Fifth Avenue Cards

I'm making card sets for some people for Christmas, so I have some random cards for you today. Last night, I got to try out my new SU set, Fifth Avenue. These first two were inspired by things I saw in the splitcoaststampers fifth avenue gallery...

This first one is just the rose stamp and a Fiskars "thinking of you" stamp in an A2 size.

This one uses the poppy stamp and they are cut out and put on dimensionals with pearl sitckers put on the middle. The paper is Core'dinations and the ribbon is JoAnn's. The "Thanks" stamp is also SU, but I can't remember the set name at the moment.

This last one was done with my Cricut- inspiration for this came from an Everyday Cricut post a few months back, but I changed the tags they were making into A2 sized cards. The doily cut is from Storybook and done with Core'dinations paper. The bow is hemp.

I am on the Cooking With Cricut Design Team!!

I am so excited to finally tell you all that I am now a part of the Cooking with Cricut Design Team!!!! If you haven't visited Cooking with Cricut before you should! There are beautiful page kits and fantastic digi stamps and cut files! And now there is even an amazing (if I do say so myself) design team to bring you inspiration and challenges every Wednesday.

Here is my first challenge project:

This week's theme was Love, in honor of The Sweetest Day on Saturday. I had never heard of this holiday before, so I did a little research and found its semi-similar to Valentine's Day. With that in mind, I made this card on my Cricut using Cupcake Wrappers and Storybook. The base card is the heart topper, both layers, from Cupcake Wrappers, cut at 10". The sentiment on pop dots and from Storybook, cut at 3". I added some pink Stickles to "wish" and the swish under it. Solid colored papers are DCVW and the patterned paper is Around the Block. To finish it off, I tied a little bow with some JoAnn's ribbon found in my stash.

I'm so excited!! Now, go visit CWC to see all the other amazing projects! As an incentive, Melin is giving away two digital stamps or cutting files to a follower who leaves a comment, and there is a wonderful prize for the winners of this week's challenge!

Happy Birthday #1

This card, once again, fits two challenges this week- one from Cuttlebug Challenge and one from Practical Scrappers. The Cuttlebug Challenge was in celebration of their 2nd birthday- Congrats!- and required a birthday card with 2+ layers and of course, cuttlebugged- this uses bloom dots. The Practical Scrappers Challenge this week is to use white/color core cardstock. The embossed paper is core'dinations, and is lightly sanded to show off the embossed pattern. The sentiment is on a tag cut from Storybook, the ribbon is JoAnn's and the buttons are from my stash- but I *think* that they are Favorite Findings. Its so hard to remember sometimes! Anyway, hope you like it!
