BBTB2 Challenge- Mother's Day

Hi everyone.  I am excited to be back in the crafting grove and creating with the BBTB2 Design Team. This last month has been crazy and I had to step back a little.  Watching a 2 year old and a 6 month old  Monday through Friday really keeps me busy.  But I so love my creating with paper.   

  This week Susan has asked us to create a project for Mother's Day.  

I decided to create a card for one of my daughters using Floral Embellished.  

I love the cuts on this cart and choose this butterfly.  I used the silhouette cut.  The background is embossed with a Cuttlebug folder and then I added ribbon and gems. 

The inside is from the Mother's Day cartridge. 

I hope you will join us this week for the Mothers Day Challenge at BBTB2.  Don't forget you must use a 

Cricut Cut and please mention it and BBTB2 in your post.    Then  link it up at BBTB2 so we can see your wonderful creations.  

Florals Embellished Cartridge Showcase

Hello everyone.  This is Suzanne from Cricutcraftingrammyblogspot.  I am really excited to share my first cartridge showcase with you today.  I selected Floral Embellished as it is a wonderful cart for Mother's Day.  I first saw this cartridge when it was introduced at a Cricut Circle event.  At the event they showed us a binder with every single cut and I fell in love with it.  On the cart you will find medallions, birds and butterflies in beautiful colorful layers and silhouettes.  There are also an abundance of phrases about moms, grandmas, etc. 

When preparing my showcase I realized I had used Floral Embellished for cards but never a layout yet.  

So this is what I created using pictures of my granddaughter Kenzie kissing the ultrasound picture of her new brother or sister.  

The flower was cut from page 59 cut at 4 inches 

The xoxo is from page 59 cut at 2 inches 

Bunches of love is from page 29 cut at 2 1/2 inches 

The circle is from page 60 at 11 inches.

I chalked the edges and then added flowers and bling.

(I realized while looking at the pictures I have lost a flower in the center of the large pink flower. I have already sent the LO to my daughters so will have to fix it later. )

I also wanted to show you the silhouette feature.  This was cut from page 59 at 4 inches.

I added gems, MS corner punch and ribbon

Flying Bird Easel card using Floral Embellished for BBTB2 chllenge

Here is another Easel card I made using Mary at Cardztv's video.   I  love making these.  I also wanted to enter the BBTB2 challenge this week which was to use the Floral Embellishment cart and a flying bird or a bird or a flying bird from another cart.  I love FE but had not tried a bird yet.  I also wanted to try one of the  designs in patterned paper.  I used Lemon Flowers from DCVW.  I  am really not a yellow person but thought this stack was very pretty.  I cut the bird at 3 inches. I wanted it to hang over the edge to stimulate flight.  The With Love is pop dotted to hold the front of card in place.  Added bling to deck it out and some yellow ribbon.  This card lays down to A2 size.  

Two Floral Embellished Mother's Day cards for BBTB2 challenge

This is my card for the BBTB2 challenge this week.  The challenge was to make a Mother's Day card with the 2010 Mother's Day Cart or another cart.  I do not have the MD 2010 so used Florals Embellished which has a ton of phrases for Mothers, Grandmas, etc. I love this cartridge a lot.   Since my mom passed several years ago I made cards for my DD's.  The first is for my oldest daughter who became a mom in November. She loves blues and purples.

The second card is for my youngest daughter who has a 15 month old and is expecting her second girl in July. She loves pink which I guess is a real good thing since they will have two girls.    

CC Weekly Challenge Card- Just Because with Floral Embellishments

Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge #26: Just Because Challenge!

 Create a layout featuring an everyday topic or create a “Just Because” card.

I decided to make a card from Floral Embellishments. First I did the bird and then from pieces left I also did a butterfly.  This cart has beautiful phrases including Mother's Day.  I love the bright colors of the DCVW  8 x 8 stack as they are perfect for this cart.  Also the pieces are easy to layer.  Added bling and now I have two cards ready to go when I need them. 

 

The first card of the dove is my entry into the challenge.  

Then I made another one of a butterfly.  

This is the insides of the two cards.
