Project #25

Since this is project #25 and probably the last one I will post today, I need to enter three projects both tomorrow and Sunday to reach my goal! So without further ado...

it's a pillow box. Cut with the Close To My Heart Cricut Artiste Cartridge. I used a 12 x 12 sheet and chose "fit to page." Figuring out how to score the curved edges, I wound up pinching them over my index finger. I was originally designing a card when I chanced to put it on the pillow box and I like it! Both the dress and the sentiment were also cut with the same cartridge. The roses and leaves were cut with the Close To My Heart Art Philosophy Cartridge. I made the stick pin myself. The ribbon, and papers are from my stash. Distress ink was added to the edge of the dress and it was embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder.

BCA #24

I've almost reached my goal of 31 projects in 14 days. This is project #24.

It's a shaped card cut with the Close To My Heart Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge. The image is from Sassy Studio Designs. The papers are from my stash. I added faux stitching with a Gelly Roll pen. I printed the sentiment on my computer and cut it with a Spellbinders Nestabilities pennant die-cut. Of course I'll be adding this to Link Up For Pink. After today, only two days left to enter.

There's still time to Link Up For Pink

I'm just popping in for a quick update. Counting today, there are only three days left to Link Up For Pink. Yesterday was just crazy busy for me and I didn't get a chance to post. I did get a chance to make a couple of quick projects.

The image was a freebie from Sassy Studio Designs. I colored it with Copics and added a tiny piece of bling for her earring. The papers are from my stash as is the organza ribbon and I made the sentiment myself. Be sure to pop in at Link Up For Pink to add your own creation. BTW this is project #23...only eight more to go!

Link Up For Pink

There are four days left to get in on the Link Up For Pink Linking Party. For me that means I only need nine more projects to meet my personal goal of creating 31 projects. I'm glad I set this goal for myself. As a survivor myself, I want to do something to encourage someone that might be going through the disease. Believe me something as simple as a card can go a long way.

On the other hand making suft a lofty goal for myself has made me dig deep into my creative bag of tricks. It's also made me did into my crafting pantry and dig out some stuff I haven't used, don't use enough or need to get better at using. This card is representing all three!

I have an entire set of the Sew Piercing heads but this is the first time I've used one. While I like the texture of the stitches, I'm a sewer and don't know how much I'll actually use it! I super proud of myself that I used the Cricut again for the sentiment and the oval cut. The papers are from my stash. Not only did I add the bling outline but I also incorporated pink pearls as the center of two of the flowers. It's rare I make cards without digis but this let's me know I don't always have to use them. Thanks for stopping and remember to Link Up For Pink!

Another Treat Box - BCA #21

I'm still working toward my goal. Only 10 more projects to finish and post. I'm still having a ball with the new Close To My Heart Cricut Artiste cartridge. This time I used Starlight mints inside.

I decorated the front and the back of this lunch bag style cut. The glittery pink ribbon is also cut with the Cricut. The roses are from the Close To My Heart Art Philosophy cartridge. The branches and butterflies are from a Martha Stewart punches. Finally the bling is from my stash.
