Sweet Little "Bird-Day" Card

The sweet little bird on Stretch Your Imagination is one of my favorite Cricut cuts - in fact, it's about all I ever use SYI for. This one is combined with some George Circles, a Plantin Schoolbook flower, and some great DCWV paper (Spring Stack 2009) Rub-on sentiment, buttons and floss, doodling with a white Jelly Roll pen, and great trim that came from JoAnn's $1 bin finish it up.

This is for Paper Cutz Challenge - Anything Goes!

Funky Coral Floral Birthday

Needing a bunch of birthday cards this week.....and no inspiration! But RAQ's challenge on the Cricut board to the rescue.....great sketches this week. Chose one of them and paper from my scrap pile (go me!!!) and here's the result. All paper and cardstock is DCWV (Spring 2009 collection)...added somed bling, buttons, floss, and embossing with a new Sizzix folder (which I really like....and must try again in a bigger version.) Sentiment is a rub-on.....Cricut cuts are George (circles) and Plantin Schoolbook (flower) Fits right into Cricut Cardz Challenge this week: Anything Goes!

Happy Birthday Dad!

My dad's birthday is on Mother's Day...so that means I've got to get busy on the card making!!!  There was a great sketch on the RAQ challenge on the Cricut board last week....I knew it would be perfect for Dad's card.    But what to put on it......  PolkaDoodle to the rescue.   Their challenge this week is monochromatic.   When I started searching through paper, I found a great monochromatic red argyle and it was all the inspiration I needed.  The car (my dad LOVES cars) is from Every Day Paper Dolls, cut at 1 1/4", added some silver metallic foil for windows and silver dew drops.  The stamp is from Hero Arts (a $1 set at Big Lots) and DAD is from Plantin Schoolbook.  Used the argyle embossing folder for texture.
