  Good morning my lovely Pinquettes, Mary here with a beautiful "Love" card using the gorgeous Pink Peacock Splendid Swirl fabric flower and a
beautiful stick pin.
     First I started with this beautiful paper. I think it was from a Monet collection and had to find the right project to use it on. I love the sweeping feel of the background and knew it would look even better with some dimension. I used a light pink flock and a mixed color of Flower Soft for some texture.

 

     Then I added some dimension and sparkle . I just followed the line of the flowers and added some waterfall Stickles. This color went perfect with the Splendid Swirl flower.

      
     Finally these fabulous PP embellishments. I love how the stick pin flows with the line of the flowers. It also goes perfectly with the rhinestones on the sticker for the "Love".

     

      I am so proud of this card and think it will be great for Mothers' Day, Wedding, Anniversary, ok so you get the idea! Do you like to add texture or dimension to your projects?

Thinking Of You


     Hi you happy crafters you!!! Today Erica's Design Team was asked to create a Thinking Of You card. I had some stamped images I had done a while ago and hit a creative block. Nothing, no mojo at all. So when I signed up for this day at My Cricut Craft Room, I decided it was time to do something with this.
     I started with the "Snowy Park" stamp by Penny Black and used Tim Holtz distress markers to color the background. Before I stamped the image on watercolor paper, I spritzed it first with some water for a muted effect.
        It is hard to see in this photo but I used some flower soft at the bottom of the picture to add some texture. Now I wanted to add a frame, but how? Well it was time to use CDS.
     I found a card base with a rectangle aperture on Beyond Birthdays cartridge. You can find this on the card feature and it is the 1st button on the left.In order to fit my image, I sized it @ 7.798 x 5.37". This was a nice size card, however, I only needed the front part for the frame. So, I used the design Studio, flipped the design and then moved it off the mat for the part I did not need. This cut perfectly and was just the right size!
     I wanted to really bring out the wood features of the stamped image so I used the branches embossing folder for the Cuttlebug. I inked the folder with Frayed Burlap before I embossed the frame to get this really cool look. I also added a clear plastic so the picture would really look framed. The sentiment was a rub on and went so nicely with the overall look I was trying to achieve. It also was a great way to keep the flower soft intact.
     Speaking of Flower Soft, thanks to Erica for sending me some. You can buy the products I used here in Erica's Store.
     I used the My Favorite Things rub on to add the greeting on the inside.
     I hope you have enjoyed this project and hope you will head back over to My Cricut Craft Room and see what the rest of the Team has to show you.Your almost over Hump Day  (the week end starts in 2 more days, Whoot!!!).

Erica's Craft Room 100 Cricut Cartridge

June's 100 Cricut Cartridge Blog Hop

     Welcome to Erica's 100 Cartridge Blog Hop. I am so delighted you decided to join our very talented Design Team. Our goal is to show you some of the projects that you can make with your Cricut cartridges. I do hope you find some inspiration along the way and that you try some of these yourself.
     If you came from Lisa's  http://lisacustomscrapbooking.blogspot.com then you are in the right place. If not, then you will want to start at Erica's  http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com so you don't miss a thing!
     I am using the Yummy cart for the Imagine, Tinkerbell and Robotz cartridges for my projects.So let's get started:
     I just love using this cart. The image is on page 8 of the booklet which I cut @ 2".I cut one image combined and then separated the images so I could use just the flowers of which I cut 2 more layers. Then it was just a matter of embellishing the flowers with some lime green stickles on the leaves, glossy accents on the flower and glossy accents plus glitter for the frosting. After it was dry I used pop dots to raise up the flowers.
     While all that was drying, I cut a background mat using Elegant edges on page 52 with the oblong and shadow feature. I used Smooch pearlized accent for the flower centers after I inked the edges with Tumbled Glass distress ink. You know me, I love glitz, so I used some Zing embossing powder in silver glitter finish for my sentiment. Of course I used Pink By Designs stamp set called "age is only a number."
     This guy is so cute! I made this card for one of my Grandsons who turns 2 the end of July. This Robot is on page 57 of the Robotz cart. He is the Retro Botz. The layers I used were Retro Botz+shift, Layer 2 shadow+shift, Layer1+shift . Whew that's a lot of pieces! I cut him @4'' so the pieces weren't too bad to work with. I inked everything while the cuts were still on the mat before I remved any of the card stock. This actually makes it so much easier to ink. The distress inks I used were Faded Jeans and Spiced Marmalade. I used a 5"x7" base and matted it with a piece of printed card stock from DCWV All About Boys Stack. Again I used the same PBD stamp set however I found there was a defect in this particular phrase. The #2 just wouldn't stamp right so I decided to use the black glaze pen Erica sent me as a member of the DT. (LOVE when she does that!!!). I am so pleased how this glaze added so much to the dimension of the phrase.
     Provo Craft also has some awesome embossing folders which go with some of the carts. I love embossing and my cuttlebug but I didn't have room to do this on the front of the card sooo, I embossed the inside!
     I had to use a wobble to make this robot really move, lol. This was missing something so I decided to add some "screw" brads to the corners before I put everything together.
      My final project is the one and only Tinkerbell! I used the image on page 30 and cut it @ 3.5". The cuts on this cart can be challenging especially for facial features such as the eyes and mouth. So I decided to add the features by going over the cut marks with a fine archival pen before I assembled all the pieces. to add a little life to her eyes, I used the white glaze pen Erica also included in my package. Tink is also on a wobble action device.
     I had also received some Zing red embossing powder and flower soft from Erica (I told you she was good to me, Hee Hee) so I found these would be perfect to use on this card. The flowers and butterfly is from Inkadinkado stamps and the sentiment is from My Time Made Easy. I used Versamark Dazzle Ink and the Zink red powder for the flowers  plus a white opaque embossing powder for the butterfly.i finally had a chance to use the flowersoft for the center of the flowers. This is really cool stuff to use.
     All of these products can be found at Ericas store:        http://www.shop.ericascraftroom.com/ 
     I am so glad you took the time to visit with me today and hope you will hop over to Marji's blog  http://www.fstampaholic.blogspot.com/ and see what she has created just for you!
    Here is the list unless you get lost along the way (you won't want to miss a thing!)
