Cooking with Cricut #80

Jump on over to http://www.cookingwithcricut.com/ to play along with me on another great Challenge!

Today's Challenge is Easter

For this card I used Close To My Heart Art Philosophy for the kraft stamp and square shapes.

Supplies
CTMH Art Philosophy Cartridge for the Kraft cardstock stamp shape edged in Papertrey Hawaiian shores ink
CTMH Sentiments stamp for the background stamp with Papertrey Raspberry Fizz ink
Peachy Keen Easter Egg Words and Bunnies for the center design stamped in Archival Sepia
LetraSet Pro Markers to color in the bunny and egg
Papertrey Ink Hawaiian Shores Ribbon and cardstock base
scrap beige cardstock
pop dots
adhesive


When designing this card, I thought about making the kraft stamp shape bigger, but I wanted it just to barely be behind the egg, so that you could see the random stamped background and to not take away from the egg shape.

My first shaker card

It's a shaker card!  Yea that is glitter there in the butterfly.  My boyfriend really likes butterflies so I made this valentine with that in mind.  It has some static in the glitter it looks like, so there is a little sticking but I think you can see the bulk of the glitter at the bottom :)
I got this idea from PaperTrey's Blog and really wanted to make it.  I don't yet have any PaperTrey supplies so I could not enter this there.  I wanted to make something with my Cricut, and for this project I learned that you cannot cut craft foam without a deep cut blade.  I also tried this the first time with zip dry glue, nope you really do need to use the sticker maker as they show in the blog.  Wow, the second one I made was so much better!  That is the one that I used.
