridge. I again used the Scallop stock image that I flooded with one of the pattern’s from the cartridge and cut it at 3 1/2”. I cut the party hat at 3”. I also used some Glam Pink stickles to bling up the pompom balls and the top of the party hat. I really hope she likes the card.

Celebrate Sunshine
I started a with a 4 1/4” X 5 1/2” portrait card base from Kraft card stock. I used my Imagine More Card cartridge and printed a 5” blue mat and the patterned mat using the square stock image in the Imagine. I cut the blue mat down to 4” X 5 1/4” and the patterned paper mat to 3 3/4” X 5”. I cut the sun from the Imagine More cartridge at 2” using the layer feature. Using the Straight From the Nest cricut cartridge I cut the grass image from page 41 of the handbook. I flooded the the layers with two different green patterned papers from the Imagine More cartridge. I used the border feature shift image to cut the flowers also at 2” and flooded them with a light purple color from the Imagine More Cards cartridge. I pop dotted the grass and the flowers. I also pop dotted the sun image between the layers as well as to the card. I added some yellow pearls to the middle of the flowers and stamped my sentiment Celebrate Sunshine.

Your My Cup of Tea Card
The Challenge this week over at Cricut Cardz Challenge blog is to make a project using a cricut cut of a cup. Here is what I came up with.
I started with a Kraft card stock folded to 5” x 7” for my card base. I inked the edges used the Tim Holtz Tea Dye and Wild Honey distress inks. I used the cup from the Joys of the Season cricut cartridge found on page 51 of the handbook, flooded it with a flower pattern from the Imagine More cartridge. The cup and the shadow were cut at 2.3”. The shadow was cut flooded with a dark brown also from the Imagine More cartridge. My tag is is also from the Imagine More cartridge found on page 17 of the handbook. The tag was cut at 6” using the layers feature. I flooded the top layer of the tag with a gold dotted pattern from the cartridge and cut this layer only at 6.2”. My sentiment is from Kate’s Kitchen and I cut it using the layers feature. My cup and sentiment are attached using foam tape. I used my ATG gun to adhere the other layers. I added some faux stitching to each layer and the card base. I also inked the edges of all of my cuts with the Tea Dye distress ink. I believe the ribbon is from Stampin’ Up. Thanks for visiting.

Wishing for Spring Card
My base is folded to make a 5 1/2” square card out of white card stock. Using my Imagine and the stock images, I flooded a 4.8” square with green selected from the colors pallet on Kate’s Kitchen. I then flooded a second square sized at 4.6” with a red gingham type pattern from the Kate’s Kitchen pattern pallet. I used the layers feature on the Imagine to cut my image of the window. All layers were cut at 4”. I layered the red mat on top of the green mat and adhered them to my card base. I attached the first layer of the window scene to my red mat using my ATG Gun. I then used foam tape to attach the curtains which I wrapped some rusty red ribbon around to make them pop a little more. I also attached the flower in its pot with foam tape. I added a dark turquoise pearl to the middle of my flower and some faux stitching to the green mat and a few doodle dots to the curtains and pot. I also added some faux stitching to the ribbon on the curtains. My time is pretty limited this weekend for crafting so had to keep the card fairly simple but I am pleased with how it turned out. I didn’t add a sentiment as I am not sure what I will use the card for, could be a birthday card, thinking of you, or a hello card. Thanks for visiting.

Thank You Card
I created this thank you card for a co-worker who dropped off a veggie tray and some desserts for us to take to my Mother-in-Law’s Memorial gathering yesterday. The gathering turned out well and there were a lot more people who showed up then we anticipated.
For my card I started with a 4 1/4” X 5 1/2” cream colored card stock base. The images are all from the Nursery Tales Cricut Imagine cartridge. I used one of the new stock images the 2:3 image and sized it to 4” and flooded it with the solid brown from the color pallet. I also used the scalloped rectangle from the stock Imagine images and sized it to 3.8” and flooded it with a pink pattern from the pattern pallet. I had to cut off about 1” from the brown mat. The mushroom image was cut on the Imagine using the layers feature and was cut at 3”. I applied the base layer flat to the card and used some foam tape to add the mushroom cap. I used a double layer of foam tape to add the butterfly at the top of the mushroom. I added the wing layer by applying glue to just the section next to the body so it would pop up a little. The little blue dragonfly was also added to directly to the card. The little pieces of grass were cut using the Create-a-Critter Cricut cartridge and were cut at .8 and .6 inches and were flooded with green from the cartridge color pallet. I inked the edges of the brown and pink patterned pieces lightly with some brown chalk ink. I used my Sakura clear gel glitter pen to add some glitter to the center of the flowers on the mushroom and the butterfly. I stamped a sentiment with the same brown ink I used to ink the edges. For the finishing touch I added some light pink gems to the upper left and lower right hand corners. Thanks for visiting.
