Thank You Beary Much

Hi everyone, I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and a safe Black Friday.

I wasn't brave enough to get yesterday so I worked on some projects instead.

This posting is a little belated, I made this card for some friends of ours because when I got out of the hospital they brought over a big meal for my family so we could all rest.  I know it took Angela a long time to prepare so I wanted to let her know how much I appreciated it.

I made this card using only one hand so I think it turned out pretty good.

Materials used: Cricut Cartridge - Wild Card

Make the Cut

The card is from the Wild Card cartridge found on page 33.  Cut the card and the Argyle frame using the icon button.

The bear is cut from Make the Cut with a pattern I made.  You have probably seen it on another card I made.

I chalked around all of the bear pieces and doodled his face.

Thanks for stopping by. 

Birthday Banner

Here is a banner I made for my daughters birthday.

Cartridges used:  Wild Card and Winter Woodlands

Wild Card:  The base and layer are found on page 60 and is cut at 4".

The 1st layer of the card is cut on design studio at W 7.998 H 2.72.

Winter Woodlands:  The scallop is found on page 38 and is also cut

on design studio at W 2.54 H 3.638.

The letters are cut at 2".

The top of the cards I cut a 1 1/2" stip of paper and used the Drippy Goo punch.

The circles are a 1" punch I added glitter and inked around all the edges.

Added eyelets and ribbon to hang the banner.

Thanks for looking.

With Sympathy Card

Ok I just had to make this card.

Credit for the idea goes to Jeannie over at http://www.aplaceformycards.blogspot.com/ and Bobby and Jill over at http://cricutcouple.blogspot.com/.  I loved their cards.  If you haven't seen their blogs you should check them out.  The are both wonderful and inspiring. 

I thought this would make a beautiful sympathy card. 

So here is my version of their cards.

Cartridges used: Create A Critter, Pooh and Friends, Speaking of Fall,

Storybook, Walk in my Garden and Wild Card.

The card base is 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" in a beige cardstock.

The maroon cardstock is cut at 5 1/2" x 4 1/4".

The flower paper is cut at 5 1/4" x 4".

The maroon and flower paper are from the Paper Studio Mirabelle paper stack.  This is a very beautiful and elegant stack.  I love the papers in it.

Create A Critter: I used this cartridge to cut the butterfly on the inside of this card.  It is found on page 64 and is cut at 1".

Pooh and Friends:  I used this cartridge to cut the butterfly on the front of the card.  It is found on page 24 and is also cut at 1".

Speaking of Fall:  All of the leaves are from this cartridge all cut at 2 1/8" found on pages 19, 20, and 36.

StoryBook:  I cut the frame 2 times in the maroon paper and 2 times in the beige paper.  They are all cut at 3 1/2" and are found on page 66.

Walk in my Garden:  The flowers are all cut at 1/2" and are found on page 30. 

Cut 15 for the front of the card and 6 more for the inside of the card.

Wild Card:  With Sympathy is cut at 6 3/8" and is found on page 32.

I inked around all of the edges and added Icicle Stickles to the butterflies and to the centers of all of the flowers.  Used a black gel pen to add detail to the center of all of the flowers and a green gel pen to add detail to all of the leaves.

Thanks for looking.  I would love to hear your comments.

Dragonfly Card

Here is a card I made using my Gypsy.

I used the card from Wild Card page 34 cut at 4.39(h).

The frame around the card is the card liner from page 34 cut at the same size as the card but I used a Martha Stewart doily lace punch on the edge and just cut a green strip of paper as a backing.

The dragonflies are from Gypsy Wanderings.  They are cut out at 1.61(h) and .91(h) also cut the blackout feature in green.  I don't think you can see it very well in the picture but the green paper is a pearlscent paper.

The scroll is cut from Home Decor at 3.44(w) by .95(h).

The girl is from A Child's Year page 41 cut at 2.58(h) this also has a green shadow.

Added some ribbon and little jewels.  The dragonflies have Icicle Stickles on them and the girl is covered with 3D Crystal Lacquer so she really pops out of the card.

The dragonflies and girl are popped out with dimensionals.

The Fishing Hole

Here is a card I made my Dad for his birthday.

Sorry, I guess I didn't save my project so I don't have all the measurements for you.

I used A Childs Year for the boy fishing and the fish.

The boy is cut at 2 1/2", not sure on the fish.

The word Dad is cut from Simply Sweet.

The card, frames and grass is cut from Wild Card.

The card was cut at 4 3/4".

Happy Birthday was cut from Hello Kitty Greetings.

Here is the inside of the card.

Resting Bird

I have had this Wild Card Cartridge for awhile now and never realized how many wonderful cards are in this cartridge.  I decided to print out a 2" card and envelope for each card and glued them to a piece of poster board and hung them on my wall.  After I did this, oh my goodness, I did not realize what I had been missing out on.  The ideas started pouring in my head like crazy.  I hope you enjoy this card.

Here is the inside of the card

I used my Gypsy for this card so all measurments are for that. 

This card is made from Wild Card and Home Decor cartridges. 

The envelope, card and liners are cut at 3.75" using Wild Card on page 32.

The flower branches, swirl and bird are from Home Decor.

Branches cut at 2.12" and 1.11"

Birds cut at 1.62" and 1.50"

Swirl cut at 1"

I chalked around the edges and added an some embelishments.

Butterfly Card

This card was made using the Cricut Wild Card and Walk in My Garden Cartridges.

The card is from Wild Card page 35.  Cut at 6 1/2" using design studio.  The envelope and frames were also cut at 6 1/2" to match.  The pink paper is from ki memories funky paper pad II and the yellow paper is from making memories english garden series.

Happy Birthday is cut at 4" from page 61 under the phrase key.

The butterflies are from Walk in My Garden page 115. Cut at 1", 1 1/4" and 1 5/8".  I used the flip feature for a couple of the butterflies. I added pop dots to the butterflies to make them stand out more.
