BIRTHDAY BIRD CARD

I made a quick little bird card for my boss's birthday.  I am not sure which cartridge I used to make the frame of the circle.  I got it from a card I had saved on my Gypsy.  The bird is cut from Give a Hoot.  I cut the underbase in blue foil paper and in brown.  I wanted little brown legs.  (I cut the legs off of the blue one)  I am entering this into a "For The Birds" challenge at My Craft Spot click Here to join in the fun.

MONOGRAM CARD

I thought I would try something different today.  I wanted to make a monogram thank you card.  Then I decided I would make a set of them for my friend who is treating us to a Sharks hockey game.  I am in love with Core'dinations Whitewash paper.  This card was made with one sheet of paper.  One side is white the other yellow.  After embossing I sanded off the white.  I am entering it into a monogram challenge at BBTB2  CHeck it out CLICK HERE

FCCB Challenge #100 and CCR Shape Card Challenge

Fantabulous Cricut is celebrating their 100th challenge, with a color challenge.  Green Turquoise and purple.  CLICK HERE to join in the fun.  CCR is having a shaped card challenge CLICK HERE to check it out.  I used Damask Decor for this egg shaped card.  There were only three layers on this cut (The lacy egg, the flower and flower background.  It looked very plain so I put some turquoise glitter ribbon behind some of the cut then mounted the egg on purple glitter paper and trimmed around it before adhering to turquoise card.  It still looked blah so i added a purple, green and turquoise print from K&Company on the inside. I had some K&Company chipboard corners that fit perfectly on the outer corners.  After much trial and error, I am very happy with the end result.  I may make more and use them for Easter Cards.
