Just me thinking of you card

The Cardz TV Design Team Challenge at Cardz TV is to make a project that uses Ribbons, Rhinestones, and/or Rick Rack. Here is what I came up with.
I started with a white card base cut and folded to 4 1/4" X 5 1/2". I added a dark wine colored mat and then the patterned paper mat both of which are from an older Basic Grey 6" X 6" paper pad. I used the Lacey Labels cricut cartridge and cut the mat for my little bird at 3 1/2". My bird is the first bird in the handbook for the 3 Birds on Parade Cricut cartridge. I cut the little bird and it's layers at 3 1/4" I added some pink cheeks and a few doodle dots to the wings of the bird. I added a dark wine color ribbon and some mosaic tiles to the mat. Thanks for visiting.

Warm Fuzzies Card

Here is another card I made using the Birthday Bash cartridge. I have a white card stock base cut and folded to 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" I then added a bright green mat cut to 4" X 5 1/4" and then the patterned paper from a Basic Grey paper pad cut to 3 3/4" X 5". I cut the snail and his layers at 3 1/4". I added some white and black doodle dots to the snail and the envelope. I also finished it with some purple and glam pink stickles. This one is also going to a Crafty Pen Pal. Thanks for visiting.

Cherry Wishes!

I recently received the Preserves cartridge and a 6 X 6 pack of Basic Grey paper called Lemonade that I ordered. I loved the Cherry paper in the pack and knew just wanted I wanted to do with it. Well today I finally had time to put my idea together, and I am pleased how it turned out. The card is 4 1/2 X 6". The card base is Core de'nations gemstone card stock. The patterned paper is from Basic Grey and the pink paper as well as the paper for the cherries are all from scraps in my stash. I cut the cherries and the layers at 3".  I used my Gypsy to weld the Cherry Wishes together using the font from A Child's Year and it is cut at 2". I used my EK Success dotted scallop border punch to punch the edge of the patterned paper. I embossed the pink paper with the three dots embossing folder from Sizzix using my Cuttlebug. The green ribbon is some I picked up at Michaels. I added some bling to the words and the dark cherry with my pink stickles and used the fruit punch stickles for the lighter cherry. I am pleased how it turned out and it was a nice cheery card to make on this cold, wet, rainy, windy day.
