The snowflakes are cut from When It's Cold Outside Cartridges. The Light Pearl Blue snowflake is from Coredinations Gemstones collection. It was cut at 5". The Silver background is also from the Coredinations Gemstones collection. The large white snowflake was cut at 5 1/2". before I assembled them I smeared stickles on the white cardstock snowflake to make it sparkle. The dark blue background is from the Recollections cardstock. I ran it though the Cuttlebug with the Snowflake flurries folder three different times to make the snowflakes over lap. The image is colored with Bic pens and watercolor pencils. For the silver bow and shoes I used the Sakura gel pen. Added sparkles to her eyes and a drop of stickles to the middle of the flower.

Cuttlebug Challenge #102

This week's challenge is sponsored by Whoopsie Daisy ! We are challenged to make a cared with 1 bow and 2 buttons.  I choose this adorable little witch.  With Halloween around the corner she's trying to learn how to spook.  I don't thinks she's going to make it, since she's Too Cute To Spook.  The card is made with black cardstock.  I colored my little witch with Bic markers and highlight the silver with a Sukura Gel Pen.  I cut the moon out with the George cartridge and Cuttlebuged it with the Swirl folder.  Haded a orange gross-grain ribbon and two little orange buttons.  Tied with green embroidery thread.  Make sure you come on over and join us in the fun at Cuttlebug Challenge

I just knew I had to make it. I took a cork board that I got for $1.00 and went about to decorate it. The edging is done with an EK Sucess Birthday Candle punch which is then lined with ribbon. The months are cut out using Designer Calendar Cricut cartridge. The cute little calendar is from Home Helps, that I got with the membership from PC Crafters.

Happy Birthday

For my Card I used the Happy Birthday phrase from Celebrate with Flourish. It is one of the Walmart Cricut Lite carts. The background confetti is made from my favorite editing programs. I just printed it out and cut to size. My cute little cupcakes are from My Grafico . I colored them with colored pencils.

Happy Birthday

For this card I used velumn that I Cuttlebug with the Happy Birthday folder and cut the cake with the Cricut.  Super easy!

Cuttin up! My Pink Stamper

I made my card for an amazing friend who always makes our swarms a delicious hit! The paper I used is from the Jewel collection. I made diagonal slits across the top and then weaved them together. The edging can be found on the Martha Stewarts Elegant Cake Art cartridge. I used the stamp from the family and friends collection I colored the little bear image with Bic Markers. It was really fun to use such a quality stamp that I could stamp it on fabric ribbon. I placed a piece of paper under the side I didn't want to print on both sides. To finish it off I added little flowers and rhinestones.
