Die Cuttin' Divas Challenge #209- Anything Goes

It's Tuesday and that means another challenge over at Die Cuttin' Divas.  This week's challenge is Anything Goes. I always seem to struggle with masculine cards so I decided to try one this week.  Here is what I came up with.  I used my Cricut Explore to cut out the truck and write Happy Birthday on it.  The more I use the Cricut Explore, the more I love it.  Thankfully, there are lots of videos on blogs and You Tube to help me learn.  It took me a while to figure out adding the text to the truck, but once I figured it out, it truly was easy to do.

 A2 size card 

Card base - Paper Trey Ink.

Truck and Text - Cricut Design Space

Paper - Close to my Heart

Punch - EK Success

Sentiment - MCT "Once Upon a Time"

Ink - Stampin Up Chocolate Chip 

Brads - Making Memories

Die Cuttin' Divas Challenge #207 - Celebrate Spring

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!  I can't believe that it is already the middle of March, where have the past couple of months gone??  Since it is Tuesday, it is time for another Die Cuttin' Divas challenge and today's challenge is: Celebrate Spring.  It is hard for me to think of spring this week because it has been in the mid 90s in CA.  I'm sure those of you in cold weather states are ready for some warm weather but we would prefer it to be in the 70s like it usually is in March.

Here is the card I made to celebrate Spring:

Paper - Echo Park and Studio G

Ink - Stampin' Up Chocolate Chip

I used Glossy Accents on the flowers but it 

is really hard to see in the photo

I hope you all have a very Happy St. Patrick's Day!  Please stop by Die Cuttin' Divas and check out what the rest of our amazing design team has made this week.

Die Cuttin' Divas Challenge #206 - St. Patrick's Day

Hello and happy Tuesday!  I am just back from a crafting weekend with my friends and we had a blast.  I love these little retreats because I always get so much done and get to catch up with my friends (and we have lots of chocolate)!  Today's challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas is St. Patrick's Day.  Here is a little treat bag that I cut out using Cricut Design Space.  The more I use my Explore, the more I really like it.  I never thought I could get such intricate cuts but the Explore does an amazing job.
