Ice Cream Card


I am so proud of this card!!!  I had an overwhelming sense of accomplishment when I finished this project.  I made this card for Fantabulous Cricut's Challenge Me Monday Contest.  The challenge was to make a project incorporating ice cream, cold drinks or just any cool treat.  It took me a couple days to get it right but I finally got it finished up last night and so I wanted to share it with you all today!!!
I started with a 5.5"x8.5" piece of card stock folded in half for the base of my card.  It was a piece of brown from The Paper Company's Natural Fashion Colors value pack.  Then I cut a piece of dark orange from the same pack at 5 1/4" x 4" and used it for my first layer on the card.  I attached it using my ATG gun.
Then I used a piece of paper from DCWV Animal Crackers matstack and cut the bowl.  The bowl is from the Cricut cartridge "Create a Critter" and I cut it at 3" using the real dial size button.  Also from this cartridge I cut the banana at 2.5" using the real dial size button.  The scoops of ice cream I cut using the "Stretch Your Imagination" cartridge and I cut them at 1.5" and the cherry was cut proportional to them.  They were all cut using The Paper Company's Fashion Colors value packs, Natural, Pastels and Earth's Garden.
I used mono-adhesive to attach the cherry to the ice cream and then ice cream and banana to the bowl.  Then I used some 3D-Dots to attach the whole thing to the card.
I took the leftover piece of paper from cutting the bowl and cut it into a 5 1/4"x 1 3/4" strip and place it just a little bit away from the top of the dark orange paper using my ATG gun.  I ran a piece of blue Grosgrain ribbon where the strip of paper and the dark orange meet to break it up and incorporate the blue from the bowl into the rest of the card.  I used a mono-adhesive to attach the green scoop of ice cream to the card and then used a "My Pink Stamper" stamp from her "Birthday Crazy" pack for the "It's your day!"  

Again I absolutely love the way this card turned out!!!  It was a great feeling to challenge my creativeness and succeed, whether I win the challenge or not, I'm really proud of myself!!!!  I'm looking forward to some new challenges!!!
Happy Crafting!!!!

Danger ATC

This is an Artist Trading Card (ATC) that I created for the Diemond Dies' Design Team Call.  The background is a couple different mixed media techniques, mod podging tissue paper with lots of wrinkles in it and then stamping on top of it.  Then I used some Shimmerz Texturez to add even more texture and then some gray gesso is added in there too. I used some corrugated cardboard to add some texture and then I used the Tim Holtz Tattered Banners Die and Bat & Skull dies for my embellishments.   On the bat I covered it with haematite Inka Gold, buffed it and then adhered it with 3-D Dots.  The skull I gessoed, colored it with my Faber Castell Big Brush Pens and then used some Shimmerz Texturez to put the "cracks" on it. This is one of my favorite ATCs that I have ever made.  I hope you enjoyed it too!! Happy Crafting!!!!

Frisky Melon!!

 I made this card for the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog's Challenge Me Monday Contest!!  Yay!!  I started with a piece of pink cardstock cut at 5 1/2"x 8 1/2" and folded it in half for the base of my card.  This was from one of The Paper Company's value packs.  Then I cut a piece of black cardstock, also from The Paper Company, at 5 1/4"x 4" and used it as my first layer.  I attached this using my ATG gun. For my second layer I cut a piece of paper from the Colorbok Pattern Pack at 5"x 3 3/4".  I then wrapped a piece of grosgrain ribbon around it and secured it in the back using regular tape.  Then I attached the whole thing using my ATG gun.   I cut the watermelon at 4" using the "Stretch Your Imagination" cartridge with my Cricut Expression.  I used a black, pink and green paper, all were from The Paper Company value packs.  I attached it to the card using 3D-Dots. Then to finish off this card I added a My Pink St
