Terrific Tuesday Challenge

 

Scrappy Mom's Terrific Tuesday challenge this month is to create a project using a cartoon character. I'm using the Hello Kitty Greetings cartridge and she's all dressed up in her adorable rain gear.  That background paper is from a 6x6 My Mind's Eye pad called Quite Contrary. It is such a whimsical stack. That perfect sentiment is from Emma's set called Turn That Frown Upside Down. I added some twine and glossy accents to complete this card. I just love Hello Kitty. 

 

 

My Craft Spot Monday Challenge #40: It's Delicious

Kimberly's challenge over at My Craft Spot this week is to make something delicious out of paper! Well, I was in need of a Thank You card and I don't know of anything sweeter than a juicy, sweet strawberry! My mouth is watering just thinking of a big old bowl of them. The yummy fruits are from the Hello Kitty Greetings cartridge and the sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's Green Thumb set. The paper is a My Mind's Eye 6x6 stack called Quite Contrary. I added some twine because I was finally in a twine-kind-of-mood. Sometimes I add twine and I don't feel it enhances my project, but I see other projects with it and love it. I'm very pleased with this simple, sweet card.

Throwback Thursday Challenge

The challenge this week at My Creative Time is to use an older cartridge with a card feature. The card must be Halloween themed. This was the perfect opportunity to use my Hello Kitty Greetings cartridge. I have been wanting to use this cut for a while. Hello Kitty is so cute with her little cape! I just love how she turned out. I decided against using a sentiment stamp on the outside because I thought it would detract from her adorable outfit.
I cut the base card in Kraft colored cardstock at 5". Then I used the blackout feature to layer on top of that because the card feature didn't cut one side of her whiskers. I cut out the cape freehand because I didn't like it just black. It didn't really look like a cape to me. I used glossy accents on her eyes. They will dry clear and give her some dimension.
The patterned paper is from DCWV Midnight Spell. This is the most awesome Halloween stack ever! So many glittered, embossed or foiled pages and such amazing colors. I'm going to really miss this stack when it's finished.
