Let’s Craft and Create Challenge #183 AG Option Tag Your It!

It’s time for a new challenge over at Let’s Craft and Create. Challenge 183 starts today. The challenge is anything goes with the option to add a tag. This is my project for the challenge.

For my project I started with some heavy weight white card stock, cut, scored and folded to make a 4 1/4” X 5 1/2”  card base. I added a bright pink mat to my pattern paper and adhered that to my card base. 

I found the tag in Cricut Design Space and resized it to fit my card. I filled the tag with a pattern using the Pattern Fill feature in Design Space. I then found my Happy Birthday sentiment in Design Space. Resized to fit the area on my tag, changed the text color and flattened it to the tag. That way the tag background and sentiment would print and my Cricut Maker would cut my tag.

To decorate my tag I decided to make a Spring scene. I the fence and sized it to fit my tag. I then found an image with some grass and the little purple flowers but decided I didn’t like the way the grass looked in front of my fence. So I added a circle and a rectangle and sliced part of the circle away to leave me a hill. I changed the color to green to match the grassy piece. I put the hill in front of the grass and welded it so my flowers and hill were just one piece. Next I found the little pink and yellow flowers and duplicated them. I resized everything to fit my tag and laid out my design. When I was satisfied with how everything looked I hit Make It on my Cricut Maker and let it do it’s thing.

When everything was cut out I assembled my scene on the front of my tag. I used liquid adhesive to attach everything to my tag and added my tag to my card front with more liquid adhesive. To finish the card I added some glossy accents to the centers of the flowers and some sequin to the tag. I also added some bakers twine to the top of the tag.

Now it’s your turn. I hope you will head over to Let’s Craft and Create and play along with us. It was so nice of you to stop by today. Feel free to leave me a comment and if you don’t already please follow my blog so you don’t miss any posts.
 

It's Your Day

 

Today I have another birthday card. Most of it was made using my Cricut Maker. This card is for my oldest grandson who is turning seven next week.

 For the card base I used some light orange card stock from my stash. The card base is from the Alexis Mattox - Classically Modern Cards image set and is the Congratulations balloon card. The card has balloons cut out of the top layer and then a slightly smaller layer behind it to give the balloons color. I used the contour feature to remove the balloons from the top layer. I then resized the card to 8.5 wide and kept the lock closed so it resized proportionately. I then took the second layer and made it a bit smaller as I wanted a bigger border on the front of my card.

Next I went to the Star Wars™ - The Child Season 2 image set and found my Baby Yoda I liked. This image set is included in a Cricut Digital Mystery Box that was released today, April 22, 2021.  My balloons come from the Disney® - UP image set. It was also in a digital mystery box that was released several months ago so I am not sure if it is available in Cricut Access. The original image has the balloons attached to a house which I didn't want. I was able to ungroup everything and delete  all the layers of the house. There are also some black balloon strings and I sliced those off. I then arranged Yoda in front and to the side of the balloons and then flattened the images together.

I then did the print and cut for my Yoda image. Next I had my Cricut cut out my card base and then the patterned paper layer. I folded the card base and then added the pattern paper. The pattern paper is from an Echo Park It's Your Birthday Boy 6" X 6" paper pad. Next I popped up my image. My sentiment is from the Whimsy Stamp Simple Sentiments stamp set. I embossed the sentiment on a scrap of the orange card stock.  I stamped the sentiment using Versamark Embossing ink then used some California Sunshine Wow embossing powder.  I love how it looks more orange after it melted.

To finish the card I added some Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the balloons and sprinkled them with a little glitter. The crystal glaze was still wet when I took my picture so I have a bit of a glare. Then I added the blue stars which were from Sizzix. This card will fit in a standard A2 size envelope.

Thanks for visiting today. I hope you enjoyed your time here.

I have entered this project to the April Anything Goes Challenge over at Love to Craft Challenge blog.

Happy Birthday card

 

 

 

This is a birthday card I made for my daughter-in-law whose birthday was last week. The card is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card stock. Patterned paper is from Echo Park. Colored card stock is from my stash. I added some Nuvo glitter drops in white blizzard to the candle flames. I got the design from the Silhouette store. I purchased the svg file and used my Cricut maker.

Thanks for visiting. I hope you all have a great day.

It's a 3D Birthday!

It is time once again for a new 3D challenge over at CardzTV! The new challenge is to make a 3D birthday project. This is what I came up with.

My 3D box is from the Silhouette store. It includes the bow. I added some white dots to the bottom rick rack with a white gel pen. My sentiment uses 2 CardzTV stamp sets, Ticket Talk 2 and Good Times.

 

 While visiting CardzTV be sure to hop over to Mary's CardzTV Stamp site and get your order in for her two new stamp sets.

Now it's your turn. Get your 3D project ready and join us for this challenge!!!
