Birthday Wishes via Scooter

Hey everyone- it's the weekend. 

I have been super busy at work, but wanted to post this Birthday card I was inspired to make due to the Birthday Sundaes challenge this week which was to use at least 3 Brads. 

I have had these cute cupcake brads in my stash for a very long time so this was a perfect opportunity to use one. I also added brads to the tires.

I love this cut from the Sweethearts cartridge. She has that special birthday cupcake in her basket to deliver to a lucky birthday person.

Hope you have a fantastic Saturday - the days are getting shorter so fall is around the corner now  so enjoy the last of summer.

Here's How I did it...

All paper from my stash

Stripe paper from Lasting Impressions

Base of card cut at 4.5" from Wild Card 

Circle mat cut at 3" from George and Basic Shapes

Scooter/layers cut at 3"

Brads from my stash

Ribbon from my stash

Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder on basket

Sentiment from MPS Everyday Occasion

Doodles with my gel pen and stickles

Final day of my stamp release party sneak peeks.

Only 24 hours before I get to reveal my first 

BugBites Stamp set, All Year Round. 

I have had a great time this week sharing with all of you my projects using these stamps. 

I have been so lucky to have some wonderful blog friends sharing their creativity using my stamps this week as well. A special thank you to Sarah. She went all out and did 6 fantastic cards this week. 

I am happy to say she shares in my obsession of paper and crafting as much as I do. 

Here are the peeks for today. 

This froggy card uses the frog cut from the Sweethearts cart- I know, a frog on the Sweetheart cart, who knew.

The card base is from the Wild Card Cart and the Lilly pad is the pond cut from Create-a-Critter. 

Here is what my friends did for you today.

Wacky Wednesday Challenge

Well, happy Tuesday, I guess- sure feels like a Monday though. 

Last night I was, what would the guys in my house call, multi-tasking. That is creating on my gypsy while watching TV.

This was a card I did with the Cricut Cartridge Chaos Challenge in mind which is to use any cut from the Wild Card cartridge.

There are so many different options on this cart. I challenged myself with using a cut that may be overlooked- the lattice/diamond background.

The birds are from the Songbird cart. This cartridge does not have layers, so I cut all my pieces multiple times and trimmed away what I did not want from each to get the look I wanted.

Here's how I did it....

Standard A2 cad base of off white card stock

Lattice background cut at 4"x5.35" from Wild Card

Bird on branch/layers cut at 2.18" from Songbird

Bird in Bird Bath/layers cut at 2.18" from Songbird
Tag cut from Once Upon A Princess

Sentiment from MPS Everyday Occasion stamp set

Brads and ribbon from my stash

Lots of chalk and doodles with my gel pen

Hey everyone- My pink stamper is doing another Pinkalicious Blog Hop tonight. I hopped along to all the design teams creations with my own special guest designers, my friends, Sandy and Sheila. Once we finished the hop, we got to work doing a project for the challenge which was to use the color black and our favorite color.You can find Sandy's and Sheila's cards in the posts below. Be sure to leave them comments too.

Cricut Cartridge Chaos Challenge

Paula over at More Than Favors has weekly challenges using different Cricut Cartridges each week called Cricut Cartridge Chaos.

Looked like fun so I pulled out my Mini Monster Cricut cartridge, which is the cartridge to use this week, to see what I could do. This is one of my favorite carts. My card is a bit "out of this world" with some wacky colors. Don't ya just love those eyes. I found them at my craft store in the doll aisle, lashes and all.

Here's how I did it....

Pattern paper is from Anna Griffin, Imaginations, Creative Memories and scraps from my stash

Card base is cut at 5.5" from Wild Card, p.51

The circle frame is cut at 3.20" from Wild Card, p.39; I placed the frame on top of the card base and hid the outer circle on my gypsy before cutting to be sure the opening on the base matched the opening on the frame.

Punched a yellow circle with my CM large circle punch

Sentiment is from Scrappy Moms A Haunting We will Go stamp set

Stickles, chalk, doodles with my white gel pen and a scrap piece of ribbon stapled on the inside complete this project.
