Thanksgiving Card for Cricut Cardz Challenge #45

Mary at Cricut Cardz Challenge has a Thanksgiving card challenge this week. This is going to be an easy one, anything goes! Use whatever cartridge and colors you want to use. Go join in the fun and get your Thanksgiving card uploaded for the challenge. And while you are there, check out all the other DT cards, here is mine:

I used three cartridges for this challenge - Doodlecharms, Create a Critter, and Martha Stewart Seasonal Cakes, and then I chalked and inked my cuts to give them some dimension.

Cricut Cardz Challenge #41 - my first DT card

Hi everyone! Head on over Cricut Cardz Challenge for challenge #41, and the 2nd half of the new design team's projects! This week's challenge is to make a fall themed card without using the colors  - brown, orange or yellow. Well, I don't know about the rest of the country, but in Michigan, a favorite fall activity is visiting the apple orchard, so I based my card on just that, with the colors red and apple green in mind. Hope this puts you in the mood for hayrides and warm apple cider. I can't wait to see what you all come up with for this challenge!

I found these red & peachy coordinating papers in an old DCWV fall stack and thought they would be perfect.

Cartridges I used were:

Cindy Loo for the font

Doodlecharms for the apples and the basket

Why am I making Christmas Cards??

I have no idea, but here goes one. I used acetate card stock to make a 'french door with windows' type Christmas card. (I cut the windows and then attached the acetate behind the doors.) I have the cut file for cutting these window panes on a card if anybody is interested, just contact me using my contact form.
UPDATE: I should say what I actually have is the gypsy file for this cut, and the shapes I used for the window panes is from walk in my garden cart. Sorry for any confusion, I was the one who was confused   :)

This Christmas tree cut is from Create A Critter, the snowman is from Winter Woodland and the bird wreath is from MS Seasonal Cakes. I ran the Christmas tree through my cuttlebug using the Herringbone embossing folder, and used stickles on the tree, wreath, and window panes.
Enjoy!

I am linking this card for the Be Inspired Challenge  #96 at cuttlebugchallenge.blogspot.

Here is what we were supposed to do.

YOUR CHALLENGE: Use acrylic or acetate, and your Cuttlebug on your card, layout, home decor, altered item, etc. Post your project to LINKZ below by Tuesday, Aug. 17th, and you could be our next winner!

My take on Peachy Keen Stamps Sketch Challenge #34

Peachy Keen Stamps Sketch Challenge #34 uses the sketch below.  This is my take on that sketch. This card is going to my sweet hubby who does indeed make my life a picnic!

Sketch:

My Card:

I used Doodlecharms cart to cut the watermelon, paper from Bazzill, Papertrey Ink and a DCWV stack, green ric-rac from Oriental Trading, Memento & Brilliance ink for stamping, Nesties labels #4, and the faces are from PK Simple Simon face assortment stamps. The ants... I could not find an ant border on my carts, I didn't have an ant stamp, I could not find an ant digi stamp I liked, but I did find a stamp carving kit I had purchased some time ago. So..... can you believe it, I carved an ant stamp! :)
