Published in Cricut Magazine!

I just wanted to share the card I had published in the May Cricut Magazine.  It was for their "Quick, Easy, and Fabulous" section.  I cut the cupcake shape from the Cricut Sweet Treats cartridge at 4", using my Gypsy to weld together two of the base shapes to create a shaped card.  I ran the chocolate layer through my Cuttlebug with the Divine Swirls embossing folder, and topped the card with a flower made from a 4" cut from the Cricut Flower Shoppe cartridge.

The tag is cut at 1 1/4" from Sweet Treats and stamped with a sentiment from the My Creative Time This & That stamp set.

Below is the magazine that has my card. :-)

Spring Fling Birthday

My mom's birthday is on Saturday, and I just had to make her card with my new Teresa Collins Spring Fling papers.  Aren't they so pretty?  The colors aren't something I normally would have put together, but I really like it!  I also used the Papertrey Ink Movers & Shakers:  Zippers die to hide a little message.

For my main sentiment, I cut out this shape from the Cricut Elegant Edges cartridge at 2".  All of the sentiments I used are from PTI's Movers & Shakers Sentiments stamp set.

I stamped the "Open" arrow on the light pink patterned paper to show my mom where to tear open her zipper.

When she pulls it back, she'll find this message!

To make my pretty flower, I cut two flower shapes from the Flower Shoppe cartridge at 2".  The button on top is from the Spring Fling collection, and I added a bit of twine.

Monday Madness... Imagine That!

It's another My Creative Time "Monday Madness... Imagine That" design team post!  Today Emma has asked us to make a shaped card using our Imagines.  I decided to cache a music pattern from the Vintage Papers cartridge to use with the heart shaped card, cut at 4.2", from All Wrapped Up.  I used The Paper Company's kraft cardstock to give it a different look.  For the little bands, I printed and cut them in red, again using the kraft cardstock.  If you have All Wrapped Up, you'll see that I only used the main layer and the little bands.  I didn't need the other layers for this project.  Click here to see the video I made on how to cache a pattern with your Imagine.

For the flower, I wanted to use the text pattern from Vintage Papers, but I didn't want it to be the teeny size the Imagine would make it to scale with the flowers.  Instead, I cut a 7" square with the text, and then I used that to cut my flower parts at 2.5".  The larger petals are the Heart2 cut on page 14 of the Flower Shoppe Cricut cartridge.  For the center of the flower, I printed a 4" square on kraft cardstock, using the same red as before.  I then used this to cut Heart1 from page 14, again at 2.5".

Emma asked me to showcase her Classy & Fabulous stamp set today, and I was thrilled to see that the "Cheers!" sentiment fits perfectly into her Teeny Tag Greetings dies.  I cut the layers out of scraps from my previous cuts, to make them match the rest of the card.  Then I just used a little brad to attach it directly to the card.

I just had to show you that even the back of this card looks cute!  Be sure to stop by My Creative Time to see more fun Imagine projects by Emma and the design team!

Get Well Card

A good friend of mine had surgery last week, so I wanted to make a pretty card for her that would brighten her day.  This is a 4 1/4" square card.  The newspaper layer is 3 3/4" square, and it is stitched to a 4" green square.

To make my flower, I used my Cricut Flower Shoppe cartridge.  I cut four of Stack2 from page 20 at 3 1/4".  On top of that are four Stack2, cut at 1 3/4".  The green layer is Sunflwr1 from page 17, cut at 2 1/4".

To make my tag, I used My Creative Time's Teeny Tag Greetings Stamp & Die set.  I seriously cannot get enough of these teeny tags!!!
