Thank you card for Cricut Cardz Challenge

Hi all you crafty people.  Today I made a card for the Cricut Cardz Challenge.  This card had a recipe to follow:
1. Blue, Yellow and White
2. A thank you card
3. A border cut from any cricut cartridge
I have seen several joy fold cards, but I had never made one so I thought that this was a good time to try one.  This card is rectangular but the folds open bottom to top not side to side.  I actually tried to film  while I was making the card, but after three quarters of the card was done my husband came around the corner calling me.  Oh well just as well cause THE CAMERA WAS NOT TURNED ON!!! Phooey.
OK so I thought I would make another card similar and film that one.  I shut the camera off to get something instead of just editing that part out so guess what. Now I have two videos and I don't know how to put them together.  Well I will get one eventually.  This is a learning process for me.  So back to the card.  I like the way it came out. What do you think?

Base cut at 5 1/2 x 7 1/4 scored at 4 1/4

center card 4 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 2 3/4

Mats are from scraps and cut 1/4 smaller

Ribbon from Michaels

Boarder cut from Elegant Cakes stretched to 5 1/2 on my gypsy

Scalloped circles cut at 3, 2 3/4

Circle at 2 1/2

Well that's all for now.  Hope you like it.
See you later....................play nice

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge 50 Cricut Cardz Challenge 65

Good Sunday morning everybody.  It sure is a beautiful one here in Florida.  Will reach 80s today.  Wow, I just made it to the Challenge me Monday #50 over at  Fantabulous Cricut Challenge to use a tree in your project.  Can't believe it is almost Monday again.  Crafting everyday but I have been working on my blog hop project so I haven't posted since Friday.  Happy to say it is finished!!!  OK back to today's card.  This is also being entered at Cricut Cardz Challenge 65, make a tall card.  I don't make too many of these but some themes seem to lend themselves to this size card.  I like the way it came out. What do you think?

Recipe:

Card is 9x4

I made the background by masking and using a cloud shape and pigment ink.

Sand is brown cardstock torn at top

All cuts from Life is a beach

Tree cut at 6 1/2

Chair cut at 3

Pineapple drink cut at 1

I actually colored the small areas of the drink as the pieces were so small to cut.

I haven't done the inside sentiment yet cause it could be used for several different occasions.  Birthday, Father's Day etc.  Hope you like it. 

See Ya later....................play nice

Wednesday Challenge Bookmark

Hi everyone. 
Thought I would make a simple bookmark for the Cricut Cardz Challenge #64 this week.  I got this paperstack last week at Joanns and it is some of the prettiest paper I have seen by  K&Company.  I believe it is their garden collection. 104 pieces including tags and borders along with beautiful papers, many with foil.  The one I used actually has some foil accents but they don't show up as well in a picture. I found the biggest challenge here was photographing the project.  Bookmarks need books.  Here is mine.

Recipe:

TBBM cartridge Row 1, Key 7

and

Row 3, Key 6 (flower tag)

I welded them together and sized it at 6.32.

I hid all the tag holes

Green cardstock from Stampin UP.

I cut two full tags, One in dsp and one in cardstock. 

Martha Stewart punch on the dsp. 

Three additional flowers cut at 2.41, 2 and 1.5 to layer

I curled the flowers around a pencil, punched holes in all layers and attached with a brad.

Finally a little stitching along the green edge

Well you can see I like "chick" books.  I have to be honest, I haven't started this book yet.  My BF gave me three of her books to read.   READ...........who has time to read with all this blogging.  Besides when it is 83 outside, I don't want to be inside reading.

This was fun.  Have to search for some more challenges, so I will probably be back later after I mow the lawn.

See Ya............play nice
