Summer Love

Hello and welcome to another Throwback Thursday challenge!!! Our challenge this time is to make a card using either Just Because Cards or Wild Card and there must be some kind of embossing {either heat or dry} on it somewhere. For my card I used the Just Because Cards cartridge for my card base and for the watermelon. My embossing on this card is "dry". I used my stylus to smush in the seeds on my watermelon to make them shiny and more real looking.....and of course you can't tell from the pics! LOL....grrrrrrrrr......

For my sentiment I used 2 separate word stamps from the Have Fun in the Sun stamp set from MyCreativeTime. I love that you can mix and match and make your own sayings! ;) Ok, that's my card for this challenge!!! Head over to Emma's blog to see her card and the rest of the awesome designers creations!!! I hope you have fun with this challenge...I sure did!

We're A Pear Card

Hello! I have been having fun breaking in my new cartridges! For this card I used the pear from Preserves and the "we're a pear" phrase from Just Because Cards. I figured out that having the Gypsy will be helpful with the "just because" cards cartridge if you want to use the cuts for something other than with the specific card they go with. The cricut cuts them proportionately, so if you cut something at 3 inches it is TINY because it is supposed to fit on a 3 inch card. Get it? I think that made sense, LOL.

I cut the pear at 2.75 inches from Coredinations "Nostalgia" cardstock and the greens in that stack are PERFECT for the pear! I used my Gypsy to size the word art and it came out to be cut at 4.36 inches. The patterned paper is from the Nook and Pantry collection by Basic Grey. The ribbon and button twine are from papertreyink.com. LOVE their stuff!

I hope you're having a FABULOUS day! I am super excited for TV tonight...THE RETURN OF GLEE!!!! I don't know about you all, but I am a total GLEEK!!!!!! ;o)

HUGS!!! Nikki
