CWC Challenge #107, I Feel the Love Project

Today's post is a card I made for the latest I Feel the Love Project over at Madison's blog, Funky Cards. For October, she will be collecting Thanksgiving cards to send to the elderly men and women who reside at the Surrey Place Care Center in Florida.  You can read more about the project and how you can help out by making a card, here.

Here is my card, I used my Imagine and the Enjoy the Seasons cartridge.  This is my go-to cartridge lately.  It has so many great images on it!  I also used The Spring Chic cartridge for the orange chevron paper.  This card was created using the latest Mojo Monday sketch.

Thanks for stopping by today!!  I hope you are able to participate in this challenge this week, you can link up your card here at the Cooking with Cricut blog.

Cooking with Cricut, I Feel the Love Project

It's time for another I Feel the Love Project with Cooking with Cricut.   For this months challenge, Madison has tasked us with making cards for a wonderful organization called Casa Pacifica.  You can read more about the challenge and the organization at Madison's blog.  We are making cards for all the kids for their annual Halloween party.  The task is to make something fun, but not scary.  Whenever I think of Halloween, I mostly think of crisp, fall days and pumpkins!  Fall is my favorite season, hands down.  Living here in the midwest all my life, it is truly a joy to watch fall come and the beautiful colors all around.

So here is my card for the challenge.  I used the Imagine Enjoy the Seasons cartridge for the leaves and the pumpkin.  The swirl is from a die I have and all the paper is DCWV Halloween and Fall stack.  The Happy Halloween stamp is from Stampin UP, Teeny Tiny Wishes.  I also used this weeks Mojo Monday sketch to create this card.  Madison has a goal of creating 70 cards and she already has a bunch linked on her website.  I made two of these cards to send, hopefully you will join us and send some as well!

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to hop over to the Cooking with Cricut blog to enter in your card.

Dad's Day Card

Hi all! Well summer is definitely here!  These last few weeks have been so fun with the kids that I haven't had any time to sit in my craft room and do some crafting.  Luckily, the kids are at VBS mornings this week and I've had some time to finish up Ava's invitations for her birthday along with get some Father's Day cards made.  I saw this adorable card on pinterest the other day from the Papered Cottage and I wanted to make my own version of it.  I started by going to mycutsearch.com and looking up "tie" in the search tool. I found a bunch of options but the one that looked good to me was the one from the Designer's Calendar cartridge.  I didn't have the other carts that some of them came on so this one was it.  I then went to look at some of my scraps for some "manly" colors and this is what I came up with.  The letters stamps are CTMH and the Happy Father's Day is Stampin UP!

I made two versions, one with the hearts and another without...

 ...without

 Both together.

Thanks for stopping by!

I thought it would be nice to honor him with a post and showcase a birthday card!  I wanted to create a birthday card using my small banner stamps from Pink Persimmon.  I pulled up this sketch on Thursday night and just knew I had to create something based on it!  I just love it.  It has so much dimension to it and it called for my favorite thing, twine!  Here is the card I created:
