Another Christmas Card

I made this card for a few last minute gifts.  The embossing came from the Fiskars Texture Plates, and the reindeer is from the Create a Critter Cricut Cartridge.  The ribbon reads, "Merry Christmas" in alternating red and green.  This will be submitted in the Paper Playtime challenge "Anything Christmas". 

Happy Thanksgiving!

I finally got my Thanksgiving cards made for my family and friends.  It features a fold on the right side, a turkey from the Stretch Your Imagination Cricut cartridge, and embossing from the Fiskars Texture Plates.  This will be entered in the Cute Card Thursday Challenge #138 (anything goes).

Something That Flies...

Paper Cutz is having a challenge to make a get well card with something that flies.  Since I only own a few Cricut cartridges, I had the option of a butterfly, dragonfly, or this flying dog.  The dog gave me an instant chuckle, and I knew my aunt that is battling cancer would also find humor this card.  I used cloud printed paper as the background.  Then I cut out the dog and clouds from the Paper Pups Cricut cartridge.  The clouds were embossed with the Fiskars filagree texture plate and the dog was raised with pop dots to give the illusion that it was flying.  The card was finished with a thinking of you stamp from Stampendous.  The inside reads, "Flying Dogs?  I know it made you smile!  Wishing you a restful day with happy dreams."

Yummy Cupcake!

I purchased some confetti paper a few months ago with the intention of making a cupcake with it.  The challenge at My Creative Time was exactly what I needed -  make a card with food.  Perhaps it was a good thing that I let my ideas brew for a few months because I love how this card turned out!  I made the cupcake from the Doodlecharms Cricut cartridge, but I cut off the candle and added a purple brad as the "cherry" on top.  The bottom of the cupcake has vertical lines embossed with my Scor-Buddy, and the background was embossed with the Fiskars filigree texture plate, which also fits Crafty Cardmakers and Made by Momo's challenges to emboss.  "Best wishes" was cut from the Alphalicious Cricut cartridge.       

Hello Card

I just made this hello card for my aunt that is battling cancer, and I am entering it in Momo's Tuesday Challenge to use embossing.  I hand embossed the paper with the carpet texture plate from Fiskars.  The letters are from the Simply Sweet Cricut cartridge using the shadow feature.  I was inspired by the sparkles in the ribbon, so I dressed the card up with glitter glue.
