Sizzling B-B-Que Card -Fantabulous Cricut Challenge

We're barbecuing over at Fantabulous Cricut ... well the projects are sizzling anyway and it's time for another Challenge Me Monday.

Challenge #21
Summer B-B-Que
Create a project and incorporating b-b-q summer food /cooking

I used three Cricut cartridges for my card,George and Basic Shapes for the lettering, and From my Kitchen for the grill on pg. 41 of the handbook, the spatula is on page44 and page 55 is the fork I used (I show how I made a two pronged fork below). Then Everyday Paper Dolls for the grass on page 77 (accessories 2).

I used the regular fork and cut off two of the prongs as shown below. For the handles, I cut each of the utensils out of brown cardstock, then cut off the utensil part.

I also added brown ink to the edges of the handles, the fork did not have a hole so I made one with a piercing tool then added red twine.

Enjoy the rest of your Summer!

Are you ready for another great Fantabulous Cricut Challenge? There is so much fun inspiration this week, you'll have to check it out.

Another "Challenge me Monday" at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog!!!

Challenge #18

Cool Yummy Treat w/ optional shape card/project

Create a shape card (not required, just suggested) using ice cream, watermelon etc on your project.

One of my favorite summer time treats a cherry popsicle, so refreshing.
I have a design studio cut file at the end of this post.

I chose to make a Popsicle shape card with a clear (wrapper) sleeve. Card size is approx. 3 3/4" x 5 1/2". I used 4 cartridges for this project, and design Studio.
The cartridges... Doodlecharms for the popsicle, Doodletype for the word "popsicle", George and Basic Shapes for the oval, and From my Kitchen for the cherries.

Just think, you could do different colors of popsicles for you favorite flavors, like yellow for banana flavor, then add a banana instead of a cherry on the "wrapper", or how about grape... hmmm what could you do for the yummy rootbeer flavor. :)

Thank you for visiting, I love visitors and comments!!

Chicken N' Eggs

I'm playing with another great sketch from "Cardabilities" blog today.

I have a very good friend who lives outside of town that we get our chicken eggs from, so I wanted to make her a thank you card and thought this would be perfect... cluck, cluck.

I used my design studio to create the sizing of each image. I love using DS, I find is so easy to get just the exact size to fit my 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" card (or what every size of card I'm working with).

This is sketch #5 that Karan, from Cardabilites, has created for us to use for this weeks challenge. Love this sketch!
I feel so lucky to be on the Design Team, with a wonderful group of talented ladies.

See what the Cardabilities design team created using the same sketch -HERE

I used the following three cartridges: From my Kitchen, George and Basic Shapes & Home Accents.

*From my Kitchen- Eggs pg. 66, Rooster pg. 77, Scalloped Oval and Oval pg. 76 (sheep body), Tab pg.67
*George- Rectangles pg. 109 (adjusted sizing)
*Home Accents- Leaves (#35 on my key pad- various sizes)

SO, you think I'm fruity huh?

So my kids thing I'm crazy... perhaps a little "fruity". So I couldn't resist making this card fun... I laugh every time I open the card..... and my kids? Well they just gave me the "yep, you're crazy" look.
For the Just Buggin' challenge this week is titled "All about Food". The darling pear card that I made for the challenge can be found here, "You're Pear-fect Together".
I used the "From My Kitchen" cricut cartidge, the fruit is on page 71 in the booklet. I cut the fruit at 4" using various color of cardstock, since I used the pears for the other card, I already had this cute apple to make a card with.

Just Buggin' Challenge #22 -Pear-fect Together

This card is simply too cute, I made if for the Just Buggin' challenge -All About Food. The challenge was to make a food themed project, it can be a treat container, food themed layout, etc...
The the faces on the pears, I used Peachy Keen Stamps the basic paper doll face assortment. The words "you're Pear-fect Together" is printed using my computer printer.
Aren't these two pears just adorable?
