Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog DT Challenge #264: Anything Goes!

Welcome to another Challenge Me Monday at FCCB!!!

Challenge #264 Anything Goes

This Weeks Sponsor:   Diana Martin of  leeleecarddesigns.blogspot.com!

The prize for this challenge is CTMH August stamp of the month set called "Framed".  It's a $17.95 value, D-size & coordinates with the new Artistry cartridge!

To qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least 1 Cricut cut on your project and if it's not obvious, let us know what cartridge you used. If you use a Cricut Explore machine, at least one cut must be from the Cricut catalog of images.

And, if you submit a project in our challenge that isn't a card, you will get two entries for a chance to win the prize instead of one!

This is my project...an explosion box for a friend, who got married recently:

I used foiled and regular patterned paper for the cuts...I used Mini Books and CTMH Artiste Cricut cartridges.

I made some alterations to the cake box in the center, though...I made it shorter by trimming the sides down:

Here's are the pages for photos:

I printed a Bible verse for the top flap and a label for the bottom one - with their names and the wedding date:

I added some embellishments (dimensional stickers) and decorated the "cake" and the lid with flowers and/or dimensional sticker.

I was inspired by the colors and the flowers...so, I started with a panel I sprayed with purple ink. I stamped a texture stamp with blue ink and blended blue gel stick (aka Gelatos for kids) using a wet wipe.
I cut flourish using Cricut and heat embossed it in silver. I also cut daisies in different sizes, scored and bent the petals, layered, and added gel stick and glitter glue for the centers.

Finally, I stamped sentiment on a banner, adhered it on card and added sequins.

Thanks for stopping by!

Decorate to Celebrate DT Challenge #108: Fall Cricut Garland

Hello, crafty friends!

It's time for Decorate to Celebrate! You can create anything 3-D for a chance to win a prize from Rhonda!

My sons painted some pumpkins and we used the leftover paint on some paper from IKEA.

After it dried, I cut leaves from my Artiste Cricut cartridge (and hand-cut some others).
I braided 2 yards of yarn.
Then, I simply stapled the leaves on.

I really liked how it turned out...simple and rustic...
