SOUS Die Cut Challenge - Anything New Year

      Hi everyone and welcome to my blog! Today I have a Stuck On U Sketches Die Cut Challenge for you. The theme is Anything New Year. I created this cute little card for you with this adorable penguin on it all dress out and ready for a night out on the town. I used Create a Critter 2 for my die cut and I cut him out at 3.90" on my Cricut Explore.

It is great for cutting little tiny things like his bow tie and cane. I used Stickles on his hat band, bow tie, and cane to give him a little sparkle on such a big night.

Here are the details:

• Cricut cart: Create a Critter 2
• Paper: DCWV The Year Round Stack
• Cardstock: Bazzill
• Ribbon: Really Reasonable Ribbon
• Stamp: My Pink Stamper "Happiest Moments"
• Ink: Versafine - Onyx Black
• Stickles: Starry Night
• Adhesive: Scotch, Zig

Thank you so much for coming to my blog and taking a look at my SOUS Die Cut Challenge - Anything New Year card. I hope to see you over at the website with your project for such a fun challenge. Have a great weekend! :)

SOUS Die Cut Challenge - Anything Christmas

     Welcome to my blog! Today I have a card I made for the Stuck On U Sketches Die Cut Challenge - Anything Christmas. I really love this really cute reindeer and thought he would look perfect on top of a Christmas card. I made it look like he is flying over the roof tops on Christmas Eve. I cut the little reindeer out from Cricut cartridge Create A Critter 2. I cut him out at 4". I put some Xmas Red Stickles

on his nose too. I then place him on the card. I know it is kind of hard to see the embossing underneath the reindeer. It is supposed to say Merry Christmas. I embossed with gold powder. I think next time I will do the embossing more then once! :) Here are the details:

• Cricut cart: Create A Critter 2
• Paper: American Crafts
• Cardstock: Bazzill
• Stamp: My Pink Stamper "Christmas Biggie"
• Stickles: Xmas Red
• Embossing powder: Gold
• Ink: Versamark clear
• Adhesive: Scotch, Zig

SOUS Die Cut Challenge - Fall Colors

Hello and welcome to my blog! Here is my project for the Stuck On U Sketches Die Cut Challenge - Fall Colors. I so loved working on this challenge. I love this time of year and all the colors that come with it so I had a blast making my card for you. I knew I wanted a cute little animal so I chose Cricut cartridge "Create A Critter 2." I cut the Thanksgiving squirrel out at 3-1/2". I used Gold Stickles on the buckle of the hat. All the leaves are punched out from a Darice punch. They are about a 1/2" tall. I scattered them on the card. I placed ribbon around the card and pop dotted the squirrel on. I then stamped my sentiment. Here are the details:

• Cricut cart: Create A Critter 2
• Cardstock: Bazzill
• Ribbon: Really Reasonable Ribbon
• Stickles: Gold
• Punch: Darice Leaf Punch
• Stamp: My Craft Spot "Happy Thanksgiving"
• Ink: Versafine "Black Onyx"

Thanks so much for coming to and looking at my blog. It means a lot to me. And thanks for joining us over at Stuck On U Sketches. I hope you all participate in the challenge too for your chance to be in our Top 3! Have a great weekend everyone! :)

Easter Chick Card

If you are looking for my Project Life layout please scroll down. Here is an Easter card that I created. I got the idea from the challenge on the site Fantabulous Cricut where the challenge is Bye Bye Birdie, any project with a bird on it. The picture came out a little wonky as the red stripes are supposed to be a bright pink. The chick is from Create a Critter 2 and was cut at 4". The card itself is an A2 size card, 4-1/4"x 5-1/2". Here is the rest of the details:

• Cricut cart: Create a Critter 2
• Cardstock: Bazzill
• Paper: Unknown
• Ribbon: Really Reasonable Ribbon
• Stamp: My Pink Stamper "Happiest Moments"
• Ink: Versafine in Onyx Black
• Adhesive: Scotch, Zig

This is a pretty easy card to make but yet a really cute one too. Thanks for looking and have a great day! :)

SOUS Project Life Challenge - Heart Cut Out, Use Negative Space

     Here is my latest Project Life layout. It was for SOUS Challenge: Heart Cut Out, Use Negative Space. I did that with a little inspiration from my favorite Youtuber Mercytiara. She had done a similar cutout with a word card so I was wanting to try it too and here was my chance.

     I first used my Cricut to cut out a heart template using cartridge Plantin Schoolbook. I cut the heart at 2-1/4". I then placed it on a Becky Higgins 3"x 4" grid card and traced around the heart. I then cut the heart out using my Exacto blade. I backed the card with a piece of cardstock in the color pink because after all next week is Valentine's Day. I then used some Glossy Accents and filled the heart in in sections while sprinkling sequins on top. I did this in about 4 sections. Then I placed it up, as I have cats who love to still my stuff, until it was dry. Next time I try this I will place something over it to keep it flat while it drys as it wrinkled a little.

     Well, I really hope you enjoyed my Project Life this week. I really had a fun time creating this heart cut out. Until our next challenge have a great week and keep on up with your Project Life. :)

Monkey Birthday Card

     Hello again! I decided to do the challenge over at Exploring Cricut which this week is you need 1 pattern paper, 2 Cricut cuts, and the color blue. I couldn't wait to do this so I decided to make a card.

     I made this card to celebrate my youngest son's 21st birthday. I tried to not make it too kiddish but I think I failed.:) He loves monkeys which was the inspiration for the card. The monkey is from the Cricut cartridge Create a Critter 2. I cut him at 5". In the original cut he is holding a heart for Valentine's Day but I didn't want that. Instead I found a present from Cricut cartridge Sweet Treats. It is cut at 1-1/2", then I just glued it to the monkey's hands and chin. I then cut out the vines also on Create a Critter 2. I glued the pattern paper down to my card base which is 4-1/4"x 5-1/2". I glued the vines down leaving a space for the tail to go into so it looks like the monkey is swinging from the vine. Here are the rest of the details:

• Cricut cart: Create a Critter 2, Sweet Treats
• Cardstock: Bazzill
• Pattern paper: K & Company
• Adhesive: Scotch, Zig, EK Success

     Thanks so much for coming to my blog and looking at my projects. If you have any questions please leave a comment and I will get back to you. I hope you all have a great weekend. Bye! :)

Here today I have a card I created for the My Craft Spot blog challenge - Polka Dots. I searched through my pattern paper which wasn't easy, and found this really cute polka dot and decided to make a Valentine's Day card. I pull out my Cricut cartridge Create a Critter 2 and found the bear and knew it would be perfect. I cut it at 4". The card itself is cut at 4-1/4"x 5-1/2". Here are the rest of the details:

• Cricut cart: Create a Critter 2
• Cardstock: Bazzill
• Paper: Pebbles, Carolees Creations
• Ribbon: Really Reasonable Ribbon
• Stamp: My Pink Stamper - Love
• Ink: Versafine - Onyx Black
