FCCB Challenge # 230

Tired of the old traditional square or rectangle card. Here's some inspiration to make a Shaped Card which happens to be our challenge this week at FCCB.  I used Elegant Edges cartridge for my basic shape.  Then I cut out my embellishment piece using Celebrate with a Flourish. I like this cartridge because it only has four cuts for each image and they are easy to assemble.

I also finished the inside of the card using stamps from My Creative Time.

Here's a list of supplies used.

Black cardstock- base of card

Orange and black polka dot paper-scrap

Images cut using paper scraps- Yay!

Stickers from Halloween stash

Yellow bling

Stickles Lemon and Black Diamond

MCT-All Around Halloween

Hope you like my card. It was fun to make cause I love Halloween.  You will be seeing a lot of Halloween projects on my blog.  I pulled out my Halloween box of goodies. I'm making (Halloween) things, like treat boxes and decorations so I will be sharing them.

Make your shaped card and link to our challenge, looking forward to see what you create.

FCCB Cricut Crawl

Welcome to a New Year and to our new  FCCB Design Team for 2014

If you arrived here from Pamela one of our newbie Design Team members then your in the right place. I made my card for today using the Cricut cartridge Celebrate with a Flourish.

I used silver paper for my card base at A2 size. I cut the image at 3.00" and embossed it with silver embossing powder. I then inked a doily with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo and adhered the image on top. The hat layer is cut from Coredinations paper. The banner 2014 and the New Year Sentiment are glitter stickers. For a little bling I added the gemstone and the white and silver ribbon.

 Hope you will join our challenge this week and create a card with a sentiment.

Enjoy all the Design team projects on our Cricut Crawl.

The next DT member on the crawl is Lynn B.

FCCB Sparkle and Bling Challenge # 188

Hi! Everyone this week at FCCB the challenge is to make a project with sparkle and bling. Since I am working on Christmas cards I just added some glitter and sequins to my  wreath card. I cut this wreath from the Celebrate with a Flourish cartridge at 3.00".

This card was quick and simple to make. I used red card stock for the base and rounded the bottom corners. This card opens by flipping up. Then I cut white card stock and rounded the bottom corners. I used a red glitter pen to faux stitch. The Merry Christmas is heat embossed with sticky embossing powder and Garnet  Martha Stewart glitter was sprinkled on and heated also.  The keeps the glitter from flaking off. For the bow I used red watercolor marker to define the bow and the red glitter pen for polka dots which are kinda hard to see in the picture. The cut has little red berries but instead I used red sequins for sparkle.

Here is the inside of this card. 

Sometimes I don't finish the insides so I can use them as I need them and add a message that is appropirate for the occasion, but I know Who I am sending this card to so I went ahead and finished it.

Hope you share your sparkle and bling project with us and link up to our challenge at FCCB.

I used the Vampire font from Happy Haunting for my letters to spell SPOOKY. The first flag has a witch flying across the moon from Celebrate with a Flourish. I used eyelash trim in red and black and black sheer ribbon. I cut several frames from Happy Haunting and used aged gold embossing powder to make them look like aged metal.  I used several stickers and brads from my Halloween stash and the paper line I used was from DCWV Ghosts and Goblins. 

That's it. Hope you enjoyed

and get inspired to make your own project
