First Official Challenge

My Pink Stamper has 2 openings for her new design team.

One of the requirements is to have a blog--check! So, I figure, why not give it a try. Nothing to lose, but it gives me something to  write about not to mention a new card or two to share with you. Yes, I did two cards. I had two ideas but could not decide until I actually did them.

I had the idea I wanted to do a valentine's card with a cartridge you would not necessarily think of using for such a card.

The two cartridges I chose are recent additions to my collection, Jolly Holidays and Four Legged Friends. I have posted them both below.  

Can you guess which one I submitted?

Here is the challenge.

Make a card, scrapbook page, or other Cricut project with your favorite cartridge using Robyn's favorite colors......

Pink, Green, Brown

(other optional color of your choice)

Card #1 Recipe ~ Friends Fur-ever

Card is a basic 4.25" x 5.5". I used all Bazzill card stock except for the cute pattern paper which is from American Crafts

Base of the card is pink

The pattern paper is cut 4" x 5.25"

The green paper is 4.25" x 1.5" and then I put it through the crimper for texture. I always forget about the crimper, but it is a cool tool. Once you crimp the paper, it will be closer to 4".

The cute dog and all layers is cut at 4" from the Four Legged Friends cartridge

Add a bit of ribbon, some brads, and a cute sentiment from from My Pink Stamper Punny-licious and Even More Punny-licious (the paw print) stamp sets and you have a cute card. 

I Also added some glossy accents to the eyes and nose, a pearl to the collar for a bit of "doggy bling" and some doodle accents. This is all personal preference.

Card #2 Recipe ~ Two Hearts

Card is a basic 4.25" x 5.5". I used all Bazzill card stock except for the cute pattern paper which is from American Crafts

Base of the card is whit.

The pattern paper is cut 4" x 5.25" then I punched a border on each long side. 

Punched another solid piece of Pink paper and cut to 1" layering on top of the patterned paper. To cover the seam, I added two ribbons, trying to meet the challenge for the use of the color green.

The cute girl and all layers is cut at 3.75" from the Jolly Holidays cartridge. 

I did use my Gypsy to hide the face features so I could use my Happy Lashes Peachy Keen stamp set.

I also cut off the xmas ornament the girl was holding in her hand and added the two  heart brads. 

A few more sparkles of rhinestones using the i-rock for her earrings, some button brads on her coat and  stickles on her headband and coat trim and add her to the card with pop-dots.

The sentiment and heart sprinkles where added using My Pink Stamper Love-alicious and Simply Sweet Occasions stamp sets.

Check here to see which one I posted as well as all the other fantastic cards. It's number 111.
