Simply Craft Kite Challenge

The March challenge at Simply Crafts is to make a project using the kite from Create-A-Critter Cricut Cartridge. This is what I came up with.

My card is a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" kraft card base. I used the Enjoy the Seasons Imagine cartridge and cut the blue cloud behind the cloud at 4 1/2". I then flood filled the kite base with a dark pink color from the Enjoy the Seasons color pallet and flood filled the second layer of the kite with a yellow and white dotted pattern from the cartridge. I cut the kite and the 1st layer only at 4 1/2". Since I didn't want the face layer I chose to not cut it. I stamped my kite with a Peachy Keen stamp from the Everyday Character Assortment. I added some rosy cheeks with some pink chalk.  I used a white gel pen to add the whites of his eyes and some doodling to the cloud. I used a black gel pen to add some faux stitching to the card base and to the kite. I cut the little kite bows off that cut out with the base layer and tied some twine bows and adhered those instead.

To finish the card, I added some yellow buttons and adhered my little kite to my card base with an action wobble so he could fly! Finally because he made me smile I added my sentiment. I just love how this turned out. Here is a short video that shows my card and also shows him "flying" on the action wobble.

Hello Card

Here is a card I made using my Imagine, the Enjoy the Season's cartridge and the Sophie and Elegant Edges, Cricut cartridges.

I started with white card stock cut and folded to make a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card base. I added a green mat cut to 4" X 5 1/4" and a patterned paper mat cut to 3 3/4" X 5". Both the green mat and the patterned paper mat are from the DCWV Linen Stack.  I cut the rose from the Sophie cartridge. I flooded the base layer with a red color from the Enjoy the Season's cartridge and the top layer with a light green. I cut the flower at 3 1/2". I used some Stardust stickles on the green layer and allowed it to dry before adhering them together. The mat for my sentiment was cut from the Elegant Edges cartridge at 1 1/2". I lightly inked the edges with some  Iced Spruce distress ink. The rose was added to the card front with some foam tape.

Christmas Wishes

I made a couple of quick Christmas cards using my Imagine and the Enjoy the Seasons and Snow Angel Imagine Cartridges.

This first card is a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card. I started with a cream colored card stock base. I added a dark green polka dotted patterned paper mat and then the Kraft card stock with the snowflakes. I sprayed the cream colored card stock with some Old Lace Glimmer Mist. I sprayed the Kraft snowflake patterned paper with some pearl Glimmer Mist, and in person this card sparkles. My image is from the Enjoy the Seasons Imagine cartridge cut at 4" using the layers feature on the Imagine.  I used foam tape between the layers for dimension and added added some red pearls to the branch. I also added a dark green stitched ribbon and tucked the branch bottom under the ribbon. Finally I stamped the image with some black ink and the sentiment is from the Cardz TV stamp set Home for Christmas.

My second card uses a Kraft card stock base also  4/14' X 5 1/2". I used the same green and Kraft patterned paper for my card.Then I cut one of the cut little snowman from the Snow Angel Imagine cartridge. I used a Sakura glue pen and some extra fine glitter on some of the snowflakes on the Kraft card stock. I used foam tape between the layers of the Imagine cut and used the Sakura glue pen and glitter along the snow under the little snowman. I added my sentiment and another Christmas card done.

Thanks for visiting.

Let the Fun Begin!

The challenge over at Paper Playtime is to make a project that shows how you would cool off with water. This is what I came up with. I recently got the Enjoy the Season's Imagine Cricut Cartridge and while trying to decide what to make for this project saw this image in the handbook. It was perfect.

My card base is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" white card stock. My patterned paper is by Echo Park. I cut the cloud paper 3" X 5 1/2" and the green paper 1 1/2" X 5 1/2".  I used the layered feature on my Imagine and cut the girl in the pull image at 3". I also cut the sun image from the same cartridge at 1 1/4". I added some yellow stickles to the sun rays and some Glossy Accents to the lenses of the sun's sunglasses. Thanks for visiting and I hope you will join us in the challenge at Paper Playtime.
