Three Amigos Blog Hop Challenge #13

Welcome to the Three Amigos Blog Hop. We are three friends with a love for stamping and scrapping, and would like to share our creative ideas with you. On the 3rd of each month, we feature a different CTMH product and create a card, layout, or other project. There are only three stops on this hop, so it will only take a few minutes to hop through. When you finish hopping, be sure to check out the Three Amigos Blog Hop Challenge!

This month's challenge is April Showers!  With rain, and possibly even snow, in our forecast, spring projects are very welcome. The Cricut Artistry cartridge contains a very cool raindrop background cut and an umbrella image to coordinate with it. I created a 6x6 card using some retired White Daisy textured cardstock that I've been hoarding saving for just the right occasion. I backed my raindrop cut (also from textured cardstock) with a piece of Lagoon B&T paper from the Adventure Fundamentals Paper Pack.

The umbrella is pieced together using Heather Cardstock, B&T from the Gimme Some Sugar Paper Pack, and Bashful Glitter Paper. I added a bit of Clear Shimmer Brush to the Heather part of the handle so it would sparkle like the glitter paper.

More Lagoon B&T on the inside, along with a sentiment banner cut using the Party Banners Thin Cuts. The sentiments are from a stamp set included in the Flower Market Cricut Bundle.

Thanks for hopping by today! Hop over to Lisa's Blog and Donna's Blog to see what they created for you, then over to the Three Amigos Blog Hop Challenge. We hope you play along!

Color Dare #258 Hi There Card

It's time for another Color My Heart Color Dare challenge! This week's colors are Black, White Daisy, Whisper, Sweet Leaf, Slate, Ruby, and Juniper.

I created a sweet card using a few cricut cut images along with some of our new Thin Cuts. I used Whisper Cardstock for my card base and the Simple Chevron Embossing Folder to create the White Daisy backdrop for my scene. The birdhouse is cut from Slate and Ruby Cardstock and stamped tone on tone with the coordinating inks.

The sentiment plays along with the bird on the branch visiting his little friend in the birdhouse. A few of the pieces are cut multiple times and stacked to create extra dimension on the card. To create the birdies' eyes, I colored Bitty Sparkles with the Black Shin Han marker. Black Glitter Paper adds a little sparkle to the card.

Another friend awaits inside to say, "Hi There!"

Ready to play? Just create a project using ALL and ONLY the colors in this week's challenge. If you don't have the exact colors, use the closest colors you have. You have until 10pm EST Thursday to enter! I can't wait to see what you create!
