Cricut Card

Today I made this card for the My Creative Time Throw Back Thursday Challenge.  The challenge is to use any retired cartridge.  I used the Car Decals cart for this one.  It has the cutest bug on it!

As the grand prize, one person will win a spot as a guest designer AND receive her newest release of stamp sets and die cuts! It would be an absolute dream come true to be on Emma's design team! Her stamps are my absolute favorite, they stamp beautifully and they are so cute!  One day I hope. 

As for my card, I didn't want my Cricut to get jealous of my Gypsy card, which is now my ALL TIME FAVORITE!  You can see it HERE.  I had to make sure I included my bug into one of my projects too!  This ended up being the perfect image because I have a friend at work who just got her baby bug and I wanted to thank her for doing something very nice for our second grade team. This card is perfect for her! 

Here is my card:


I used a circle for the base and stretched it with my Gypsy.  All the cuts are from Car Decals. 


I heat embossed the sentiment which came from Emma's My Favorite Sayings set.  I also dry embossed the black background using a Cuttlebug heart folder.  I hope you can see it in the picture.  It turned out just how I pictured it! 

Recipe: 
Circle and Cricut: Car Decals
My Creative Time: Sentiment from My Favorite Sayings
SU!: Crumb Cake card stock, Whisper White embossing powder
Twinery: Honeydew
Recollections: Black card stock

    Hi Maribel, what a cute card! thanks for visiting and following at "looking4blogchallenges" too. Maybe you'll put the PhD Cat button on your site as a hot button? That helps you get there fast and might bring more readers in as well. I'd certainly appreciate it. Take care.
