Spring Time Card

This week the challenge at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge is to create a spring time project.

I was inspired by nature itself, the trees, the flowers blooming and the monarch butterflies flying outside.

Tree was cut from the Sweethearts Cartridge at 3 1/2 inches

Grass was cut from Martha Stewart's Grass Punch at 6 1/2 inches long

Monarch Butterflies are also from a Martha Stewart Punch

White Picket Fence is cut from a Martha Stewart Punch

Clouds were cut at 11/2 inches from Create-a-Critter Cartridge

Flowers are from Making Memories Mini Blossom set (layered and set with brads)

Valentine's Cards

I know it's been a month since Valentine's Day, but I've been so busy studying for my GRE exam (even taking it twice since Valentine's Day). I just wanted to share two cards I made.

A2 size card, the pink and black mats are mulberry paper from $1 section at target (years ago)

The smaller pink mat is from Anna Griffin's line of paper (I can't remember the name, it has animal prints in pink and black).

The font is from Don Juan

The heart is from Valentine's Solutions Cartridge

- added red stickles (it's hard to tell) and rhinestones from Michaels $1 section

-Black satin ribbon (from Michaels).

The second card, is the actual card I gave my hunny this year.

This is the first time we've been apart in 4 years, he just moved to Boston to get his MBA for the next two years, so I had to make a special card.

Whenever we say goodbye to each other, we always say "KISSES".

So when I saw the phrase "KISS ME" in the sweethearts cart, I got a vision in my head.

I wanted it to be simple and elegant (and suitable for a guy)

It's difficult to tell but I layered the couple, but there is a shadow which is more visible in person.

I embossed a pearl paper from Target $1 section, with the D'vine swirls Cuttlebug folder, and stickled the swirls with diamond.

The couple is from Sweethearts Cartridge

The ribbon is actually a black satin ribbon about 2 inches wide, with a red velvet ribbon (1inch) layered on top.
