Make Some Music ~ FCCB Challenge Me Monday

Hello and Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

It's Monday and time for another challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog. This week's challenge is titled, "Make Some Music." The challenge is to make a project with an instrument or with music notes on it.

I made a card that is a little different for me. I've had the Rock Princess Cricut cartridge sitting on my craft table for quite some time and thought I would give it a try. I am not sure I am not super excited about this one but I have teenage girls and thought it might come in handy.

Here are the details:

Rock Princess Cricut Cartridge ~ rocker chick 

Twinkle Toes Cricut Lite ~ card base welded in my Gypsy, music notes

Whimsy Stamps ~ sentiment

My Craft Spot Crinkle Ribbon ~ Midnight Black

Cuttlebug Embossing folder

Edge Scissors ~ used on my red strip

Misc. ~ white and black gel pen, black ink, button, foam tape, atg, hot glue gun

For more inspiration be sure to visit Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog to see what my fellow design team member have for us today.

Come back tomorrow for my first official posting as a Scrappy Moms Stamps designer!

Happy Crafting!!

Hello, My Craft Friends! I hope your week has been an enjoyable one. Today, or should I say tonight, I have a cute little patriotic card to show you. I made it with three challenges in mind. I will list those at the end of my post.

This was a fun little card to put together.

Here is what I used:

Stand and Salute cartridge ~ firecrackers ( these were turned  and I hid the stripes using my Gypsy )

Peachy Keen Stamps ~ PK-490 Everyday Character Face Assortment

TPI Studio ~ sentiment

Patterned Paper is from My Minds Eye Party Time stack ( this paper has a little glitter but it doesn't show up in the picture too well )

Sizzix Embossing Folder ~ Lines and Dots

Ranger Glossy Accents ~ used on the eyes to give some shine

Stickles ~ Orange Peel and Yellow

Baker's Twine

Button

White Gelly Roll Pen

Flaunt It Fridays ~ Twinkle Toes

Yay! It's Friday! That means it is time for a  new challenge over at Flaunt It Fridays. This week's challenge is to use any cut from the Twinkle Toes Cricut Lite Cartridge. I decided to use the piano cut from this cartridge. When I started on my project I had thought I would do a layout since both my daughters play piano. I even had the perfect patterned paper in mind. But as I started gathering supplies I realized that the paper I had planned on using was no longer a nice 12 x12 piece of patterned paper it was much smaller. So, I went from a layout to a card that would be perfect to give to a piano teacher.

Here is what I used:

Card size ~ 4.25 x 5.5 inches

Cricut Cartridge ~ Twinkle Toes Cricut Lite

Cardstock ~ All from my stash

My Craft Spot ~ Acorn Crinkle Ribbon

Ranger Distress Ink ~ Tea Dye, Brushed Corduroy

Martha Stewart Butterfly Punch

Pearls

Button

Hemp

Pop Dots, Glue Dots, ATG

You Had Me at Hello

Happy Saturday, Crafty Friends!

Today's card is for the Scrappy Mom's Terrific Tuesdays cartridge challenge. This week's challenge is to use the Sweethearts cartridge. This came together quickly. I like that it is not so cutesy. I tend to make a lot of those types of cards, which, don't get me wrong, I love to make cutesy cards. It's just nice to do something a little more sophisticated. :)

This is a 4.25 x 5.5 inch card.

Here is what I used:

Cricut Cartridges ~ Sweethearts for the couple and Twinkle Toes for the label

40:31 Creations ~ Love stamps

Fiscars Punch

Cuttlebug Embossing Folder ~ Swiss Dots

American Crafts Ribbon

Flowers

Pearl Bling

Foam tape, Glue Dots, and ATG

Thanks for stopping by!
