Winter Mobile

Here is another card!

This is a mobile which is extremely easy to make and very versatile. I was going to work on a Christmas in July or favorite holiday challenge, but got distracted and created this card. I love the snowflakes (p. 50) on the Potpourri cartridge. If you wanted to change your mobile piece you could hang presents, birds, hearts, or almost anything else depending on your mood or the season.

I used the Wild Card cartridge (stitched on p. 35) for the frame, but you could create any shape for the "window" by using a craft knife. I hung the snowflake with white thread. I pierced a hole with a sewing needle to keep it small and framed the inside to cover the glued thread.

Let me know if you have every created a mobile card. I would love to see your pictures.

Made by Momo "Love" Challenge

This week's challenge at Made by Momo is to make a project of what "Love" means to you. You can also just do a "Love" themed card or layout.

I created a layout of my son and his love for music. He owns numerous guitars and is always looking for the next one. The first picture is at Christmas when he received his acoustic. The second picture was taken during a visit to the Georgia Music Hall of Fame (We live in Florida, so this was just a day trip.).

I used metallic blue paper for the background and the pattern paper is from the RockStar stack by DCWV. The guitar was cut from the Potpourri cartridge at 4". The hearts were cut from Plantin Schoolbook at various sizes.

Christmas/Snowman Challenge

I live in Florida and the weather has been extremely HOT, so to create a Christmas card or think about a snowman gives me an opportunity to COOL off (at least to pretend I am cooling down).  I created a "Happy Holidays" card for three different challenges:

Cricut Cardz Challenge: Challenge #32 is Christmas in July

Cardz Tv: Christmas in July #2 with a "Snowman" theme

Paper Cutz Challenge: Challenge #49 Christmas project, but no red or green

I used dark blue card stock for the base, which was created at 9" from Celebration. I then layered a few pieces of light blue pattern papers. I layered two different types of ribbon in the center with a small bow on the side. I cut my 4" snowman from Potpourri. His buttons are silver gems. I made the snow by tearing the edges of white card stock. The sign was created the same way with brown card stock, and the sentiment was typed on Microsoft Word.   

I would love comments!

Throwback Thursday Challenge ~ 58

This week's challenge at My Creative Time with Emma is to create ANYTHING using a "BABY" theme. I do not own the New Arrival cartridge, but I did find appropriate images on the Potpourri cartridge. I created a Baby Shower card.
