New Testament--Cross Easter Card

These cards were made using Anna Griffin papers, Cuttlebug embossing folder, Elegant Edges Cartridge, New Testament Cartridge and Scrappy Mom's sentiments stamps, as well as the banners set of Spellbinders dies, Coordinations solid cardstock, and the button is from Joann's.  The card design idea is from Mary at Cardztv.  Mary made a card very similar for her Easter cards, and I liked it so much I decided to use the same design for my Easter cards as well.

Once Upon A Princess/Elegant Edges Cards

The teapots on both of these cards were made using the Once Upon A Princess cartridge. The scalloped label they are on is from Elegant Edges. The label was then embossed using Cuttlebug embossing folders. Finally, the scalloped border was punched using a Martha Stewart deep edge punch.

Elegant Edges "Thanks!" Card

The paper for this card is from Martha Stewart and the label and shadow are cut from the Elegant Edges Cartridge.  Also, the orange border is punched from a Martha Stewart border punch. Finally, I added a chipboard sticker that closely resembled the ones in the patterned paper.

"Elegant Edges" Boxed Gift Card Set #6

Yet another gift card set using the Elegant Edges Cartridge on the front of the box and also using the new Lemon Flower Stack by DCWV.

"Elegant Edges" balloon boxed gift card set #5

This balloon set was made using first of all my very new favorite Cricut Cartridge, "Elegant Edges." The label on which the balloons are resting is found on that cart on page 47.  It is the snowflake label.  I used the oblong feature to make it look more like a cloud than a snowflake! The patterned papers are from the itsy bitsy paper stack by K and Company.   The balloons are from a Martha Stewart balloon punch, and I punched them out twice and layered them with a popdot so they would be dimensional.  I then added bakers twine to them.  The photo corners are punched from a corner punch by Fiskars and the banner label containing the sentiment is from a spellbinders die.  I then stamped a simple sentiment on to each card, and added a premade bow I bought at walmart.

Card Box #3 and Elegant Edges Scalloped Circle

Here is another one of my boxes or gift baskets full of cards and envelopes that I love to make to give away as gifts.  I used a thankyou stamp I got years ago at the dollar store, and popped it off a scalloped 3 inch circle from the Elegant Edges cartridge.  The paper is from K and company's Greenhouse paper stack.

This card is made using the Elegant Edges Cartridge and the Lace and Linen Premium Stack by DCWV.  The background paper is actually ONE piece of paper which made it really easy on me to just add some embellishments and be done.  It is 5"by7" and the oblong scallop is cut at 3 1/2 inches with the khaki oval cut at 3 inches from an oval punch.  The flowers are all by Recollections from Michaels.  I then added a "MOM" sentiment from chipboard which I glued to a banner I folded out of white cardstock. I made this card for the Wacky Wednesday Mother's Day challenge over at http://morethanfavors.blogspot.com/2011/05/wacky-wednesday-37-mothers-day-theme.html as welll as for the http://papercutzchallenge.blogspot.com/ challenge they have every Friday!

Ciao #2 with Elegant Edges Cartridge cards

Click on image to see full size
These two cards, which really only have the difference of the bow on them, are both the same sketch design as the Ciao card below.  I wanted to do more cards with that design and stamp because I liked how the first pink one below turned out.  These cards are 5 1/2 by 8 inches and the elegant edges scallop which the ciao stamp of the leaning tower of Pisa from Close to My Heart, sits on is cut at 4 1/2 inches in oblong.  I used Chocolate pigment ink by Anna Griffin to stamp both the sentiment and the image and then clear embossed them.  All the patterned papers are from the Flea Market paper pack by Colorbok and the roses are by Recollections from Michael's.  The satin ribbons are from Michael's and are 1 1/2 inches wide.  The crocheted ribbon is from Joann's and is by Offray.  Now I just need to make a couple of envelopes big enough for these huge cards!!
