Welcome to Card Creating Tuesday with My Cricut Craft Room!!

This week it is all about Sunflowers. So here is my card.

I started with a brown card stock base then used a dark berry card stock and used my cuttle bug to emboss it.  Because sunflowers to me mean the fall and holiday kick off I used a pretty burlap ribbon that has just a little shimmer to it. For the flower I used the cartridge Flower Shoppe which right now is 20.00 in Erica's Craft Rooms Store. O.k The Sunflower is on page 17 in your booklet I cut sunflower 2 at 4 inches and did that twice. Then I cut it again at 2 inches. I put the layers together with Glubers and score tape. Here is the link to those Glubers and score tape Both are amazing products to use when making flowers. I also used individual petals Sunflower3. The center is sunflower cut 1 in the booklet. The leaf is from Floral embellished. After cutting all of the pieces I used Tim Holtz Vintage Photo ink pad to ink the edges of the petals and I did go a little heavier on the ink for the center. I then used Glubers to put all of the layers together. Then I used score tape to place individual petals where I felt that the flower needed it. I did not use cut 4 at all. It just didn't look like it belonged on any sunflowers that I have grown or seen! The great thing with this cartridge is that you can customize your flower to your liking. I used a gold Prima center in the middle for a little touch of bling. I love using large blooms and a beautiful ribbon on a card. It is simple and looks amazing! I hope you liked my card and please leave me feedback :) I love to see what people have to say. Be sure to go back to My Cricut Craft rooms Blog to see all the amazing projects that my design team sisters have made for you!!

I hope you all have an amazing craft filled day :)

Card Creating Tuesday with My Cricut Craftroom

Welcome to Card Creating Tuesday With My Cricut Craft room!!
This week it is all about roses. Here is a picture of my card then I will tell you all about it :)

I made the roses with my Cricut Flower Shoppe Cartridge. The Roses are on page 14 in your flower shoppe booklet. I started with heart2 as my base. I cut the larger roses at 2 inches. I cut the base 3 times and used Glubers to adhere them together. I then cut individual petal and inserted them between the base layers with score tape. The pink one I spritzed with water and crinkled the petal up and allowed them to dry. I then pulled the petals apart carefully until I had the look I wanted. Then I stuck a bling brad in the center. I them gave the petals a coat of Glossy accents to give it just a little more stiffness and a light shine. The Lavender Rose was done exactly the same way accept I started with white card stock and spritzed it with Purple Metallic Maya Mist then followed all the same steps. The smaller roses were cut at 1 inch and were done the same way. The Hello word bubble was an item I just had in my supplies. The butterflies are a prima product and so are the leaves. I love my flower shoppe cartridge and if you love flowers on your projects as much as I do I would pop over to Erica's store and grab up that cartridge!! Here is the link to her store:
