Hi everyone,
For challenge #21 (gift bags and boxes) at http://craftspotbykimberly.blogspot.com/ I got to make a heart shape gift bag using SU cardstock, ds paper (retired), scallop punch and the embossing folder.  A brad was used to hold the petals of the flower and bling was used to give it a little sparkle.
I used Cricut  Tags, bags, boxes and more cartrdge and Gypsy wandering cartridge too.

Some days some cards inspiration comes easier than other days, and this is one of those days.  I was asked to make an engagement card for a friend.  This is what I've come up with,  A4 size was needed.  Now this fits into a few of the challenges that I regularly enter into into.  The first is http://fantabulouscricut.blogspot.com/  challenge # 72 (lets get buggy) and http://diecuttindivas.blogspot.com/  challenge #27 (garden showcase) since his proposing to her in the great outdoors.

Here's a card I was able to combine for 2 challenges http://fantabulouscricut.blogspot.com/  #70 (melon time),  http://craftspotbykimberly.blogspot.com/  #18 (emboss it), http://diecuttindivas.blogspot.com/  #25 (sweet treats) and http://cricutcardzchallenge.blogspot.com/ challenge #86 (tuitti fruitti)  I wish you can actually see the proper colours used.  The fruits are so bright, yummy and glossy.

For this challenge I used the Cricut Perserves and Pagoda cartridge, bamboo embossing folder, SU  card stock,  emboss folder reversed, brads, punch and ink and retired hostess stamp , dimensional glue and tape for the fruits, chalk.  I ofcourse cut the fruits out in white cardstock and used Copic pens to colour the fruits. 

robotz

Hi everyone,
So many challenges and not enough time, if only you had a pause button.  :D
For this challenge #23 at http://celebratetheoccasion.blogspot.com/  we had to make a card using blue and white.  I use Cricut Robotz cartridge for the focus , SU star punches, ds paper, cardstock ane ribbon.  I also use a little Copic pens for various parts of the robot and I think the stripped paper was from DCVW, oh and don't forget the little bling for the wheels and antenne.  The shimmy paper was from the treasure stash...
Have a gr8 wkend...

Cutie pie

I used Lala image for this card.  Copic pens was used to colour the image, various papers from the stash pile, SU ribbon and punch, finally a rub on "sweet" was used. 

For challenge #12 at http://cas-ualfridays.blogspot.com/ ( :( can someone pls tell me why I'm having problems linking this to the Cas-ual Friday's blog challenge and how I can fix this.  It's telling me that it is not a direct link when I'm trying to add my pic.  I've been able to link in the past challenge.  Would really appreciate help, your talking to a computer illiterate here, if you want it to crash I'm the girl for you.   :D   )  and challenge #18 at http://birthdaysundaes.blogspot.com/

Birdie

For challenge #84 http://cricutcardzchallenge.blogspot.com/
 I made with card using Cricut Birthday Bash and Wall Decor and more cartridges.  I used Copic pens on some of the birdie and coloured the eyes black with pen as well since I didn't have any black bling.  For the ballons and the letter "B" I used Brilliance pigment ink to give it a little bit of shimmy.  Embossing on some of the paper ribbon at the bottom to give it some texture as well.

By using the letter "B" made it easy to be either a birthday or a baby card or someone's initial as well.

sundae

Apologies for the blurred images everyone.  Nothing better than having a yummy sundae on a hot summer's day.  For challenge #69 at  http://fantabulouscricut.blogspot.com/  and challenge # 18 at http://birthdaysundaes.blogspot.com/   Yehhhh I was able to replace the blurred Sundae image.  :D


I use Cricut Birthday Bash to cut out the shapes and use Copic pens once again to colour the image.  I wanted to give a little depth to the sundae so I wouldn't look so flat.  SU stamps, ink, cardstock and ds paper was used to make this card.  Dimensional glue was used on the cherry.

X-mas

I love the Cricut Hello Kitty Greetings and Salutations cartridge   I used Copic pens to colour Hello Kitty  for a Christmas theme challenge  #17 at http://craftspotbykimberly.blogspot.com. Once again I used embossing for the background, SU ds paper, retired stamp set, watermark and coloured ink and embossing powder.

Hi everyone,
Apologies for the blurred image.  Here's a shaped card I did for challenge  #24 at  http://diecuttindivas.blogspot.com/.  I used Cricut Create a Critter cartridge, SU ds paper, punch, brad and a ribbon for the bow.   Just realised why my card was not lining up as well as it was suppose to, when doing the cut out of the shape - reverse one of the images before welding.

A very simple card using using SU punches, ribbons, inks and sticky cuts.  I embossed the card front it self, used a flower brad and some chuncky glitter to bring it out.  I made this card for the http://birthdaysundaes.blogspot.com using orange, green and white for the summery challenge
