Fantabulous Cricut Challenge - Congratulations Graduate

Have you ever thought you were totally organized and on top of things only to realize - Not! Ugh, I thought I had my two-page layout done for when I was ready to post only to find it most of the components buried under a stack of scrap cardstock and notes for my sons school project. I didn't want to rush putting the layout together because it is for my scrapbook of my daughter, so I decided to do a quick card.

I used the DCWV Grade School stack along with scraps of solid card stock. The base measures 5 1/4 square. I cut the puppy at 4" from the Create A Critter 2 cart. I attached a die cut tag from My Craft Spot's Tiny Tags set. I used some foam adhesive to pop the little guy up on the card.

Congrats To The Graduate!

Now with summer vacation well underway, there are a lot of graduation parties these next few weeks. This is one of the cards I made for a relative that graduated from college. I used the Better Together Imagine Cricut cartridge along with the Everyday Paper Doll cart for the mortar board. I used one of My Creative Time's stamps from the Follow Your Dreams set to create my own patterned CS. I popped up the eyes and wings for extra dimension and added a little baker's twine for a tassel. Yes, that is a smidge of Patina Stickles on the leaves. I'm using this for the Scrapalicious USA challenge this week - I missed the cut-off for a of couple others:-(

Graduation Congrats!

Well, I can't believe it's the end of another school year. I think the older my kids get, the quicker the years go by. I still can't grasp that I will have a high-schooler in the fall! The card I made today is for the Fantabulous Cricut and Celebrate The Occasion challenges. I used the cap from Locker Talk and the sentiment from from MS All Occasions cake cartridges. I cut the cap out twice and layered the top mortar board section of one cut to the entire section of the other cut for some dimension. I did trim off the black tassel portion since I didn't need it. I cut the "Congrats" phrase from a printed sheet from the Imagine Vintage Papers cart. I embossed the Cranberry Crisp CS with the Cricut Houndstooth folder and stamped the card base with  S/U's Linen background stamp using S/U Cranberry Crisp ink.
