I have made this card to share with you.... I used the Cricut cartridge Doodlecharm...

To create my shaped bunny card, I welded two bunnies using the blackout feature and my gypsy. If you plan on adding a front to the card, you should use the shadow therefore it cuts the front panel the correct size. (learned the hard way. LOL) The base of my card was cut at 6 inches and the face was cut at 5.75. I still had to trim down the base a little. I then cut the bunny face and ran it through my cuttlebug using the swiss dots embossing folder. I inked around the edges with SU Regal Rose ink. Using my chalk, I added the inside of the ears. I used my black gelly roll pen to add the whiskers and the mouth. Don't you just love my googly eyes. I picked those up at Wal-Mart in the craft section. My nose was cut using the cartridge. My pink ribbon is from Wal-Mart as well.

My sentiment is from K Andrew Designs Art Stamps; "All About Animals"! My sentiment was stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I'll be giving this card to my sweet little Godchild, Ava!

For my second project, I used Freshly Picked Cricut Cartridge.......

All of my paper is from Recollections unless otherwise stated. The mushroom can be found on page 34 and was cut at 3.0 and the Gnome can be found on page 35 and he was cut at 2.5. I used my white gelly roll pen to make faux stitch lines on both the mushroom and the gnome. My ribbon is from Michael's and my sentiment is from K Andrew's "Splashtastic Summer" set.

For my final project today, I used Kate's ABC's Cricut Cartridge......

The little girl with her kittens can be found on page 52 and were cut at 3.5 with all her layers. All of my paper is from my scrap bin. I love when I can use scraps. I ran the white piece through my cuttlebug with the Houndstooth embossing folder. I pop dotted the scene up with some recollection foam squares. I first used my pink gel pen to add a color to each of the kittens and then went over it with some Cotton Candy Stickles. I used green glitter glue on the hat rather than the itty bitty leaves that were cut. I used my white gelly roll pen to add stitch lines to her dress and the baby carriage.

For the inside of my card, I inked around the edges with SU Pretty In Pink. My sentiment is from none other than K Andrew and I used two sets, "Our Friendship Is" is from Coffee and Tea for You and Me and "Purrfect" is from All About Animals. I used Memento Rich Cocoa ink to stamp the sentiment. My little kitty was cut at 1.5 and I also made her a pink collar.

I hope you enjoyed my projects today!
