Fall Paint Can Swap

A Fall Paint Can Swap on the Cricut MB got my creative energy flowing. I really wanted to create a can that was bold and vibrant, just like the Fall season. I found the butterfly a while ago with intentions to use it on this can... then completely forgot about it! Funny how things work out. I needed something to complete the can when it all came back to me. It really fit beautifully center stage. It just makes me happy. I hope Deb likes it too!

All paper is DCVW card stock with white core. Orange is embossed using Cuttlebugs Pumpkin Harvest folder inked in black pigment, heat embossed with black powder. Green is embossed using the CB Autumn Type folder, also inked and heat embossed in black. Score lines between the pumpkin give it a nice distressed look. I pressed hard using my score-it tool in some places to tear the paper slightly and show the white core. I love how this turned out. All ribbon is misc, fall berries are from the Joann floral department. Can lid scallop edge circle is cut from Cricut Mini Monograms and embossed with the CB Tiny Bubbles folder. The handle is covered in chenille yarn that I crocheted a few long single chain lengths and wrapped around to finish it off.
Thanks for looking!

Cuttlebug A2 folders used: Autumn Type, Pumpkin Harvest, Tiny Bubbles

ATC ~ Wintertime

Artist Trading Cards were a bit intimidating to me at first but now I am really loving them. The work surface is a small 3 1/2 X 2 1/2... that's it! You have to make it all fit and tell a story that fits in your hand. These little frosties are colored with watercolor pencils. Backround paper is stamped with versamark pad. The skittles are colored with alcohol ink and I finally got to use the little sparkly ribbon stuff Kathrin sent me! It is perfect for these little guys.

Best Wishes for a bride to be...

I made this card for my aunts engagement. The large pink cut is a the frame cut from Cricuts Home Accents, embossing is from Cuttlebug D'Vine Swirl and Congrats sets. I just love Bella stamps. This was a gift to me in a stamped image swap... she is Daintybella I think I need to buy her now, LOL! Thanks for lookin!

Simple Trifold card

Sometimes a little simple goes a long way... this card is that for me. It is an 8x11 piece of cardstock, cut in half at 4 inches, scored at 4 and 10 inches.

The Cuttlebug Spot: Challenge 1: Ink up!

Who doesn't love their cuttlebug?! What a great challenge over at The Cuttlebug Spot. This weeks challenge was to use any folder inked. I have been loving these pop up cards for a while now but never tried them out... well, what a perfect oppertunity! For a YouTube tortial by Dawn, click HERE.
For this card I used the spiderweb folder inked with black pigment ink and the dots from the Border: With Love pack. Stamps are Bellas: Witchybella colored with prismacolor pencils and blended with mineral spirits and StudioG. Other: Lime prima, skittle dyed with alcohol ink and misc ribbon.
