House-shaped card (JBE051 Challenge)

I have a friend who is a realtor and thought she might like this card to give to clients when they sign their house paperwork.

This card also satisifies the criteria for Jacksonbelle Embellishments' current card challenge - to make a card that's any shape other than a square (see challenge here: http://jacksonbelleembellishments.wordpress.com/2009/04/28/tuesday-challenge-time-again/).

This is a Cricut Wild Card cartridge offering. So stinkin' cute! I love that the door really opens, and here I stamped "Welcome home" in the open doorway.

I had a great time trying to make the door, window frame, and roof look like weathered red wood. And so much fun making the curtains out of Making Memories patterned paper and some red ribbon.

I especially like the way the topiaries turned out. The ink shading really makes them dimensional and I popped them out with foam squares.

Details: Paper - The Paper Company, SU!, Making Memories; Ink - SU!, VersaMagic, Colorbox; Other - Cricut; Offray ribbon; SU! stamp; foam squares; unknown brad.

TFL!

Jacksonbelle Embellishments Tuesday Challenge - Shaped Cards

How fun is this challenge over on Jacksonbelle Embellishments (http://jacksonbelleembellishments.wordpress.com/)? I LOVE making shaped cards, especially for children. It just gives your card that much more "credit" with the wee ones.

The first card is a dinosaur card made with Cricut PPDU and given lots of great touchy-feely oomph with the Cuttlebug and Stickles. This was for my son's good friend's 4th birthday.

Details: Cricut PPDU; Cuttlebug embossing folder; Stickles and Elmer's glitter glue; SU! cardstock, ink & markers; UniBall Signo white pen; MSE! stamp; Darice google eye

The second card is a superhero racecar card, also made with Cricut PPDU & Stickles. This was made for another of my son's good friends who was also turning 4!

Details: Cricut PPDU, Uniball Signo pen, Stickles, SU! cardstock & ink, Karen Foster Snap Stamps

See both the cards also over at the Splitcoast Stampers Members Gallery. http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=113781
