Flower Pot Card

So here goes the flower pot card idea again. This time I did not use my gypsy at all. I used my new bubble gum stripes imagine cartridge and chose the flower off the forever young cart. I cut it at 3.5" and then came back and did the shadow in 4". I used stickles as an accent on the white parts. I've found that using it on the image printed paper seems to bleed a bit. I suppose because it's ink jet. I but the flower pot 3.5" x 8.5" and then folded at 1.5" and then in half and folder it and cut about 1/4" or so on an angle. If you google flower pot cards, there are a bunch of tutorials online if it sounds too confusing. I used my cuttlebug folder on the flower pot rim and then inked it with silver to make it stand out. I used the butterfly off the paper lace cart and cut it at .8". The big bow was an afterthought and at first I thought it was too big, but it kinda grew on me. Ok, that's it. Oh...the flower comes out and my sentiment is inside and I cut that out with a label nestability and then added black rhinestones around that too just for another touch of bling. Thanks for looking ane wish me luck on the circle challenge again. Hopefully I can win one:)

Circle Weekly Challenge

Ok, so with Mother's Day coming up, I was trying to come up with an idea that work for that and for the challenge. The challenge this week was to make a gift card holder that incorporated at least two cricut cuts. I just love how this turned out and I'm going to try one more in my favorite colors, black and white (and a little hot pink). I was thinking how fun this idea would be to make for father's day with a bucket of soap, bucket of golf balls, etc. I think a basket of eggs for easter would be super cute too. I just love how this pulls out and you can put the gift card inside or a sentiment if you like. Off to get this submitted and keep my fingers crossed that my idea gets picked this week!

Birthday Goodie Bags

So we filled these with tons of gumballs and the kids were thrilled with them. They had a blast making hamburgers, milkshakes and rice krispie bars and Evan said it was the best birthday EVER! Can't beat that!
