It's time for another Cricut Cardz Challenge.  This week the challenge is to make a Mother's Day using the card feature from any cartridge and include a flower on your card.

I decided to use my Wild Card cartridge for the card feature.  It's funny....I wanted this cartridge for a long time but now that I have it I hardly ever use it.

Card Base - Wild Card at 5.25"

Hummingbird - Pagoda at 2.2.5"

stamped with Vintage Wallpaper BG stamp from Market Street Stamps and then Smooch Spritzed

Label - Lacy Labels at 1"h x 2"w

For my flower, I gathered a piece of vintage seem binding that I purchased from ETSY with a running stitch and then hot glued it down to a 1" circle.  I added the brad in the center.  It's not perfect but I guess it looks okay!

Click HERE for the 39 and Fabulous Blog Hop!

Hi guys!  I hope you are having a great weekend.  I spent the day at the park with my kids today...we are having some beautiful weather here in Texas.

 I wanted to share a project that I made today for the Moxie Fab World, Tuesday Trigger.

Aren't these colors fabulous?!  My two favorites....red and turquoise.  Here's what I came up with...

I used my new Vintage Wallpaper background stamp from Market Street Stamps to stamp the yellow background.  I'm trying to branch out and learn some new techniques so I'm not using my Cricut for everything!  I cut the shaped mat from Lacy Labels and the butterfly from MS Elegant Cake Art. 

The sentiment is from the Scrappy Moms set - All in the Family.

I've had this card in my mind for a few days and tried all kinds of variations on the color scheme.  I'm not sure if this works or not but I like it more each time I look at it

Happy Friday everyone!  This week at Flaunt It Friday's we are flaunting the skull cut from Mini Monsters.  I don't have that cartridge so I decided on a skull from Rock Princess.    I decided on a tag for my project this week.

I cut the tag from Lacy Labels....I feel like I am using that cartridge on almost everything I make lately!  It is a great cart....so many shapes that can be used for card bases, tag, mats and for little backrounds for your stamped sentiment.  I forgot to write down the measurements for the tag but it measures about 6"h x 3-3/4"w.  I cut the skull at 3"h from Rock Princess.  This cut has a flower attached to it but I trimmed that off and added a white Prima flower that I glittered with my Xyron.  The sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Stamps For the Boys stamp set.
