Cricut Wednesday

  I haven't used my Cricut is sooooo long!  When we traveled to Texas for our 6 week stay, I took my Pazzles with me so I haven't posted a Cricut project in quite awhile.   The My Paper Crafting theme for Cricut Wednesday is PINK and, boy, did I do PINK!!!  

 

For this bottom fold card, I welded two of the Accent 1 layers together from the Artiste cartridge.  The scalloped oval is the shift image from that same Accent 1 found on page 32.  I also sized the same shape for the patterned paper mat.  The image is a Vintage Grapic from Paper Crafting World.

A little inking and doodling, some pearls, ribbon, and a crocheted flower that I've had forever finished the card.

 

You'll see more great Cricut projects at My Paper Crafting and I'd like to invite you to join our

PINK challenge.

 

It's Terrific Tuesday

  and I'm finally back with an SVG post for My Paper Crafting. I've used the Flowers 2 cut file from Paper Crafting World which I cut with my Pazzles.  

  The papers are from Close to My Heart.  I added nailheads and lace ribbon from Paper Studio. I added dimension to the flower centers with dots of Liquid Pearls. The card is a gatefold style.   Please visit My Paper Crafting for more ideas using cut files.  PCW cut files support almost every cutting machine (Pazzles, Cameo, etc).  You can also pick up a free cut file and read how to enter to win May's Prize Package.   So glad to be back.  Come back tomorrow for Cricut Wednesday.  

I'm Back!!!

Wow!  I have missed over a week of posting and I'm so happy to be back. I had to replace the mother board in my laptop so I've been away from the blog.
At least I was able to somewhat keep up with my cyber friends using my Kindle.
I have 4 design team posts due for next week so I'd best get busy. Just wanted to let you know that I'm back from Texas and finally back on my blog so stay tuned for some new projects.

Immeasurably Loved

    I've had this sweet image from Paper Crafting World for quite awhile and decided it was perfect to create this Mother's Day card for a dear friend as well as share it for my Digi Desserts Fridaze at My Paper Crafting project.  

I colored the image with Copic markers and used an atYou Spica glitter pen for the gold lettering and to highlight the measuring tape.  The flower is another from my handmade flowers collection created by Jani at Paper Compulsions.  The paper and ribbon is from my craft stash.   I hope you'll visit My Paper Crafting to see more digi goodness from the design team.  There's a new prize package for May and you can be eligible to win just by linking up to one or all all of our challenges.  Of course, there will be free files for you to download, too.   We're home from our extended visit in Texas so now it's time to unpack, get the house back to normal and then get my craft room reorganzied.  

Stash It!

What a great challenge by the Delightful Challenges design team. Since I've been crafting away from home for the last month, I'm only using supplies that I brought from home. Hubby let me fill the back of the pick up with crafting supplies since he gets to haul his quad and other "man-stuff" in the utility trailer. So EVERYTHING used for this card is from my craft stash except the adorable image from Digital Delights by Louby Loo.
Here's my STASH IT project for this week's challenge. I used the Strawberry Delight Value Set which can be purchased HERE This is the complete set:
I could have used the sentiment but I chose a sticker from my stash instead, LOL!
I hope you'll join in the Delightful Challenges STASH IT challenge.  Just add you project to the link at the bottom of the Delightful Challenges blog.  You do not have to use an image from Digital Delights.  However, if you do, you may enter THAT project twice (see blog for details).  Except for the Digital Delights image double entry, you may only link ONE project.
This week's prize sponsor is The prize is a $15 gift certificate

Cinco de Meow

Happy Friday!  It's another Digi Desserts Fridaze at My Paper Crafting. The image I've selected from Paper Crafting World is Cinco de Meow. Such a great image for Cinco de Mayo, don't you think?  

  I hope you'll visit DDF at My Paper Crafting to see even more digi goodness.  We'd love to have you link your own digi project as well.   I think this card is perfect for the 613 Avenue Create photo inspiration challenge.

Pink and Pretty

    One of my daughter's ballplayers celebrated her 21st birthday last week and I wanted to make a card for her.  She is an athlete, an amazing student, a hunter, and a girly girl - quite a combination, right?   I used an SVG cut file from Paper Crafting World so that I would have a project for today's Terrific Tuesday at My Paper Crafting.  This cupcake collection is so much fun.  It comes with quite a variety of cakes, frostings, and candles so you have lots of choices in the type of cupcake you want. You can find the cut file HERE.  

 

for this project, I used:

Cut file - PCW Cupcakes-Assorted

Punch - Martha Stewart Border

Ribbon - American Crafts

Digi Paper - Digital Delights by Louby Loo

Pens - Copics

Embossing - Cuttlebug
