Hi Everyone!
I owe you all a HUGE apology for not keeping up with this blog. I haven't written since August! Ugh!! First it was vacation, then the camera broke, etc.,etc. Hopefully I'm back on track and it's time to catch up.
I've continued making cards and I have a several to share with you. I'll do two per post. Because I made them over several months, I'm not sure I can tell you where the papers came from but I do know the Cricut cuts. Many of the cards I've made use my scraps, a good thing.
This card was fun because I've had the sunflower paper for YEARS. It was a single sheet. There's a black mat, a brown mat, and a printed bottom mat all on a white card. The bee was cut at 2 inches and is in the Birthday Bash cartridge on page 46. The pail and wings are from scraps of silver glitter paper. The first cut was the yellow and the black was the shift. Except for the mats, all paper was scrap paper.
The next card was also fun. I was on vacation at the shore and I went into a "catch-all" store. They had a few jars of star fish, each jar with a different size. I just had to have these little star fish and came home to figure out how to use them.
The card stock is ivory colored card stock cut 11x4.5 and scored to fold with the back side at 6 inches and the front at 5 inches. On the front I cut a mat from K&C Company's Designer Mat Pat. I used Create a Critter for the 2.5 inch sea horse using Green scraps for the first cut, yellow scraps for layer 2, almond color scrap of layer 3, and a chocolate brown scrap for the shadow cut. I used lime green for a cut with the accessories for the second layer of grass. On page 44 I used the Accessory and shift to cut the tall grass in a darker green scrap. I used a fancy sissor to cut the right edge of the front of the card and used a dark green marker to color the edge.I had a piece of cork paper that I cut for a mat as well a to represent the bobbers on the fishing net. The fishing net is really the soccer net on page 52 of Every Day Paper Dolls. I cut the sides off the net and repositioned them to create folds. And finally the inside sentiment is below.
That's it for today. Hope you all have a great time creating. Hope you get inspired!
Love,
Linda :)
