Flaunt It Fridays Challenge

I found a new blog, Flaunt It Fridays, that posts weekly challenges so I wanted to play along!  I didn't have the required cartridge, Simply Charmed, so I used the fish from Create A Critter instead, she is cut at 2.5 inches and the bowl I cut at 5.5 inches after I welded 2 together using my Gypsy!

I used my Cuttlebug on this card and 4 different embossing folders - Tiny Mosiac (fish), D'Vine Swirl (water), Forest Branches (seaweed), and Swiss Dots (sand).  The sentiment stamp is from My Pink Stamper 'More Punny-licious' and the face stamp (eye part) is Peachy Keen 'Critter Faces Set A Medium.'  The twine is from The Twinery.

Another Easter card

My husband liked the card I made so much using this cracked egg/chick a couple of weeks ago (it was for someone else), that he asked that I make it again to give to someone in our family for Easter!  So I made another one yesterday, for our boys to give to my parents at Easter dinner on Sunday!

I cut the chick/egg from Create A Critter at 3 inches and used a face stamp from Peachy Keen 'Critter Faces Set A Medium', coloring it in with Stampin Up 'Stampin Write' markers and 'Stampin Pastels'.  The sentiment stamp is from My Pink Stamper 'Happiest Moments' set.  The flower ribbon and paper were from my stash and the card base from DCWV.  The bow was made with twine from The Twinery.

I just love this chick and with the face, its even better - it just makes me smile!  Hope it brightens your day as well!

Thinking of You Today!

I made this for a friend to let her know that I'm thinking about her.  I'm entering it in the April Showers challenge at Get Inspired With Chatter Scene.

I used a DCWV card base and some paper from my stash.  I cut the chick and umbrella from Create A Critter Cricut cartridge at 2.5 inches.  The cloud and rain drops are also from Create A Critter, cut at 2 inches.  The face stamp is from Peachy Keen 'Critter Faces Set A Medium' and I colored it in using Stampin Up 'Stampin Write' markers and 'Stampin Pastels'.  The sentiment stamp is from My Pink Stamper 'Fabulous Phrases'.  I used my Sizzix 'Winter' and Cuttlebug 'Divine Swirl' embossing folders with my Cuttlebug for the embossing on umbrella and cloud.  The ribbon is from American Crafts.
