Hap-Bee Birthday!
This is another easel card I made last weekend! I picked the little bee from the Pooh and Friends cartridge to cut with my Cricut, then added Glossy Accents over the whole thing. Just couldn't resist, so I added a wiggly eye to him too! The yellow flower is one from my stash I got a while ago in a big pack in the dollor section at Michael's, the white one is a Prima Flower. Added some faux stitching, some ribbon, a few brads I had hiding in my stash, and a computer generated sentiment for the inside.

I made these cards using files from Darcy's Designs. The files are called Bitty Blooms and Blooming Ribbons (these files comes with some bonus files too).
Card 1: 8x4 card, used the Blooming Ribbons file. Cut the file at 8 inches to fit the length of the card then I used Star Dust stickles over the cut.

Flower cards
Card 1: 8x4 card, used the Blooming Ribbons file. Cut the file at 8 inches to fit the length of the card then I used Star Dust stickles over the cut.
Card 2: 8x4 card, used Bitty Blooms file. Cut the 9 daisies of the same size and made 3 flowers. Layering them on top of each other with a pop dot in between the layers and added a 'bling' to the center. The leaves are actually cut from the four petal flower in the same file then cut apart.
Card 3: 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card, used both Bitty Blooms and Blooming Ribbons for this one. Used the attached the ribbon svg unto a rectangle svg in Inkscape and used it for the base card. I added a strip of paper embossed with dots to make the card even. I cut the bloom at different sizes in 3 different polkadot paper and layered with pop dots in between the top 4 layers (6 layer total). Then added a 'bling' to the center.
Thanks Card: I embossed small pieces of paper with Sizzix and Cuttlebug embossing plates. The word "thanks" was embossed on Coredinations paper and sanded. The card was topped off with a three-layered Prima flower.

I made these invitations and thank you cards for a friend, her sister was having her first child. I made 35 of each cards. I used my Cricut Expression and the New Arrivals Cartridge for both diecuts.
So Sweet Card, FREE Cutting File
Good morning all,
I am sharing this super cute card I made today! I used the Cindy Loo Cartridge to create the "Doily" background. I created the "So Sweet" title.
Here is a side view of the card to show dimension. You can't see it too well, but I glittered the whole doily with some Martha Stewart Glitter. I decided to "Kick It" old school style wit the glitter this time. I love my Stickles, but I just loved the texture of this glitter on the whole doily. It really gave it a nice effect.
Here is the inside of the card.
Here is a closeup of the inside top of the card. I cut another "doily" out of Cindy Loo and created the digi stamp sentiment.
Here is the bottom of the inside of the card. Ready for my personal sentiment to the recipient. I cut the cherries from the same title that I created.
Here's the recipe

- Colorbox Chalk Inks: Creamy Brown, Chestnut Roan, Maroon (Inked outer edge of outside doily and the white Outline of the title in Creamy brown for just the slightest grunge effect)Inked the patterned paper and inside white in the Chestnut Roan and the cherries in Maroon).
- Glitter: Martha Stewart coarse glitter( I covered the outside doily completely in this. It really gave it a great effect. Sorry the picture really doesn't convey this element).

Dinosaur Train Card
I made this card for my son's birthday. He just turned three years old. He loves trains all he talks about is Thomas last year I made him a Thomas card in SCAL. This year he also has a thing for dinosaurs. So I thought of combining both. I used the Create a Critter cart with my Gypsy, for the project. I think Create a Critter cart is a must have for parents with little ones.
Thomas on last year's card:
Dinosaur train card:
I used the Gypsy because I could hide portions of the images I did not want and to save paper. I hid the faces on the train and the sun, so that only the dinosaurs were smiling. Its also nice to hide other portions of the trains so that I didn't have to cut the same thing twice in two different colors.You can still cut the same card without the Gypsy though.
Sizes for the cuttings:
The card base is a folded 8 1/2 X 6 inch piece of cardstock
Patterned piece of paper is 4 X 5 3/4 inch
Palm trees (1 regular and 1 flipped) - 2 1/2 inches
Sun - 1 3/4 inches
Train - 1 3/4 inches, you will also need another train car cut at 2 inches
T-Rex - 2 1/2 inches
Brontosaurus - 2 1/2 inches.
Ink the edges for more definition.
Glue the trees and the sun flush onto the card but use pop-dots to pop up the train and dinosaurs.
I am sharing a quick card I made. Perfect for Father's Day. I think I will be giving this one to my brother.
So, as far as "Cricut"ing goes, there is only one element on here from our "bodacious bug". The branch die cut is from the Serenade cartridge. I cut it in brown cardstock and then put some Cinnamon Stickles on it. I designed the sentiment. That is the FREE digi stamp I referred to. Just sign up for my newsletter and I will send the link to download it in the newsletter. If you are reading this post after 3pm today, then just send me an email at:
melinda @ scrapbookeden (dot) com.
(Be sure to remove spaces and put a dot instead of spelling out dot-those naughty spammers :-(
For the rest of the card, I cuttlebugged the tan paper, ink distressed it. You really can't see in the picture but I inked the brown and moss paper edges with some gold. That gave it some nice character. Anyway, hope you like it. Quick, easy and ready to roll!

