WW April Showers Challenge



Hello everyone! Here is my DT project for Whimsical Wednesday's challenge this week. The theme of this weeks challenge is April Showers Bring May Flowers. You are to use one of the following elements in your project: umbrella, rain boots, rain drops, or flowers.

My entire card was done with Create A Critter, one of my all time favorite carts! I cut the chick at 3 inches and stamped the face with a Peachy Keen face stamp. The feet were actually cut from the duck and I glued them over the original feet. The umbrella was also cut at 3 inches. The pond was cut at 1.5 inches and the flowers and grass were cut at 2 inches and .75 inches. I highlighted all of the cuts with my black and white pens and pop dotted the umbrella and grass. I printed the sentiment off my computer, made a tag and tied it to the ribbon on top of the card. To finish I added Glossy Accents to the pond water and droplets to the umbrella and background so it looks like rain drops. I hope you all enjoyed seeing my card and I can't wait to see what you will create! Have fun!

I am also going to enter this into Fantabulous Cricuts Spring Fling Cricut Crawl.

CTO Challenge #9




Hello everyone and welcome to another Celebrate The Occasion challenge! This weeks challenge is Easter or Spring and you must use a punch. For my DT card I did a flap card. I started with a 4 X 11 sheet of cardstock scored at 4 3/4 and 9 1/2. I used my scallop border punch and punched along the flap. The scallop oval and oval were cut from Accent Essentials and George custom shaped in my Gypsy. The duck was cut from Simply Charmed at 2 inches and I welded the feet which were from the duck in Create A Critter to the bottom of the egg. I stamped the face with a Peachy Keen stamp and also stamped the sentiment on the inside. To keep the flap closed I used a velcro dot on the bottom of the scallop and pop dotted the top to the flap. I hope you all like my project and I can't wait to see what you'll create! Have a great day!

Flaunt It Fridays #18


Hello everyone! Here is the card that I did for Flaunt it Fridays challenge. This week the challenge is the sheep cut from Country Life. I don't have Country Life so I cut this sheep from Birthday Bash. I cut it at 3 inches and trimmed off the horn around his mouth. I embossed the white layer with Swiss Dots and highlighted him with my white pen. I rounded the corners of my card and layer piece and added a bow. To finish I pop dotted the sheep and stamped the sentiment. I hope you all are having a wonderful day!

So Saturday Challenge #7


Good morning everyone! Here is the card that I made for Card Creations and More By C's So Saturday challenge. The challenge this week is anything spring related.

I am SO SO SO excited that I FINALLY got the Campin Critters cart! I have wanted this cart ever since I saw it and to top it off I got it at Michaels yesterday for only $34.95! So I couldn't wait to cut something out of it and this is what I came up with. I cut the frog from Campin Critters at 3 inches. I cut out 2 butterflies and folded the wing up to make them look 3D. I cut the frame for the sentiment from Once Upon A Princess custom sized in my Gypsy and stamped the sentiment. To finish I pop dotted the frog and frame and added the bow. I hope you all are having a great day!
