SOUS Die Cut Challenge - Key To My Heart

     Hi and welcome to my blog! First I want to say I am so sorry this is up so late. Life got away from me and I forgot but I have it up now :) Today we have a new challenge from SOUS and it is called Key To My Heart. At first I thought of using a really cute svg file from Miss Kate Cuttables but I decided to go a different route. Anything chocolate, especially cupcakes, are the Key To My Heart so I am going to use the literal meaning of Key To My Heart.
     I am using a standard A2 card base of 4-1/4" by 5-1/2" to start off my project. Next I chose to use a cupcake from Cricut cartridge Sweet Treats cut at 4-1/2". I

decided to use Valentine colors to using the suggested colors in the booklet. I embossed the top of the cupcake to give some dimension to the frosting and added some cute sequins as candy sprinkles. The sentiment on the bottom is using a die cut from My Craft Spot. It is hard to see the dimension of it

sticking out but it gives a little more flair to the card. Here are all the details:

• Cricut cart: Sweet Treats
• Paper: Doodlebug Lovebugs
• Cardstock: Bazzill
• Ribbon: Really Reasonable Ribbon
• Sequins: Own Stock
• Stamp: My Pink Stamper
• Ink: Versafine Onyx Black
• Banner: My Craft Spot
• Adhesive: Scotch, Zig

     Thanks so much for coming to my blog and looking at my Stuck On U Sketches Die Cut Challenge - Key To My Heart project. This card was so much fun putting together with all the extras. My favorite part would have to be the banner. Love the dimension. Well, have a great weekend everyone and thanks again for coming! :)

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! :)

#8 card

Here is my nephew Bradley's birthday card.

Cake card

Well, here is my newest creation. I am doing the challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut and I had so much fun making this card. The challenge is to use the color yellow and a triangle shape. I put yellow in my cake and the triangle is the top of the cake. I used the Cricut card Sweet Treats and cut the cake at 3-1/2. I cut the wording at 2-1/2. I then put ribbon around the top layer and pop dotted the slice of cake and just glued the wording on. Here are the details:

• Cricut cart: Sweet Treats
• Paper: Bazzill
• Cuttlebug: Swiss Dots
• Ribbon: Ofray
• Pen: White Uni-ball Signo
• Stickles: Glam Pink
• Adhesive: ATG, Zig 2 way glue, Recollections pop dots

I hope you enjoy my card and are having a fantastic weekend so far. Thanks so much for looking.
