Hey everyone we've got a fabulous sale going on! Only 25 CENTS on all Cherry Arte Double Sided Gorgeous Patterned Papers, yummy Rub-Ons and sweet Chipboard Accents!!!
J'ai utilisé le même procédé pour ma deuxième carte avec des retailles qu'il me restait de tout les petits projets que j'avais réalisé. Alors avec tout ces petits morceaux j'ai pu créer une jolie carte d'anniversaire que j'offrirai à mon moi-même dans 2 jours. (Bien quoi? à défaut d'en avoir on se contente non?)
Cette carte est particulière car elle est vraiment étagée. C'est dommage car ma photo ne rend pas très bien la carte qui en fait mesure environ ,25 pouces d'épaisseur. Les coeurs sont le plus surèlevés ce qui donne un petit look chic à la carte.
Et voila! C'est tout pour cette semaine déjà!
My second layout is titled "Love" hope you like it!
Here's what I used for both my projects: Paper:

Hugs,
I used the photo of my Daughter as a pocket to hide my journaling card. I then added some cute rubons also from Cosmo Cricket - Jack's World!
My little Nephew is such a little character the cute little monkey was the perfect rubon to add on this page! I also made his photo double as a pocket to hold my journaling card. I stapled some ribbon from the same line Cosmo Cricket - Jack's World onto the journaling card to give it a playful look. And the cute chipboard buttons are from Bo Bunny.
I ruffled some paper and applied it to the back of my photo using my new Glue Glider Pro Unit! You have to check out this Glue Glider it is so cool my new favourite adhesive!It is refillable and easy on the wallet, defiantly worth every penny!
I hope you enjoyed today projects, and until next time Happy Scrapping!
The next project is my series of Mother's Day Cards. Still wanting to re-use alot of my scrap patterned papers and cardstock, I made 4 cards to honour the moms in my life - my Mom, my MIL, my Step MIL and my BF all are whom great moms (but of course more biased towards my Mom - she's the BEST, love you Mom!). Now I won't tell you which card is for whom (because they read my weekly posts) but here's how I created each of them. Just a side note that all the envelopes were cut using the Beyond Birthdays cartridge using the "sqenvl". Each envelope was cut using the Fit to Page mode which resulted in a 7" shape. Also, all cards were cut at 5" x 10" and scored in the middle expect where noted below.
Card #1 through #3 (described starting from the top left corner of the picture) I used the same design but placed each element differently (I do this so that I remain interested in making cards all in one sitting yet still keep to the same cuts for consistency).
Card #1 - For the 'Mom' card I used Beyond Birthdays cartridge to cut out the word Mom using the Fit to Length feature set at 4". Before I nested the square bases together onto the card front, I embossed the pink cardstock using my Sizzix Big Shot machine. Next I layered a piece of patterned paper (taken from scraps left over after creating the base on my April DT Kit to be featured next week) on the right side. Then I adhered this piece onto the light green cardstock and before I placed it onto the card I tied ribbons onto both pieces. Lastly this background was placed onto the card front. I stamped the sentiment 'Just for You', cut it out in a rectangle shape before using my corner rounder punch (for dimension I placed a glue pop dot). To finish off the card, I placed the word 'Mom' on top of the embossed part of the card.
Card #2 - I wanted to use this card as a stamping project as I am still on my stamping discovery journey... I won't go into detail on how I stamped my image but here's how to assemble this card. I cut a square base at 4-3/4" so that my other paper pieces would rest upon. Next I cut my white cardstock at 4-1/4" x 3" to stamp my image and sentiment. My patterned paper was cut at 4-1/4" x 1" and both pieces were adhered onto the square base ensuring the stamped images were emphasized. To cover the seams of both pieces of paper I used ribbon to wrap around everything before adhering it onto the card front. So where did I use my Cricut... For the greeting 'Happy Mother's Day' using the Calligraphy Collection cartridge cut at 3". I used both the shadow creative feature and usual image to layer.
Card #3 - Still continuing on my stamping journey... I cut 2 square bases; one at 4-3/4" and the other at 4-1/2". First I adhered the larger square base onto the card. The smaller square I stamped an image in the top left corner then the sentiment in the middle. Next I layered a piece of patterned paper cut at 3" x 4-1/2" onto the smaller square base which covered part of my stamped image (but that's okay because it achieved the effect I wanted). I tied a piece of ribbon around these two pieces before adhering them onto the larger square base. Lastly I wrote '... on Mother's Day' on the smaller square base to fill in space on that top half and to balance out the large pattern below. So you might be asking yourself again... Where was the Cricut used? Like my last card, I used the Beyond Birthdays cartridge to cut out 'hugs to you' sentiment and glued that onto the inside of my card at 3" using the shadow blackout, shadow and usual image creative features.
Card #4 - This type of card is new for me - a gate-fold card. Still using the same dimensions as all the other cards; I scored this card at each end at 2-1/2" and folded the sides inward. Next I cut out two rectangle shapes at 2-1/4" x 4-3/4" and adhered them onto the gate folds of the cards. Next, using the floral pattern on the same scrap paper used on my gate folds as the card band base I was able to figure out how large to make the cuts. The background to the card band was cut at 4-3/4" x 4" then I trimmed the patterned cardstock to nest in the middle. To adhere the card band onto the gate fold front, I placed adhesive on the one-half of the band. Lastly, I stamped my greeting in the top right corner of the band before using a decorative corner punch. This will hopefully guide her eyes to know where to open the card. To ensure this card remain closed during the mailing process and to add another touch of prettiness, I adhered on the back a piece of ribbon ensuring it was long enough to come to the front of the card and tied a knot. And you don't need to ask again... My Cricut was used for the inside of the card, I combined cuts from the Beyond Birthdays and Calligraphy Collection cartridges using only the shadow creative feature and usual image cuts for consistency in appearance.
*Tip: Using your Cricut for your insides of the cards is perfect when you just want to say that one message like Happy Mother's Day, Love You, Miss You, etc... And when you can layer and mix up your papers it certainly gives a WOW factor that the recipient did not expect but will certainly enjoy. Try it on your next card!
*Tip: I tend to use ribbon to cover off any paper seams esp if I am not inking the edges. This can give you more detail and dimension to your project!
*Tip: I, personally find it easier to adhere in stages as supposed to an all at once approach. This makes it easier for me to ensure proper spacing and that all pieces are glued together tightly.
That's it for this week's edition of Cricut Tuesdays, thanks for dropping by! I hope I was able to inspire you to re-use and re-cycle your scraps into making wonderful projects like these one featured in this post.
Until next Tuesday... Take Care!

