SOUS Die Cut Challenge - In The Garden

Hi and thanks for coming to my blog today. Here is my project for the Stuck On U Sketches Die Cut Challenge. For this week our challenge is In The Garden. With Spring now officially here I wanted something that showed Spring. So I did this really cute caterpillar crawling it's way on a flower. I used the Cricut cartridge Live Simply for the die

cut. I cut it out at 2-3/4" and pop dotted it to make it stand out. I embossed the back layer with a Cuttlebug folder Juli's Garden. I wanted something in the bottom right corner so I cut this doily from a die from My Craft Spot which is sadly out of business now. I layered a button on top

and put a piece of twine through it. I finally placed a piece of yellow ribbon around the layer and place everything on top. The inside of the card says Happy Spring stamped on it. Here are the details:

• Cricut cart: Live Simply
• Paper: Own stock
• Cardstock: Bazzill
• Cuttlebug: Juli's Garden
• Button: Own stock
• Ribbon: Ofray
• Doily: My Craft Spot
• Stamp: My Pink Stamp Happiest Moments
• Ink: Versafine in Onyx Black
• Adhesive: Scotch, Zig

Thanks again so much for coming to my blog and looking at my project. Don't forget to visit SOUS and join our Die Cut challenge this week of In The Garden. Post your link here. Well, have a great weekend and a great Spring. :)

Thank You card

Hello again. Here is a really cute card I made for another card challenge over at My Craft Spot. The challenge this week was to make something with the phrase Thank you on it. I pulled out my Cricut cartridge Live Simply for the cute little worm on the branch. I cut it out at 4". I then used my metal dies for the dollies. The yellow enamel dot is one I made myself. I watched a You Tube video on how to melt down Pony Beads to make enamel dots. It was really cool. Here are the details:

• Cricut cart: Live Simply
• Paper: SEI
• Cardstock: Bazzill
• Stickles: Lime Green
• Twine: Doodlebug
• Metal Dies: My Craft Spot
• Stamp: My Craft Spot "Tiny Tags 2"
• Ink: Versafine in Onyx Black
• Ribbon: Really Reasonable Ribbon
• Adhesive: Scotch, Zig

Thanks so much for looking at my blog. Have a great week!

Ladybug card

I had a blast making this card. As a suggestion you could easily use red metallic paper instead of red stickles like I did. I created this card using the following:

• Paper: Bazzill
• Cricut cart: Live Simply
• Brads: Doodlebug
• Ribbon: Ofray
• Cuttlebug: Paisley
• Glitter: Stickles
  Adhesive: 3M, Scotch
