Hello

    This is another Saturday card .... so glad that my tools are back up and running.   I was stressing there for a hot moment.
This card starts with ..... white card stock that I blended my inks of Salty Ocean and Mermaid Lagoon.
From black card stock I cut that smaller background using a Martha Stewart (all over the page punch)  I miss these.
I die cut the :hello: and the butterfly with the Cricut and the Lyrical Letters Cartridge -  out of orange card stock.
I wrapped the grosgrain ribbon in orange polka dot around the front panel.
All mounted on white card stock.






I would like to add this card to the following challenges if I may please:

Polkadoodles - Anything Goes
Brownsugar Challenge - Use Ribbon

Lots of Hugs

                        Here is Saturday card that needs posting before it's too late.

I'll be back in a minute to update this --

well ... back.  I just had to get that up in time ... the weather was just so amazing at 84 degrees ... I had to grab some of it before winter came back.  

Starting with white card stock, I ran that through the cuttlebug with a flower folder and finger daubed the colors of the challenges on there.
From a scrap piece of white I stamped the sentiment with Orange Marmalade and clear embossing powder.
Mounting that onto a magenta? piece that I faux stitched with a gel pen.  Popped that on an angle for the sketch and wrapped mint jute around.  Then various sizes of mint gems.
All mounted on mint card base.

Full Moon Madness

All right -All right - All right

Time for this madness to come to a stop 😩

Let's start with Thursday.  I have a first year birthday this weekend and I like to makes cards that coordinate with the theme - which for this is pink and gold.  

I emboss the background - I cut the number one cut with the cricut - I get everything together and I go to die cut with my cuttle bug.  Mind you I just embossed with it - but I pick it up to move it in front of me and the gear falls out.  OOOO MMMM GGGG

I flip it over - I turn it around and I can't figure out how to get in the thing.  

I start looking for a replacement - no one and I mean no one carries a cuttlebug or big shot - all have to be ordered online. 

Sooooooooo to YouTube I go.
I wanted to send a shout out to Kill O Byte for helping me through that chaos here is his video  

So now - with my cuttlebug put together - we are an hour to birthday time on the Saturday 

I edge my "1" with clear ink to emboss with gold and my damn heat gun is out 😳

SERIOUSLY

Let the scramble begin and the madness stop

Locked Hearts

          It was a busy weekend ... this card is has three interlocking hearts to work with the Fusion Challenge.  I cut the hearts using my Cricut and the Sampler cartridge.  The XOXO was stamped using gold embossing powder.  The stamp itself is a mounted stamp from the bargain bin and is one of my favorites.
All mounted on white card stock which is on a black card stock base.  I brushed the edges of the white card stock with Fired Brick.









I would like to add this card to the following challenges if I may:
Curtain Call: XOXO Red, Black and Gold
Fantabulous Cricut: Valentines

Anniversary

I started with the black card stock and hand cut the three windows.  I then cut the soft blue/green cards stock with the single window a little larger than the three black ones.