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted!
This is a project for an upcoming class. It's essentially the same as my previous Fox & Friends version but using about a 1/2 sheet of Print Patterns DSP. It holds six 3"x3" notecards and envelopes. The card design was cased from a very talented fellow demonstrator- Mary Fish. Thanks for the inspiration Mary!
I used the Ruby Red DSP which was in the Level 1 hostess pack from the 2009-2010 catalog. I also used the Fancy Flower Extra Large, Modern Label and 1-1/4" circle punches and the matching movers & shapers die to layer the Modern Label punchout. The Trendy Trees stamp set for the middle of the flowers.

Color Dare 34
I just love the Color Dare colors for this week!
Blush Blossom
Certainly Celery
Chocolate Chip
I knew this had to be a baby card, so I reached for one of my favorite sets, Bundled in Love. I used two different Cuttlebug embossing folders to give the card some depth. My corner rounder and eyelet border punch add a delicate touch. I sponged the edges of the image layer with Chocolate Chip and added the green rhinestone brads for a little bling. The Certainly Celery ribbon finishes off the project. Hope you like it!

Wednesday's Color Dare 37
It is Wednesday again and time to play the Color Dare! This week we were to use:
Elegant Eggplant
Pumpkin Pie
Creamy Caramel
These colors just screamed--Falling Leaves!!!
I really have fallen in love with this set. I used my new Finial Press embossing folder and sponged the layer with Creamy Caramel. I also sponged the edges of the leaf circles. Then, I used my new favorite product from Stampin' Up--Shimmer Paint. For this project I used the Champaign Mist. It adds just a little sparkle! Tie on the sweet Pumpkin Pie striped grosgrain ribbon and the Grateful sentiment punched from the Word Punch and layerd on a piece of Creamy Caramel punched with the Modern Label punch. Wa-la--a fall card! Hope you like it!!

BANNER CUT CHALLENGE
Good evening
Over at BBTB2 this week the wonderfully talented Beth from the DT chose the banner from Country Life cartridge . I don't have this cart so I chose the banner cut from Give A Hoot which has these lovely birds holding up a small banner and thought they would make a nice Christmas card. My card is very simple as I just used the cut as is, shadow ,base and layer. The card is DL in size (8 1/2x 3 1/2") and the base card is gold mirri card. I cut a layer of red glitter swirl card from DCWV Christmas Glitter card and pop dotted on to the base. My cuts are made at 2 1/2" as I like the 'off the card' look shadow in black, base in gold mirri and the birds are cut in white glitter card and pop dotted . I added pearls to the top of the banner,some black gems for eyes, white glitter letters and finally dangled some tiny bells from jump rings at the bottom of each of the banners (this was the harderst part of this card as I had to make the tiniest of holes to thread!).
As you know it's month end so some of my DT sisters are doing a blog hop so make sure to pop over to BBTB2 and follow the hop for some prizes along the way and feast your eyes on the gorgeous projects my DT sisters have created this week and as always we love to see your take on the challenge too!

6 (Happy Birthday)
For Bitten by the Bug this week, Regina asked us to use the present cut from Pooh and Friends. I also used this great Happy Birthday background stamp from The Cutting Cafe.
The "6" is from Alphalicious.
All cardstock is Prism. By the way, I was asked to be Guest Designer in October for Prism Cardstock. I LOVE their cardstock. If you have never tried it, you must. Besides all the beautiful colors, it also has a subtle texture that you can still stamp perfectly on it.

Bloom, Tulip Easel Card Cut File
Hi Everyone, well my birthday passed and I received some wonderful gifts, a gypsy which comes with Gypsy Wandering and Gypsy Fonts and since it was an HSN bundle it came with Destinations too, plus two lite cartridges, Bloom and Lacy Labels. For this card I used the Bloom Cartridge, it's such a great cartridge I highly recommend it.
I welded two 4 7/8 shadow tulip shapes together in Design Studio, (I wanted it to be slightly smaller then the actual front tulip). After cutting it out I folded it in half, the tulips should line up. I measured from the bottom of one side 2 1/4 and folded, this is where you will attach the front full layered tulip. For the front full layer I cut out all cuts of the tulip at 5". You can find the DS cut file here
Here is a side view of the card, you can see how the finished tulip is attached to the card.
And here is the front view not opened up.

