Would You Ever Guess Wednesday - Use the Card Feature

Happy Wednesday all my Crafty Friends!!

Today is

For this week we were asked to use the

CARD feature from any cartridge.

There are so many cartridges that

have some really great cards.

My favorite is the Art Philosophy Cartridge.

I use this cartridge all the time.

But for this week, I wanted to try using another

cartridges card feature.  I started searching for

cartridges with a card feature using my gypsy.

There were so many that I could not decide,

so I decided to make two cards this week.

This first card is kind of plain, but it is

a father's day card so that will work!!

Here is a sneak peak.

For this card I used the Wrap It Up cartridge.

You can find this image on page 60.

Sorry, but I cannot recall what size I cut it at.

I embossed the card with a striped Cuttlebug folder

and then inked with with Brushed Courderoy Distress Ink.

The pattern paper is from DCWV Neutrals Pack.

I added some copper tinsel string and the tag and

sentiment are from My Creative Time's Teeny Tiny Tags.

This next card was cut from the Zooballoo cartridge.

I cut the card shift image from page 126 at 5"



  I cut the little elegphant from 127

main shift image at 2.5"

I embossed the elephant with the

swiss dots embossing folder.

The happy birthday is from page 127 cut at 1"

I added some stickles and some glitter tulle.

I also added some faux stiching with a glitter

gel pen, which I also used to outline

the sentiment.

The paper is from the DCWV Animal Crackers Pack.

For my first project this month, I decided to make a project directly from the book, using the "Just Because Cards" Cricut Cartridge.  I had ourchased this adorable paper from my LSS, it is from Best Creation Inc. "Robot" line.  When I saw this paper, I knew the exact cut I wanted to use!! 

The card base, label, and space ship were all cut from page 33,  the card base was cut at 8".  I had orginally cut the label at 8" as well, but I thought it was too big, and wanted you be able to see the wonderful paper, so I cut a smaller one, unfortunately, I did not save the resized image.  The spaceship was cut at 8" as well.  The sentiment was a sticker from the same paper line.  I mounted it on a piece of orange glitter cardstock and cut around it to make a shadow layer.  I used a few different cuttlebug folders, and finished it off with some twine.

For my second project, I used 3 cartridges.  Blackletter, Beyond Birthdays and Celebrate with Flourish.

The base of the card was cut from Beyond Birthdays at 7.31"h.

The frame and banner were cut from Blackletter.

The frame was cut t 6.10" and the banner at 1.31"

The flower in the vase is from Celebrate with Flourish.

All the layers were cut at 3"h

All the paper is from the"Perfect Day" paper pack from Close to My Heart.

I embossed the sentiment (very messy!!) with Copper Zing Glitter Embossing Powder.

I distressed everything with Antique Linen and Iced Spruce Distress Ink.

The ribbon is from My Craft Spot.  I did not have the right color, so I inked

some Vintage Vanilla with the Iced Spruce Distress Ink.

I finished it off with some Stickles in Xmas Red and Crystal.

cartridge that Erica is giving away today.

Theme Day Thursday - Use any Cart - National Day ofr Prayer

Hello and welcome to another

Today's we could use any cartridge  and the

theme is National Day of Prayer.

My nephew's daughter is making her first

holy communion this month, so I decided

to make a card for her.

For this  card I used Simply Charmed and Once Upon a Princess.

Here is a sneak peak.

The cute little girl was cut from Simply Charmed.

She is the bride cut from page 72.

I cut her and some of the layers

at 4.5".  I did not use all of the layers

and I did hide the bouquet placement

lines using my gypsy.  There were a

few pieces that I had to snip off from

the back layer that were for the bouquet.

I also hid the face features and used the

Peachy Keen Princess Faces to stamp

her sweet little face.

I embossed her dress using the Textile Texture

Cuttlebug Embossing folder.

I added some gems to her headpiece and

her dress.

The background paper is from the

Best Creation "Walk in My Garden" line.

I cut the purple label from Spellbinders

Curved Rectangle die,

and embossed with Cuttlebug

Language of Love folder.

I tied a bow with a piece

of glitter tulle.

The tag is from Martha Stewart.

I stamped the sentiment from

K Andrews "Amazing You"

and "Owly Hoo Sentiments" stamps set.

I embossed the sentiment with

tinsel embossing powder.

For the inside of the card

the sentiment was cut using the font

feature on Once Upon a Princess.

I am really happy with the way the card turned out, and I

hope Becky likes it too!!!
