Lucky Leprechaun

I got this adorable image from Miss Kate's Cuttables.  After I purchased the image I brought it into Design Space as a PNG Print and Cut image and cut the image with my Explore.  I printed the image at 3.8" high.

I started with green card stock cut and scored to make a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card base.  I cut a black mat at 4" X 5 1/4" and the patterned paper mat was cut at 3 7/8" X 5 1/8".  I adhered my image to my card base with some pop dots.  My sentiment is stamped with Cottage Ivy Memento ink and the banner was cut using a Poppystamps die..  Finally I added some enameled dots to the card front.

I am going to enter this card into the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge blog.

Beware

I found this image in the Autumn Celebrations cartridge.  The image was not a card but I decided to make it into a card.   I opened the image in Cricut Design Space and first set the width to 4.23 inches and let the height set itself.  I then ungrouped all the layers and duplicated the shadow layer twice.  I mirrored these two layers vertically and lined up the tops overlapping them slightly and welded them.  I also added a score line in the middle of the card.  This created my card base. I am including a short video tutorial on how I made the card.

Next I took the main image and made it a print and cut image. I printed this and then cut it, then cut the card base.  I adhered the Beware image to my card base with some foam dots to add some dimension to the card.  To finish the card I added a small spider lapel pin to Mr Frankenstein and then traced over it with my Black Spica Atyou pen.  I also stamped some small spider webs in each corner and traced over some of the lines again with my Black Spica Atyou pen.

I plan to enter this card in the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge.  Thanks for stopping by.









     

Rockin' Robin!

It turned out to be a nice sunny day today after two days of wind and rain.  So I was inspired to make a fun and bright card.

I found my image of this bird on the Home Decor cartridge.  I opened it with Cricut Design Space and resized my bird to 4".  There were two layers turned off when I first put the image on my mat. So I turned those an.  So instead of just the yellow layer, I was able to cut a shadow layer out of  black and and colored layer out of the blue.. I cut the image on my Cricut Explore.

My card base is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" yellow card stock.  I added a blue mat cut at 4" X 5 1/4" and the patterned paper mat cut at 3  3/4" X  5".

I adhered my bird to my card front with some foam tape.  I used a Poppystamps Die called Classic Ribbon die to cut my ribbon that I stamped my sentiment.  Finally I added some rhinestones to the bird's tail and the eye..

I am entering this into the Fantabulous Cricuct Challenge..
