CWC #137: The Letter "S"

Happy Wednesday!  Welcome to our weekly "Crafts With Cartridges" challenge -- our post today is brought to you by the letter "S."  LOL!  Our Design Team was asked to use a die-cut or cartridge that begins with the letter "S."  And here is what this group of talented ladies came up with . . .

Great projects, ladies!  Now, normally this is where we'd tell you how to link up your "S" project . . . however, because summer is such a busy time with kids out of school, vacations, and all that fun in the sun, we have discontinued our link-up party for a bit.  So enjoy the break and don't forget to come back Thursday for Totally Tags 'n ATC Thursdaze and Friday for our Digi Dessert Fridaze and FREE Digi!

Thanks so much for spending your crafty time with us!

Cornflower n’ Ribbon Card

Good morning  crafty friends,

 I wanted to share a card I created this week. So let's get right to it.

Here is a view of the completed card.

I used the Cornflower Card SVG set from PCW.

 

My flowers started as plain white cardstock.

I sponged some Ice Jade Cat’s Eye Chalk Ink on each petal layer.

I then sponged some Blue Iris Chalk Ink in the center. I then went back around the 

edges of the petals with the Ice Jade color to help “blend in the colors.

Next, I used a dowel to “curl” the petals and give them some shape.

I staggered the layers and off set and glued them together.

Next, I needed to create the centers. Again, I started with white cardstock.

I inked them with Blue Iris and Charcoal Chalk Inks.
I layered, staggered and glued them together also.

Here is a close up of one of the finished flowers. 

I added a Metallic Gem to the centers.

Here is another close up showing a side shot. I also used white cardstock 

for the leaves and stems. I used the Olive Pastel and Medium Green Chalk 

Inks to sponge the color onto the stems.

I wove some pink ribbon through the center Lattice panel. 

I think it gives the card some great texture!

Lastly I added the sentiment and some pearl gems on the four corners of the lattice background.

I used the following products to create this card.

Cartridge Showcase: Twinkle Toes

Welcome to our cartridge showcase this week, as we show you some of our projects using the Cricut Light Twinkle Toes cartridge.

This is just one of the most delightful cartridges and can be used in so many ways.  

Here are just a few examples. 

Using the Twinkle Toes cartridge, I created this card to represent a Broadway Theater stage.  

And here is the inside of the card.  

This next card also has the same stage look and also has a couple of the cute little dancers on the Twinkle Toes cartridge performing.  

And here you see a close up of the cute little dancers on stage.  

I added a little glitter to the stage curtain and the bows on the dancers.

And here is the message on the inside of the card.  The sentiments on the front and inside of the card were created with K Andrew Design stamps. 

This next card is very simple.  I used the Twinkle Toes cartridge for the music and the Home Decor cartridge for the butterflies.  The pink mat was embossed with a cuttlebug folder.

I have enjoyed sharing with you and hope you will visit my blog, A Little Bit Of Detail.
