Hello, Circlets! Are you ready for another Weekly Challenge? I apologize for getting the challenges up late this week. It is completely my fault and I hope you will forgive me.

Let’s do another Card Sketch Challenge this time around and let’s make those cards sparkle! Pull out the glitter, the gemstones, the pearls . . . whatever strikes your fancy . . . and give your project a touch of bling.

Here is what I created for the challenge. Since I had not used the Cricut Everyday cartridge, I felt this was a good one to use.

Recipe for card:

4.5x6.5 card
cardstock of same size from DCWV RockStar
Tim Holtz vintage photo ink around the edges of the cardstock
3 gliiter adhesive dots from Recollections
Ribbon from my stash
plastic case from a cricut got cart cut at 1 3/4 inch wide and 5 inch long & run through cuttlebug folder cricut circle heads
Tim holtz sunshine yellow and sunset orange dabbed onto plastic
Cricut cake, gypsy logo and Cricut Circle head cut at 2 inches and pop dotted on card
gliitery cardstock
sentiment: I heard you caught the bug!!! computer generated.

Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge #39: A-B-C, 1-2-3 Challenge!

The Challenge: This week our challenge is inspired by all the kiddos heading back to school. It is a recipe challenge of sorts based on ABC, 123. Please include (A) Pop of (B)right (C)olor on your page, as well as 1 of something, 2 of something, and 3 of something. For example, Suzanne’s page below has a POP of bright red on her page. Then she has chosen to use ONE cartridge, TWO ruler stickers, and THREE elements of the red patterned paper . . . but yours could be whatever you would like. One button, two photos, and three patterned papers . . . you decide. It’s really easier than you think! Have fun with it! We can’t wait to see what you come up with!

For the challenge I decided to create my 3x3 calling card.

Recipe for calling card:
gold cardstock cut to 3x3
*1) cricut circle cuttlebug folder for background of card
*2) cricut carts used-Destinations for the state Ohio and Rock Princess for the girl on motorcycle
*3) 3 small rhinestones
large heart rhinestone
(A) pop of (B)right  (C)olor: Fuschia for girls hair

I cut the girl at 2 " and Ohio with RDS off at 5". Since here in Ohio we say "Come to the Heart of Ohio", I added a heart in the corner. I used the cricut circle folder since these are the cards I will be handing out when I can get to one of the events for my #1 element. So I felt that would be appropriate. I love motorcycles and have my own so I thought the girl on the bike would be perfect. There was recently a race for the cure with motorcycles lined up for the runners and walkers, I thought it would be nice for my rider to have pink hair. I chose fuschia for (A) pop of (B)right (C)olor.  For my #2 that I needed I chose Rock Princess and Destinations and this also would include the 2 cricut cuts that are needed for this challenge. #3 is the 3 rhinestones I embellished on the motorcyle for my last element needed. I used my I-Rock to adhere the stones.

Thanks for looking~

Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge-French Manor ATC card

Here is an ATC card I made for the weekly drawing on the Cricut Circle blog. You have to use two cuts from the cart, I chose the word Paris cut at 2" and the Eiffel Tower cut at 3", cardstock is Bazzill light and dark pink. I wanted some dimension so I pop dotted the tower and layered it on top of another tower. You then had to have an embellishment to it. It had to be pearl or jewel. I chose to add both. I thought it turned out pretty nice. I used Bazzill white for the base of the ATC and black cardstock for the second layer. Matha Stewart white pearl and gem stickers. Cut file for the ATC card (white) and insert (black) from Brensdesigns.
