SOUS Die Cut Challenge - If It Has Wings

Welcome to my blog! Here is my project for the Stuck On U Sketches Die Cut Challenge - If It Has Wings. I am so sad that this is my last project with them. Nanne and Leah have decided to move on to new things and end the blog site, but it will remain open for you all to gather inspiration when ever needed. 
     Today I have this cute tag for you that I created. It is using the Cricut cartridge Best of 2006. It is an old one but still a goody to me. I used my Cricut Explore to cut it out then I decided to emboss the dragonfly's wings to give it some cool texture. I wanted this tag to have the feeling of texture on it and the look of the dragonfly flying off the page. Next, I put stickles to give it some sparkle onto the wings, body, and tail. I just used corresponding colors. Then I wanted it to look like it was in the flowers so I used some flowers I got from the Dollar Tree and used some old yellow flower eyelets to hold them on with. I pop dotted the dragonfly to the tag and here you go. Here is a list of supplies:

• Cricut cart: Best of 2006
• Paper: Own Stock
• Cardstock: Bazzill
• Flowers: Dollar Tree
• Eyelets: Doodlebug
• Stickles: Yellow, Purple, Lime Green
• Ribbon: Ofray
• Staple: Fastenator
• Adhesive: Scotch, Zig

     Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my last blog post for SOUS. I wish the best of luck to both Nanne and Leah. Have a great weekend! :)

Dragonfly tag

     I have to say that this tag looks so much better in person. I'm proud that I was able to get 3 projects posted these past couple of days. My pain and depression play such a big part in this. 
     I posted this tag on My Craft Spot. Their challenge this week is an anything goes challenge. I got this dragonfly from Cricut cartridge Best of 2006. On the cart though Cricut calls it a butterfly. I cut it out at 3-1/2". Here are the details:

• Cricut cart: Best of 2006
• Cardstock: Bazzill
• Paper: Unknown
• Cuttlebug: Divine Swirl
• Flowers: Dollar Tree
• Ribbon: Really Reasonable Ribbon
• Stickles: Yellow, Lavender, Firefly
• Metal staple: Fastenator
• Eyelets: Making Memories
• Twine: Doodlebug

I also included my tag in the following challenges:

• Charisma Cardz Challenges
• Milk Coffee Challenges

Thanks so much for looking at my project. Have a great day!

Butterfly card

I got the idea for the butterfly from My Pink Stamper. I watched her make one and feel in love with it so I had to make one of my own. I used very simular colors because I love the way they pop off the card. I also used the card sketch idea for week 04-18-12 from Let's Scrap. I cut the butterfly at 4" and instead of putting foam dots on it like I normally would I just folded the wings back to make them "pop". Here are the details:

• Cricut cart: Best of 2006
• Paper: Bazzill
• Cuttlebug: Paisley
• Stamp: My Pink Stamp "From The Heart"
• Ink: Verafine-Onyx Black
• Ribbon: Making Memories
• Adhesive: ATG and 2 Way Zig glue pen
