MCT Designer Challenge

Photo Credit 

Hiya! It's time for another Designer Challenge at MyCreativeTime! This time we have the above photo and color combo to use as inspiration. Here is my card...

I used the Stitched Chunky Jar Dies to create my shaker window. I inked up the lid with soft granite Hero Arts shadow ink. I used the tall font in the Alpha Pack to white heat emboss my greeting on the shaker window. 

I cut the lemons from white cardstock with the Preserves Cricut cartridge. I colored them with squeezed lemonade distress ink, and lemon yellow Hero Arts shadow ink. I used shabby shutters and crushed olive distress inks on the leaves. 

Pop over to MyCreativeTime to see more projects and to play along!

So Super Sweet Card

Hello and HAPPY SATURDAY! This card was born because of the ADORABLE vintage Strawberry Shortcake ribbon my Aunt Linda gave me. SO CUTE!!! THANK YOU AUNT LINDA!!! Look how cute the spool is!

Anyhoo...The Strawberry is from the Preserves Cricut Cartridge. I ran the top layer through the cuttlebug in the swiss dots folder to make the "seeds". The scalloped circle is from the Winter Woodland cartridge {my FAV scallop!}

 

The sentiment stamp is from the Everyday Occasions set by My Pink Stamper. I hope you're having a BERRY-RIFFIC weekend!

SWEET BERRY WISHES TO YOU!

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
