A cat card

This is the first thing I made to hang on the tree I just made for the coming Lunar New Year (and for MPS challenge). This year is a cat year where I live. I like how it shows up, but I should have stamped the sentiment a little up high in the corner.

It is an A2 card. I cut the cat at 3'' out of the Create a Critter cartridge. The mat and the cat were cuttlebugged using Swiss Dots and D'vine Swirls embossing folders respectively. Martha Punch was used for the border of the mat. The ribbon is from Papertreyink.

Two birthday cards

I made these two cards for 2 friends of mine's daughters. One likes pandas; the other is often kiddingly called Fox.

Cartridges used are Create a Critter (for the panda and the phrase), Give a Hoot (for the fox, flower, and the paw border) and Life is a Beach (for bamboo).
Panda: 2'', Happy birthday: 1''
Bamboo: 3''
Fox: 2'', flower bush: 2''
Have a happy birthday: My Pink Stamper
The panda card mat was embossed with Seeing the Spots folder; the fox card mat, Spots and Dots.

A crab card

I made this for one of my friends' 3-year-old son who is in the hospital for a serious illness. I intended to make a whale card with the phrase Get Whale Soon, but the sentiment stamp sets are on their way to reach me. I changed to this with hope that he will get to play with his friends soon.

The crab is from Create a Critter, cut at 2''3/4, the phrase at 1''. The water border was cut using Give a Hoot cartridge.

Frog cards

My daughter is a member of a kindergarten's class called Green Frogs, so I have been looking for cartridges with (a) frog(s) on it. I just made these two for her.

The first frog is from Create a Critter; the second one, Give a Hoot. Both were cut at 2''1/2. So were the lotus leaves. I used the shadow for the front of the second card.

Hope you like them

4-season cards

Hello,

I tried making the autumn card first. And then the idea of doing the other 3 season cards came across my mind. Here are the results.

Spring and summer cards

Autumn and winter cards

Spring card:
Cartridges used: Stretch your imagination for the phrase (1''3/4) and the bird (3''), Give a hoot for the branch (1''1/2)

Summer card:
Cartridges used: Stretch your imagination for the bike (2''3/4), Create a Critter for the sun (1''1/2), Plantin Schoolbook for the grass (1''3/4)

Autumn card:
Cartridges used: Stretch your imagination for the tree and leaves (2''3/4) and the phrase (1''1/2), Give a hoot for the grass (1''1/4). There are 3 tulips in the grass, but I cut them off. I should have placed the dark green grass on the light green one so that it has the feel of autumn.

Winter card:
Cartridges used: Stretch your imagination for all. Card and frame: 4'', snowflakes: 1'' and 2''.

I might have listed some wrong measurements 'cause I did from memory. I will note them more systematically from now on.

Happy Thursday.

Fishbowl card

Hi,

I made this with an intention of using a ribbon with it, but ended up gluing everything together forgetting tying the ribbon.

My first card for a challenge

I got my Cricut 5 days ago, made some "test" cards and now decided to take part in one of the challenges at The Pink Stamper. It is a color challenge: make a card or a layout using 3 colors: steal or blue, green and brown.

I used the Create a Critter cartridge. The hippo was cut at 2''1/4; water, 1''3/4; grass, 1''3/4.
