I used this cute cut from Simply Charmed cut at 3.5. The paper is from the Cosmo Cricket Matilda paper pad. I used my circle punch to punch out a circle for a moon. The sentiment on the front is from MFT and the inside sentiment is from Stampin' Up. It was a quick and easy card but a fun one!

Happy Unbirthday

Hi everyone, welcome to celebrate it Fridays, Disney edition. This week's card uses the Alice cut from Disney Classics. She is cut at 5.5 and the mushroom is cut at 4.0. The butterfly is cut at 2 and comes from Create a Critter.I did quite a bit of doodling on her and I think that it really makes her outfit pop a bit. Her eyes are blue stickles as they just didn't cut properly. The size of the card is 5.5x6 and the bashful blue cardbase was embossed with the Once a princess cuttlebug folder. The dp is Pacific Point from SU and the sentiment is from Pink by Design Animated Greetings. I think that this is a super fun card and I think that it came out cute! Thanks for looking today.

Paradise

Hi everyone, Today, I have a card that I made for the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge. The challenge this week is to create a project about summer. I always think of the beach when I think of summer so I made a card that makes me think of the beach.

I used the summer celebrations cartridge for my sand castle. It was cut with my Cricut at 3.5 and the sun is from the Create a Critter cartridge and was cut at 1.75. I hid the face cuts with my Gypsy so I can use some Peach Keen stamps for the face. The paper is from Echo Park and the sentiment is from Pink by Design. I used stickles on most of the cuts and I think it looks fresh and summery. Thanks so much for looking today.

You're Incredible

Hi everyone, Welcome to Celebrate it Fridays, Disney edition. This week's card is one that I used for my husband's birthday. Mr. Incredible is from the Best of Pixar Cricut cartridge and is cut at 5.0. I used orange and yellow stickles to embellish my cut. I also used my white gel pen for his eyes as they were so small that they were just a dot on the mat. The DP is from SU and is from my stash and the sentiment is from Pink by Design. I found that this cut out fairly well. I had slight problems with the orange and yellow parts but everything else cut fine.

Winner of the MME paper pad is jodi.

Cast a Spell

Hi everyone, I have another challenge card for you guys. This one is for the CardzTV challenge. The challenge was to to make a Halloween card using any card feature. I used the card feature in Just Because Cartridge, cut at 5.5. I also used my new Create a Critter 2 cartridge, love this cartridge but Provocraft needs to get this sucker on the Gypsy because I am struggling to use this thing in my E2, maybe my Expression but I have that one packed away.

The images on this cartridge are just so fun. I really wanted to hide the face on my tree but without my Gypsy I'm just lost. The paper that I used is Cosmo Cricket Matilda. Thanks so much for looking today!

Giddy Up


Hi everyone, welcome to Anything Goes Wednesday. Today's card came out so cute and was very easy. The dp that I used is from  the Cosmo Cricket mini deck Baby Jane and all the papers in there go very nicely with a western theme. My main image is from the Yee Haw Cricket Lite cartridge and is cut out 3.75 in black, white and cream and in the dp for his shirt. I used foam tape to adhere him to the front of the card and did some shading with my light gray copic marker. I added diamond stickles to his hat. The sentiment is from Pink by Design. Thanks for looking today, be sure to leave a comment and let me know what you think of today's card.

Spooky Greetings

Hi everyone, Happy Sunday! We had a fun day, we did our annual apple picking outing. The place we went this year had delicious apple cider doughnuts. Yum! Tonight, I am sharing a card that I made for the CardzTV challenge. The challenge was to make a card for any holiday. Since Halloween is around the corner, and I just got the Create a Critter II cartridge, I decided on a Halloween card. I had some problems because the cartridge isn't on my Gypsy yet. It won't be on there for a couple of weeks so I had to figure out how to cut the old fashioned way, with the cartridge!


I made an S card using a Debbie Mum holiday paper pad that I got about 3 years ago. My circle and scallop was cut from the Art Philosophy cartridge at 3 inches. I cut the pumpking at 3.0 from the Create a Critter II cartridge. Don't forget that I have blog candy here.

Hi everyone, welcome to celebrate it Fridays, Disney edition. This week's Disney card is from the Disney Classics Cricut cartridge. The red queen is cut at 4.0 and this awesome background paper is from SU and is called Jackpot. I used red and yellow stickles on her outfit and crown and since the eyes cut so small, I used my white gel pen for her eyes. I used a black grosgrain ribbon frm my stash and this perfect sentiment is from My Creative Time. I think she came out fabulous. Thanks so much for visiting today!
