Exploring Cricut - Hello Tulip

Hello! I have a fun spring card to share with you today at Exploring Cricut. The snow has finally melted and we are hoping for blue skies and 70 degree weather tomorrow. In honor of spring, I thought I would create a shape card using the papers from Little Yellow Bicycle. It is a spring pack that I got last year and the papers are all so bright and cheery.

The base of the card was cut with an 6x6 sheet of white paper. I created the size to fit in a 5 x 7 envelope. I then sized a circle (pattern paper) to fit slightly smaller than the base of the card. The yellow scallop circle was adhered on top of the pattern paper.

The tulip really went together nicely. I used an olive green for the shadow instead of black to coordinate with the pattern paper. I used the largest PK face from Happy Lashes and colored the tongue with a Copic marker. I used pop dots under the tulip. Looking through my stash, I found the stamp "hello" that tucked nicely in between the leaves of the tulip.

Exploring Cricut-Luck O' The Irish

It's challenge time at Exploring Cricut. The challenge is to create any card, layout or project using a shamrock and your Cricut, of course! 

I created this card using a couple cartridges and really love this color green because it looks so springy. Our mountains of snow have finally melted after some rain this weekend and it smells like spring. I hope we don't get anymore snow; but never say never in the midwest!

After running the medallion through the Cuttlebug I used Diamond Stickles on the Swiss Dots to give a little shimmer.

Sketchy Friday #10 - This Bud's For You

Hello! Glad you stopped by as today is Sketchy Friday and a new sketch to play with. I'm so glad it is Friday as it has been busy, busy at our house. We are doing some DIY projects and getting ready for our new puppy. It was great to get into my craft room and play with Bo the Dragonfly.

I colored him with my Silhouette and of course used Stickles to give him that extra shine. Isn't he darling? You can get him over at the SKdigis Shop. The sentiment is also an SKdigis.

Here is the sketch for this week. Remember, you have until Thursday to enter your project and I hope you decide to join in the fun. Have a great weekend!!
