One Scrap at a Time

 Two posts in one day? Wow! I am still playing with the Wild Card 2 Cricut cart and lots of scrap papers. I added these clear skittles to make it look like water. ~Tee

I recently bought the new Wild Card 2 Cricut cartridge and couldn't wait to play with it - there are so many adorable projects, too many to choices!!!  After looking through the book two or was it three time? I choose to make this owl card first using some scraps of Echo Park paper I had in my stash. Not your typical colors but didn't it turn out cute? eeekkkkk

Making masculine cards has always been a challenge for me, how about you? Father's Day, Birthday, Anniversary? I plan on giving this card to Robert (from Chloe) on Father's Day. The tie was made using Wrap It Up cartridge and the shirt I used George.

This is my latest project for Hearts-n-Crafts scheduled for June 19th.... I picked up the frame, jar and wine from a discount store. I love turning inexpensive items into home decor. Supplies Used: Frame, Jar and Wine Class Pink and Black Vinyl Rhinestones Etching Cream Foam Brush Cricut Sophisticated Cricut Cartridge George and Basic Shapes or Plantin SchoolBook Cartridge Paper Trimmer   ~ Tee

To do that, I cut a piece of black cardstock at 9x4 – scored using my Scor Buddy at an ½” on each side and scored at 2” and 7” as seen in this picture.

For the last several weeks I have been playing with the Flower Shoppe cartridge trying to come up with 10 unique flowers for a class I am doing. I am so happy with the results. I am writing up directions for each flower and will post later. ~Tee

Is it too early to do father's day cards? :)  I came across this file, Cards for Dad, at SVG Attic and knew it would be a perfect card for my Dad who has really been there for me during the last year. I don't think I am going to wait until Father's day to send it - it is a great everyday card as well.
