Hang in There!

The new challenge at Scrappy Frogs is Seeing Spots. Make a project with spots. This is what I came up with.

My card is a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card base. I cut my patterned paper at 4" X 5 1/4". My patterned paper is from Echo Park Dots and Stripes paper pad. I cut my image from the Meow Cricut Lite cartridge at 3 1/2" and I colored all my layers on the image with the colors and patterns from the Bubblegum Stripes Imagine cartridge. I inked around all the edges with some Memento Rich Cocoa. I created my sentiment on my computer and printed it out on some card stock. I hope you will join us in the challenge. Thanks for visiting.

You're Special Card

I just recently got the Meow Cricut Lite Cartridge. It has some adorable images. I decided to start with the very first image on the cartridge this cat in a boot. I cut the cat and all its layers at 3 1/2". I rant the boot through the Cuttlebug and embossed it with the Tiny Mosaics folder. I started with a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" white card stock base. I added a blue mat from the same card stock as the boot cut at 4" X 5 1/4". I used the Bubblegum Stripes cartridge and printed out a rectangle with the striped pattern and cut it down to 3 3/4" X 5". I then cut two smaller rectangles that I flooded with a solid orange and another flooded with the black multi colored circle patterned. I cut the orange rectangle down to 3 3/4" X 1 3/4" and the black patterned paper cut down to 3 3/4" X 1 1/2". I used a Martha Stewart  punch to punch a bubble like border and adhered these to the card. I added some lime green ribbon to the top of these two pieces and added my cat image with some foam dots. Finally I stamped my sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and added two blue buttons that I tied a piece orange floss in a knot. Thanks for visiting.

Masculine Birthday Card

My father-in-law's birthday is in a week and I have to get the card in the mail in the next couple of days. So I whipped up a card for him this afternoon. I started with a pre-scored white 5" x 7" card base. I added a black mat cut to 6 3/4" X 4 3/4".  I then used my Imagine and the Bubblegum Striped pattern cartridge and the stock 5:7 rectangle to print out my patterned paper, and cut it to 6 1/2" X 4 1/2". I then used the Celebrate with Flourish Cricut Lite cartridge to cut the Happy Birthday at 3.1" For my shadow I chose to use white for the shadow. I used colors and patterns from the Bubblegum Striped Imagine cartridge for the other layers. I adhered it to the card with some foam tape and added some white buttons with glue dots to finish off the card. Hope he likes it. Thanks for visiting.
