Dotty for You - Fluttering By Card

This is the final card that I showed at the Cricut Class last week.  It is the 2nd card base on page 55 (card/shift keys).  I adhere a piece of Dotty paper inside the card show that it would show through the cut out butterflies.  I used a 2" butterfly that I embossed with the cuttlebug and adhered it with foam tape - I used Mocha Opaque for the body.

I stamped the sentiment and butterflies from the "A Tree" stamp set and used the stubble tool to add color to it.  I also used Paradise Baker's Twine.

Dotty For You - Butterfly Wreath

This is the project that we made last night at my Cricut Class.  I used a small wreath from Hobby Lobby and we added tulle and butterflies that I cut with the Cricut AP Cartridge. 

I embossed the butterflies with the Cuttlebug using several folders. We embellished the butterfly bodies with our Mocha Pearl Opaques and then adhered them to the tulle

with glue dots.

Winter Joy Snowman Card

The Winter Joy stamp set was used to create this winter scene.  We don't get much snow in our part of the world, but we love it when we get snow.  The kids beg to build a snowman and we rarely get enough to roll one up!  When the weather men forecast snow, we start praying for lots of it (like 3" or more).  Everyone around here says the forecast is usually wrong unless they forecast WIND!  They are never wrong about wind!  On that note - please pray for West Texas - we have been in a drought for about a year now and we really need snow, rain, something!

My favorite things about the Winter Joy stamp set are these kids building a snowman, the large word "JOY", and a sentiment that says "Laugh until your heart overflows." 

I embossed the background with the Swiss Dot Cuttlebug template and then sanded it so that it would appear to be snow falling.  The paper is Wonderland and I used the Bling Assortment, Pearl Opaques, and the flower is from the Bliss Level 2 Assortment. 

PS - Wonderland Paper and the Bliss Assortment are being retired as of January 31
