Simple Happy Birthday Card

It's May already! Can you believe it?  Well I am running out of time to complete my self-imposed challenge.  So today's card uses the Cricut Cartridge Simple Cards, Best of 2009 and Create a Critter.  The patterned paper is from Teresa Collins I'm almost certain it's from her Celebrate Collection, but not sure.

From Simple Cards I used Card 38, the red balloons are cuts from Create a Critter and Best of 2009. 

The balloons are cut separately and I welded together one using an image from each cartridge.  I used the Criuct Craftroom to do the welding.  I then stamped the cuts with a Ditto wooden stamp entitled "Double Lines".  Next I embossed them with my Cuttlebug.  I can't remember the name of the folder although I want to say it's Tiny Bubbles.  The background paper is just a piece of black scrap paper, and I used some white chalk ink to fill in around most of the cut outs.  Of course pop dots were used to give the balloons a little lift off the page.  That's three more cartridge off the list.
Just for those of you who may have read my previous post.  I didn't forget about the Silhouette Cameo video, it's just that it was a little longer than expected and I have to edit it one more time.
Check back later this week to see if I can use a couple more Cartridges, since summer will be here before you know it.


HAPPY CRAFTING,

Administrative Assistant Day Card

The 24th of April is Administrative Assistant Day.  Since, I was in charge of getting the gift, I decided to make the card that goes along with it.  This is a simple 5 x 7 card, and it allowed me to cross off  using another cartridge (see Cricut Challenge post).  For this card, I pulled out my Sentimental Cricut Cartridge for the image.  For her dress, I gave it a little dimension by using the Divine Swirl Cuttlebug folder and some ink swiped across the top of the impression.  For the red layer, I again used the Cuttlebug, but this time used the Anna Griffin Poppy Cuttlebug folder.

For the sentiments inside and out, I used the Silhouette Cameo.

Yes you read right , I wrote Silhouette Cameo.  I will have a YouTube video up later this week, showing from the opening of the box to the first cut (with a little editing).  I will also be posting here this weekend my general impressions and overview of the Cameo versus the Expression 2.
So don't forget to check back later this week.
HAPPY CRAFTING,
