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! :)

Bee My Valentine Card

     Here is another Valentine's Day card I created. I have been making a lot of cards lately. I decided to try something new this time. I have a Cricut Explore so I am allowed to cut SVG's. I downloaded this bee from Miss Kate's Cuttables. It turned out just too cute. I had a lot of fun with it. Here is a detailed list:

• Bee: Miss Kate's Cuttables
• Paper: Doodlebug's Lovebug
• Cardstock: Bazzill
• Ribbon: Really Reasonable Ribbon
• Stamp: My Pink Stamper
• Ink: Versafine
• Adhesive: Scotch, Zig

      I really hope you have enjoyed looking at my Bee My Valentine creation. I had a lot of fun making it. Thank you so much for coming to my blog.

SOUS Die Cut Challenge - Warm and Cozy

Here is my Stuck On U Sketches Die Cut Challenge - Warm and Cozy. I had a little trouble at first coming up with idea of a project for this challenge. I had to think about what makes me all warm and cozy and I came up with the idea of a nice warm beverage of either a hot coffee or hot cocoa with nice melting marshmallows on top. I knew then I had my project. I started with the Cricut Lite cartridge Love A

Latte. I used my Cricut Explore to cut it out and did a beautiful job at all the tight corners. I am really loving my Explore. I cut the cup out at 4-1/2". This gave plenty of room for my stamp on top. I used foam adhesives to pop the cup up off of the card it's self. Here are all the details:

• Cricut cart: Love A Latte
• Cardstock: Bazzill
• Ribbon: Really Reasonable Ribbon
• Stamp: My Craft Spot
• Ink: Versafine
• Adhesive: Scotch, Zig

I thank you so much for coming to my blog. And thank you for looking at my SOUS Die Cut challenge project. I hope you all have a great weekend. :)

SOUS Die Cut Challenge - Snow

Hello and welcome to my blog. Here is my card for the SOUS Die Cut Challenge - Snow. I was inspired to make this card after we got our first snowfall on Jan 1st, New Year's Day. All the animals searching for food through the snow. I used an A2 sized card for my base along with a light blue layer cut at 4 x 5-1/4. The next layer I cut was 3-3/4 x 5 and then I embossed it.  I cut the tree from Cricut cartridge Jolly Holidays at 4 inches. The robins were cut from Cricut cartridge

Winter Woodland at 2 inches and 1-1/2 inches. I placed stickles on the snow at the base of the tree and the snowflakes. Here are the rest of the details:

• Cardstock: Bazzill
• Embossing: Cuttlebug's Snowflakes
• Ink: Blue Lagoon from Color Box
• Stickles: Diamond
• Blue dots: I-Rock
• Adhesive: Scotch, Zig

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

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
