Go Wild...

Hello,
My little sister's birthday is today and I wanted to show you the card I made for her.  She's not as in love with the animal print as I am but I came up with this idea and just couldn't pass it up.  Plus I made it using her favorite color purple so I'm sure she'll love it.

 I cut the zebra from Create a Critter at 3".  The "Go Wild" phrase is also from Create a Critter and was cut at 1.5"  The card I made is a standard A2 size card.  I used a black base and the animal print paper is from Michael's.  The pack that you can buy comes with pink zebra print, blue zebra print, traditional white and black zebra print, green leopard print and purple leopard print.  The nice thing about this paper is that it is a solid color on the back and it matches.  No need to find a matching purple.
The first layer of the card is cut at 4 x 5.25".  The next layer was cut at 3.75 x 5" and I used my Cuttlebug to emboss it with the leopard print folder from the Animal Print embossing folders pack.  The black paper is cut at 1.75 x 3.75".  I used the black to help my "Go Wild" phrase stand out better.  It turned out to be a very cute card.

 On the inside I used the back of the animal print paper as a mat for my writing.  I also added a detail of the animal print paper at the bottom (1.75 x 3.75").  I stamped "It's Your Birthday!" using some individual letter stamps.

I was all about the animal print with this card.  I even made an animal print liner for the envelope.
I hope you enjoyed this card.
Have a Magical Day :)

Animal Print Monogram Cards

Hello,
These cards are for Bitten by the Bug 2's Any Cartridge Mongram Challenge.  For this challenge you are allowed to use any cartridge to make a monogram card.  I decided to use some fun animal print paper that I got from Michael's.  I also used black satin ribbon and jewels from my stash.  Enjoy the pictures :)

 To make my monogram I used Font 3 on the Cricut American Alphabet cartridge.  I loved the little flourishes that were added to these letters.  I really enjoy the colors since they are so bright and fun.  The solid color paper is the back of the animal print paper so there was no need to worry about finding colors that matched.

 On these individual pictures you can see the embossing I did with my Cuttlebug.  I used 2 folders from the Animal Prints Set.  I used the Cheetah and Zebra print folders.

 The zebra texture wasn't as pronounced as I would have liked but I still love the way it turned out.

Recipe:
Black Card Base: A2-4.25 x 5.5"
Animal Print Layer: 4 x 5.25"
Solid Color Layer: 3 x 4"
