A Fruity Day Today

I was looking at some challenges and found a couple that I decided to make a card for. This one was really fun to do. Most of it comes from the Just because Cards cartridge.

The card base was cut at 5.50". The green layer I cut at 5.25" and then hand drew the scallops. I can hear you guys all yelling at me, your gypsy can do that for you!!  Yes if  only I knew how to work it. I really must do that soon too. The lemon is from the same cartridge, and cut at 3". The ovals were cut with my Spellbinder dies. The red oval I ran through my cuttlebug with the swiss dots folder. Buttons from my stash. Ribbon from JoAnns. Solid paper is Bazzill, the plaid paper is DCWV.

I will enter the card in the following challenges:

Sweet Summer Watermelon!

As I said in a earlier post I have been doing really good for a few days. I can't count on my  back and legs to cooperate with me living my life so I have to do as I can do it. If that makes sense?  So here is another card I was able to do yesterday.  I kinda like it, it's very summer to me, and bright, so it makes me happy!

The base is an  A2 out of really bright lime green. The papers are all  Bazzill. The ribbon is green gingham, I wish the picture was better. On the tan piece I used the mesh folder with the Cuttlebug. The watermelon and brown scallop on the side of the card base is from the Just Because Cards Challenge.  The banner is from the Just a Note that is preloaded on the E2 machine.  The lime green buttons are from JoAnn's. The little white dots I used my Inkssentials white pen.

I will enter this card in the following challenges:

Thanks for being a great Dad !

This is a pretty simple card. The layering was not at all bad to do. Some images I find a real pain to put together because of all the tiny pieces. The phrase however was a pain!! I think it was my paper though. I used a line called The Paper Co. This paper works great for large cuts or to use as a base, but small cuts tear, or at least for me. To give credit where due I got the idea  from Mary at Cardz TV.

Recipe

• A2 card base with Kraft cardstock.
• White layer, white basic cardstock
• Plaid layer is DCWV
• Cartridge is Just Because Cards:  the top note is on pg. 55. Red is 3.75, and white is 3.50. The white one I ran through the cuttlebug with the swiss dots folder.
• The melon also on pg. 55, was cut at 3.50 with all of it's layers.
• The phrase also pg. 55, was cut at 2.50. I only cut it once out of red. The melon was popped up.
• Inside says : I could say it a Melon times... Thanks for being a great Dad!

 I found a challenge that requires the use of Kraft cardstock. So I entered this card at The Kraft Journal.
