Wedding Card

A friend at work asked me if I could make her a card to take to a wedding she is going to in a couple of weeks. This is what I came up with.

I cut my card base using the Sophie cartridge at 5 1/2".  I used my Gypsy to hide the cut out that was on the front of the card. I then cut the layer at 5 1/4" so it was just a little smaller than my card base. My card base once folded measures 5 1/2" X 4 1/2" so it will fit in some invitation envelopes I picked up at Walmart awhile back. I embossed this layer with the three dots folder I have from Sizzix. I added this layer to the card front with some foam tape. I spritzed this layer and my white bride and groom with some Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Mist which gave it a light gold shimmer.

I cut my bride and groom from white cardstock at 3 1/2" and the shadow out of black and adhered them together. I adhered the bride and groom to the card front with some foam tape as well. I then used some White Liquid Pearls to add pearls to the back of the dress, the brides hair and to the scallops on the card. Finally I stamped my sentiment with a CardzTV stamp and adhered that to the card front with some foam tape as well and then added a sheer white ribbon tied in bow to the fold of the card.

I am entering this card in the challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut where the challenge is to make a Wedding or Anniversary card. And I am entering it in the CardzTV Design Team challenge which is anything goes.

Cricut Cardz Challenge #107

I am excited to announce that Mary at Cardz TV has invited me to join the Cricut Cardz Challenge Design Team. WhooHoo!!  Every other Wednesday a new challenge is posted. Today's challenge is to make a Mother's Day card using any cartridges and colors you like. Here is what I came up with.

For my card base I used some dark teal Core'denations card stock and the Birthday Bash cartridge. I cut my base at 5". The circle layer of the card was cut using some Basic Grey card stock. This paper is from an 6 X 6 paper pack that I have had for a couple of years I don't know they name of it, the cover is gone. For my flower I used the Sophie cartridge. I cut the flower at 3 3/4". I used some paper from my scrap bin so I apologize but again I don't know the name of the paper. I added some yellow stickles to the yellow layer of the flower to give it some sparkle and added the flower to my card with some foam tape. I stamps Happy Mother's Day with some VersaMagic Chalk Ink in Turquoise Gem. Thanks for visiting. I hope you will join us in this Mother's Day challenge over at CardzTV.

Shape it Up !

The challenge this month over at Scrappy Frogs Challenge Blog is to make a Shaped Card. Here is what I came  up with.

My shaped card was cut at 4 1/4" using the Sophie Cricut Cartridge. I used the Bubblegum Stripes Cricut Imagine cartridge to color my flower.  I used white card stock for the card base, and added the layers for the flower. I also added a large glittered button to the flower's center and stamped Hello with some dark blue ink. I hope you will join us at Scrappy Frogs for the challenge this month.

Scrappy Frogs Challenge

The challenge this month over at the Scrappy Frogs Challenge Blog is to make a project using lace. Here is what I came up with.

 My card is a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" white card base. I used a piece of pink patterned paper from the Victoria's Garden Echo Park paper pack. I inked the edges with some spun sugar distress ink. I used the Sophie cartridge for the two birds. I cut the bird image at 3". For the crowns on the birds I used some Glimmer Glaze. I added a piece of sheer lace with small roses on it under the birds along with some pearls. I also added a couple of pearls to the top of the roost the birds are on. Thanks for visiting and I hope you will join us in the Challenge at Scrappy Frogs

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.
