#5 & #6

Still posting up the challenges from World Card Making Day hosted by Christina @ http://www.creationswithchristina.com/.

Challenge # 5 was to make a Christmas tag or gift card.  This was certainly a challenge for me.

Wow.  I need tag help!  LOL  Definitely not my strong suit.  This tag was cut @ 4.5 inches from the Joys of The Season cartridge.  I did my own layering, cutting it 3 times.... white (just the tag shape, I used Design Studio to take out all the cuts inside the frame), red, than the stripped paper from KI Memories.  Added some red bling around the frame and some white sheer ribbon.  I see such cute tags online but had some trouble coming up with something I loved.  I'll probably use this one on a scrapbook page.

Challenge #6 was to make a card using a fall image or stamp.  Here's my card...

I found the pilgrim's hat on Designer's Calendar when I was using the ribbon from challenge #2.  I thought it was pretty cool.  Designer's Calendar is really under used for me.  There are some cool cuts on this cartridge... I need to start using it more.  I cut the hat at 2.75 inches.  The patterned paper is from DCWV's Amber Autumn stack.  The top one is more reddish, the camera flash pulled it pink in this picture.  I added some ribbon (love that ribbon, I think it's my favorite in my stash), white gel pen to bring out some of the cuts on the hat, and inked up the edges.... another simple one from me :)

Thanks for stopping by.  I'll be putting up the final 2 challenges later tonight or tomorrow.

Cheers

I'm slacking!  LOL  I keep meaning to post up what I made for the World Card Making Day challenges that were posted over on creationswithchristina.com.

I already posted challenge #1 the sketch.

Here's a few more...

Challenge #2 was to make a card w/ pink as the main color.  Here's what I came up with...

The pink paper is from DCWV Sweet mat stack.  The ribbon is from Designer's Calendar cut at 3 inches.  I didn't even know I had that ribbon cut, someone mentioned on the cricut MB that they found the ribbon using http://www.cricutsearch.com/.  If you haven't used the site I can't recommend it enough!  A-mazing!  Added a couple Prima flowers and brads and this card was finished! :)

Challenge #3 was a Christmas card.

The "joy" was cut from Lacy Labels (can't remember how big).  I added a little bling for the dot over the "j".  Thought it added a little holiday sparkle, LOL.  Some quick ric-rak at the bottom.  Easy!!

Challenge #4 was to use the colors orange, purple, and green.  I made another Halloween card and used up scraps (one of my favorite things to do!).

The green paper is left over from another card I made and is from DCWV's Midnight Spell stack.  Purple card base and some orange ribbon.  I stamped the Spooky on it, which is Inkadinkadoo from Joann's dollar bins.  Couldn't be an easier card.  :)

I'll post up challenges 5-8 later.  These were fun to work on.  I love challenges :)  Thanks for looking and I hope your week is fabulous!
