Vrrrroooom! The challenge this week at Just Magnolia is to make a shaped card – nothing square! Here’s what I came up with…Edwin is driving now!
The car folded in half into a card….
The card open…
I think it will fit into a A7 envelope the best…
The car is cut on the Cricut with the Graphically Speaking cartridge….some really cool things on this cartridge! Now to go look and see what everyone else came up with!
May is National Salad Month – well, I found this image and it just screams, “YOU CAN’T MAKE ME!”
Close up of the Quickutz mini vegies…
I used Fleuriste pattern paper from Cosmo Cricket and Bazzill Card-stock for the vegies and leaves. The bottom “romaine” is an old leaf punch from Emagination Crafts, no longer in business. I would think, the Punch Bunch or another punch company would have the same image or something similar though. Computer generated phrase – kindergarten is the font.
I like to put lines on my dies with the embossing tool and a mouse pad, to make the pieces look like more than just a die cut or punch out. The carrot does have pen lines. I edge everything w/stamp pad ink and the Tim Holtz blending tool.
Thanks for coming by and remember….EAT those VEGIES!!!
Here’s my entry…
A close up of the posy bouquet…
Another angle on the card…
I used Grape Bazzill card-stock, KI Memories flower die cut 12×12 paper, Lasting Impressions for Paper black polka dot, Beckett Expression Radiance card-stock to stamp and color my Magnolia Tilda flower girl, All Night Media flower border punch, Martha Stewart border flower punch and the EK Success wavy border punch.
I’m used to putting my markers back in the stand when I’m coloring, so the yellows I used for the blonde hair are not in the picture below! They are Y21, YR21 and YR24.

Here’s the sketch…
Penny Black flower stamps, Cosmo Cricket Fleuiste pattern paper and Martha Stewart’s scallop lacy border punch were used to make this “just wanted to say” card. I have to say the elongated nestabilities rectangles are some of my favorite dies! Oops! I almost forgot the SU word window punch!
Found this super fun blog this past week and had to enter with a card I was making for one of my daughters! One of the sponsors liked my entry and emailed asking if I’d create a card and be the guest designer for the next challenge??? I only panicked for a few minutes and then agreed to try. Here is the card I submitted to Jennifer for the OCC color challenge this week….
The color challenge is to use the colors Regal Rose, Certainly Celery and Bashful Blue, all Stampin Up card-stock and ink colors. This little girl (Penny Black rubber stamps) is all ready for Spring, see the word “spring-time” in the music? I colored her with copic markers. I really liked using YG11 and YG17 for the certainly celery colors. I dyed a little piece of SU’s white taffeta ribbon green w/the YG11 marker…I’ve been wanting to try that! For the Regal Rose match, I used RV 11, RV13, RV14 and RV 19.
I used the teeny 1/16th green Bazzill brads in the two holes of the flower button and put the white dots on the brads w/a white sharpie poster marker. The flower button and the flower are from a Making Memories embellishment jar for Valentines Day. The leaves are two different Martha Stewart punches. The little baby’s breath is a border punch w/six little flowers and the stem is from The Punch Bunch. I used the Martha Stewart fence punch in the background and the Fiskars mini pinking decorative scissors to cut the top of the certainly celery card-stock, for the grass line.
I used the new Hero Arts grid stamp on the certainly celery card-stock and a Hero Arts floral background stamp on the regal rose card-stock. The small white buttons are from Lasting Impressions for Paper and I used a teeny strip of rose card-stock for the “paper” thread. Oh for the copic match to bashful blue I think I like B21 the best but I also used a little of B34.
