Balloons made with Cricut Walk in my Garden, the crowns were made with the Sizzix embossing plate on Core'dinations card stock that I cut and sanded, then added glitter to the centers.

This cupcake was made by using my Cricut Walk in my Garden, the flower pot, I used a corner rounder on the bottom edges. The circles were punched with an EK Success punch, I used the Souffle pens to add the sprinkles. The card stock is from DCWV The Sweet Stack .

So I went from complicated and time consuming to very simple and easy in these cards. I hope you enjoy, thanks for looking. ~Diane

Just for Fun

Mojo Madness 107 Contest

OK so I am taking a stab at some challenges this week. This is not my usual style, but when I saw the layout at MojoMonday Sketch Blog I immediately thought of the crown embellishments and Princess rhinestones I bought last week. The rest of the card somewhat evolved from there. I kept trying different ribbons, and I did not like any of them until went for my mini boa. Perfect fit, and after all this is just for fun. And I certainly did have fun making this one. Thanks for looking. ~Diane

CLEARLY AUTUMN

The smell of Autumn is in the air. The trees are beginning to shed their leaves, everyone is busy putting the Halloween decorations up. So to celebrate Autumn, my favorite time of year, I made this card on clear polyester film. I made all the pieces with my Cricut Stretch Your Imagination cartridge. The pumpkins were cut from More Mustard Stampin Up, the leaves are done with Core'dinations Whitewash. I added some gold ink to the pumpkins, I like the effect. The tall pumpkin lying on its side is actually on the inside of the card, to be used as the signature plate. Thanks for looking~Diane
