Easter card

I did it! 2 posts within a week. Congrats me. Enough of that, here we have a very cute Easter chick card that I whipped up in about 3 hrs. It's very simple to complete. I cut the chick from Create a Critter 2 at 4". The fence is a Sizzix die that I cut on my Cuttlebug. I embossed the background paper with Cuttlebug's Traffic die. 

Here are the details: 

• Cricut cart: Create a Critter 2
• Paper: Bazzill, Three Bugs in a Rug
• Twine: Doodlebug
• Die Cut: Sizzix "Yellow die-Picket Fence
• Embossing: Cuttlebug's "Traffic"
• Adhesive: ATG, Zig 2-way glue, Recollections Pop dots

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

• My Craft Spot
• Fantabulous Cricut Challenge

Thanks so much for looking at my blog. I hope you enjoy it.

Hello Kitty card

Well, here I am again with a new card. My Craft Spot is having a challenge right now to make something with embossing either dry or wet. And then Fantabulous Cricut is having a challenge as well that is to make something with either a balloon or kite on it. So I decided to go ahead and make a card with both elements included and I think it came out cute. I decided to use Hello Kitty Greetings from Cricut and also Create a Critter for the kite. Here is the recipe:

• Cricut carts: Hello Kitty Greetings & Create a Critter
• Paper: Bazzill
• Cuttlebug folders: Juli's Garden & Swiss Dots
• Ribbon: American Crafts
• Twine: Doodlebug
• Button: Making Memories
• Adhesive: ATG, Zig 2-way, Zots Pop Dots, & Glue Dots

The card size is 5-1/2"x 4-1/4". I am also entering this card into Card Makin' Mamas. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did making it. Thanks so much for looking and have a great weekend!

Hot Chocolate Cup card

Here is another Christmas card or just an everyday winter day card as it is not Christmas related. This would be great for those friends or family members who don't celebrate the holidays. This card is so super simple to make.
     I used the Cricut cartridge Winter Frolic. This has completely become my favorite go to cartridge for the holidays and winter cuts. I cut the cup at 4-1/2" with the card being 4-1/4"x 5-1/2". I used my Cuttlebug and Swiss Dots folder on the layer and then stitched around the edge. It's hard to see in the picture. I then placed the cup onto this layer using pop dots and then stamped the saying from My Pink Stamper "Happiest Moments". I then adhered the whole thing onto the pink card base. Here are the details:

• Cricut card: Winter Frolic
• Paper: Bazzill and Basic Grey
• Cuttlebug: Swiss Dots
• Stamp: My Pink Stamper "Happiest Moments"
• Thread: Coats and Clark
• Sewing Machine: Janome

Thanks for looking and please enjoy!

Bell Card

Here is a card I did for a challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut. The challenge is to make a project with a bell on it. I choose the bell off of the Cricut cartridge Jolly Holidays. Here are the details:

• Cricut cart: Jolly Holidays
• Paper: Bazzill and Daisy D's
• Ribbon: Unknown
• Silver studs: I-Rock
• Cuttlebug: Tag and Seeing Spots
• Adhesive: Scotch, Ek Success Zig 2 Way Glue

I hope you enjoy it and thanks very much for looking!

Fun Winter Layout

12 Days of Christmas - Day 12

     Well here we are at Day 12 the final day of my 12 Days of Christmas event. It has been so much fun doing this. The best part is I now have cards to mail to my family and friends in plenty of time for Christmas!:)
     For this card I didn't use my Cricut. I know shocking isn't it. I feel in love with this paper and knew it would be perfect for this type of card. Each square is a different size. Starting in the upper left corner the first square is 1-3/4" x 1-3/4". Next square is 1-1/2" x 1-1/2". The big square on the end is 2" x 3-1/2". The next row is 1-3/4" x 3-3/8". The middle square is 1-1/2" x 1-7/8". And the final bottom square is 3-1/2" x 1-3/4". These measurements are based on using a 6" x 6" card base. Here are the details for the rest of the card:

• Paper: Bazzill, American Crafts
• Ink: Color Box Chalk Ink in Warm Red
• Ribbon: American Crafts
• Punch: Martha Stewart
• Adhesive: Scotch, Ek Success 2 Way Glue

     Thanks again for joining me in this 12 Days of Christmas event. I hope you have been inspired in some way. Have a great week and a Merry Christmas!:)
