BBTB2 Cricut Create a Critter card

Hey All!

First order of business is to remind you all to stop by tomorrow for my very first blog hop! The details are at the under my header so swing by for a chance to win some prizes!

Today I have a simple little card for this week's challenge over at the BBTB2 blog to use balloons for a birthday card. I used the Create A Critter cartridge to make a quick and easy birthday card perfect for any kid in your life.

 

I used the teddy bear image although I didn't use the layers as they were meant to be cut, I used the "hide contour" feature in CCR to create my own spin on the layers. I think it turned out cute! I also added some Diamond Glaze and twine on the balloon to make it a bit more interesting. 

Project Ingredients

• Cricut Cartridges used: Create a Critter (bear, balloon), Lacy Labels (background shape), Sweethearts (tag)
• Patterned paper: Wood Grain (jessicasprague.com), Echo park Graceful digital collection (balloon)
• Ribbon: Midori dupioni
• Twine: house of 3 (Soiree collection)
• other: cuttlebug dots folder

Hey All!

Today I've got a simple card I made using the Cricut Imagine. I love how the Imagine makes matching colors and cutting layered images so quick and easy. I just filled the layers of the Art Nouveau cartidge using CCR, printed and cut it out and then touched it up with copics and added some glitter and dimensional adhesive.

One of my favorite types of ribbon is actually ribbon yarn. I bought a little skein at a boutique ribbon shop but I think Lyon carries basically the same thing in different colors. It wrinkles beautifully and the variegated colors are rich and lustrous.


To get the details in the leaves, just draw in veins using an embossing stylus over a rubber mat. I love how these flowers turn out. I embossed the background using a cuttlebug folder and the lined tag is from Imagine More Cards. The stamp I believe is Fiskars, from a wedding stamp set.

Ingredients:

• Cricut Cartridges used: Art Nouveau, Imagine More Cards
• Cardstock:
  
• ribbon: ribbon yarn
