Your My Cup of Tea Card

The Challenge this week over at Cricut Cardz Challenge blog is to make a project using a cricut cut of a cup. Here is what I came up with.

I started with a Kraft card stock folded to 5” x 7” for my card base. I inked the edges used the Tim Holtz Tea Dye and Wild Honey distress inks.  I used the cup from the Joys of the Season cricut cartridge found on page 51 of the handbook, flooded it with a flower pattern from the Imagine More cartridge. The cup and the shadow were cut at 2.3”. The shadow was cut flooded with a dark brown also from the Imagine More cartridge.  My tag is is also from the Imagine More cartridge found on page 17 of the handbook. The tag was cut at 6” using the layers feature. I flooded the top layer of the tag with a gold dotted pattern from the cartridge and cut this layer only at 6.2”.  My sentiment is from Kate’s Kitchen and I cut it using the layers feature. My cup and sentiment are attached using foam tape. I used my ATG gun to adhere the other layers. I added some faux stitching to each layer and the card base. I also inked the edges of all of my cuts with the  Tea Dye distress ink. I believe the ribbon is from Stampin’ Up.  Thanks for visiting.

Believe - Christmas Cards

I finally had a chance to work on a few more Christmas Cards to get out to relatives that live locally. I used some 5 X 7" pre folded white cards that I bought at a craft store. I cut a green card stock mat 1/4" smaller than the card and then a mat out of the patterned paper which is from My Minds Eye a 1/4" smaller than the green card stock. The trees were cut at 4" from the Winter Woodland Cricut Cartridge. I added some Glossy Accents and Coarse Martha Stewart Glitter to the white layer on the trees to give the snow some sparkle. For the Snowman, he was cut at 5" from the Joys of the Season Cricut Cartridge. I used the same sentiment, ink and embossing powder on this card as I did the other card. The ribbon is some from my stash I bought last year. The stars were cut using American Craft glitter card stock. This card stock is beautiful and very heavy. To cut the stars I had my blade at 6 pressure at max and did  multi cut 3. Thanks for visiting.
