Today's card uses my favorite Create a Critter cart - the koala which was cut with my Cricut Expression at 3.5 in grey and black. The outfit and dp is Sending Love Specialty from SU. A simple card but I think very cute. This year I plan on surprising my friends and sending out Valentine's cards. It's one of my resolutions, which is to send more cards out. Instead of making them and doing nothing with them.

Happy happy Thursday everyone! Today I am sharing a card for the My Pink Stamper challenge. It's Robyn's birthday and she's celebrating. The challenge was to make a birthday card. This card was made using my Cricut Expression and the 3 Birds cartridge. The first time I've used it. The paper is retired DP, I believe that it was a hostess bundle. The ribbon is pink pirouette and the cardstock is baja breeze and the new pear color. The stamp is from Robyn's stamps.
Today's post is a shout out to my friend Melissa. I mentioned that I loved the cuttlebug folder with the little hearts and guess what? She sent it to me! Yay!!! She also sent this super cute card too. I haven't had a chance to open it - I've been getting ready for the Cricut Circle Crop but I can't wait to open it and play. Thanks Melissa for the happy mail.
Today's card uses a tea set from Paper Trey Ink. I used retired SU paper along with the colors old olive and tangerine tango. I used scallop nestabilities along with this tea die from PTI to cut out my tea pot. I actually love coffee for everyday but there is something very restful and relaxing about a properly made cup of tea. My friends and sister and I love to go to afternoon tea at least once a year and have all the little sandwiches and treats and drink gobs of tea. A really fun way to spend the afternoon with girlfriends.
Last week's winner is Tini! Please email me with your address so that I can mail your prize to you. This week's prize is this very cool Love Bug stamp set. Leave a comment on this post and I will post a winner next Friday using random.org.
So here is my other strawberry card. This time using the strawberry from the Simply Charmed cartridge. This strawberry is more cutesy and happy but doesn't seem small compared to the other one? I also didn't cut a shadow for it but I am not sure that would make much difference. I used retired SU valentine's paper and cuttelbugged my main cardstock piece with swiss dots and used some gingham ribbon that I have loads of.
Today's card is this cute card that I made for the My Pink Stamper challenge. I cut this dog from the Create a Critter cartridge at 3.5 in pink and in the Sending Love Speciality DP. The riding hood red cardstock was run through my cuttlebug with a Valentine's hearts Sizzix embossing folder. The ribbon is from my stash and the sentiment is from My Pink Stamper. The bottom edge of the dp was punched with the heart edge punch from SU. I think that it came out really cute, you can't see in this pic but his little ears are so sparkly from the DP.
As I have been experimenting with my Cricut, I have discovered that sometimes sizing can be wonky. I have a card later to share this week that uses a strawberry in similar sizing but it is a way different size. This strawberry is from the Hello Kitty Greetings cartridge. I used more retired SU Valentine's paper along with blushing pink cardstock which I cuttlebugged with swiss dots. It layered nicely and is cut at 3.75 and I cut a shadow for it. It just seems super huge to me. The sentiment is from either Hello Kitty or Simply Charmed. I can't remember a I used the same sentiment for both of my berry cards.
This week's cricut circle challenge was a sketch challenge. I also had to use buttons and stamping. Whenever I do one of these challenges I always try to make it relevant to my own pictures and scrapbooking needs. So I decided to use these fabulous pictures from our Big Bear trip last year. I used Basic Grey Dasher paper along with Bazill pink and blue cardstock and the white cardstock is from CTMH. I followed the sketch faithfully, I stamped snowflakes underneath the title block - both the title and the snow angel are from the Winter Frolic cartridge. I used my cuttlebug and sizzix snowflake die for the embossed pink cardstock parts. Let me know what you think!
Todays' card uses all Papertreyink products except for the crumb cake cardstock which is from SU. I used the Mahalo stamp set. AFter I cut out the poinsettia I just attched all of the pieces to my card. The hawaiian shores cardstock is so pretty and it really feels like Hawaii to me. Hope that you all doing well and staying well. We are well into flu season here in So Cal!
Happy Birthday to my maniacal niece Kayla who turns 2 today. We will be heading over to my sister's house for a light lunch and some cake to celebrate. This is the card that I made for her. She loves all things Disney especially Minnie Mouse so I thought that it would be fun to make a Minnie card using my Cricut Expression and Mickey and Friends cartridge. Minnie is cut at 3.5, I don't know that I would cut her much smaller because there are a couple of tiny pieces. Overall the piecing was not too bad. I used retired SU Valentine paper from last year, it's glittery and retired polka dot ribbon. The sentiment is from the Mickey Font and I welded the words together with my Gypsy.
Last week's winner is: Dorcas Dee Troche. Please send your information so that I can mail your prize to you. I had a student named Dorcas a couple of years ago. She went by Dory because she hated her name. The name Dorcas actually means Gazelle which I think is very elegant, but I don't think I quite convinced my student. So thanks Dee for reminding me of that lovely student. This week's prize is this fun stamp set. To win just leave a comment on this post and I will select a winner next Friday.
Today's card uses almost all Paper Trey Ink. The stamp set is Aloha and the paper is from Beautiful Blooms and the colors are black and hawaiian shores. Once I stamped the main surfboard image, I colored in with copics. It's a simple card but it was fun playing with some new products.
Hi everybody! I have one more Cricut project to share this week. Today's project was for challenge on the Cricut Circle blog. The challenge was to "scraplift" a project from the blog. I chose to scraplift the project in the picture below. Above you see the box that I used which is similiar to the project below. I used the Batman cart for the lettering cut at 1.25 and the dp is Cosmo Cricket - it's the snorkle/lil' man double deck. The paper around the edge is SU Greenhouse Gala. I did not decorate the front of my box as elaborately as I plan on giving the box and the little match cards to 2 1/2 year old Lily. Lily loves playing matching games and loves little cards. She puts all of her treasures, bits of ribbon, little cards and other small toys and random treasures in her little back pack and I didn't want things easily ripped off.
