Throwback Thursday Color Challenge Challenge

Hello! Coming in at the last minute (again!) with another challenge! This is for the Throwback Thursday Challenge over at My Creative Time. My Gypsy is broken, and it took me forever to make a card with my Cricut without my Gypsy! So...that is why the layers on this are pretty simple!!! Anyway, here is what I made:

And here is the color challenge. Cute, isn't it? 

I used what I hope counts as an older cartridge by now - Love you a Latte - to cut out the chairs, and the kraft fancy frame. 

Inked the edges of everything with Tim Holtz distress ink, and ran the kraft paper through my Cuttlebug.  

The blue and green paper are from October Afternoon, and the sentiment frame was cut using one of Emma's early dies. The sentiment is also from Emma's stamps - from her last release, Celebrate Good Times.

I used foam adhesive to attach the chair, and the sentiment piece. 

And finished off by wrapped some jute twine from Ribbon Carousel around several times, and tying a nice loopy bow! 

It ends tonight, so there is still a little time for this challenge - and the winner takes home her entire new release coming later this week! And the sneaks are ADORABLE!!! So run over and join in soon if you have some time today!

Pumpkin Spice Latte Birthday Card!

I am still having so much fun with the Love You a Latte cartridge - and here is what I was able to create today:

It is for several different challenge, the first one the sketch challenge over on the Cricut Circle blog. Here is the sketch:

I am also enterering it in the Anything Goes challenge at The Cuttlebug Spot, as well as the Tea Time Challenge at Getting Cricky with K Andrews (I am hoping this is close enough, since a few of her design teams creations used coffee instead of tea!)

For my card, I used Love You A Latte to cut the heart in the background, as well as the cup and steam, and ran them through my Cuttlebug using my PTI linen impression plate. Instead of putting the heart on the cup, I used a little pumpkin from Disney Happily Ever After.

I inked the edges of everything, including the doily with Tim Holtz distress ink.

The tag is cut from Sentimentals with a sentiment from Scrappy Mom's stamps. 

I added a tiny it of PTI twine with the tag as well.

And that's it! I'm so happy with how this one came out!!!



Love you a Latte!

So, my husband is a COMPLETE coffee addict, and when Cricut came out with the cartridge Love You a Latte, I knew I had to have it eventually. I have been stalking it and waiting to be able to get it, and to be able to get a good deal on it - since late spring! The time finally came last week, so I broke it open and made a card for my hubby - to let him know how much I love him!

It is pretty simple! I just made a 5x5 card base, cut all the layers out at 5 inches, ran them all through my Cuttlebug with my PTI linen impression plate, and added some stitching and doodling to finish it off.

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you have a wonderful week!
