BBTB2 Challenge=Use a Card Feature

My dear friend and fellow design team member Brenda has come up with a great challenge for us all this week.  The challenge is to use the card feature from any Cricut Cartridge.  I wanted to make a card with the new paper collection from Graphic 45 French Country. 

The card feature is from Art Philosophy page 65.  

The sunflower is from Stretch Your Imagination page 37 cut at 2 inches.  

The layers are pop dotted, embossed and inked.  I used a MS punch for the leaves.  

I cut this panel with the sunflowers to place in the window.  

I used the cut out center to form a pull tab under the panel for the sentiment and writing.  

I hope you will find a card feature and create a project to link up at BBTB2

We would love to have you join us for the challenge.  

BBTB2 Challenge Prize watermelon

This is the card I made for the BBTB2 challenge this week.  You were to make a project with the watermelon cut from Stretch Your Imagination.  I cut out the watermelon and added it to the wagon cut from Nate's ABC.  Then I used my Tim Holtz mini rosette maker to make a first prize ribbon for my watermelon.  The little snippets of ribbon were stapled with my mini stapler.  I had seen this done in magazines but never tried it before.  

Accordian Fold Card with SYI sunflowers

Happy Memorial Day weekend to everyone.

I have been crafting a lot the last few days but not able to post as they are things for  Blog Hops and Design Teams.  I did take time to do the 

 My Creative Time the challenge this week is to make a  project using green and yellow somewhere  and to  use an older cart.  I changed my mind several times and then  I made this card  and after much experimenting and  redoing parts I am pretty happy with it.  In one of my card books they had a 4 fold card but it was done with  a 12 inch piece of paper.  I didn't like the size so I cut a piece of  12 inch paper in  1/2 and then trimmed one inch of one side so it was 6 x 11 and two inches off the other piece so it was 6 x 10.  Then I scored and folded one inch on each and glued them together.  I folded each 10 inch side in 1/2 to give me 4 folds at 5 1/2 inch each.  I then started two inches up on one side and cut free hand up to top.  I covered the front and the back.  The caterpillar, sunflowers, pots, and leaves all come from Stretch My Imagination.   I pushed myself and used only green, yellow, golden yellow and  a little white.  I added stamps Always Forever Friends on each piece and then a place to write.
