Happy Birthday!!

Hi,
This post is about the birthday card I made for 3 different challenges:

1) Celebrate the Occasion: #52 Birthday Bling Challenge -- In order to help build up your birthday card stash the challenge this week was to create a birthday card and you must use bling.
2) Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog: #100 Color Challenge -- This challenge is all about color specifically the colors that make up the FCCB blog (purple, turquoise, and green).
3) Cardz TV: #103 You Take The Cake Challenge -- This challenge is for a birthday card with a cake or cupcake.

Okay now that that is out of the way on to my card.  I used a cartridge I just received, Sweet Treats.  I chose the cake on page 40 as my main image. 

Since I cut a bigger cake I decided to use a square card base (5.5 x 5.5").  I orginally hadn't cut a shadow but decided it needed something to help make the cake stand out.  The cake was cut at 5" and the shadow at 4.8".  I didn't want the shadow to be as large as it would have been if I would have cut it at 5".  I embossed the blue layer with the D'vine Swirls Cuttlebug folder.  The jewels I used are actually light purple so they matched the purple cardstock.  I used Studio G glitter glue in yellow to decorate the flame and Glossy Accents over the Happy Birthday cut.  I also added the green brads that I got from Hobby Lobby.

Here's a close up of the words and the jewels.  This is a bright, fun card.  I really loved how it turned out.

Recipe:
White Cardstock Base: 5.5 x 5.5"
Green Cardstock Layer: 5.25 x 5.25"
Blue Cardstock Layer: 5.25 x 2.5" (embossed with D'vine Swirls)
Purple Cardstock Layer: 5.25 x 1"
Cake: 5" (page 40 in Sweet Treats cartridge)
Cake Shadow: 4.8" (page 40 in Sweet Treats cartridge)
Studio G glitter glue, Glossy Accents, Light purple jewels

Have a Magical Day!!

Just Relax

Hello,
I know this is crazy because its my third post today but I made all 4 projects yesterday and put the pictures on my computer so all I had to do was write the posts today.  This card was made for the A Stitch in Time challenge at Cardz TV.  The challenge is to create a card for any occasion using real or faux stitching.

I wanted to do something extra fun so I made a relaxing card with the face mask from the Cricut Lite cartridge Slumber Party.  I definitely need to do some relaxing this week since I take my nursing boards on Thursday.  I chose the blue and green colors because I love this color combination.  I used my white gel pen to add some faux stitching around the black base and mask.  I had to add some light blue glitter glue to the polka dots.  I also embossing the background with my Cuttlebug.

Recipe:
Card Base: 5 x 5"
Layer: 4 1/2 x 4 1/2" (Polka Dots Cuttlebug folder)
Mask: 4"
1/4" We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper
Studio G Glitter Glue
Ribbon from stash
White Gelly Roll Pen for faux stitching

Have a Magical Day!!
