SNS New Release Bunnies

 Check out these cuties! I am excited to be a part of the Sweet N Sassy Design Team. This is my first post so I made several things to show off this great new release. I used all of the new releases in these projects. What can I say I am an over achiever. These bunnies are separate images that I put together in photoshop. I used three different new releases in this first card.
 
I used bunny one and bunny 2 and the spring add ons to make this scene.
I used Jelly Bean's Easter Egg and Spring Sentiments on this cute card. 
I used the Jelly Bean's Carrot and bunny 2 on the candy bags. I colored all the images with Copics and chalked the edges of most of them. 
Well hope you enjoyed my first projects for Sweet N Sassy's DT. I know I love these images and hope you do to. You can find them over on the SNS blog and join in on the challenge. This week's challenge is a 3-2-1 challenge -- use 3 of one thing, 2 of another and 1 of something else.  For instance, use 3 buttons, 2 patterned papers, and 1 image.

Heart Cut out Valentines Card

I used my Design Studio and Doodlecharms cartridge to cut out the heart on a piece of white paper. I added the designer paper behind the white top. I faux stitched around the hearts and the whole card. I added a dollar bin sentiment and some buttons to dress it up.
I saw a card like this on Pinterest and thought I could do that so I did and I LOVE it. Thanks for stopping by!

Love Birds ~MelJen's GDT

Here is a calendar and a card I made for my second guest design team post for Meljen's Designs. I simply love these birds. I colored them with Copics and inked the edges of the images. The card is simple and made to go along with this calendar as a gift set. 
The calendar was made with a coaster and a large binder clip. I put the paper on the front of the coaster first then raped on the binder clip handles. I then cover them with paper on the back and the calendar on the front. This is a printable calendar I found online. I used notepad padding compound to bind the calendar pages together. The flowers I bought at Michaels. I used my spellbinders to cut out the circles.
I hope you enjoyed my projects for today!

Meljen's GDT ~Birthday Mouse Card

For my first post as MelJen's February guest design team member I wanted to share with you a male birthday card. I don't know about you but making male cards is very difficult for me. 
I used Birthday Cup Mouse. Isn't he cute! I colored him with Copics and added Stickles to the candle flame. I used some manly papers, metal accents and a happy birthday cut out(from Birthday Cake Cricut cartridge) to dress up the card.

MCCR Valentine's Day Card

Today is another Valentine's Day at My Cricut Craft Room. I have a couple things to share. 
The above card was made using Just Because Cards Cricut Cartridge. The hearts and I love you were cut on my Gypsy. I dry embossed the red paper. The rest is pretty easy to see. 
 These are candy bar wrapper that my friend and I made for the women in the office we work at. Very simple. We used Doodlecharms heart cute out and added Peachy Keen stamped faces on them.
This is my last post for the MCCR design team. I have loved being motivated to use my Cricut more often and hope to continue to use it. I have learned a lot from this team and wish them all the best of luck.
Head on over to My Cricut Craft Room and check out the rest the ladies projects.

 This think of you is from the Strength set.
I used the Ask Seek Knock set for this wonderful image. You can find it here.

SNSDC87 Thinking of you

I made a card for the DT Call for Sweet n Sassy Digi Challenge blog. Wish me luck.
This cute mouse is a Sweet n Sassy image. Cocoa mouse is one of my favorites. I colored him with Copics ans inked the edges. The paper is Recollections.
 I followed this sketch. 

Favorite Person Saying Card

Man this is hard for me. To leave white and no image! AHHH! Ok I am over it. It is cute but not my style. I am trying to branch out this year even though it stresses me out. I have noticed that all the magazines like very plain cards. I do not! I have actually stopped subscribing to Paper Crafts and Card Makers because I dont like the cards in there anymore. Anyways rant over on to the card. This one I took my favorite colors and a fun Pink By Design stamp and thats about it. Add a ribbon and there you have it. How do you feel about simple cards??
