Challenge #5 at Fantabulous Cricut

It's time for "Challenge Me Monday at Fantabulous Cricut! I'm so excited to show this weeks projects and hope you'll join me for the fun.

April Showers (water) Theme:

Create a project that has something to do with "Rain or Water"

ideas/examples: hat, umbrella, life preserver.

I used "A child's Year" cricut cartridge for the adorable little girl watering her flowers. All of the rectangle shapes were cut using "George and Basic Shapes" cartridge. Then I used "Tiny Bubbles" Cuttlebug embossing folder on one of the rectangles, then gently rubbed a light brown ink pad over the bubbles.

This sweet saying was printed from my computer, and the edges were brushed with an ink pad.

More Balloon Shaped Cards

Remember the balloon card I made a few days ago? I really loved the design and so wanted to made a few more, I thought they would be great to have on hand.
To view the details of this card go Here. I also have a simple cut file for the card and a photo tutorial of how I made the ribbon curly.

More fun balloon cards!

Little White Dress Card

Cards using the cricut can really be as complex or as simple as you want, take a look at my super simple, but oh so nice card.
To me, this looks so clean and crisp, and just perfect.

The dress if from Forever Young cricut cartridge with a little ribbon for the waist band, then I just added a little bling on the card and envelope. Super simple.

Make a super simple card today, you'll be glad you did :)

Congratulations -diaper cake card

Remember that cute diaper cake I posted the other day, if you missed it view it Here.
I made a super easy card to go with the cake, I just forgot to post it, here it is.

I used New Arrival cricut cartridge, card 2 feature (shift) on page 88. I cut it at 5 1/4"

I tied a piece of green twill through the window, then glued 3 layers of pink twill to place over the window on the inside of the card.

I cut a piece of cardstock approx. 4" x 5" to place over the messing looking twill. An now the front looks great!
I added an extra flower from the diaper cake on to the front of the card. (I showed how I made bends in the flower on my diaper cake post).
