BBTB2 - Travel/Road Trip

Happy Monday!

Today over at BBTB2 we have another

Travel/Road Trip

I decided to focus on travelling via air not road :)

This fun plane is from Everyday Pop-Up Cards.

All my papers are from my scrap stash, and I followed

a sketch from Mojo Monday.

The sentiment is from Craftin' Desert Divas.

And over at BBTB2

Sharon has chosen a super fun theme of
Dogs Day of Summer
just use a dog on your cards, layouts, or projects.

This is what I came up with by combining both challenges...

I used Create A Critter for all my cuts.

The glitter paper is from The Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby),

the water paper is from ColorBok (Wal-Mart),

and the sky paper is from American Crafts (purchased at Michael's)

I used my wave scissors to cut the top of the "sand".

The sentiment comes from Craftin' Desert Divas

Destination Fun stamp set.

I hope that you will join us for these fun challenges this week!

I am also going to be entering this into Exploring Cricut

for the Anything Goes challenge,

Under The Sea

Sponsors:

$20 Coupon Code

Die-Versions

$15 Gift Certificate

My Project: 

Seriously, I can't get enough of the Pack Your Bags cartridge!

I have LOVED every image on this one!

So my underwater scene is cut at 4".

My water paper comes from ColorBok (Wal-Mart)

and the b/g paper was in my scrap stash, 

so I don't have any info on it other than

I am pretty sure it was an open stock 12x12.

The twine is Blueberry from Trendy Twine (LOVE).

The sentiment comes from Craftin' Desert Divas

Destination Fun stamp set (also LOVE)

The scene and sentiment are popped up on some foam tape

and the top of the sentiment was cut using my

wave scissors from The Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby).

I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink for the stamp.

I hope that you will join us for our

challenge over at Cut It Up!!!

It will run until Wednesday, July 23 at noon

Thanks for checkin' in!!!

Travel Time!

YAY!!!

It's another week for another awesome challenge

over at BBTB2!

Our amazing DT sister Pam has chosen the theme of

Travel!

I don't know about you but Road Trips are one of my favorite things,

especially when the final destination is Disneyland :)

But as my husband and I have added kids to the mix,

one of the common questions we get asked is

"Are We There Yet?"

Oh, yes! The infamous question, right?

So in honor of road trips and the kids that we love so dearly,

I made this card:

I used Pack Your Bags for this fun wagon with luggage.

The twine is from Trendy Twine and the sentiment is from

Craftin' Desert Divas "Destination Fun" set.

The paper is from My Mind's Eye Boy Crazy 6x6 pack.

I did ink around the edges with ColorBox Charcoal Chalk Ink.

The card and sentiment are popped up on some foam tape

for some fun dimension.

I hope that you will join us this week

for this Travel Challenge over at BBTB2!

Thanks for checkin' in!!!

Lucy Kelleher "Close to My Heart": $10 G.C. (Only in U.S.)

My Project:

For this super fun linky party, I created a Tri-Shutter Card.

If you have never made one of these, you have to try it out!

There are some awesome tutorials on YouTube

on how to do these cards :)

FCCB and BBTB2 have new challenges stating today too.

Over at FCCB (see below for sponsor info) we want to see

Graduation projects

and BBTB2 we want you to use

a "car" cut on your projects.

I combined all of them into this fun Graduation card.

I used Wrap It Up for the diploma

and Beep Beep for the convertible car.

The "GRAD" and "2014" are both cut from Plantin Schoolbook.

My papers were all in my scrap stash, 

this style of card is perfect to use up scraps :)

All my stamps are from Craftin' Desert Divas.

The "Congrats" and "Wish Big" come from Simply Said

and the "Away we go" comes from Destination Fun.

I did some alteration to that stamp by crossing out "we" 

and adding "you" above it with a black gel pen.

I thought it was fitting for this card :)

The enamel dots are from Michael's

This is how it looks folded up :)

I hope you will join us for these fun challenges starting today!

Here is the sponsor info for FCCB:

((NOT SVG FILE))

Even another BONUS...

EVERY purchase will get the TCBJ "All That Glitters" pattern FREE!!!

It's all just AWESOME!!!

My Project:

I decided to make another shaker card!

I thought the chevron frame stamp from Tara's "Picture That" set

would be the perfect outline for the shaker!

I stamped some white cardstock with some teal ink,

then cut out the "window" with a craft knife.

I stacked more cardstock with "windows" cut out 

on top of each other so there was a "pocket" to fill with beads and sequins

I didn't do that by hand :)

I used my Cricut and the George cart to help make that easier!

My beads and Hawaiian "sequins" were both from JoAnn's.

The flowers are from Recollections and Studio G.

My paper is from The Paper Studio's (Hobby Lobby) Khloe Lane stack.

I topped off the shaker with the sentiment "Mahalo"

from the new Destination Fun stamp set...

Perfect for this card!

Here is a close up of the shaker and stamps:
