April Showers FCCB Challenge

This week we want to see what you can do with umbrella Cricut cut. There are a lot of options and I went with a more unconventional one. Yes, I associate April with Spring Break! I used a base card of 5 x 5-inches. Next, I layered a 4 3/4" square piece of patterned paper from The Paper Studio's A Day At The Beach paper pack. The mat weave PP is from that same pack. I dry embossed the white piece with the D'vine Swirls Cuttlebug folder. The tropical drink was cut using Something To Celebrate Cricut cart. I used a piece of Pergamano to create more of a "glass" feeling. This was adhered to the card with foam dots. I tied a piece of hemp cording for more texture. The sentiment is from Pink By Design's Girls Just Want To Have Fun stamp set.

FCCB Challenge - Man's World

Happy Monday crafters! I am so excited to tell you that this week's sponsor is one of my very close friends. She has created and produced her own line of clear photopolymer stamps. They are just fabulous! I just can't say enough about her creative talent. You may have seen some of my projects in the past utilized some of her fabulous stamps. She sells them along with other paper crafting supplies at her store, Iron Gate Stamps. This week I used her Fortune Cookies set for the sentiment and border and her soon to be released, Birthday Wishes set for the mustache.

I cut the cupcake out at 3" from the Something To Celebrate cart. I embossed the red background layer with the Cuttlebug Houndstooth folder and the black flag with the Polka Dots folder. The cardstock are scraps. I used Candy Cane Stickles on the heart. Yes, I know this isn't exactly "manly", but I thought it needed a little sparkle:-) I punched a hole in the cupcake in order to insert a toothpick with the HVD banner attached to it.

This week's challenge is all about Tags! I made a super quick and easy tag that can be attached to any Valentine gift. I used the Something To Celebrate cartridge for the banner tag and the Sweethearts cart for the larger hearts. I used a hand punch for the smallest heart. The sweet sentiment comes from My Pink Stamper's Yummy-licious set. The cardstock is from Echo Park's Victorian Garden stack.
