You're My Pot of Gold!

Hello creative friends! Today I would like to share with you a card I made for a few challenges. I used the free St Patricks Day cut from Cricut Craftroom. I think this is my favorite "pot o gold" cut. I love the layers and the inset clover/shamrock. I embellished the gold coins with Stickles (of course) as well as the "sparkles". The circle layer is dry embossed with Cuttlebug's Argyle folder and the green layer is  embossed with Darice's St Patrick's folder. I used a sentiment stamp from Scrappy Moms' Spring Fling set.

March Card Kit cards

G'day crafters!

Here are a few cards I made from Catchy Crafts March kit. There are sections on some of the cards I left unfinished so I could add a banner/tag sentiment later. I still have so much leftover from the kit I could make some extras. So, you may see some of the similar stamps and cs on some challenge cards shortly:-) The card stock is from the DCWV Lemon Flower stack and the stamps are from jillibean soup chilled cucumber soup set. The heart  in the "Love you more" stamp is colored in with green marker, Wink of Stella, and Glossy Accents. This helps to add sparkle and dimension to a relatively flat card.

Tweet Me!

I'm not an avid Twitter user, but I thought this Scrappy Moms sentiment worked so well with the card I made for Celebrate The Occasion's sketch challenge.

I stamped and watercolored one of the bird images from Iron Gate Stamps Birdhouse set. Next, I cut out the flags from coordinating cardstock from the Heidi Grace Sunshowers pad. I used the same cardstock for the Sizzix/Stampin' Up Little Leaves branch die. The base is Bermuda Bay textured cardstock from Stampin' Up. I used the same color dye ink to ink the edges of the layers and to stamp the IGS Clouds background. I finished the card with Caribbean bakers twine from The Twinery. Thanks for stopping by! Have a creative day:-)

FCCB Easter Project Challenge

Time again for another Fantabulous Cricut Challenge! This weeks theme is Easter. Let's see all those bunnies, chicks, and eggs! Here is my DT inspiration for you. I used the Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake Art cart and layered it on a 5x5 base with Echo Park Dots & Stripes Candy Shoppe patterned cardstock. My inspiration was to use patterns normally seen on Easter eggs. The scrap piece of blue is embossed with Sizzix Chevron embossing folder. I tied a little antique button I purchased on Etsy (best place for cool papercrafting supplies) with some white cotton crochet yarn.

Please stop over to The Fantabulous Cricut Challenge blog to see all of the other fabulous DT projects as well as all of the details about this weeks challenge. Thanks for stopping by! Have a creative day:-)

I {heart} Sketches challenge

Well, even though it's the first day of Spring, it's 9 degrees here in IL with windchills below zero! It's amazing that a year ago it was in the 80's.  Well, that's the midwest for you:-P  My project today is an A2 size card for the I {heart} sketches challenge. I used Iron Gate Stamps Birdhouse stamp set along with a cute little paper pad set from Heidi Grace, Sunshowers. The images are stamped with black StazOn and then watercolored with Staedtler watercolor crayons. The birdhouse was cut out and popped up with foam adhesive dots. The circle die is from My Creative Time, the tag die is from Stampin' Up, and the flower is from Punch Bunch.
