"You Are So Tweet!" Card

This week I made a card for the challenges over at the Krafty Girls blog and the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge blog. The challenge at Krafty Girls this week is "Birds of a Feather" Challenge #21 and the challenge at the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge blog is "Set the Scene" Challenge # 169. I combined these challenges and made this card:

I used light blue cardstock for the card base to look like the sky. The grass, tree, bird, and cloud were all cut from the Create a Critter 2 Cricut cartridge. The phrase "You are so Tweet!" was cut using the the Loop Dee Loo font from the Lyrical Letters Cricut cartridge. 

Supplies:

Light Blue Cardstock (Card Base)

Green Cardstock (Grass and Tree)

Brown Cardstock (Tree Trunk)

White Cardstock (Cloud)

Red Cardstock (Bird)

Black Cardstock (Bird)

Yellow Cardstock (Bird)
Create a Critter 2 Cricut Cartridge
Lyrical Letters Cricut Cartridge

Scotch Scrapbooker's Glue

Foam Squares

White Gelly Roll Pen

Measurements:

Card Base- 4 1/4 inches X 5 1/2 inches

Tree- 3 1/2 inches

Bird- 2 inches

Cloud- 2 inches

Phrase- 1 inch
Grass- 1 inch X 5 1/2 inches
(I welded the grass together to make it 5 1/2 inches.)

I hope that you like and can use this card idea.

Birthday Card for My Niece

Hi Crafters! So I have finished all the birthday cards for this week. The last card I had to make was for my niece that is turning one. My niece has a little stuff monkey that she takes everywhere and every time I see her or pictures of her she always has the monkey or is wearing an outfit with a monkey on it. Therefore I had to make her a card with a monkey and I found the monkey on the Create a Critter 2 Cricut Cartridge.

 Here is a picture of her birthday card:

And here is a picture of the inside:

I used pink and purple to girl it up and then added the number one to the monkey's hat and shirt. I also used some stitching to give the card a little more detail.

More Father's Day Cards for Challenges

Hi everyone! I am back with another idea for a Father's Day card for the dads that love technology. I did this card for the Krafty Girls challenge this week. The challenge was to find a Pinterest inspired paper craft and make it. This challenge was great for me because I am always looking for ideas on Pinterest. I also found a couple of other Father's Day card challenges on  Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog and Cuttin and Stampin that I will be entering this card into. On the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog, the challenge is to create a Father's Day card that you made with your Cricut. This card was made by just using Cricut Craftroom Basics. Therefore it is great for everyone whether they have lots of Cricut cartridges or just beginning their collection of cartridges like me. Then the Cuttin and Stampin challenge is to create a Father's Day card. I love challenges because they also help to inspire me. 

Here are the cards I was inspired to make:

I made a smaller one to look like an iPhone and a larger one to look like an iPad.

Supplies:

Black Cardstock

Patterned Paper from Colobok Paper Plus+ Fresh Linen

Red Cardstock (for the heart)

White Cardstock (for the idad)

White Gelly Roll pen (to draw the square on the button)

Corner Rounder

If you like this card idea and would like to know how I made the card and the measurements you can watch the video below:
