Celebrate the Occasion Challenge #18: Birthday

Hello everyone,

This week's Challenge at Celebrate the Occasion is Birthday but your project must have a party hat. I made a Easel Shape card for this project in the shape of a party hat. This was a little tricky to do but with the help of my Gypsy I was able to weld three tops of the party hat together, I flipped the middle one so that they would line up perfectly when the accordion fold was done. You can see a copy in the photos below.

 

What was used:
Gypsy  
Cricut Celebrations (All hat part cut at 5.5 inches)
Cricut Wild Card (Word 'Celebrate' cut at 4.5 inches)
DCWV Glitter Cardstock
DCWV The Celebration Stack
Stampin' Up Cardstock
Recollection Strass Rhinestones
Recollection Rhinestones

Visit Celebrate the Occasion and see the beautiful project Design Team 2 have submitted for inspiration, then create a card, layout or project and post by Sunday, June 19th, 11:59pm (EST). One winner will be chosen and entered into June's drawing for $20 gift card to Peachy Keen Stamps.

Happy Scrapping!

Its time for a new challenge at Celebrate the Occasion. This week Design Team 2 are challenged to create a project for a graduate.

I decided to try my first Easel card which I adapted to be money/ gift holder (just in case you don't know what to buy). I love the Easel card effect and I just love how easy they are to make!

My Pink Stamper Father's Day Challenge.

I made this card for MPS Father's Day Challenge. The prize is a new Cricut Expression. I used Wild Cards Cartridge for the greeting. which I cut in blue, red and black at 2 inches. The argyle paper is from DCWV Grade School stack. I love those sheets so much that I had to buy more of it and I was lucky enough to find it singly a Custom Crops for 59 cents per sheet. I hope you like it!

A Manly Card

I always find it hard creating cards just for men. I am not talking little boys here just the big ones (if they ever grow up). Here is one I made using Cricut Wild Cards Cart. It is quite simple but I think it came out well enough.
