Masculine Birthday Twisted Easel Card

Hi! It seems I am needing a few birthday cards! For this one, I made a twisted easel card following Mary's great tutorial at Cardz TV.

Cricut Cartridges:

Nifty Fifties

Truck on page 61 cut 2".

Hwy sign on page 38 cut 3 1/2" and again 3 1/4" because this cut does not have a shadow. The two sizes are not perfect together but it is ok!

Diamond shape mat on page 69 cut 2 1/2"

Wild Card

Celebrate on page 59 cut 4 1/4"

It's Your Day on page 38 cut 7"

I handcut the mat for sentiment "celebrate". Brads are from The Paper Studio. Do you like the wheels! Martha Stewart inking. The truck and sentiment mats are pop-dotted. Solid papers are from my stash!

Challenges:

Celebrate the Occasion - Ch# 26 Birthday- must be an easel card

Birthday Sundaes - Ch# 22 All About Brads (at least 3) Birthday wording on front.

Cards For Men - Ch# 27 Anything Goes

The Paper Variety - Ch#48 - Travel or Transportation

Hope you enjoy this card!

Nate's ABCs - Bunny Rabbit



I have seen really cute cards made using Cricut Nate's ABCs cartridge, so I had to join in on the fun! For my first cut using this cartridge, I am using the rabbit for an Easter card for my grandson. The card is 5 x 6 1/2 and is layered with plaid paper. The rabbit and all the layers are cut at 3 inches. This is found on page 34. For the mats, I used Font 1 shift key on page 50. The cream mat is 4 inches. There is no shadow cut so I cut the green mat at 4 1/4. Not quite perfect but it works ok.  The Cuttlebug folder Houndstooth was used on the cream mat. Lots of inking and the mats are pop dotted on the card. The Martha Stewart Bunny Hop edge punch was bought on clearance last year and has been waiting to be used. I punched the edge of the brown paper and then scored it with the Martha Stewart scoreboard. I am pleased with the results. A couple of corner punches and my card is finished!

Challenges:

Fantabulous Cricut - #56 Do the Bunny Hop - bunny or a chick

Cards for Men - #8 Easter

Cooking With Cricut - #26 Easter

Hope you enjoy my card! Your comments are always appreciated!
