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)

Tea Time Birthday Card

Hello all my crafty friends.  I got to spend some time in my craft room today, so I made a card for my
stepdaughter's birthday.  When I asked her what she wanted, one of the things was an Iced Tea Maker from Teavana.  I asked "what is Teavana?".  Well let me tell you, Teavana is this wonderful tea store.
They sell all types of loose leaf tea.  Now I like tea, but am not a crazy tea drinker, but after finding this

store, I may become one!!  The have they most aromatic, delicious teas!! 

I not only bought her the Iced Tea Infuser and a gift set of teas, I bought the Iced Tea Infuser and some loose leaf teas for my husband and I too!!  This might become a new obsession!!

So, to go along with what I hope is a wonderful gift, I made Monique a tea themed birthday card!!

I used the Love You A Latte cartridge.

I cut the teapot at 3".

The teacup was cut at 1.5"

Both faces come from the new Peachy Keen

April Stamp of the month.

This little tag is from My Creative Time

Teeny Tag Greetings Die.

The sentiments are all from

the Peachy Keen April Stamp of the Month.

The teapot is mounted on an Action Wobble.

All the paper is from

DCWV Cafe Mediterranean

cardstock matstacks.

I added some My Craft Spot crinkle ribbon

in Light Denim and some trim

from Creative Iamginations

along with some twine and a few gems.

I really hope that Monique likes her gift

and her card!!

I will be entering this in the following challenges:

Peachy Keen - Challenge #13 Anything Goes

My Craft Spot - Monday Challenge #51 - Inside & Out

Wobble Wednesday's Challenge #5 "3 Circle Challenge "

Go Fish Challenge #15 - Anything Goes

Here is my project....

My project was to make a card:

I decided to make gift card holders for my manager and team lead at work since I got them each a Starbucks gift card!!  I used the Cricut Lite "Love You a Latte" cartridge.

For this card the bag of coffee was cut at 2.25"w x 2.78" H.

For this card the latte was cut at 3"

I used Recollections paper for both cards and the sentiments are from the new stamp set from Scrappy Moms Stamps called "Freshly Brewed".  Isn't it perfect!!

Oh, almost forgot, the gift card holder was cut using my cuttlebug and the Gift Card Die from My Creative Time!!
