yay/Cricut Explore/DS196



This sweet little Pail card was cut with my Explore Air with an image from the Simply Charmed cartridge included in my subscription to Design Space paired with the deconstructed sketch196 .

It was jump started by the 2 little munchkins below, my grandsons, Kempton and Renior. I had sent them some money for Easter and they decided to spend it on these colorful pail and shovel beach sets. 







I fell in love with the image and just had to make a card. The SU DSP is High Tides  paired with Calypso Coral, Pacific Point, Smokey Slate, and Summer Starfruit. I used 2 of the dies from the Circle Card thinlit, the star punch and the Star EF. I thought the sentiment from, Remembering Your Birthday fit perfectly. Don't you? 

One of the boys has a birthday in a several months and hope I remember that I made this so I can send it to him. :0)

Make it a great Friday and go do something CRAFTY!

Hugs,

Your Simply Wonderful / cQc#286 / FMS181


Here is a card I created yesterday for two challenges, Freshly Made Sketches and ColourQ.


The butterfly (Butterfly Thinlets Die) was inked to obtain the"Ombre" look using Cajun Craze, Tangerine Tango, and Crisp Cantalope. 

I embossed the the Bermuda Bay with the Spring Flowers Textured EF, used the Gorgeous Grunge stamp plus a stamp from an older Paper Pumpkin Kit to add interest to the main layer, then added some sequins for the bling factor. 

That's about it for todays post. Make it a great Thursday and as always, go do something CRAFTY!

Hugs,
BernieBee

Smile/Cricut/MOJO #392

Just a quick post today using the MOJO#392 challenge sketch.  I went back and forth trying to decide what would be my focal point and my final decision was this cute camera from the Summer Vacation cartridge.  I'm loving my new Explore Air and the Design Space. I seem to learn something new everyday about the capability of this machine and the program. LOVE it!

I paired the card with retired SU products, Retro Fresh DSP and the Happy Day stamp set. I will be sad when I use up that DSP. I love the patterns and the colors.

I glued three of the camera cuts together to give it some dimension and added a piece of foam tape on the back, doodled around the edge, and added the hearts. Since I didn't want to leave the Tangerine Tango strip plain, I decided to emboss it with the Stylish Stripes EF to mimic the the paper along the edge.  I'm not sure what occasion I will be using this card for, so I left the inside blank.



Well, I'm off to do a little reorganizing of papers in my Studio today.  Gosh, it seems like I'm always organizing. How about you?

Make it a wonderful Wednesday and go do something CRAFTY!

Hugs,
