Shades of Splendor!

We were able to pick our favorite color and then use it in three shades to complete the card front.
So of course I used Purple! I Love Love Love Purple!
I actually had the printed paper in my stash, and it's design is shades of purple! I layered it on purple cardstock, but I thought the colors blended too well, so I inked the edges of the printed paper with plum ink and then layered them. I added a dark purple velvet ribbon across the front and topped it off with lavender foam balls.
There is enough space on the side where a sentiment can be added later, or it can be left as is for a bit of an elegant feel.
I like how they turned out, tell me what you think!
You can check out the Swap on the Cricut Message Board Fall/Winter Card Front Swap and The Hostess will post all the card fronts once she receives them!



Nontraditional Christmas Colors!! So of course PURPLE!!! I found this dotted purple paper and knew I wanted to us it....but with what? I next found a paper with Christmas postage stamps in a variety of "faded", vintage colors in Purple, burgundy, cream and green. I decided on a background from the red family to match the printed "stamp" paper. I didn't want the colors to look too "Red Hat Society" so I trimmed the cut pieces in a metallic brown. A gold bell and some purple skittles to finish it off!!! Purple, Burgundy and Brown....Nontraditional!
If you want, check out this swap on the Cricut Messageboard...Gina posts a link to all the card fronts in the first post when she recevies them!



Fall Colors! Our theme for October was fall colors, I wanted to do something alittle different...I found the background paper with slightly muted colors and decided to build a card front with these colors. I added the leaf, to me crunchy leaves are a big part of fall! The ribbon says Welcome Fall...


Masculine! A masculine Thinking of You or Birthday....
YIKES!!!....This is different for me! I LOVE my BLING and ribbon....but of course those were out...What was I going to do?!?! LOL
I finally did put together a masculine card...no bling, no ribbon....instead, I used leather and rope for the ribbon and eyelets for the bling!!! What do you think? Does it work???
I stamped "Make a Wish" on a paper with a wood plank look. The card front bottom is a "blue jean" paper and the top is a distressed stripped paper.

We had a choice between two themes for the month of August...
"Thinking of You" or "Just a Note"
I decided on "Just a Note"...My Daughter has been in Band and LOVES her music, so I have a few stamps related to music! I also had a "just a note stamp"...and the music note background paper...Perfect, right?!?!?!
I love the Black, White & Red color combination, so I accented my card front with red....I really like how it turned out...I hope everyone in the swap does too! http://www.cricut.com/messageboard/tm.aspx?m=4112234&mpage=1&key=&#4112234


June's theme was Thank you! Oh there are so many ways to say Thanks! I started with this pink paper with a brown dot pattern that was faded along the edges...I really like the paper, I paired it with the brown, and picked this blue to keep it soft...like the faded edges. My Thank you stamp was punched with a circle because of the swirls in the paper...and I added a sheer pink bow to top it off! http://www.cricut.com/messageboard/tm.aspx?m=4112234&mpage=1&key=&#4112234


Floral was the them for May... I made a couple different color combos for this swap, My DD wanted to pick colors and she inked around the images that I colored with the MCPT. We used glittery paper with a flower print for added sparkle and to follow the theme, The Stamp is a Suzy's Zoo Stamp, called Suzy's Daisy. I can not find the pictures I took, but I was able to get the picture the hostess took.

I joined this great little swap on the Cricut Message Board. Each month we make a set of 8 Card Front only. They can later be attached to any card base. Our hostess has provided a six month list of themes for us in advance...if you are too busy to participate in a month, just let her know, so she is not expecting ~waiting on your card fronts to arrive! this has been a wonderful drama free swap! Our hostess has been doing a great job...she evens posts pictures of all the card fronts she receives in....so we can all see what we are missing!!!! LOL Check it out..... http://www.cricut.com/messageboard/tm.aspx?m=4112234&mpage=1&key=&#4112234
