23-Sweet Sassy Diva Invitation Challenge - Two Gender Reveal Invites

This week the challenge at Sweet Sassy Diva is to make an invitation.  I actually was asked to make a couple invites for my oldest daughter and son in law as they just recently found out  they are expecting their second child.  They were thinking it would be fun to do a gender reveal party so I made two different invites for them to choose from.  If you don't know what this is let me explain. You invite your family and friends to a party to reveal whether you are having a boy or girl.  Usually by cutting into a cake that is either blue or pink.  That way you share the joy of finding out the gender together.  

For the first card I used my Imagine and Baby Boutique.  

I embossed the white background with a Sizzix love folder.  

The prince and princess medallion were cut at 3 inches and pop dotted.  

I then found black and white paper and black with white polka dot ribbon in my stash.  

This is a mock up of the inside.  

The second card is made with my Imagine and the Nursery Tails cart.  

I cut the house page at 7.7 with my Gypsy to fit on my card.  

It was too wide and I didn't want to distort the picture so cut the sides to use and threw away the center piece.  I cut the girl and boy medallions at 2.5 at the same time. 

Here is the front of the card.   You can see piece that was cut out of center 

I also added a dress, oneside, and bibs at 2 inches to the inside flaps.  

The medallions are popdotted so they can be removed.  

I added some tiny blue and pink safety pins.  For this one they are asked to wear the medallion to vote for whether they think it is a boy or a girl.  

Hope you enjoyed my cards and ideas.  I can't wait to see what the rest of the DT makes this week for the Invitation Challenge.  

Precious Baby card with Nursery Tails

I had on my list to make a card for  The Paper Variety challenge today using Create a Critter.  I even planned it out on my Gypsy.  Then this morning I saw the new 

 Cricut Circle Challenge for  today which was to use your Imagine to print paper and to layer cuts.  Right away I thought about Nursery Tails and the cute little critters on there.  So I decided to do the two challenges together.   I printed the mushroom paper to match the  mushrooms on the skunk and deer cuts.  I layered all the cuts and pop dotted them.  I made the card 5 x 7 and punched it with an MS punch around the page.  I added ruffly ribbon and pearls.  I stamped the Precious sentiment and added some little tiny clothes pins.  I love the soft colors soft colors of Nursery Tails.  

A great day for cards!

Yesterday was a non craft day since all three of my granddaughters were here visiting.  So today I was busy busy doing some of the challenges I had planned.  The first two I did with my Imagine. 

This card was done with the Imagine Nursery Tails cartridge.  I also used the Baby Words embossing folder.  I layered the top cuts and pop dotted them.   

I am entering this card in the Cricut 360 challenge- 

which was to use pastel colors, embossing and make a baby card.

This card was done with the Imagine More Cards cartridge.  I printed and cut the same parts twice.  

On the front I layered all the pieces and then deleted the words some of the words.  I pop dotted all the pieces and added black gems for owl eyes.  I then stamped the center to say whoo whoo and added 4  you  to front. I colored the stamped image with Prismacolor pencils to match the colors in the paper.  

On the inside I used the cut as it was printed without layers.   

This card is for the Tacky Tuesday challenge which is to use an owl and the word whoo.

This card is Damask Decor which I love.  I thought it was perfect for a monochromatic card.  This card and front cut is from page 33.  It is cut at 4 inches and then the inside is cut at 3.65 inches.  The ribbon was in my stash.  I then added gems.  

This card is for the Cricut Circle Blog challenge for Tuesday which is to make a monochromatic card and 2 Cricut cuts.

For the Halloween card I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder with black ink on the folder. I cut the extra row of embossing I didn't need on the front and used it on the inside.  I added purple and orange twine.  I cut the monster from Mini Monsters and added some fun eyes I got at Michaels.  The stamp was from the $1 section last year.  

Halloween card for Paper Playtime challenge using black, orange and purple and My Craft Spot challenge to make a Halloween card.

For this card I used the Create a Critter frog.  The papers were from the DCWV Lemon Stack and the Green Tea Stack.  I cut out the phrase Shop till you drop from Paisley and then cut off the S so it says Shop till you Drop.  The Its your birthday on the inside came from Just a Note (on E2).  

This card is for the BBTB2 challenge which is to use the frog from page 24 of Create a Critter.  The frog is cut from the DCWV Lemon Stack and Green Tea stack.  The phrase Shop till  you drop came from Paisley.  I then cut off the s so it said hop till you drop.  It's your Birthday on the inside came from Just a Note (on the E2).  

Thanks so much for looking and for your comments.  Happy craftin!
