I think we're already reaching a record, for the number of projects shared in one week. And it's only Thursday. We have more coming, on both Friday and Saturday. The designers had so much fun using their Cricut products, that we ended up with tons and tons of projects to share with you. Today is all about cards. And each of the cards featured this morning, were created with the help of the Cuttlebug machine.
Flower card, by Wendy Wagner. Wendy used a fun mix of colorful flowers to create this simple card. She used three of the chipboard flowers from Bella's Sophisticates collection, and one of Bella's Baby Blooms-A-Bella flowers.
Wendy used the Houndstooth embossing folder, to add some interest to her card base. After embossing the front of her card, she lightly went over the raised parts with some distressing ink, and then aslo inked the edges of her card.
"Thank You" card, by Sheri Feypel. Sheri used the Polka Dots embossing folder for her card base. I love the look of the embossed dots on white cardstock. It's so simple and timeless.
Sheri also used the Rose/Carnation quilling kit to create this fabulous flower from some pink pattern paper from Bella's Sophisticates collection. Aren't all those layers just gorgeous? Her leaves for the flower, were also created with this same quilling kit.
"Thank You" tag, by Morgan Bandkowski. Morgan created this fun little "Thank You" tag, using the Chyrsanthemum quilling kit. Another gorgeous flower, in pink, that has lots of dimension to it. Morgan also used pattern paper and letter stickers from Bella's Sophisticates collection.
"Life Is Good", by Morgan Bandkowski. Morgan used the Victoria embossing folder, to emboss the kraft cardstock piece, before wrapping some thread around it. She choose a warm yellow and brown color scheme, using a yellow pattern paper from Bella's Sophisticates collection. She also took apart a Bella-A-Bloom flower, and used a few of the layers to tuck behind the kraft piece, before adding her sticker sentiment.
"You Did It" card, by Morgan Bandkowski. Morgan used the Fanciful Labels embossing plus plates, to create the label for her sentiment. She added interest to it, using some distressing ink after she embossed and cut it.The "Make Everyday Memorable" piece, is from Bella's Sophisticates collection, Tall Tags paper. and I really like how the folded back petals on the Bella's Baby Blooms-A-Bella flowers looks.
"Life Is Wonderful", by Morgan Bandkowski. Morgan used the Iron Works Borders embossing folder, to emboss the scroll design on the sides of her card. The "Life is Wonderful" piece, is from the Bella's Sophisticates collection, Tall Tags paper.
