Halloween card using Wild Card

Let me just say I love when a challenge leads me to a Cricut Cut that I have never used and I love love love it.  That was the case for the Mag Challenge Use Wild Card page 49 only.  For this challenge you can only use the Cricut cuts from that page.  I love the way this card is slanted.  I cut the card, the liner and the window frame from the page.  I added ribbon and used my MS spider web punch on the side and in the window.  Then I used Magic Thread and two plastic spiders I found in my Halloween box.  I blinged them out with some Stickles.  Paper is from this years DCWV Halloween stack.  

I am also entering this in the

Elephant Birthday Card for Challenges

Made this card today for several challenges and to increase my card stash.  Used Wild Card to make the Round shaped card for the Celebrate the Occasion challenge.  Then I used Birthday Bash to cut out the elephant for the Cricut Cardz Challenge which is to use a Jungle animal to make a kid card. Finally the cake is also from Birthday Bash and is for the More than Favors challenge which was to use a birthday cake.  The paper is cordinations cardstock and the pattern paper is  from the new DCWV Baby Girl Stack and was scraps from a layout I just finished.  I added pearls, google eyes, ribbon and three tiny buttons. 

 

Three cards done for challenges

Today I finished the 3 cards I was working on for a variety of challenges.  I used Wild Card and a Cuttlebug flower folder that cuts and embosses the individual petals.  I weaved through the holes in the flowers  and then covered inside with same cut.  I then tied a bow, stamped Thanks, and added rhinestones and a charm with a triangular paper clip I got at office supply store.  

Circle 360 challenge  Make a thank you card in a circle shape.

Die Cut Divas Follow the sketch 

Frosted Designs Recipe using ribbon or trim, rhinestones or pearls, and a charm 

My Creative Time  Use wild card and embossing

For this card I cut three popsicles from Simply Charmed and added Peachy Keen faces.  I used chalk on cheeks, mouth and edges. The little drips are little teardrop stones.  I did not have green so died a clear one with Alcohol Inks.  The stamp was one that said You're Sweet with a cupcake in the middle of the two words so I cut cupcake out and used some mini stamps to stamp so.  I also used the MS drippy goo punch for the dripping popscicle. 

Peachy Keen Use patterns and Peachy keen faces

Tacky Tuesday  Cool treat with word sweet

The last cards was also from Simply Charmed page 39.  There are two very cute flowers on this page that are great with Peachy Keen Stamps.  This card was made from scrap paper I have from a Celebration stack.  The smaller striped flower is the piece that punched out around face.  So I used it too.  Stamp for $1 bin at Michaels.  

MAG challenge Use only cuts from page 39 Simply Charmed.

Birthday card and envelope using Wild Card

This is a card I made today for two challenges.  The first was for More Than  Favors and was to make a project using Wild Card.  I had not pulled this cart out in along time and I really enjoyed getting it out and exploring this great cart again.   This is the card on the fifth row button 8.  I cut the card and envelop at 7 inches using double sided paper.  This cut was actually for a baby shower and had a  champagne bottle at the top which I did not like so I hid this cut and added a candle from Sweettreats and welded with my Gypsy.  I used several stamps and MS punches.  Then I added bling because you can never have too much bling.  I am also entering this card in the birthday card challenge at Birthday Sundaes.  This week you were to make a birthday card of any kind with words on the front.  This is a great challenge as you always need birthday cards in your stash.
