Flourish and Flakes

I made this card with two challenges in mind:

Christmas Card Challenges - Week 7 - Flourishes


Fantabulous Cricut - Challenge Me Monday #94 - Snow Fun

I cringed all the way through this card. I just finished with Christmas and now, well here it is again. I have anxiety issues from all you other bloggers. I am never starting my cards in time and visiting everyone's pages I get reminded that I'm behind. Well hopefully with all your reminders and inspiration I can get through another year of crafting.

I made this card using Cricut cartridge 'Celebrate With Flourish' and used my Cuddlebug embossing folder for some added flourish for the background. I cutout the bow and added my own to go along with the Snow Fun challenge; which was to use a snow flake or snowman or woman (equal opportunity crafter here) Seeing that I had already cast Christmas aside for now, I tried to fool myself by using non traditional colours. I am yet to stamp the inside, but somethings can wait till we get through summer.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to visit, please take a second to click one of my adds so I can offer blog candy in the near future. I appreciate you stopping by and all the comments.

Christmas is only 342 days away, I hope you enjoy my card,

Who Wants to Skate?

I was commissioned by my Mom to make cards for my sisters skating coaches. Here is what I came up with.

Enjoy,

Colin

I used Cricut Cartridges:

Jolly Holidays - Girl
Create a Critter - Pond

This is another Tag card. I cut two tags to make a card.

This was made with: Celebrate With Flourish

The first card I have entered in Fantabulous Cricut: Challenge me Monday #90

• Ribbons are such a wonderful way to add detail to your Cricut creations. Whether you are making a card, designing a scrapbook layout, or creating an item to decorate your home, ribbon can be just the right embellishment to finish things off. This week, we are challenging you to use ribbon on your projects. 

The second card I have entered in Bitten by the Bug 2: Winter Frolic Tag Challenge

• The challenge was to make a Tag using Winter Frolic.

I don't have that cartridge so I improvised.

Halloween Cards!

This will be my first post, how exciting! I am new to paper crafts, and only recently bought my Cricut Create. I am slowly building my cartridge collection, and don't have a lot, but it is growing everyday (well not eeeveryday, but it's growing) I got Wild Card in the mail today so I got to play with my new cartridge. 
Being a gloomy day, I decided to make three Halloween cards. I will be sending these cards off to my three pen pals. Time is running out so I will have to get them in the mail soon. Till then I will share my creations. Enjoy!

Card #1

 This card I made for CRICUT 360º’s Spooky  Halloween Blog Hop!

This card was made using Cricut Cartridge Wild Card. I bought this cartridge after seeing another blogger used the argyle card, I think I will be using this card a lot! The Halloween stamp I picked up at Micheal's in their dollar bin.

Card #2

This card was also made with Cricut Cartridge Wild Card and has the same stamp as above. I love owls, though this guy was lacking detail, I tried to spice him up a bit by rubbing soft pastel on the edges and cut outs.

Card # 3

This card was made with Cricut Cartridge Celebrate with Flourish. I love this cartridge, but hate the time it takes to put all the pieces together. I have left the inside blank and will fill it in with my own note.
