Love You!

This is the first project I made using a Cricut Lite cartridge.  I used the Sugar and Spice cart.  This cart has a lot more than just girly cuts, I really love the versatility of the cart!  The cuts are very basic but that's okay...I just did some extra layering.

I cut the birds at 3" using light blue textured paper.  I cut the birds again using light green paper, then I just cut off the birds.  The beaks, words and little heart in the O's are TINY! They were very hard to work with!

The card base is cut at A2 (small regular 5 1/2" x 4 1/4").  I used white cardstock for the base.  The first layer is the same dark brown as the beak and little base on the birds. The pink layer is embossed using the Cuttlebug D'vine Swirl folder.  I used Celebrate It, Basic Narrows ribbon. I love this particular ribbon, it reminds me of cherry blossoms in Japan (I used to live there). 

After using this cartridge I can't wait to try the other Cricut Lite cartridge I have, B is for Boy!

Father's Day Card

Here is a card I made for my Little Cupe to give to her Daddy! My Big Cupe (hubby) and I call my sweet little girl "Lowly Worm", the character from Richard Scarry.  She got this nickname because she had started to hop around all the time and it just reminded us of Lowly worm and how he hops around because he only has one foot!  The name stuck and now Little Cupe usually gets called some variation of Lowly Worm (low, lowly, lowlys, etc).  She has other nicknames too, which I am sure will come up in future posts!  Anyway, here is the card I made.

The card is A6 size.  All the paper I used is The Paper Company, I don't know which pack (sorry!) they came from.  The blue paper is textured with a Sizzix embossing folder called Dots and Diamonds.  The ribbon is from the dollar section at Target!

The worm (really a caterpillar, but I don't think Big Cupe will notice!) is from the Create-a-Critter cartridge (I really have been using this cart A LOT!). It's cut at 3 3/4".

I used my laser printer to print the wording from the front and inside of the card on the cardstock. I don't know if anyone is really interested in the font I used but it's Segoe Print.

I don't know if Little Cupe is going to give this card to Big Cupe, she saw it and declared that it was hers!

Pink Stamper Father's Day Challenge

The Pink Stamper is having a challenge and giveaway. The challenge is to make a Father's Day Project and post it, then you will be entered in the giveaway! She is giving away a CRICUT EXPRESSION!!

For my project I chose to make a card for my dad. I had to think hard for this one because I didn't want to make my dad a generic themed card, ya know?! I wanted it to be special and unique to him. I finally thought of a great idea! My dad has nicknames for me and my siblings, we've had them forever! My nickname is "mouse" because I am quiet (well I was when I got the nickname!!). My sister is "turtle" because she was slow (like a turtle) and my brother's is "bug" because he was small, or because he is buggy, not quite sure on that one (just teasing!)!

I used the Create-a-Critter cartridge for my animals (aren't they cute?!). I wanted a simple card, because that's my dad, straight to the point! So I didn't embellish too much! I used a EK Success border punch for the bottom edge, but that's it. I printed the words using my laser printer with cardstock. I like how the laser printer prints letters so crisp.  Here is the inside:

Again, I used the EK Success border punch so give it a bit of embellishment but not too much!  I can't wait to give him the card, I think he is going to enjoy it a lot!

Challenge Me Monday Project

Today, I created a card for Challenge Me Monday at Fantabulous Cricut. The Challenge was to create a card with at least 3 flowers on it.
I have had this cute print paper for a long time, I think it is from DCWV, but I could be wrong! I love the colors in this paper so I wanted to use those for the whole card. The card is cut at A6 (6 1/4 X 4 5/8).

The bird is from the Create-a-Critter cartridge, it's cut at 2 inches. I used the same flower cut that is from the bird, it's the Layer 2 cut. I cut the flowers with "Real Dial Size" so that they would be big. The pink flower is cut at 1 1/2 inches and the yellow and brown flowers are cut at 1 1/4 inches.

Since the card was brown I added yellow paper to the inside and put a flower inside, too.

Hope you like it!!

Thinking of Grandma

I made this card for my Grandma. She loves getting cards from her grandchildren so I thought I'd make her one to let her know I was thinking of her. We live in Texas and she lives in Michigan so we don't see her that often. My Grandma loves bright colors and flowers so I thought I'd do something using bright colors!
For this card I used some of the cardstock that has been collecting in my scrap basket! The printed flower cardstock is the Citrus Stack from DCWV. I embossed the yellow paper using the "With Gratitude" Cuttlebug embossing folder. The flowers were from a scrapbooking travel tote that I received as a gift and the button was just something I had laying around. I am sorry I didn't take more pictures but my camera battery died after the first one!!

Pink Stamper Challenge #10

This challenge was to make something "springy" with flowers or something for spring. I made this card, it's pretty simple but I think it is cute!

Pink Stamper Challenge # 12

The challenge is to make something with an animal or critter. Does a bird qualify as a critter? Hmm..I hope so cuz that's what I used! I wanted to use this pretty blue paper with a little design on it and it just seemed like a bird would be a good idea! Do you like it??
