Tinkerbell Birthday Card

 

I created this A2 size card for my Besties sweet baby girl, Zoe.

She just turned 3 and loves all things Tinkerbell right now.

 

To create this card I used two Cricut Cartridges.

The green base is from Elegant Edges:

Feature Button: Oblong <Shift>, Button 4 and cut at 5.25

Tink is from Disney Classics:

Using all Feature Layer Buttons: She is Button 27 and cut at 4.0

 

I used my  Cricut Imagine RGB feature for the colors of Tinks Skin, Hair, and Wings.

Skin is R: 253 G: 228 B: 200

Hair is R: 255  G: 245  B: 136

Wings are R: 221  G: 243  B: 239

To find these I googled Tinkerbell RGB Codes and came across this great list by

Courtney Lane Designs...click Here for the direct link.

 

The pink cut that Tink is sitting on is from My Creative Times Vintage Stitched Label Die.

The sentiment is also from My Creative Times Many Greetings stamp set.

I will be entering this card into the MCT Designer Challenge...the challenge was to Emboss.

I used my Cuttlebug Swiss Dots Embossing Folder on Tinks wings and I embossed the sentiment too.

 

I finished off my card by adding Black Divine Twine

and the stitched doodles with my White Gel Pen.

 

Here's a side view...I added dimension by pop dotting Tink and the Vintage Label Die.

I really love how it turned out and can't wait to play some more with my Disney Classic Cartridge.

Follow your Rainbow

 

I am entering this card into the Ink it Pink Challenge by Pink By Design.

This weeks theme was a Rainbow Challenge.

 

I made a shaped Rainbow card using the Hello Kitty Greetings Cricut Cartridge.

I just love this cartridge.

I selected the Card Feature Button on my Gypsy and cut the card base at 11.5w x 3.71h.

I then selected all of the layers and cut them at 4.7w x 3.67 h.

I wanted a little bit of a frame on the inside of the card so I cut it a bit smaller.

 

To finish off my card I embossed the rainbow with the Swiss Dots Cuddlebug Folder, glued the Divine Twine (I got from the Pink by Design store), and stamped my sweet sentiment from

Pink by Design's Simply Everything stamp set.

 

I love how it turned out and how perfect the sentiment works with my card.

 

I am also entering this in The Paper Girls Challenge (Use Twine)

and The Pink Cricut's Link up Tuesday

My Cricut Craft Room - Theme Day Thursday

Today is Thursday which means we are one day closer to Friday...Wahoo!

Today is also my Hubby's Birthday...Yay, I love you baby!

Today at My Cricut Craft Room is Theme Day Thursday and with that we got to use A Child's Year Cricut Cartridge.  I LOVE this cartridge full of fun sillouhettes.

This card is pretty simple, but I really like how it turned out. 

This week I based my cut off of my sentiment and this cut is just perfect.

The sentiment is from Pink By Design's Simply Everything stamp set.

Cricut Cut:

A Child's Year: Button 11, cut at 3.75

To finish up my card I used Divine Twine as the fishing line.

I also added Stickles to the pond and grass that the little boy is sitting on.

Ink it Pink Challenge PbD05

Happy Wednesday my Crafty Friends,

I just wanted to show a quick card I made for the Ink it Pink Challenge by Pink by Design.
To participated in these challenges we are asked to use Pink by Design stamps with a theme.  This weeks theme is "Show us some sparkle!"  Sooo...here is my sparkle:

I used several elements of Sparkle on this card as there is no sparkle discrimination here. :)

I used Shimmer Paper, Glitter Paper, and Rhinestone Bling...Fun!

The Pink By Design stamp used is Shoe Addict, which I won during the last Blog Hop...This stamp set is oober cute.  I don't usually lean towards stamp images as I am all about the sentiments, but this wonderful set has both images and sentiments.  Win! Win!

The sentiment in my picture is a bit hard to read,  it says "Have a Glamarous Birthday".

I added some Divine Twine which can also be purchased at the Pink By Design store to mimick the lace on the adorable shoes.

Here is a side view to show that shimmer and glitter paper

Supplies:

DCWV - the All About Girls Stack and Cardstock Stack

Divine Twine - Purple Plum

Pink By Design Stamps - Shoe Addict

Close To My Heart Ink - Black

Ink it Pink PbD04 - Keep it Cool

I decided to play along with the Pink by Design Ink it Pink Challenge.

