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!

Punch Art Cardinal

I've seen several cardinals made out of the XL 2 step bird punch from Stampin' Up. Wanted to give it a try......and since I had a sketch challenge and a color challenge of red/white/brown over on the Cricut boards, thought it would be a good opportunity. I made the cardinal from just the punch...layering to get the right colors. Used my new MS Branch punch around the page set.....used it on the middle square too. MS postage stamp punch to create the argyle diamonds in the background. Cuttlebugged with Swiss dots and pop dots...finished it off with Quickcutz sentiment....a gingham bow...and some blingy berries on the twig. This is for the get well challenge at My Sheri Crafts.....and don't forget the For the Birds challenge at Fantabulous Cricut too.

Bunches of Bees - Fantabulous Cricut #17

Yeah!!   I am now a member of the Fantabulous Cricut Design Team.   It's a fantastic site with lots of fun challenges, and I'm so excited about being a part of this talented group of ladies.

My first project for them is for this week's challenge #17 Creepy Crawlies.   You had to use a bug, the color orange, and as always at Fantabulous Cricut, your Cricut. 

I used the coneflowers from Walk in My Garden, layered and pop dotted....accent leaves from there as well.  Ran the centers and the orange flower throught the Cuttlebug with Swiss Dots.  Added some green floss for stems and bow.  The little bees are from Create a Critter, cut at 1" and 1 1/4", inked, and added just a little crystal glazing.  The sentiment is a Quickutz die, cut in my Cuttlebug.  Paper is Me and My Big Ideas and DCWV Flower Shower stack.  Ribbon trim was from my scrap bag.

Rest....Relax......Feel Better

Just a little get well card.   The image is an old freebie....and I colored it with pencils and gamsol.  Double matted it....and added a little sun made from Stretch Your Imagination and a button.  Sentiment is hand written.

Fall Get Well Card

I'm really starting to get into fall themed stuff, and I needed a get well card....so here is the result!  The paper is Recollections 8x8 Autumn stack which I think is going to be my favorite this season.  Love the distressed edges.  I used a sketch from Mojo Monday (more or less), the frame from Pooh and Friends, cut at 3" **lesson here......never cut that frame so small**....layered it with pop dots and backed it with some brown striped paper.   The oak leaf is from Doodlecharms, cut at 2".   Sentiment is hand lettered/doodled and tied it all together with some pieces of DCWV chipboard - Green Stack- which was wasting away in the closet- and a little grey bow.
