Card Creating Tuesday - Cancer Support Cards

Today is Card Creating Tuesday at
My Cricut Craft Room
If you follow my blog or MCCR,
you know that we are supproting
Breast Cancer Awareness month.
We are using PINK in all of our projects.
One of the themes for today was to
create a Cancer Support Card.

I used Forever Young to create my card today.

The bra was cut from page 61 of the handbook at 3.5".

I hid the undies as I only wanted the bra!!

The lacy doily is from Martha Stewart.

I added some gem swirls from Recollections

and lace along the edge.

The sentiments are from K Andrews

Fashionable Freinds stamp set.

I stamped it and then embossed

using Zing Embossing Powder.

Here is a pic of the inside

Erica will be collecting

our cards to distribute to

local cancer patients.

Card Creating Tuesday - Guardian Angel

Hello, and welcome to another

Card Creating Tuesday with My Cricut Craft Room.

Today is Guardian Angel Day, and we were

asked to use and angel or anything

associated with angels on our project today. 

Plus, from now until Oct. 15, we

are still using pink somewhere on our

projects.  I am choosing to display pink

proudly as my mom is a survivor.

For my project today, I used the beautiful Angel

from A Quilted Christmas.  I am really loving this

cartridge.  It has at least 4 different ways to cut

each image.  Love the variety.

I cut my angel and all her layers at 5.75"

All the paper is from my stash, various manufacturers.

I debossed the wings using a Damask Decor

Cuttlebug folder.  I embossed the hair

with Divine Swirls.  I added some Stardust Stickles.

The stuff in the corners is called Shaved Ice from

Stampendous.  It is really cool!!

I added some pearl flourishes.

Here is a close up

Her face was stamped with Peachy Keens

"Laffy Taffy" Face Assortment.

This perfect sentiment was found

on Winter Frolic, it was cut at 1.5"

and higlighted with some more Stardust Stickles!!

May Angels be watching over

you and your loved ones!!

Be sure to check out the other Angel cards

today at My Cricut Craft Room.

Today is the 25th, on on the 25th of every month

our Theme is always CHRISTMAS!!

Plus, from now until 10/15 we are using pink

in all our projects in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness.

For Today's project I used A Quilted Christmas.

I just love the beautiful, intricate

images on this cartridge.

I chose to use the Ghost of

Christmas Past from page 41.

She is cut at 4".  Isn't she pretty!!

Here is a close up

I started with a kraft card base.

For the pink layer, I used a piece

of Coordinations Glimmer cardstock that

I embossed and then inked with Distress Ink

in Worn Lipstick.  I also sprayed it

with some Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Mist.

I added some Icicle Stickles.
I stamped her face with
Peachy Keen's "Laffy Taffy"
Face Assortment.

Here is a close up of the sentiment.

It is from My Creative Time's

"Warm Holiday Fun" stamp set.

I heat embossed it with Zing

The stamped sentinment is one of the

stamps included in the Artiste bundle.

I added some Stardust Stickles to give it

some sparkle.  I also inked all papers

Card Creating Tuesday - Sketch

Hello, and welcome to

For today I chose to use the following sketch:

Now, I used the sketch as my inspiration, but I did

not follow it exactly!!

Here is my sneak peak:

   

 I used some shiny cardstock so, the

photograph is not the best.   I don't usually make

this kind of vintage looking card, but

I might have to since I really love the

way this card came out!!

I used Nifty Fifties for the dress, it is cut at 4"

from page 30 of the handbook.

The pattern paper for the dress is from

Webster's Pages.  I love the vintage

look of this paper.  It was just the look

I was going for.  I added some

liquid pearl dots in  Petal Pink.  I also

distress the paper

with Tattered Rose Distress Ink.

For the base of the card, I used an ivory card base

that I distress with Antique Lace Distress Ink.

The next layer was a pale pink paper also

from Webster's Pages.  I embossed it with

a Damask Decor Embossing Folder.

I then added some Tattered Rose Distress Ink.

The next layer is cut from the

Spellbinders Fleur Di Lis Rectangles from

Bazzil cardstock.  The final label was

cut from Spellbinders Label Nineteen.

