SNC - CC Day 23

Yes, I'm still in the challenge! Just a week left!

I still have several cards to share but I'm not sure where I left off.  Hope to catch up on posting over the weekend :)

Today's prompt is to make a shaped card - let me tell ya that had me sweating!  I have a Cricut and a Gypsy  but there are several features that I don't use often enough so I forget what the little icons mean.  Once I found a shape that I wanted to cut, then it was time to read the manual.

The welding didn't quite match up but not too bad for my first attempt at making a shaped card.   The reindeer was cut at about 5 inches from the Doodlecharms cartridge and the tag was cut at about 1.5 inches from the Tags, Bags, Boxes & More cartridge.  I stamped a sentiment from a Scrappy Moms stamp set on the tag and tied it on with some crinkle ribbon from My Craft Spot.   Added in brads for his eyes and he was declared ready to be photographed.

I'm sharing my card with these challenges:
My Time to Craft #185 - Christmas in August
Moving Along with the Times - Shape Up - Anything but Square
Divas by Design - #49 Anything Goes

TFL!

SnC CCC ~ Day 13

Hi!

Yesterday's prompt for the Christmas card challenge was paper piecing...so I took a big step and dusted off my Cricut to tackle the challenge!

I cut this cute Santa from the Doodlecharms cartridge at approx. 3 inches tall.  I "dressed" him up a bit using my D'vine Swirls Cuttlebug folder on his beard and I added some fun flock to his hat.

I just love how this turned out!

I used the current sketch challenge at Seems a Little Sketchy for my card layout~

TFL!

PaperCutz Challenge #99!

TGIF!

I'm excited to share my PaperCutz Challenge card with you all.  I used the Cricut again!  I really am trying to be better about using the tools that I have and the Cricut is at the top of the list.

This week's challenge is to create a card, layout or project using a Cricut cut, hand stamped or digital stamped image of an ice cream cone, popsicle, ice cream sundae or milk shake using any colors/themes you'd like.  Normally I would turn to my stamps but....I remembered that Doodlecharms has popsicles on it and that is a cartridge I very rarely use. Once I settled on paper to use, the card came together quickly!

All the papers are from the Fancy Pants Beach Babe 6x6 pad and I added a few rhinestones and stamped a sentiment from a summer Cat's Pajamas stamp set.  I inked the edges of the card with Colorbox Chestnut Roan chalk ink.

We'd love to have you join us this week! Click HERE to enter your creation and check out all the fun summery DT samples!
