You're Bewitching Digi Stamp Card

I would like to introduce you to Cassandra!  Cassandra is another of the Simply Betty Stamps (this version was another digital stamp) that my design team sister Donna enabled into my life.  You do know it is all Donna's fault that I purchased these digi stamps, right?  That is my story and I am sticking to it!!!

Cassandra is a bewitching little cutie wielding a magic wand and a black cat.  She is flirty in her curvaceous witchy garb and her flowing green locks.  Her eye shadow highlights her big blue lash rimmed eyes.  Cassandra is not one of those women with self esteem issues, she knows that she is simply BEWITCHING!

And with that sentiment in mind, I created a little tag to emphasize Cassandra's status, You're Bewitching!  I used Microsoft PowerPoint to create the circle sentiment with its witchy center.  The tag was cut out with a 1.5 inch circle punch.  The bottom layer of the tag was cut out with a 2 inch scalloped circle punch.

I used the Cricut Imagine to create the card layers.  I placed the colored stamp on the Imagine mat and with careful placement I cut out the digi image using one of the Imagine's basic shapes.  I then printed and cut the purple and green print layers using the Imagine More cartridge.  The bottom border layers were recolored and printed and cut also using the IM cartridge.

I completed the front of the card by adding a stamped flower, black rick-rick and a button to the bottom edge.  I mounted the purple layer onto a dotted Halloween paper before adhering the card front to the white card. 

The card was finished with a simple Happy Halloween stamp and a little happy spider.

Thank you for coming by today!!

Birthday Bag and Tag set for BBTB2

 
Happy Monday!  Today I am sharing my latest Bitten by the Bug 2 project, a Happy 3rd Birthday gift bag and tag set.  The challenge cut this week at BBTB2 is the barn from the Old West cartridge.  As I do not own Old West I used George & Basic Shapes to build the barn in Cricut Design Studio.  I do this occasionally when I do not have the correct cartridge.

The barn was built using a square, a triangle, and several rectangular shapes from George all welded together in Design Studio. The barn doors were build with a square and welded rectangular strips.  Bazzill teal cardstock was used to cut the roof and door trim. A rusty brown Bazzill cardstock was used for the barn doors and decorative strip.  The barn was cut on a piece of Imagine printed cardstock.  I placed white cardstock in the Imagine and from the basic shapes I selected a large square.  I edited the shape to fill-in with this great orange print from the Imagine More cartridge.  I then cut the barn bottom layer from the orange print.

Using the Cricut Imagine More cartridge I cut this adorable cow in two layers, body and head.  I printed her and added her to the edge of the barn using pop dots.

I printed and cut the phrase Moo-mories from the Imagine More cartridge twice.  I trimmed away the "-mories" sections and only kept the word Moo.  I attached the words to the upper section of the barn.

Again using the Imagine More cartridge, I cut three pieces for the tag above.  I selected the colors/patterns and then cut the three shapes.  I used the Cricut Expression to cut the "Happy 3rd Birthday" and name phrase from George.  The letters were first welded in Design Studio. I used liquid glue dots to affix the letters to the tag.

I made a quick trip to Target and purchased a gift bag in shade of blues to blend with my barn, tag and cow colors.  I affixed the the barn and cow layer to the side of the bag and used two of the ribbon streamers to tie the tag to the bag.

I will be back tomorrow with a quick Halloween project to share.  Have a good Monday!
