FCCB Challenge #150 Fun with Puns

Happy Monday !!

Thank you for hopping over to see my card for the

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog

Challenge #150

"Fun with Puns"

I struggled with this one no less because I am currently on rest duty having fallen over a loose brick in the path at work and hurt my back (again)!!

BUT...

not to be down hearted 

I spent ages surfing the net, having a laugh at some of the dreadful jokes out there in cyber space and making my bright and cheerful card!!

My card is sending "Hoppy News" 

I used core'dinations card stock to emboss the pretty butterflies and sanded it to let the core color show through.

I cut the 2nd largest 5x7 Spellbinder card creator die, distressed and inked the edges before sticking it onto a 5x7 card blank.

I used my Promarkers to colour the frog stamp and matted it on matching card and added some gems.

The little bee's are made by craft time, so cute!!

Last but not least my cricut cuts ate the two frogs both from Paper Dolls Dress Up
This must be my fastest made DT card ever but the most fantastic thing about blogging and crafting is the fact that you can pick it up put it down and it will be just the same an hour later - perfect for me cause i don't know if I should sit stand or lay down at the moment lol !!

Please pop over to FCCB and see the fabulous DT creations, then make your own project and join in the fun

As always please remember to use a least one Cricut cut and name the cartridge  to be in with a chance of the weekly prize and top 5 project blinkie

FCCB Challenge #149 Kiss The Cook x

OH YEAH !!

We all love the cook x

Hello and welcome to my Monday post for FCCB

Challenge #149 Kiss the Cook 

This week we were challenged by the lovely Janea to use a recipe on our project and here's what I came up with using the beautiful Lili of the Valley stamps "Sprinkled with Sugar" and "Recipe Sentiments" and of course my amazing Cricut Expression 2

I love my little pinny but it was the very devil to photograph but I have several close ups to share as always

 I used Every Day Paper Dolls Cartridge to make my pinny - cut at fit to page on plain white card, 12x12  Papermania Spring Time Papers and flocked white Doodle Bug card stock

I cut the little oven gloves, wooden spoon and rolling pin using the cut to scale button to make life easy. I then cut a white piece of Kanban stamping card at 90mm with a patterned shadow cut using George and Basic Shapes cartridge

I cut the top of the pinny in the flock card, stuck it onto the white card and then added the bottom half in pink gingham after pleating 2 paper doilies around the back to create the lace. They were glued in place with Cosmic Shimmer Glue
Every piece was highlighted around the edges with VersaColor ink in Baby Blue and Petal Pink

As promised to Lorraine out came the stamps and Promarkers, I used the blue Versa Color  ink again and embossed in holographic powder to keep the images soft but sparkly

I used seam binding for the ties and lots of lovely card candi sent to me by Lynn at the Craft Den to finish.

Please pop over and visit the fabulous design team at FCCB and then join us with your own project. Mr Linky is open from 0800 Monday until 2400 Sunday.

Please use at least 1 cricut cut and tell us which cart it is from to be in with a chance of a prize and top 5 Blinkie for your blog.
