Exploring Cricut and More Thursday Project

Hello! I am sharing today at Exploring Cricut and More. In keeping with the challenge I created a project for Mother's Day including a ribbon in my floral arrangement.

I created 7 flowers with the Flower Shoppe cartridge.There are quite a few videos on youtube.com showing various methods of making paper flowers. I really like this one and used it as my inspiration. She has other videos on different flowers as well that are awesome! I chose to not have them so tightly cupped for a different look.

The wire was hot glued between the folds of the layers and then the button was hot glued to the center. 

The butterfly has a vellum overlay that is hot glued in the center. It also has a wire attached with hot glue to the back.

I inked the flowers prior to using the stylus, as shown in the video, to cup the flowers. I stickled the edges of most of the petals once the flower was put together.

Exploring Cricut and More-Mother's Day Challenge

Hello! So glad you came to visit. Exploring Cricut and More has a new challenge this week. You are to create a card, layout or project for Mother's Day. You must include in your project a ribbon. So, any color, any machine:)

I chose to create a Mother's Day card using my Cricut Expression. I decided to look at some of my older cartridges and see what I could come up with. I really like these tags from All Mixed Up. I have used them for different projects, but never on a card. 

I think this is really sweet with the white little flowers I added on top. Yellow Stickles was added to the center of the white flowers. I added some Stickles to the tag flower underneath the white. The background paper already came in a patchwork like design.

Exploring Cricut and More - Birthday Box Card

Hello Everyone! I'm sharing today over at Exploring Cricut and More. I created another of Lori Whitlock's cute 3d box cards. I think they are super fun to create and really the hardest is picking the papers you would like to choose. The design is all done for you!

This was a birthday card for my nephew so my colors were chosen based on a teenage boy. There was one candle on the cake that I decided to snip off. I think there is still so much detail on the cake that it is not needed. Another fun idea I thought of, after I was done, was welding the number of the birthday or anniversary to the cake. 

I used gold Stickles for the banner instead of real brads. Either works great! I inked up the stars and the yellow banner pieces so they would stand out a little more.
