S.O.S. Bingo

There was a 2 week challenge at Shopping our Stash that had a Bingo card you had to use to decide what was to be on your project.  I chose the diagonal line that included: yellow, pearls, FREE, ribbon, and pink.  I used a pad of paper that had both of the colors I needed in it.  The cover is off the paper so I'm not sure who made it.  It is a 6"x6" pad.  This is an A2 size card.  The background was cut to the size of the card and lightly distressed.  The paper with more design is cut at approximately 3 3/4" x 4" and also lightly distressed.  I used some green distress ink around the edges.  The ribbon is from Michael's as are the pearls (they're Recollections).  The flowers (my "FREE" item) were cut from the Flower Shoppe Cricut cartridge.  They are the "fun" flower centers cut at 2".  There is some Viva Decor pearl pen in the center of them.

Super simple Simply Sunday

The current challenge at Getting Cricky is to make a Halloween project. I used the design from Joy at Joy's Life to make this really quick Post-it Note holder (these are the for real, super sticky ones). The stamps are from Kristal's

Fall-O-ween stamps. They are really versatile and I will be using them to make several more of these for some of my teacher friends. I love the little bat! The bat paper is Recollections by DCWV and the solid is from the DCWV fall solid stack (don't remember the name. The black paper is from Colorbok. The oranges don't match too well, but they do look better IRL than in the picture. The notes were on clearance at Walmart over the summer. I used my Nesties to cut the circles and inked all of the edges with Martha Stewart black ink. There is foam tape between the layers for more dimension. I used Scor tape to attach the Post-its to keep it securely in the holder.

CDAC progressive challenge Part 2b

This card is for the second part of the CDAC progressive challenge. The cute digi is by Linda Tieu at Tortagialla. It was colored with Promarkers. I used a Nestabilities die to cut around her and left it on while I inked the edges. It leaves that nice white frame around the image. The papers are from Recollections and DCWV. The star glitter and beads were from the Art Co. Michael's had them on clearance a couple of weeks ago so I stocked up. I used gold spray, also from Art Co., on her. It was a lesson learned. Never assume that two bottles of spray will work the same way, even if they're from the same company. Thankfully I was able to wipe some of the mess off without too much damage. The sentiment is from the K Andrew Designs Positive Thoughts stamp set.

Fantabulous Cricut challenge

Back from hiatus, sort of. Better but not 100%. I decided to try a challenge this week anyway, especially since it's spring break for us. Today's the last day:-( The challenge was to do a square card with green and gold. My card is more mint green and yellow but it's what I had. I just got the Simply Charmed cartridge so that's where the image came from. The card is 5"x5". The paper is mostly old stash scraps that matched (sort of). The striped piece was cut at 4.5" x 4.5" and the green at 4" x 4". The brown base of the popsicle is kraft paper from Recollections. The ribbon is from Big Lots. The popsicle was cut at 4" (all layers). There is yellow Stickles on the front over the sentiment and on the popsicle. I used a cuttlebug folder on the green paper. The buttons are from Walmart. The drip is raised with a foam piece and the popsicle is on with an Action Wobble.
