Wedding Card

This is the first wedding card I've made.  Used the Sweethearts cartridge for the heart, shadow, and silhouette cut at 3-1/2".  Sentiments from my computer printed on photo paper.  Ribbon from my stash, actually 3 different ribbons (I love them together!).  Silver, black, and red papers are from the DCWV Shimmer Stack.  White is from the DCWV Glitter Matstack.  (the picture doesn't show the shimmer and glitter that well.)  Used Cuttlebug Victoria to emboss the silver background paper.  This card is 5" x 6.5".  Punched the inside red paper with a Fiskars Heart corner punch.

I had a hard time getting a decent picture of this.  It was late and I was tired when I took it!!

Peachy Keen Challenge #50

I wanted to enter the Peachy Keen Challenge; it's their 50th one, and I also needed to make a card for my hubby for Easter.  So here's the card I made for both reasons.  For the challenge, you need to follow the PK sketch and include something metallic.

This is a 4.5x6.25 card.  I cut the white layer at 4.25x6 and embossed it with Diamond Plate cuttlebug.  The scalloped circle was cut from Accent Essentials at 3.5 and the bunny face was cut from Doodlecharms at 3.5.  I really like this bunny face stamped with the Peachy Keen eyes.  I used a metallic brad for the nose and drew in the mouth.  Cut the eggs at 1.75 real dial size (not sure why I had to use that feature but if I didn't, they were cutting at 1/2" or less).  Patterned paper and then solid paper was used for the shadow of the eggs but it didn't really seem to shadow, or maybe it was so slight, you couldn't tell.  Used some Easter ribbon and popped everything up.  The stamp was from Michael's $1.00 bin from last year.  I really like the inside sentiment (2 of them actually), also from $1.00 bin.  Thanks for looking! 

"Hippity Hoppity, Happy Easter Day!"

Here's a simple Easter card I made that I can enter in several challenges.  First, how I did it:

The bunny is cut at 4" from Create a Critter.  I stamped her face with Peachy Keen Everyday Character Faces (well at least the eyes, I drew in the nose and mouth because I don't have the Critter Faces stamps yet).  Isn't she cute?!  Popped her up a bit on thin foam squares.  The yellow paper is from K&Co baby girl matstack, and the green is from Heidi Grace.  Added some white ribbon and 3 soft purple brads.  The stamp is from Michael's dollar bin.  The card size is 6.25 x 4.5.  I rounded all the corners.  On the inside, I used the same green patterned paper and topped it with the yellow paper punched with the MS doily punch.  What do you think?

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:
     Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #56 - use a bunny or chick
     Wacky Wednesday Challenge #35 - Easter theme
     Sentimental Sundays Challenge #57 - Spring/Easter
     Picture Perfect Creations Special Challenge #6 - Easter
     My Sheri Crafts Challenge #53 - bunnies

Thanks for looking, and everyone have a HAPPY EASTER!!

Birthday Cake Card

Made this card for a man celebrating his 70th birthday, but it would probably be appropriate for anyone young or old.  I'm pleased with how it came out.  This was cut from the Wrap It Up cartridge at 6-1/2" and the label from Lacy Labels at 3" fit to length.  The sentiment is from Fiskars Make a Wish Quotes.  Inside is stamped with Happy Birthday.  Embellished the chocolate cardstock with Divine Swirls and added some yellow ribbon from my stash.

I'm entering this into the Birthday Sundaes Challenge #5-Anything Goes Birthday Card.  TFL!