This week the challenge is a project with a "keeping it cool" theme since it is summer.

Now, who doesn't love to keep cool with a delicious ice cream cone on those hot summer days?

Cricut Cut:

I decided to do an Ice Cream Cone shape card.

This cut can be found on the Something to Celebrate Cricut Cartrdge.

Everything was cut at 5.5.

Other supplies used:

The cute sentiment "What's the scoop?" is from Pink by Designs Simply Everything stamp set.

Love the variety of sentiments on this set.

To embelish my card I used Stickles: Star Dust, Ruby Slippers, & Glam Pink.

I also added some Divine Twine at the seam of the card.

To finish it I of course had to add feux stitching for a completed look.

This challenge is open until Tuesday July 3rd at Noon...so hurry and get your entry in. :)

My Cricut Craft Room - Card Creating Tuesday

Today at My Cricut Craft Room we had the choice to create a card based on the above sketch.

Here is what I came up with:

This card was fun to use monochromatic colors in Pink of course. :)

I included tags to give the card a little twist...now let's see who is hiding behind these tags.

I used Pink By Design's Stamp set - Take the Cake.  I just love this stamp set.

It is a must have Birthday stamp set in my opinion.

For the Tag Holders and Tags I used Just Because Cards.

The Critters hiding on the tags are of course from Create A Critter.

I welded a tab to the folder cuts so I could add adhesive to the folder and still have room for the tag.

The Tag Holder: Button 21 on the overlay, cut at 7.5 x 3

The Tag: Button 12 on overlay, cut at 3.5 x 2.95

The Beautiful Birdy and her layers are cut at 2.5

The Tag Holder: Button 21 on the overlay, cut at 7.5 x 3.5

Tag: Button 12 on the overlay, cut at 3.5 x 3.45

The Sweet Sheep and her layers are cut at 2.5

The Tag Holder: Button 21 on the overlay, cut at 7.5 x 4.18

The Tag: Button 12 on the overlay, cut at 3.5 x 4.15

The Happy Horse and her layers are cut at 2.5

The Tag Holder: Button 21 on the overlay, cut at 7.5 x 4.75

The Tag: Button 12 on the overlay, cut at 3.5 x 4.77

The Cutie Cow and her layers are cut at 2.75

Here's a better look at the tags:

To add some added texture to my tags I used Divine Swirls and Swiss Dots Cuttlebug Folders.

Another texture I used was Divine Twine.  I especially love the Twine I added to the Horse tag.

To finish the tags I added some doodling.

Hope you enjoyed my Critter Creation!

My Cricut Craft Room - Would you Guess Wednesday

Happy Wednesday...that's right we are half way through the week. Wahoo!

Today at My Cricut Craft Room is Would You Ever Guess Wednesday, which means that Erica challenges us designers to only use the Feature buttons on the Cricut Cartridges.  I love creating on this day because I always find cuts that most times get overlooked. 

For today's creation I took Would You Ever Guess Wednesday a step further and used paper from a Christmas stack...now would you have guessed this paper came from a Christmas stack? 

It is from the Echo Park Holly Jolly 6x6 Paper Pad. 

I just love the colors in this collection. 

Also my tip for my alternative to border punches.

I love the look of border punches but

1) I don't want to spend the money on the punches

and 2) I don't have room to store bulky punches

Sooo...using my Gypsy I created my own Border "punch" by selecting the border from

Elegant Edges and welding it to the rectangle from Gypsy Font.

I love the welding feature on the Gypsy.

Elegant Edges has the perfect borders in the Borders feature for this technique.

Cricut cuts:

Straight From the Nest:  Border Feature, Button 33 on the overlay, cut at 1.75

Elegant Edges:  Border Feature, Button 23 on the overlay, cut at .52

Gypsy Font:  Monogram Shadow <Shift>, Button 44, cut at W5.25 x H3.62 (this is a square made into a rectangle with the Gypsy)

To finish my card I added my Ribbon and Divine Twine, doodled around the edges of the card and added my Sentiment which is from Pink By Design: Take the Cake.

Please go to My Cricut Craft Room to see what my Design Team sister's have created today.

For the month of April the colors we are to use are Blue-berry, Apple and Grape.

Cricut Cuts using my Gypsy:

All of my cuts were from Art Philosophy

First for my card base I selected Button 33 on the overlay and measured at 5.5 x 4.25.

I then copied this image and welded them together.

I copied this image one more time and changed the size to 4.59 x 3.54.

The bottom circle is Button 1, cut at 2.41.

Feature Button: Basic/Icon Layer, Button 1, cut at 2.41.

The top circle is Button 31, cut at 1.75

Feature Button: Basic/Icon Layer, Button 31, cut at 1.75.

Flower on the bottom can be found on Feature: Combo <Shift> Button 41.

I selected this three times and cut at 1, .75, and .50.

Here's a close up of the flower and twine on the bottom of the card.

To finish off my card I added my sentiment which is from My Creative Time's - Many Greetings and some doodling with a White gel pen.

This month I chose four different Cricut Cartridges and I have three cards to share with you today.

My first card was created using Paisley.

I got this sunglass ribbon from Erica with this cute Elephant in mind.

The sentiment is from My Pink Stamper's Fabulous Phrases.

I embossed both layers of my elephant with Swiss Dots & D'vine Swirl Cuttlebug Folders

and I added Glossy Accents to the sunglasses.

My 9 year old niece has been having some bully issues so I am going to send this to her so she remember's that she is FABULOUS! :)

Cricut Cuts:

Button 6 on overlay, cut at 2.75...also used Feature buttons Layer 1, Layer 2 to complete cut.

My second card was created using Yummy Imagine Cartridge and Martha Steward Holiday Cakes.

This was a quick and simple Easter Card.  All of the pattern papers were patterns selected from the Yummy cartridge...this actually has really great pastel colors on this cartridge.

The bunny is from Holiday Cakes.

To finish off this card I added Divine Twine and Star Dust Stickles.

Cricut Cuts:

Background Rectangle - from stock images on the Imagine, cut at 4.2, filled with pattern from pg 43.

Scalloped circle - from stock images on the Imagine, cut at 3.5, filled with pattern form pg 40.

Top Layer of Bunny - <Shift> Button 42 on overlay, cut at 2.2, filled with pattern from pg 42.

(Page numbers reference Yummy Cartridge)

This card was created using Just Because Cards cartridge.

Ok so I saved my favorite card for last...I absolutely love this card!

I bought the paper by Sultry by Basic Gray knowing I wanted to use it for a Watermelon cut.

I also used Divine Twine Pink, Black, and Green and twisted them together and added a knot of each color and I added Glossy Accents to the seeds on the watermelon.

Doesn't it look so Yummy!

Cricut Cuts:

Background Cut - <Shift> Button 32 on the Overlay, cut at 3.71

Watermelon - Feature Layer 1 and Layer 2, Button 32 on the Overlay, cut at 4.0

Thanks a Melon - Feature Word, Button 32 on the Overlay, cut at 3.25

My Cricut Craft Room - My Imagine-ation Monday

Happy Monday!

I hope everyone had a great weekend. 

I spent most of mine in my craft room so it was a very fun weekend for me. :)

Today is My Cricut Craft Rooms My Imagine-ation Monday.  I just love my Imagine...today I used Hello Kitty Greetings and Better Together Imagine Cartridge. 

 One of my favorite features on the Imagine is flood filling images from other cartridges with an Imagine pattern.  This is what I've done for today's card.

Cricut Cuts:

I used the Card Feature Button on Hello Kitty Greetings, Button 9, cut at 5.0 Rel.

This image was flood filled with the pattern from Better Together, page 36.

Feture Button Clothes Layer's, Button 9, cut at 5.0 Rel.

Flood filled with the light yellow that comes with the Better Together Color Palette.

Feature Button Sillohette, Button 9, cut at 5.0 Rel.

Flood filled with the darker yellow that comes with the Better Together Color Palette.

To finish up my card I used pop dots to pop the sun's face and added googley eyes.

I also attached Lemon Divine Twine

 and of course some Stickles (don't remember which ones exactly)

Here is the inside of my card. 

The seintiment is from Pink By Design's Take the Cake.

It says "Hope your day is filled with sunshine & smiles."

The stamped border is from My Creative Time.

Now isn't that just perfect? :)
