Challange 5 from Circle board

This is the fifth and final challange from our online swarm! The challange was to use a frame in some way on the project, I chose to make a framed gift box from the wild card cartridge. I cut it at 5 inches, it is a little smaller than expected however it is perfect for a chocolate square or two like Ghirardelli.

Circle challange 3 and 4

Here is my entry for the third challenge on the circle boards this weekend. It is a note card holder and 8 matching monogramed notecards. Super easy and turned out pretty cute. Hope you like it!

Here is Circle challange 4 - It is a Thank you card. We were to use any type of wet medium on our project. I used wet embossing on the birds so they would stand out (didnt show up in pic) and I used my Viva pearl pen to accent the bird cages. Pic doesnt show the card well since I cant take a pic to save my life but it is relly pretty in real life.

Circle online swarm challange 2

This is my entry for challange 2 on the Circle online swarm. This was a color combo challange. We had to use pink, purple, green and yellow. I made a spring card for this challange.

Circle online swarm challange

We are having an online swarm on the circle boards for those of us not lucky enough to be in TX for the stampede. Here is my take on the first challange, I chose to do the layout sketch instead of the card sketch since I have only done about 3 layouts previous (I normally do cards). Im sure there is lots of room for improvement but I thought it didnt turn out half bad. I am really bad at taking pictures so there is quite a bit of glare.

Cricut Circle Montly Challenge

I completed my entry for the Monthly challenge on the circle blog. This challenge was all about Banners. I used the Inspriation banner sentiment BE MINE for my banner and used my Imagine for most of it. I printed the pink paper for the pennents from Lori's Garden and also the medalion was printed from Lori's garden. The letters were cut from the Country Life cart on my Imagine. I made rosettes using tissue paper that surprisingly was a perfect match to the colors from the Loris Garden cart. This was the biggest challenge as I had never made rosettes before and didnt know what I was doing at all. I think I could have done better with a little more practice but they did turn out better than I had expected! I lightly glittered around the rosettes and used my pearl viva pen to make little pearls on the letters. I cuttlebug'd the pennents and sanded then to distress them a little and that really made them pop. The pictures are not doing this any justice it is really pretty and soft in person but I cant take a picture to save my life.

Think Pink circle challenge

I made this entry for the Cricut Circle think pink challenge. I used my Imagine, and the Nursery Tales cart in layers. I used PK glitz glitter on my butterflies and stickles for 2 of the bodies and rhinestones for the larger butterfly body. I inked the edges with chestnut roan chalk ink and attempted faux stiching around the bottom layer (didnt like how it turned out).
