Easy Cricut Cards!

Here are a couple of easy cards I made with my Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge. First  I cut a shape from the Colonial White cardstock. I love the Sonoma papers so I put those to use before they retire next month! Smokey Plum is the accent color. I stamped around the cut out image using the script image from Universal Backgrounds. It gives a nice texture don't you think? The cut out layer is also popped with 3D Foam so there is a bit of a shadow on the layer beneath. The embellishment on the butterfly are a couple of Mocha Pearls. On the heart I outlined the shape with Bronze Glitz Glitter Gel. Click here to shop!

I made a set of these cards to give as a birthday gift for a friend. She loved them! I included envelopes with the script image stamped along the flap in back.

Thanks for stopping by. Happy Stamping!

Background Stamps

Not my usual style but I love it! I need to try this style more often.
This card uses 3 of the 4 images found in D1477 Universal Backgrounds. They are all very different but work well together. I've second generation stamped the music image in Grey Wool for the background. The script image is on the vertical piece with the dots in 1st generation Grey Wool. The screen image is on the small piece behind the circle and once again a 2nd generation in Grey Wool. The accent color is Pear and doesn't it give a nice pop of color to the overall look! This card is based on a card made by Vicki Wizniuk. Thanks for the inspiration, Vicki!

H2H Challenge and Mojo Monday--a double challenge!

This week I decided to play in both the H2H Challenge and the 

Mojo Monday sketch challenges. 

This week the H2H Challenge was to use 3 specific colors: 

I love this color combo and couldn't wait to get started! 

This is a 6" x 6" side fold card.

Stamps sets I used are:

Flower Pot--flowers and message

Universal Backgrounds--on paper flower

Spring Up--center of paper flower
The Background & Texture paper is from the Hooligans Kit.

 The paper flowers are from the Just Blooms Spring Blossom collection. OH...check out the scalloped border at the top! That is one of our Kraft Color-Ready Borders! I sponged black ink on it and voila! It's self adhesive so it's easy to add to your projects! Finally, I added some Licorice Opaques as accents.
