Falling for you...Challenge #57 CWC

Hello crafty friends!!

Oh my is this a busy part of the year..and it's not even Christmas!! LOL  I know I haven't posted, but I have SO many projects almost completed...I am gonna blow my blog up as soon as they're done!! hahaha  okay, okay, onto my post today.  Over at Cooking with Cricut we were challenged to make a card or lay out with scarecrows, hays, and or crows...of course following a sketch.  Let me just say, we have some talented ladies!!

I made TWO cards.  I had so much fun with this!

The first card I made for my dear sister to give to her husband who is currently serving in Afghanistan.


Isn't he ADORABLE??!!  This card was made using the scarecrow digi stamp from PWC-Paper Crafting World, the pumpkin was cut from PDDU and embossed with swiss dots.  I cut two of these and used the middle section of one to "pop" out the center for dimension.  The leaves were cut using Create A Critter.  The stamp is a $1 studio G stamp from WM...SO cute!!  Paper is from Mariposa and Colorbok.  I inked the edges with Chestnut chalk and ran it over the embossing.  I also embossed the sentiment with a clear embossing pearl lustre.  I think it came out so cute.

My next card is for my mom.  I wanted to brighten her day! :)

I used the Simply Charmed cart for all of the cuts.  I used PKS everyday faces for the pumkins and words.  I used Stickles for the leaves and vines of the pumpkins and some ribbon from my stash.  The paper is the harvest stack from DCWV.


Isn't he cute?!  I cut him out using my gypsy. (actually all of my card was designed on my gypsy)  I cut his hands and feet off.  I used rafia (painstakingly...lol) for his hands, feet, and hair.  I added brads for his "buttons".  I think this will make my mom happy!!

Now go on over and check out what the other talented design team ladies have created.  It will surely get your creativity flowing!  Don't forget to link up your project with us!

Happy crafting!

Wonderful!

Hello fellow crafters!  I hope you are all enjoying this week so far.  Only a couple more days until the weekend...woohoo!!

Today over at Cooking with Cricut we had a challenge to make a card or lay out with green and purple.  Because October 23 is Mother-in-law day I made a card for my awesome mother-in-law.

Today my card is simple.  I like fancy decorations too, but sometimes simplicity is what finishes a card for me.
I LOVE how the embossing turned out on this shimmery paper!

The bottom paper is actually a light green.  The lighting in my house does this card NO justice as far as color is concerned! 


To make this card I used:

My gypsy of course!  I used it to create the exact size of the card.  Nope, no welding today!

Carts: Accent Essentials
Paper: Mariposa (LOVE LOVE this stack!), Colorbok
Stamps: SU for butterfly and sentiment
Misc: Flowers, brads, and ribbon are all from my stash.  Stampendous Pearl Lustre embossing powder, Ranger Distress Ink tea dye.

I cut the base at 4 x 5.5, and the top layer at 3.74 x 5.5.  
I cut both top layers the same size, and cut the lighter green designed paper at 1 inch to layer it on the bottom.  I then inked the edges of the lighter green layer with the ranger ink.  Did I already say I LOVE this pearl lustre embossing....oh there will be more crafts with this on it!! :D

Don't forget to stop by and link up your project as well!  It can be a layout or a card sketch.  Can't wait to see what you made!

Happy Crafting!!
