Cricut Circle Magazine-Make it your way-Challenge

The Cricut Circle Magazine Challenge was to "Make it your way". The idea was to be inspired by one of their designers and...Make it your way. The rules were to use 3 Cricut cuts and an idea from the magazine. I was inspired by Crystal Hobbs. Her "hello friend" card on page 42 spoke to me. I've never made a stamp shaped card and I love the paper she chose. I decided to make the stamp shaped card from the cart Birthday Bash and I chose a similar line of paper by My Mind's eye-Stella Rose-Mabel. Love how this one turned out!!!!! In fact...I'll be using this card cut again.

Recipe:

• Stella Rose-My Mind's Eye-Mabel line of paper
• kraft cardstock
• twine
• heart punch
• EK Success edge punch
• Action Wobble
• Stampin' Up button
• Bazzill brown mini brads
• Making Memories felt flower
• sentiment-front-(Punny-licious-The Pink Stamper)
• CTMH-cocoa ink
• Amy R-Critter Sentiments-inside card
• Cricut carts-Hoot 'n' Holler, Elegant edges, Birthday Bash, Accent Essentials

The owl was cut from Hoot 'n' Holler at 2.75". The blue flower was cut from Accent Essentials at 1.5". The base card was cut from Birthday Bash pg.31 at 5". The layered shapes on the front were cut from Elegant Edges pg.38 at 3.94"...using the Gypsy to make sure that they would fit perfectly inside the stamp card base. Too cute!!

Pink Stamper Challenge-owl card

I made this card for a scrapbooking gal pal. She loves owls as much as I do...hope she likes it!! It just happens to fit in with The Pink Stamper Challenge...a card with a bird on it. I hope she notices the PINK owl!!

Recipe:

• Kaisercraft-Hey Birdie collection
• CTMH-Chocolate ink
• Amy R Stamps-Sentiment
• green Bella Bling
• old Walmart ribbon from my stash
• Glamour dust (I can't help myself!!)
• Cricut cart used- Hoot 'n' Holler

Wild Card # 23

 And another ones down...#23!! This card is called thinking. Again, I tried to keep it non-girly. I think it turned out ok.No flowers, but I had to add one or two owls!!??

What I used this time:

• Swiss dot taupe Bazzill, all other paper came from Dat's(it was from one line, but it was all scraps...no idea of what it was called...yeah! scraps!)
• brown ribbon and chocolate ink from CTMH
• green ribbon Stampin up
• googly eyes, black Stickles
• sentiment inside from Kraftin' Kimmie
• cartridges used: Wild Card, Calligraphy(thinking of you), George(oval and shadow on inside), Hoot n Holler(both owls)

Wild Card # 20

Yahoo # 20!! Finally. This card is called the dial card...which I guess is appropriate considering there is a dial. It's kinda neat because you can stamp different sentiments on the dial. The original card has little holes all over it(kinda moth eaten).To be honest I had no idea what to do with this one. I decided to make this one by cutting it out in the blackout feature, and voila. I think it's kinda neat, I'll probably make this one again. I also had the chance to play with my slightly used new cartridge Hoot n Holler, Yay! (thanks again Donna)

Ingredients:

• Brown and olive Bazzill, 3 types of brown cardstock, cream cardstock
• scenic route summer collection(blue pattern and leaf pattern)
• DCWV brown dot
• brown ribbon from my stash
• chocolate ink CTMH
• stamps CTMH and Kraftin Kimmie
