FCCB Challenge #125: National Tooth Fairy Day

Hello Everyone,

Its time for another challenge at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog! This week I am very excited to be showcasing a beautiful stamp set from our sponsor Jaded Blossom.

 

Our challenge to you this week is to create a project using a tooth, the Tooth Fairy or a smile. Join us while we celebrate National Tooth Fairy Day. Remember you must use a Cricut cut on your card to be entered into our challenge. One lucky entrant will win the two stamp sets that some of the FCCB DT used. 

 The card base is 5 1/2 X 5 1/2

I think the sentiments on this stamp set are just so darling and the images stamped beautifully! I especially like the one I used on my card. The tooth on the flag is also from the stamp set; I first stamped the image, cut it out and then popped it up with pop dots. Here is a full look at this stamp set.

What was used:

Jaded Blossom Tooth Notes Stamp Set

Cricut A Child's Year Cartridge

Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge

My Mind's Eye Blush 6x6 Paper Pad

Recollections Cardstock (Shimmer and Glitter)

Ranger Victorian Velvet Distress Ink

Cotton Candy Devine Twine

Pop Dots

Please stop by Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog and see how the DT have used the Jaded Blossom stamp set and their Cricut to inspire you. Then join in the challenge for your chance to win the  stamp sets we used.

Happy Scrapping!

Nuts About Sketches - # 153

Hi everyone,

There is a new sketch on Nuts About Sketches this week. After seeing this page you will notice that I am not a scrapper by season and I don't scrap chronologically. I do a page I can feel! When I just started scrapping it was an advice told to me and I must say its the best advice I ever got in regards to my pages. If you have the perfect idea for a Christmas layout do it in Summer! Who cares as long as your pages are done!
