Baby Step card

This is another step card that I have been working on. Couldn't post it before now since I didn't want the recipient to see it early. I think I am in the clear now so I can share it with you now. 

I am really happy with how it turned out. Mind you, it was not a card that came together fast. No, I played with it for a few hours before I got it looking exactly how I wanted it.


I am linking this card up to the following challenges
Little Scrap Pieces- Anything your Heart Desires challenge
Stars and Stripes Cut it Out challenge


Here's How I Did it...
Basic side step card when folded measures 4.25 x 5.5

Bear/layers cut from Christmas cartridge
Mobile on crib is the top of a bird cage from the Songbird cart sized on gypsy
Stars from CM border punch

Scraps of lace, ribbon, chalk, glitter pen to accent the card

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
