Bingo! Wonderful Wednesday Cricut Challenge

 This week's Wonderful Wednesday Challenge is a Festive and Fun Bingo.

 I chose the vertical line in the centre of the grid for my card today.

I used flowers (cut with the Cricut and rolled), ribbon (around the layer on the card) and embossing (on the card).

I used acetate to make the card and embossed it with the Cuttlebug, I rounded the corners to remove the sharpness.

The layers were cut using the Cricut then edged with Victorian Velvet distress ink.

The flowers were rolled then the petals were rounded to provide some additional shape to the flowers. I added some distress ink to these as well. The leaves were die cut from hand made paper.

I made a bow with my bow maker and attached it to the ribbon.

Please join us over at Crafting with Cutters this week for this challenge and pick up the freebie for the week as well.

Spring Song

He remembers the first time he met ‘er 

He remembers the first thing she said 

He remembers the first time he held her 

And the night that she came to his bed 

He remembers her sweet way of singin’ 

Honey has somethin’ gone wrong? 

He remembers the fun and the teasin’ 

And the reason he wrote ‘er this song 

I’ll give you a daisy a day, dear 

I’ll give you a daisy a day 

I’ll love you until the rivers run still 

And the four winds we know blow away

(Written by Jud Strunk)

Today's Terrific Tuesday Die Cut or StampChallenge theme is "inspired by a spring song".

Well, I am not sure that the song the sprang to mind when I saw this cutting file is specifically related to spring, but daisies always seem so spring-like to me.

Melin created this daisies file which can be purchased here. I cut the diaies from white cardstock, then blended Tumbled Glass distress ink on the edges of the petals and curled them up slightly so they stand out from the card. I layered the daisies onto the green stems and leaves that I edged with crushed olive distress ink and placed the centres of the daisies (cut from yellow card and edged with wild honey distress ink) on top of the white petals.

The sentiment is from Gina K special occasion tags set designed by Tami Mayberry. I layered the sentiment and the daisies onto blue cardstock (cut with Spellbinders Deckled Rectanlges dies) which I then edged with white chalk ink.  Attached the sentiment onto the blue gingham ribbon that I taped to the bottom of the card.

I hope you find time to enter this challenge - Melin has created some lovely die cuts and digi stamps that are very suitable for the theme.

Congratulations!

I had to make a card for a couple who have just become engaged, and this colour scheme seemed to be right for the couple.

I cut all layers out using Spellbinders Nestablilities, except for the sentiment.

I ran the top layer through the Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots folder and added a ribbon to the top 2 layers.

I stamped the sentiment onto the same card as the base card and layered it onto the brown.
A simple, but quite effective layout.
