Things with Wings

Today's challenge at My Paper Crafting is Things with wings.

To make this card, I used Lyrical Letters and the CCR to design the letters and their shadow layers. I cut the letters then added faux stitching.

For the inside of the card, I used the spinning platform die from Sizzix to make a pop-up mechanism on which to place my dragonfly that was cut using the Art Nouveau cartridge.

The dragonfly was layered onto scalloped ovals, then attached to the pop-up. Unfortunately you can't quite see the effect of the pop-up in the picture. The dragonfly twists back and down when the card closes. The word is cut using the Lyrical Letters and shadow layer in CCR.

Please head over to My Paper Crafting for this week's challenge and see what beautiful designs the rest of the DT has come up with to inspire you!.

Hearts to You

With Valentine's Day coming up next week, it is appropriate that the theme for the challenge over at My Paper Crafting this week, is Hearts to You!

For this project, I used the Cricut Craft Room Basics digital cartridge. I made a shadow layer of the letters and heart shape and welded the shadows together. I used copy and paste, flip and weld to make the card.

I then made the letters and heart to fit the card layer and cut all the pieces out. I embossed the letters and heart using my Cuttlebug and attached them to the card.

To finish it off, I added a rolled rose cut using one of Melin's beautiful rolled roses and a swirl from the frame'n flourish cutting file. I stamped the sentiment on a card that I attached underneath the flower and swirl.

Please join us over at MPC for the challenge and take a look at the lovely projects made by the other team members. Thanks for looking!
