Flowers and Bicycles

Flower and Bicycle is probably a more appropriate title.

So how'd I make this? Well I cut the bicycle out on my Cricut. It's from the Stretch Your Imagination cartridge. But here's the cool part. One of the challenges I found some inspiration from is an inspiration picture that's linked to below. But I really liked the colors in the picture but didn't have paper that matched the way I wanted it to. So I cut out the shadow/base of the bicycle in black like I would normally then cut the layers out in white. And then I colored it with my Copics!!! I have no idea why I never thought of that as a possibility before! Here's the rest of what went into this creation. Also I have to give a shout out to those Spellbinders Card Creator Dies again all those layers wouldn't be possible without them!

Paper: Stash and DCWV Mat Stacks
Copics: RV23, G82, G09, R85

Cute Critters

 Happy Memorial Day!

Three days in a row! Don't expect this always!

So this little guy is from the Create a Critter Cartridge from my Cricut. Create a Critter is totally one of my favorites! I made this butterfly a long time ago so I'm not sure what his (or hers... I never really decided) details are. I can tell you that the sparkle on the purple part of the wings is from a sparkle pen not the paper it's self. The embossing part in the background... (It's hard to see in the picture but it's there...) is one of those fiskers embossing plates things. The name on the plate says Whimsy. I used my spellbinders square dies to cut the center out of the purple paper. (Those were a purchase from Scrapbook Expo this year). Speaking of Spellbinders. Have you used their Card Creator dies. I  don't have any of the fancy ones just the basics in both A2 and 5X7 but they're amazing because I'm the worst cutter ever!  (I could get into another crafty toy I really want but I'll save that for another post.)

Sleeping Beauty, Happy Birthday

Pink and orange has to be one of my favorite color combinations.The orange is Best Occasions textured card stock that I got at Walmart and the polka dot paper is from K and I memories. The Sleeping Beauty stamp is from a clear stamp Disney princess set I got from Joanns and the sentiment stamp is stamped in Memento Angel Pink and says how old would be if you didn't know how old you are. Unfortunately again it's another set that is no longer labeled.The flower shape that the sentiment is stamped on is cut with elegant edges and the card and envelope are cut from Wild Card.

The patterned striped paper is from creating keepsakes the rose is stamped in memento tuxedo black and the rose is colored with copics. and the inside is stamped with adirondack cranberry. the card is cut on my cricut using wild card and the shape on the inside is cut using Elegant Edges.

Orange Rose

Someday I will actually come up with good titles for my cards....

I apologize for the blurry picture my camera has been acting up... But anyway this card was pretty simple once again both stamps are from old clear stamp sets that I don't have the labels for anymore however if anyone recolonizes them and can tell me where there from... Once again all the paper is scrap paper the ink is Memento Tuxedo Black and Studio G Black. The rose is colored with tombow markers. The card I actually cut on my Cricut using Just Because Cards and the red border above the yellow is cut using the border feature on the Ribbons and Rosettes cartridge.
