Card Day Tuesday-- Valentine Card

Today's theme at My Cricut Craft Room is Valentine's.

I made a 5.75 x 5.75 inch card using American Crafts cardstock as my base and as my green mat on the pattern paper.  The pattern paper is gorgeous.  I've always loved this Love paper.  My image is from Some Odd Girl's January clear stamp set release.  I used copic markers to color her.

My heart border came from Lyrical Letters and I cut it at 2.54 inches (I used my gypsy to get the correct sizing.).  I added the white dashes around every other heart with a white gel pen.  I used my sewing machine to stitch around the entire card.

Have an awesome day!

My Cricut Craft Room- Letter E

It's Letter "E" day at My Cricut Craft Room. Our projects need to start with an "E" in some form.

My project is an "E"lf card!

I'm LOVING my Elf card!  It's the first time I've made this little guy and I adore him.  He is from the Jolly Holidays Cricut Cartridge.  I used my gypsy to design this card.  The Elf is cut at 4.5 inches.  I hid the face contours and used Peachy Keen Wide Eyed Kid faces for the face.  I colored in the white of his eyes with a gel pen.  I also used my copic E00 skin white marker to color in his face and hands.  My card is 6x6 in size.  I used a border punch along the bottom of my strip of green pattern paper.  The sentiment is from Some Odd Girl Christmas stamp set.

Have an awesome day!

Winter/Snow Day at Crafty Contagion

It's the 4th Saturday of the month!  At Crafty Contagion, that means a new challenge to take part in.  Today's challenge theme is Winter/Snow.

My card is 6x6.  The image is from Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps.  My snowflakes were cut from the Christmas Cricut Cartridge (I believe it was the freebie that came with registering your gypsy).  I did ink a few of my snowflakes to make them pop up off the page a bit more.

Be sure to link your winter/snow cards at the Crafty Contagion blog.

Have an awesome weekend!

Flutter By Wednesday Challenge #187

Happy Friday!!  Yippee!  I'm so looking forward to the weekend.  Hope I can get in some serious crafting time.

Here's my entry for this week's Flutter By Wednesday Challenge.  Sometimes when you design a card in your head it works out better than planned, sometimes it doesn't go as planned.  This one didn't go as planned.  I love this butterfly set by Fiskars, but looking at the card now it seems like the black ink is too bold.

Thanks for looking and have an awesome weekend!

Theme Day Thursday--Birthday

It's Theme Day Thursday at My Cricut Craft Room and today's theme is Birthday.

I made a very simple, but extremely fun birthday card!

The size of the card is 5.5 by 2 3/4....actually very small.  I used Sweet Treats Cricut Cartridge and designed the entire card on my gypsy.  The card base was cut at 2.65 inches.  The "ready, set, blow" is cut at 2.3 inches.  I used Scribbles 3D Paint- Glittering Crystals on the candle to make it stand out.

I'm going to make some more of these little guys, but I think I'll add some pattern paper to spruce it up more.

Have an awesome day.

WYEGW- Birthday Card

It's Wednesday and you know what that means!  It's "Would you ever guess Wednesday" at My Cricut Craft Room.

I made a 6x6 birthday card.

I used the Simply Sweet Cricut Cartridge.  I used the "stitched circle" function and cut it at 4 inches.  I used the same cartridge and feature for the birthday present circle.  That was cut at 1.5 inches.  I used my white gel pen to stitch around the present circle as well as the write "Happy--Happy--" all around the circle.  I cut my pattern paper into 1.5 inch squares, cut them down the center and adhered them to the corners of my card.  I also used my gel pen to stitch around the triangles.

Have an awesome day!

My Cricut Craft Room- Letter D

Today is letter "D" day at My Cricut Craft Room!  Any project, any cartridge....just as long as something starts with a Letter "D".

I used "D"oodlecharms Cricut cartridge to make this Birthday Card.  

The card size is A2.  I cut the party hat from Doodlecharms Cricut cartridge at 3.5 inches.  I also used the shadow feature.  The tassel at the top of the hat is popped up with foam tape.  The sentiment is from a Unity Stamp set.

This card will be going to Operation Write Home.

Have an awesome day!
