For my card, I used the Doodlecharms cartridge to cut out the spider.  The paper is from my stash but I think it is DCWV.  I punched out the tag using a punch from EK Success.  The stamp and ink are from Close to my Heart.  Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Cricut Cardz Challenge #84

The challenge for this week is to make a card using a monogram (initial) and any colors or cartridges you'd like.
For my card I used cards from DCWV La Creme box of cards.  I cut a strip of black paper (from Michaels) at 1.5".  The scallop was cut at 2.25" using the Cricut cartridge Mini Monograms.  The initial was cut at 1.4" using Cricut cartridge Elegant Cakes.  I used Stampin Up Dimensionals on the scallop.  This is a quick and easy card.  I have made sets of these and given them as gifts and they were a huge hit.  Thanks for stopping by my blog.

Paper Cutz Challenge #101

Paper Cutz Challenge #101 is Anything goes!  Make a card, LO or craft project using any colors and any theme you'd like.
For this challenge, I made a 50th birthday card for my friend Melanie who's big birthday is next month.  The paper is from Making Memories (I think it is but I'm not positive - from an old pack).  The "over the hill" and "50" were cut out using my Slice.  The ribbon is from Michaels and the flower is from Prima.  I used my Irock tool to bling up the 50.  Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Happy 40th Birthday Treat Boxes

These are some treat boxes that I made for my friend Jennifer's 40th Birthday celebration.  The treat boxes were cut out using Cricut Cartridge Happy Hauntings at 10.5".  They are really simple to put together.  I filled them with yummy chocolates.  The phrase was cut out at 3.5" using Cricut Cartridge Life's A Party.  Jennifer was surprised and a good time was had by all!   Thanks for taking a look.