ACY Best Friends Cut File
Hi everyone, I made another card for the Cricut Cartridge Challenge using A Child's Year. Created the card cutout in Design Studio, welded the boy and dog image to one of the card cuts. You just score 4.25" in from the left hand side for the card fold. For the sun I just used the inside piece of the tag and pop dotted a 1" circle on top of it. I used a white gel pen to outline around the best friends cut. I've added the cut file under the pictures. I used the cuttlebug embossing folder distressed stripes for the front.

Father's Day Card
Well, if any of you know me, you know that I always wait for the last minute to do anything. Yes, including making Father's Day cards for my dad and my two father-in-laws. :) Yes, I'm blushing. I can't help it! I do it all the time! Seems like I have no problem making a card unless I really need to. Well, I wanted to do something simple since they are guys and they won't appreciate ribbons and bows and such.
I used Give a Hoot to cut the moose out at 3 1/2". I don't suggest trying to cut in any smaller. I think the detailing starts to get a little sketchy. :) I used all SU papers, PTI die and stamp. Chocolate Chip ink was used as well as the tea dye duo from PTI.
Simple. Manly. Success? I think so.

Cute as a bug!
Hi everyone! I hope you're all having a good weekend so far! Today I have a card for you using the Stretch Your Imagination cartridge. I used the card feature for this cute little bug and cut it at 6 1/2" along with the black frame which is also cut at 6 1/2". Then I cut the corresponding layer at 4 3/4". The layers aren't sized to match the top of the card, but to match the actual plain cut. So, I just measured the stalk of grass on the card and cut it out, hoping it was the right size, and it was! I changed it up a little by punching a scalloped edge on the right side of the front of the card and layering it with a black scallop. I used the Stampin' Up! stamp "Cute as a bug!" from the set Bugs & Kisses. I cut out all the words separately and popped them up with some dimensionals. I added some rhinestones and pen stitching. Maybe I think maybe I got a little carried away with the details on this card, but sometimes I don't know when to stop, lol! Thanks for looking! :)
Happy Birthday Note Card!
Hi everyone! I just have a simple Happy Birthday note card for you today.
I used Create a Critter for the word "Birthday". It's the shift function on the phrase key, and it's cut at 3/4" on real-dial size. The stamp sets I used are from Stampin' Up! and they are Sweet Scoops and Rough Type Alpha.

Just Dream...
I everyone! Today I have a butterfly card for you. I used Wild Card for the card base, which is cut at 3 3/4", and I used Indie Art for the butterflies, which are cut at 2" and 1 1/4". I sprayed some of Stampin' Up!'s new Smooch Spritz (Log Cabin) on the card base and then adhered a black circle over the top, so only the spritzed, scalloped edges were showing, and then I just stitched around the circle with a Signo white gel pen. Then I inked the edges of the butterflies and glued only their bodies to the front, so that their wings could move freely. Then finally, I stamped Just Dream on the front with some Whisper White Craft Ink. Thanks for visiting! :)
Mouse & Cheese Basket!
Hi everyone! Hope you're having a great Friday, it's almost the weekend, wahoo! Today I did something a little different, I made a basket! I used Create a Critter for the mouse and cheese. The mouse is cut at 4" and the cheese is cut at 3 3/4". On the sides of the basket I used the circles that were left over from the top layer of the cheese cut and glued those on and then used a white gel pen to draw stitch lines around the outer edges. I also did the stitch lines on the handle as well. The handle is punched on both sides with the Stampin' Up! Scallop Border Punch and then layered with a strip of black and two tiny strips of pink on either side of the black. All handle pieces are 11" long. For the basket, I took an 8.5" x 11" piece of black cardstock and scored at 2 3/4" in on all four sides. Then I cut on the outside score lines that are parallel to the shortest side, so that I would have flaps to fold in and glue. After that, just glue the cheese on each end, pop up your mouse with some dimensionals, and you're all done! Thanks so much for looking! :)
Gypsy Cupcake!
Hi everyone! Today I have a Gypsy card for you! The most recent update is awesome, they added a hide contour feature! I made the green background for this card using Gypsy Wanderings. I lined up a bunch of little circles to make the shape on the bottom, right hand side. I also used my Gypsy for the cupcake. I used a ruler and a Chocolate Chip Stampin' Write Marker to make 2 lines down each side of the green piece as well. For the sentiment I used Sweet Scoops and two Stampin' Write Markers to color it, so that "sweet" was in pink.
Thanks for looking! :)
I got the inspiration for the card from a card map from www.pagemaps.com. Feel free to join in if you'd like. Just post a link to your card in the comments! :)

