A Fantabulous Get Well!

Happy Monday everyone....and you know that means a great new challenge at Fantabulous Cricut. This week the theme is Achoo!!! So let's get busy making some get well cards.

I chose to make a z fold card for my example. I love how it comes out when you make it out of two patterns of cardstock and sandwich a punched border between.

I used Cosmo Cricket double sided paper, a Martha Stewart punch, Stampin' up XL Two-step Bird punch, and some nested scalloped ovals that I cut with Storybook. Added a green stamped sentiment and lots of gold ink to back the borders stand out. Hop over to Fantabulous Cricut and join in the fun!

For the Birds!

That's the theme this week at Fantabulous Cricut. Use those cute little bird images, and fly on over and join in the fun! For my card this week, I used the sweet little bird from Stretch Your Imagination. Lots of layered ribbon, laces, and MS border punch. Added flowers from my **extra** bin with some rhinestones and topped it off with a Quickcutz sentiment.

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!

Hey Chickie!

Just a cute little thinking of you card for Practical Scrappers Challenge this week.   The little bird from Stretch Your Imagination is always going to be one of my favorite cuts.  I used some great vellum plaid paper on this card along with felt flowers, ribbon, and buttons.

Tweet Anniversary Card - Totally Papercrafts #5 and Pink Elephant #56

I just got Sweethearts, basically for this sweet little bird cut.   I've seen the cutest cards made from it and had to have it.   Then I saw the great sketch at Totally Papercrafts, and knew it was just the one for these little cuties.  And the challenge at Pink Elephant is Go Green - my favorite color.  I loved the great aqua/lime K & co paper for the background.

I cut the bird's nest at 3"...added layers....embossed the nest...and stuck it in a double layer circle - embossed.     Added some George flowers and a tourquoise bow.  Now I have an anniversary card to send to my aunt and uncle next week.