The paper is DCWV Luxury Stack.

I added 2 pieces of beautiful trim

also from Webster's Pages.  And some

pearls from the dollar bin at Joann's.

Thanks for stopping by today and please make sure

you stop by My Cricut Craft Room to see what

the rest of the design team made today.

I will be entering this card into the following challenges:

Card Creating Tuesday - Sketch

Hello all my crafty friends!!

Today is the last week of June, and my

final sketch.  Let me tell, you this one had

to be the hardest!!  When I saw this sketch, I thought

OMG, I have to make a waterfall card!!

Well I have never made a waterfall or for that fact

any other special type of card. (easel, gate fold, etc.)

So what was I gonna do???  Well to the web of course!!

My first and only stop was Splitcoast Stampers.

If you have never been to this site, you need to check

it out!!  There are all kinds of tutorials.

Here is the one that I used:

http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/waterfall_card

At first it looked intimidating, but it ended up being pretty easy

and I am thrilled with the results!!

Here is the sketch:

And here is a sneak peek of my card!!

These sunglasses were cut at .70" from Forever Young.

I added some gems in the corner and

glossy accents to the lenses.

Next, the bathing suit was cut

from Nifty Fifties at 3.40"

I placed each piece on a seperate panel.

Lastly the flip flops are from

Life is a Beach cut at 2".

All the paper except the card base is from

my scrap pile.  The adorable paper used on the

card base is Imaginisce Makin' Waves.

This paper is so cute, and I was lucky enough to

recieve a few sheets, in a recent order from

Erica's Craft Room Store

The sentiment is from K Andrew's Splastastic Summer

I stamped it on to A Spellbinders Classic Large Square.

Here is a quick video showing the action!!

Boy is it hard to record with your phone and

pull the tab on a waterfall card...LOL!!

(man my hands look old...LOL)

I hope you enjoyed my card as

much as I enjoyed making it!!

Card Creating Tuesday - Sketch

So, for today, I have a very simple card for you.

As I indicated last week, for this month,

I signed up for the sketch each week.

I am trying to expand my style...LOL

Here is the sketch we were to use today

This was a very simple card.

The only Cricut cut is the brown

frame piece in the middle.

This was cut using George and Basic Shapes.
I wanted to keep it plain because it is for my husband.
With Father's Day and his birthday both on
Sunday, I needed a couple of cards.
He likes to wear hats, so I thought
this was perfect for him!!

The darling little hat is a die cut

from My Creative Time's

newest release called

"Here's Looking at You".

The sentiment is from the same set.

The background paper is DCWV "Green Tea" Stack.

The ribbon is from my stash.

Card Creating Tuesday - Sketch

Hello, my crafty friends!!

This month I decided to challenge myself!!

I get in a rut and seem to use the same

design for my cards.  So this month

I decided to sign up for the

sketch challenge each week!!

This first sketch was really a challenge!!

After seeing this sketch, the first thing I thought of was

bubbles.  But then, I was looking through the stuff I

recently got from out wonderful leader Erica,

and I came across these stickers, there are only a few left!!:

Once I saw these stickers,

I knew exactly what I wanted to do.

Here is a sneak peak:

 

For today's card, I used the following cartridges:

Card Base - Elegant Edges

Banner - CCR Party Picks & Pennants

Donuts - Love You a Latte

Slumber Party

Sweet Shop

Most of the paper is Coordinations

The background paper is Best Creations

I also used stickles for the sprinkles!!

For the donut in the right bottom corner, I wanted

it to look like a sugar donut.  So I ran it through my

Xyron face down, and then covered it with

fine glitter.

 

Can you see where I used the stickers??

The sentiment is perfect, don't you think...LOL

It is from My Pink Stamper

"Sweetest Cupcakes" stamp set.

I stamped it then embossed it

using Pink Zing Glitter Embossing Powder.

 

I added some crinkle ribbon from

My Craft Spot in Pink Bubblegum. 

I also embossed with the

Cuttlebug Spots and Dots Folder.

I hope you like my card as much

as I liked making it.

(it would be better if I could eat the donuts...LOL)

rest of the design team made today over at