I wanted to keep it simple, I started by printing up the title and quote on vellum, not quite realising how tricky this can be and some of it smudged a little. Then I found a few great photos online from the movie, found a neat labyrinth to use in the background and got to work. I'm sure I could have filled the page with each characters name and quotes that I like from each of them but it would have defeated the purpose.
À la semaine projet pour d'autres créations!
Easter's on it's way!
To make the topper and have an extra piece for the 2nd treat bag, cut a sheet of printed paper to 6" x 5". Score and crease at 2 1/2" and 6". Attach the paper using a tape/glue runner. I've used various Easter themed adhesive borders that I had lying around to decorate the front as well as ribbon. Of course you can use anything your little heart desires to create the feel you want! I'm sure that for the Cricut users out there, you'll have the perfect cartridge to use. For the closure I used a 3/4" hook and loop circle.
Here are some my tips and tricks to help you re-create these cards or make your own creations. I wish someone told me some of these... Some of these tips and tricks were discovered simply through trial and error on my part.

I really enjoyed playing with this new line because the color combinations are amazing! I created my own paper flowers using 2 different sizes of EK Success Paper Punches. I added a couple of Que Sera Sera Charmers and Making Memories Flower Patch Gems for the center of my flowers.
I created some freehand flourishes using Ranger Ink Liquid Pearl to various parts of the page. I then used just a few of Que Sera Sera Grand Adhesions, Adhesive Chipboards, and Diecut Ephemera and voila a finished project, well almost done I still need a title which in my case "OBSESSION" speaks for itself!
Happy Scrapping!