Thanks a Melon
Don't you just love that saying? Thanks a Melon? :) Yep. I sure do. This card is so bright and cheery. Reminds me of juicy watermelon and summertime. Maybe for someone who helped with the yard? Or invited us over for a BBQ? I don't know just yet. hehe. But I know it will come in handy.
The card is from Just Because Cards and was cut at 5 3/4". I cut all the layers with scraps I had lying around. It was so easy to put together. Can I just say how much I love this cartridge? I really do. I ran "Thanks a" through the Cuttlebug for some added texture and inked the edges of everything.
Thanks for stopping by and have a goodie!

Hi There - Using Walk In My Garden Cartridge
I made today's card using the "Card Feature" on the Walk in My Garden Cricut cartridge. It was cut at 4" along with all coordinating pieces with PAPER SAVER on.
I ran the front of the card through the Cuttlebug using the Swiss Dots folder for some added interest. Papertrey Ink's ribbon was used. All paper was scraps. Don't you love making something out of your scraps?! I do. Then I don't feel like I'm wasting so much.

Whatever!
Hello everyone! Today I used another cartridge that I just got, Graphically Speaking! It has some really cute stuff on it! Can you believe all these classics that I've been missing out on? Lol! This is more of a masculine (boy) card, so I stayed away from anything frilly or sparkly...which is hard for me to do. I cut the smiley face at 2 3/4" and the "whatever!" at 3/4". Doesn't the smiley look like the Wal-Mart guy...but with hair? Haha! I used the Tiny Bubbles embossing folder on the blue background and finished off with some faux stitching.
Thanks for looking! :)

Thinking of you.
Hi everyone! Today I have a 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" square card for you. I used Graphically Speaking for the flower, but instead of using the cut, I used the negative image that it left behind. The flower itself was cut at 2 1/2" and the whole white piece is cut at 3" x 3". I used the Stampin' Up! A to Z mini background stamp for the letters behind the flower and Teeny Tiny Wishes for the "thinking of you" sentiment. I used the Word Window Punch to punch out the sentiment, and just cut off one end so it would line up evenly with the side of the white piece. The card base is embossed using the Stampin' Up! Square Lattice Embossing Folder. I finished it off with a button tied with some twine!
Thanks for looking! :)

So Cool!
I've definitely been in a summery mood lately. I'm loving all of this warm weather! We've been camping and it was SO HOT! I thought I'd do a card to "cool off". :) I used Once Upon A Princess for the ice cream cone and the gem behind it. Cutting was a little tricky with this one. I selected 4" for my cut because I wanted the entire thing to be that tall. Little did I know I'd end up with a 4" cone! So I fiddled a bit and ended up cutting everything at 2". I think it's perfect. Thanks for stopping by and I hope this one gets you in the summer mood too! :) Have a goodie!

Friend Tag
Hi everyone! Today I wanted to try something I've never done before, and that's to make a tag. I see so many people make such pretty, vintage tags and I've always wanted to try one. So, this is my first attempt! I used Accent Essentials to cut out the flower petals and then distressed them. I crumpled, inked, inked some more, stamped and sprayed them with Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz. After that I glued them all together and put a button in the center. The butterflies are cut from Stampin' Up!'s Beautiful Wings Embosslit die. I inked them and sprayed them with Smooch Spritz as well, then I glued just the center of their bodies down, so it would look like they were flying. I used Old Olive Satin Ribbon for the top of the tag and left a loop so it can easily hang somewhere. To finish it off I just added a few rhinestones. I really enjoyed making this tag so I will definitely be doing more in the future!
Thanks for looking! :)

Thanks for Owl You Do
For today's card I wanted to do something super simple. I think that my problem a lot of the time is not knowing when to stop. I just keep adding and adding until it's a jumbled mess. I tried to keep everything to a minimum. I stamped the base of the card using Papertrey Ink's Background Basics stamp set in Woodgrain with Versamark. Love it! I cut the owl out at 3 1/2" and used designer paper for the belly, feet, and beak. I used SU! stamp set for the cute little saying and punched it out with the Word Window Punch. Finished the baby off with a little ribbon from WM and tied twine to hold it in place. A little white gel pen stitching and I'm done!
Sorry the pictures are so bad. I made this about 2 in the morning and the lighting was horrible. :) Promise next time it will be better. Have a goodie!!
