Cooking with Cricut Apples or Honey Challenge

  

 

It's time for another great challenge at Cooking with Cricut.  This week the challenge is apples and honey.  For my project I made a layout using Melin's file from Paper Crafting World Bear with Cider Mill.  I also used the Just Because Cricut Cart for the Apple of my eye title page 46 cut at 3 inches.

Here is the closeup so you can see the embossing, the white gel pen details, and glossy accents.  

Here is the page to go with it.  

I hope you will check out all the DT members projects for the challenge.  Then join us for the challenge and link your project up to CWC. We would love to see what you create for the Apples or Honey challenge.

Sweet Sassy Diva Design Team project- Layout sketch

I am keeping with the Spring Blooms theme from last weeks DT challenge for Sweet Sassy Diva.   I made a Spring layout of my youngest granddaughter.   I had this wonderful stack of flowered paper from K and Company from last year.  

I used the daisy and striped page.  I also cut and used the page with the large  butterfly and daisies for the bottom corner.  I used a flower punch for border strips and added MS flower border trim from my stash.

I used my Gypsy to search the word bloom for the title. I used this cut from Just Because.  There were several different ones but I choose the cursive flowy one instead of block letters.  

I then doodled on the letters to make them pop with a Sharpie.  

I think sketches are a lot of fun and can't wait to see what the other Designers create with the sketch this week.  Hope you enjoyed the post and Happy Craftin.

Playtime Layout using DCWV Playtime stack

I had so much fun making this layout today for some pics of my oldest granddaughter at the playground.  I laid it out on my Gypsy last night so it was ready to cut today.  I finally broke out my DCWV stack "The Playtime Stack". to use. If you haven't seen this stack at Michaels it is printed on card stock paper.  The pieces I used had a nice glittering sheen.  I cut a cloud piece in 1/2 for the top and  and a striped piece for the bottom and then gently curved it to make ground.  There is a list of cuts below the pictures.  After cutting all the pieces I embossed the tree and clouds with Cuttlebug folder Divine Swirls.  I used chalk and smooch ink to accent cuts.  I used glossy accents on the eyes.

Easter Chick card for BBTB2 Challenge-Chillin with my Peeps

Today I made this card for the BBTB2 Challenge this week.  We were to use the chicken from the Easter cart or another chicken.  I used the chick from Just Because as it looks more like marshmellow peeps to me.    The title Chillin with my Peeps is from Straight from the Nest.  The Happy Easter on the inside is from the Easter 2010 Seasonal Cart.  The papers I used are from Flower Power DCWV stack.  The card size is 4 x 9 which will fit in a business envelope and folded unevenly with a 1/2 inch edge on bottom.  That way the ribbon on inside edge shows on front also.  I cut grass with MS punch, added Stickles, feathers, and buttons for eyes.
