      For today's post I am going to be showing you a super cute fall card I made. I will be submitting this over at My Craft spot for the "Falling Leaves Challenge". I used my Imagine to make this card, the Image came from the, Good Old Days cartridge. Well without further ado, here it is.

Elegant Edges Cricut Cartridge
My Craft Spot Stamp Set
Grey Bakers Twine

Enjoy The Ride, End Of Summer

Hello Card Lovers,
     One thing I always Enjoy doing in the summer is going on a bike ride, but not just any bike ride. Recently my husband and I just sold are Yamaha R6  motorcycle. This was are little get away, we would just hop on and without a plan in mind, just go. We were able to enjoy it a couple times this summer before we sold it, it's kinda hard to just get up and go when you have a 15 month old.
     I bought the bike for my Hubby 2 years ago for our anniversary, I know it broke his heart getting rid of it.We decided once Jayden was a little bit older, we are going to get a cruiser, this will make for a much more comfortable ride !!
     Well on with my card, I decided to use this cute little vespa scooter on my card. I thought this fit the bill perfectly, and because I didn't have a Cartridge with a motorcycle on it !!
   Materials Used
Best Friends Cricut Imagine Cartridge
Flower Shoppe Cricut Cartridge
DCWV Cardstock
CTMH Stamp
Ribbon From Stash
Button from Stash
Bakers Twine
Stickles
Clear Rhinestone
3D Foam Squares
  ATG Adhesive
   Fiskars Corner Punch

My Card measures 5x5, I used just white cardstock to make the base of my card and then layered some Yellow DCWV paper on top of it. The blue gingham paper was printed using the same cartridge. I cut the scooter and  4" and I cut it out twice, so I could do all the layering. I hope you can all see by the 2nd photo all the dimension this card has.
 I hope you all enjoyed my card !!!
Thanks for stopping by and Happy Scrapping"

Trick Or Treat

Hello Card Lovers,
     I just got done making, yet another Halloween card, I told you all it was my favorite holiday. I totally planned on making more than one card tonight but my crafting OCD kicked in and I got a little obssed with this one. I definitely think it worked out in my favor though, I just love this card. I will post at the bottom what challenges I will be entering this card into. Well on with the card....

Inside

Materials Used
Happy Haunting's Cricut Cartridge
DCWV Bewitched Paperstack
Studio G Stamps & Rhinestone's
Ribbon From Stash
Buttons From Stash
Bakers Twine
Cuttle bug Embossing Folder
3D Foam Squares
Sewing Machine
ATG Adhesive

     Do you all see what I meant when I said I got a little obsessed. I think it turned out great though, what do you all think ? I did a lot of matting and there's a whole lot of popping going on.
My card is: 5.25"x4.75"
Black mat: 5"x4.5
Purple mat: 4.75"x4.25"
Green mat: 4.5"4"
     I  just winged it on the matting for the sentiment. I only used one cartridge for this entire card and that was Happy Haunting's. listed below are all the dimension's of the cuts.
Skeleton: 4"
Grave: 3.75"
Cat: 2"
Bat: 1.5"
     I did the same measurements for the matting on the inside of the card. I slightly embellish the inside of my cards and then leave enough space for a personalized measure. I like to write long little messages, so I always like to make sure there is plenty of room.
     I will be entering this into the Terrific Tuesday Challenge over at Scrappy Mom's Blog (Halloween) and The Cardz T.V. Challenge Blog (Bling It Up).
     Well I hope you all enjoyed my Halloween card for the night and hope everyone gets a lot of rest and enjoys there Friday !!!
Thanks & Happy Scrappin"

Happy Haunting

Hello Card Lovers,
     I am here with one more quick post for the night, It's 1:00am and this momma is ready for bed !! I made this not so spooky Halloween card for the challenge over at Cardz T.V. blog. The challenge was this...
Challenge#116: “Creature Feature"
Make a card for Halloween using the card feature from any cartridge, and using any colors you’d like.

Hear is what I came up with......
Materials Used
Mini Moster Cricut Cartridge
DCWV Bewitched Cardstock Stack
My Pink Stamper Stamps
Candy Corn Embossing Folder
Googly Eyes
Buttons from Stash

    This was cut at 5", I used the very first image in the cartridge handbook and used the card feature. I think this not so scary monster card turned out pretty good. I love the bright fun colors, and just to think these all came from a Halloween paper stack.
     If you would like more details on this card feel free to ask, Sorry but I have to get some shut eye.

Hello Card Lovers,
     I am here with a shape card to show you that I made using my gypsy. I will be entering this into the current challenge going on over at Peachy Keen, PKS Challenge 35 :: Just Cards :: Teacher.
     I got my new set of Peachy Keen, The Cornies, in the mail today and I knew I had to use them. Here is what I came up with, I hope you all like it .
Materials Used

     I am not going to go into full detail on how I made this card because its almost 1:00am and I have to be up in 5 hours. I used my gypsy to weld two of the crayon boxes together they measure at 5.5" along with all the layers. I went ahead and doodled faux stitch marks around most elements on the card, to make them stand out more.
     I just love how this card turned out!! I will gladly give out more details on the card if you just let me know, what you would like to know. I hope you all enjoy and thanks for stopping by.

You're Wicked Cool

Hello Card Lovers ,
   I hope everyone's night is going great. I have been in my craft room, for most of the night making this card for the Fun Friday challenge over at Little Scrap Pieces. The challenge was "Action", we had to make a card that had pretty much a moving element to it.
    This is the first time ever that I have made a card like this. I decided to make a Swing Card, these is a pretty ornate card, it's easy to make but of course when it comes to decorating I take forever. My husband said he is pretty sure I have OCD because I have to make sure everything is perfect.
     Well I hope everyone enjoys my card, I just love, love how it turned out. I think this card will be going to my Momma and Poppa for Halloween. Yeah, that's right I am 25 years old and I am a huge Momma and Poppa Girl, it comes with being the baby of the family :) Love you Mom and Dad!!!

Materials Used
Mini Monsters Cricut Cartridge
My Pink Stamper (Spook-alicious) Stamp Set
DCWV Bewitched Paperstack
Prima PaperFlowers
Bakers Twine
Black & Purple Rhinestones
Button From Stash
Googly Eyes
ATG Adhesive
3D Foam Squares
 
     My Card base was cut at 7"x 5". If you want directions on how to make this comment or email me and I can give you all the details. As you can see I did a lot of matting and there are a lot of different measurement's. My Witch was cut at 3" along with all her layers, except her eyes, cause I knew I wanted to use googly eyes.
     I hope you all can tell by the pictures why this is called a swing card. When you pull on he right side of the card the part in the middle that the witch is on swings around to show the other side. Like I said I just love how this card turned out and I hope my parents will like it to.
     Thank you all for stopping by and have a fa-boo-lous night!!!
Happy Scrapping
