Cricut Cardz Challenge #99 - Happy New Year Card

Hello Crafty Friends,

Happy 2012!! Hoping your new year has started off wonderful & full of life's blessings!! For today's project I wanted to make another quick & simple card. I am trying to get back in the swing of things when it comes to my crafting. So for now my cards have a little bit more of a simple design to them. I made this card for the challenge over at Cricut Cardz Challenge #99 - "Make a Happy New Card."  You could use any colors or any cartridges you want for this project. While I kept my card very simple and with no patterned paper.  I did want to add some texture to the all white background.  So I decided to use my Martha Stewart Score Board for a little more interest. Here are all the details of my card.

Cartridges Used:
Straight from the Nest: (Happy w/shadow @ 2.10")
Kate's ABC: (2012 w/shadow @ 1.45")
Wild Card: (Stars @ 1.50" & 1.0")

Other Items:
Solid Cardstock - Recollections (White, Silver & Black)

Martha Stewart Score Board
Xyron Machine
Martha Stewart Glitter - Sterling
Corner Rounder Punch

Well I hope you enjoyed my card and thanks for stopping by to see my latest creation.

Hugs,
Diana

Cricut 360 - Challenge #12 - Native American Day

Hi everyone and Happy Friday!

I am so happy that the weekend is finally here, I look forward to it all week long!!  First, there is always the wonderful challenges over at Cricut 360 to look forward to. If you haven't stopped by yet, please make sure to drop on by and play along with us.  As for the rest of the weekend, some very much needed rest and as much crafting as I can squeeze in.  Although, no matter how much I try to squeeze in........it's never enough!!  I am sure many of you can relate. But anyway, it's here now so lets jump right into the weekend :0)   Okay, so for this week's challenge over Cricut 360 you had to make a card or layout with any Cricut cartridge and the theme is celebrating Native American Day.  I immediately knew which cartridge I was going to use. I have been eagerly wanting to play with the "Thanksgiving Cartridge " ever since I bought it earlier this year.  I am so happy that I finally got to use it:0) So here are all the details of my super simple card.

Card size is: 6x6

Cart used: Thanksgiving Seasonal Cartridge

Solid cardstock: Recollections

Patterned Paper: DCWV "Autumn Splendor

Amber Colored Rhinestones

This was super easy to make and I really love the images on here. I am definitely planning on using this cart again...perhaps a layout this time.  So stay tuned for that ;0) 

So now it's your turn to show us your interpretation of this challenge.  Again, any cartridge you want to use is fine.  I hope my project has inspired you and don't forget to check out the rest of the DT ladies.  There is plenty of inspiration along the way.

Crafty Hugs,
