Hibiscus Layouts and Card

Good morning all!

Hope everyone is having a good week so far! I am showcasing 3 projects I did with a summer/hibiscus flower theme.

It all started because I created a digi stamp for the card posted below for the Stampin' Sisters In Christ Challenge Blog.

PROJECT 1

This layout is made with Cricut flowers. The Hibiscus came from the Life's A Beach cartridge and the leaves came from Walk In My Garden. The butterfly was from Sentimentals cartridge.

Here is a view of the entire layout. I used an MS punch set to create the border around the outside. I used Bazzill, Bo Bunny and Basic Grey papers.

Here is a side shot of the butterfly and flowers to show the dimension.

Here is a close up of the butterfly. I started with a plain white butterfly and then inked the back and then inked the wing cutouts. I then covered the wing cut outs with Rock Candy Distress Stickles by Ranger.

PROJECT 2

Here is my Cricut with SVG file version. I created the Hibiscus and leaves and the Relax title on this one. I have a link to the relax title below. Please be sure to sign up for my newsletter. I will be sending it out tomorrow evening and I will inlude the FREE link for the Hibiscus flower cut file.

Here is a view of the entire layout. I used Bazzill, Bo Bunny and Basic Grey papers to complete this one as well. I also used an MS punch for the border strips.

Here is a closeup of the butterfly and flowers. The butterfly is from the Sentimentals cartridge. Sorry, I didn't have time to make one this time :-)

Here is a closeup of the title.

Here is another shot of the flowers and the butterfly.

PROJECT 3

This is what started all the summertime flower madness...lol! I created this card for the Stampin' Sisters In Christ Challenge Blog.

I created this digi stamp and colored it in with my Copics. I did hit the centers with just a touch of yellow stickles. So hard not to bling!

I used Bazzill and Bo Bunny papers to complete this. The finished size is 6 x 6.

Here is a side view to show the dimension. I popped the digi stamp from the rest of the layers to give the card some nice dimension.

WHEW, I think that covers it for today.
UPDATE: FREE Files no longer available. Please visit PCW for some reasonably priced cut file.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Please be sure to leave a comment and let me know your thoughts! I sincerely appreciate seeing the comments!

Blessings,

YUM Cricut-Cut File Layout

Happy MONDAY everyone!

Sorry for the lack of posting this weekend. I had a class so I was CRAZY busy...But let's get the week rolling! This project was for the FCCB Challenge #18 :-) Cool Summer Treats was the theme. For me a cool, sweet piece of watermelon is an absolute icon of summer....YUM!

I used my Preserves cartridge to cut out the watermelon slices at the bottom of my layout and the Y and M letters are from the Learning Curve cartridge. The Large watermelon wedge, the bear and the melon piece she is holding were cuts I created. The flowers are from an EK punch. So was the border punch. The pink courderoy ribbon and the green ribbon are from May Arts. The glitter brads in the center of the flowers are from Making Memories.

Closeup view of the cute little bear holding her melon wedge...YUM!
