Hope Breast Cancer Awareness Card (Sweet Sassy Diva)

This week at Sweet Sassy Diva's Blog, we are celebrating Breast Cancer Awareness.  I wanted to make a fun window card with my Gypsy.  As a mom of all boys, I have a very limited supply of pink paper...thank goodness I have a Cricut Imagine!!

I found this paper pattern on Nursery Tails.  It reminds me of boobies!!!  That is what we are celebrating here ~ healthy boobies!!!  We are running, racing, praying, sharing and pledging money all for boobies!  Now where was I??  Oh yes, paper.  I used this paper for my card base.

I used two frames from Gypsy Wandering sized at 4 inches each.  I hid the inside cut on one of the frames with Hide Contour.

I used the bra from Forever Young.  I hid the panties as I just wanted the bra.  I sized the bra to 3 inches.  I put one bottom layer of the bra on the same mat as the card base and hid all of the inside cuts.  I centered the bra in the oval window and welded the three pieces all together to create my card base.

Here it is all cut out of my boobie paper!

On a separate Gypsy layer, I put the two layers of the bra.

I cut out the pieces in pink and white cardstock.

I added some sparkle (stickles) and a flower.  Every girl needs a little bling!

I am mainly a scrapbooker, so I don't have many stamps.  I did find one that would work with my card on PinkByDesign Just My Ticket that said Hope.

It is my hope that we find a cure for breast cancer very soon.  It is also my hope that every person (men get breast cancer too) who has breast cancer or who will get breast cancer will kick it's butt!!!

Peace, Love & Cure Card

Today I am the Guest Designer at The Bug Bytes and  I made this card for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  I am also entering this in the Link up for Pink which you can see HERE!  I was afraid I missed the deadline but it is October 14th!!

I used the peace symbol and the font from Feeling Groovy, the heart from George and the bra from Forever Young.  The peace symbol is sized to 1.36w x 1.31h.  The heart is 1.48w x 1.16h.  The bra and panties are sized to 3.25w x 1.31h.  I hid the panties with Hide Contour.  The letters are sized to .84inches.

I cut out the images in hot pink cardstock.  This cardstock had a little texture to it, so I used Multicut to cut it twice.  I kept the negative piece to use as a template.

I ran the cuts through my Xyron and adhered them to my pink shimmer cardstock perfectly.

Here is my top layer.

I added pink stickles to the shapes.  I mounted the pink shimmer paper to a piece of pink floral paper from K&Co.  I tied some pink tulle around the bottom and adhered a pink paper flower to the knot.  This little pink flower reminded me of the pink flowers on training bras!

I folded a 6x8 piece of white cardstock into a card and adhered the pink papers on it.  Here is my card and my wish for a cure!!

I am getting "smashed" this month ~ are you?  I hope so!!

This hop is filled with Cricut Circle Members ~ my MB name is ScrappinMyStressAway! 

 I made this cute Purse to hold my niece's birthday gift.  We go for a pedicure and I wanted to give her some nail polish, nail stickers, toe separators and some foot spray.

I started out with the Forever Young Cartridge and selected the nail polish purse.  I opened a 12 x 24 mat and sized the purse to 15.68w x 7.20h.

I took a piece of 12 x 18 watercolor paper and put it on a 12 x 24 mat.

I selected multi cut #2 to cut through the watercolor paper.

Here is my purse, but now it needs some color.

I took 2 pieces of paper from this K&Co paper pad.

I switched my mat size on my gypsy to 12 x 12 and cut out each half of the purse.

Here are the two cuts.

I trimmed the pieces.

I scored the purse at the score marks.

I inked the edges with Staz On purple ink.

I used Terrifically Tacky Tape to adhere the purse together.  I cut out a tag.

Here are the goodies in the purse!  Shhhh don't tell ~ her birthday is on the 19th!

Red Ribbon Dress Card {Frosted Designs}

This week's challenge at Frosted Designs is to use ribbon or twine on your project.  I have been wanting to make a ribbon dress for a while, so I thought this would be a great time to do it!  My cousin had a birthday last month and every year I get later and later at sending her a card.  Thank goodness she forgives me!!!

I cut out this girl from Forever Young at 6".  I took some red satin ribbon, adhesive and tape and got started.

I put some ATG tape along the bottom of the dress.  I folded the ribbon over the adhesive.

I used scotch tape to fasten the ribbon to the back of the dress.

I kept layering more ribbon on the dress until I got to the arms.  I cut off the arms so I could wrap the ribbon around to the back.

When I got to her waist, I quit folding the ribbon and just adhered it flat.

Here is what the back looks like.

I took a thin silver glittery ribbon to make a sash.

I cut out a second girl and glued her to the back.  This hid my ends and also gave me a smooth surface to adhere to the card.

I matted the girl with silver paper and used red and silver ribbon to frame her in.  I cut my card from white paper with irridescent flowers on it.  This paper is white on the back, which is the inside of the card.  I stamped Happy Birthday in red inside the card.

Be sure to create your own project with ribbon or twine and post it to Frosted Designs ~ you could win a prize!!
