FCCB Challenge #127: On The Job

 Hello Everyone,

It's time for another challenge at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog. This week we are challenging you to make a project with an occupational character (police, mail carriers, doctors, teachers, etc).

I made this card for my daughters class to give to our local Fire fighters. The kids had a fun afternoon wih the guys who welcomed them and showed them around the station. I enjoyed the trip too. I made the card 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 to give the kids enough space to sign it.

I like to cut the accessories from the Paperdolls Carts a few times in different colors  and edit them so that the images have different color layers. As I did with the fire truck (the firefighters have white trucks in our city).

What was used:

Cricut Everyday Paperdolls

Peachy Keen Everyday Character Faces Assortment

Stampendous Happy Messages Stamp Set

DCWV Patterned Paper

Recollections Cardstock

Signo White Pen

Black ink

Happy Scrapping!

Hello Friends Card

A graduate of the high school in my town is now a US soldier serving in Afghanistan. He wrote home to his teachers and the parents in the community, that there is a school near to where he is stationed in dire need of the basic supplies that children in the US take for granted. I got together a few supplies to donate, but when I was asked to make a card to send over with the package I was quite chuffed!

The package was to be sent for Christmas but I thought since Christmas is not celebrated in Afghanistan then I would make a friendship card. This is what I came up with.

The card size was 5 1/2 X 8 1/2. I made it twice the normal size to have enough room for the teachers and kids to sign it.

I used Everyday Paperdolls and Going Places carts for the cuts. I did have to edit the shirt on the Afghan boy with my Gypsy to get it long enough and his hat was just a cap with the tip trimmed off.
The boys and clothes were cut at 4 1/2 inches, The world was cut at 3 3/4.  I embossed the American boy's sweater with the snowflakes Cuttlebug folder then inked it to make it pop.

I used Peachy Keen Everyday Character Faces Assortment stamp set for the face and Glaze White pen for the white of the eyes. I downloaded the flags from online and printed them on photo paper and attached them to toothpicks.

The 'Hello Friends' stamp was actually taken from 2 different stamp sets. 'Friends' from My Pink Stamper Punny-licious set and 'Hello' from TPC Studio-Greetings set.

Enjoy. Please feel free to email me with questions and I love comments!
Happy Scrapping!

Some recent cards

I have been busy making cards. Here are a few of my favorites.

These cards were done using Forever Young Cricut Cartridge. I really love the images on this cartridge, its really fun to use for cards for your girl friends. I have also used my Cuttlebug embossing folders with them too.

 

These next cards I used two of my favorites flowers (Primas and Petaloos) and one of my Martha Stewart border punches.

I bought the DCWV Flower Shower Spring Stack and love it! Here are a few cards I made with the a few pages.

These are cards made with my Cricut cartridges or SCAL.

Other miscellaneous cards I have made with stamped images and one with a chipboard cupcake.
