Erica's Craft Room 100 Cricut Cartridge Blog Hop Day 2

Welcome to Erica's Craft Room 

100 Cricut Cartridge Blog Hop


You should have come from Sheila's blog, if not please go to the beginning and start at Erica's blog so you don't miss any of the other fabulous projects!

I made 2 different Easel cards for my projects today.

My first easel card was made with Ribbons and Rosettes and Live Simply. The rectangle that says "a little hello" is cut at 1.75"x 2.5" and the brown is cut at 2"x 2.75" and then I rounded the corners with a punch. The patterned rectangle is cut at 2.25"x 5.75".

Here are the rosettes I cut. I used my gypsy and welded 2 together two times at 2.75" <Stamp1> If you don't have a gypsy you would just need to cut 4 and glue together, this way I only had to glue 2 pieces, the only downfall of welding them is you lose the score lines.

Here's everything else I cut and used. The main card it 6"x12" folded in half and then one half folded again. The white part is where you glue a 6"x6" square of the same color, only the bottom half of that square will be glued. The stamped squares were cut at 2.75" <stamp1md> and the shadow for it.(Ribbons and Rosettes) The snail is from Live Simply cut at 1.75"

Close up of the snail. I used Peachy Keen Stamps for the face and some Studio G glitter glue on the swirl. I inked everything with Memento brown ink, and did some gel pen stitching all over the card.

Sorry I didn't take pictures while I was making this one. (Oops)

There is a great tutorial here for one. 

So here's what I did-

1.  I cut a 6" x 12" and 6"x 6" out of white, then 1 cut 2 -5.75" squares out of the coffee bean paper.
2. I cut the background from Paper Lace at 5.5" <heart1> white is glitter paper  and red is pearl.
3. I cut the shadow <Love-S> from Lacy Labels at 3" Real Dial size and then used my Sew Easy and twine for the hearts. I inked the edges with red distress ink. I also added a few stamped coffee beans.
4. I cut <cofecup2> at 2.5" out of scraps and inked with brown ink and stamped the white part with a heart.
5. I punched a 2" circle, inked it, stamped the sentiment on and used a foam dot for dimension, I used a Spellbinder die for the Happy Valentine's Day tag on the base and used foam dots to hold the card open. 
6. Last I punched the heart border out of pearl paper and added the buttons with a little twine. I inked anything white with red ink and the brown paper with brown ink.
