Cricut Cardz Challenge #64

 

The challenge this week over at Cricut Cardz Challenge is to make a bookmark.  I didn’t have a lot of time but wanted to play along so here is what I came up with.

Unfortunately I didn’t write down all my sizes but I cut the tag for my book mark using Plantin Schoolbook and the tag found under the Italic option. I resized the tag on my Gypsy so it was 2 1/2” wide and 6” tall. I cut the tag twice once out of cream cardstock and then again out of the patterned paper as I wanted the bookmark sturdier than the pattern paper alone would have made it. The rest of the cuts are from Graphically Speaking and these are the ones I am not sure of the sizes, I believe about  1 1/2” to 2”. I inked all the edges with some Tea Dye distress ink. Attached everything to the bookmark and added some olive green ribbon at the top.

Butterfly Kisses

Here is a quick card I made yesterday using the Straight From the Nest cartridge and Graphically Speaking. The card is 4 1/2" X 6" I cut the phrase out using the Straight From the Nest cartridge at 1 1/2" .I cut the base, layer and shadow features. The butterflies in the little squares were cut at 1 1/4" from Graphically Speaking. I added some stickles to the butterflies to make them sparkle. The patterned paper is from the DCWV Stack 6 paper stack, the pink and blue are Core'denations paper.

Get Well Soon

Here is a quick get well soon card I made this afternoon. The card is made from white card stock and is 4 1/2" X 6. The orange mat is 4 1/4" X 5 3/4" and the dark pink mat is 4" X 5 1/2" made from some Bazzill card stock I had on hand. The print mat is from the DCWV Stack 6 and is 3 3/4" X 5 1/4".  I then used a Fiskars embossing and edge punch to punch the bottom of each mat. The ribbon is some I got from Craft Warehouse. The butterflies were from the Graphically Speaking Cricut Cartridge and cut at 1 3/4" from both the orange and pink Bazzill card stock and adhered with foam tape. I wanted to bling it up a little so went over the butterflies with some Crystal Stickles. I am not too happy with the way they photographed, it looks as if the stickles are still a little wet in spots so they appear a little clumpy. They don't look that way on the actual card. If I get a chance to take another picture I will after they have dried overnight. The Get Well Soon stamp is from Hero Arts and I used a Pearlescent Coral Brillance Ink Pad.
