Another Card from Club Night & Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge

The sun is still shining so I am outside makin’ hay. Literally in my case.
Thought I would share another one of the cards we did at our last club night.  I really like this one, and as it uses cut outs from the CTMH Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge, it was easy to prep for everyone!

birdhouse cardI used the bird  and wing from p51  and cut them out of Chocolate CS.  I used the sanding block to “ruffle” the birds feathers and also used the end of the rub on tool to break some of the fibers in the body of the bird so it would “puff out” a little.  Once it was puffed I attached it to the card using foam tape.

The Branches are from p35 in 2 sizes (don’t recall the size, sorry) and the leaves were cut off the branch with leaves on p43.  I then creased the leaves down the center to give them more appeal.

The bird house in used on this card was from a free set I picked up at a craft show, but for club night I used a solid arrow(p64) pointed up, trimmed the shaft of the arrow and added a strip along the bottom for a base.  You can trim the points of the arrows to really make it look like a real bird house.

I sponged “clouds” with sky ink (what else)  to make the words look like they were in the clouds.

Have a great day!

 

Yes, It’s Definitely July

Well, as I spent my morning doing computer/house work, and my afternoon on a tractor being hot and sweating while bailing hay, I would say it must be July.

Once more no crafting was done, but the house is still fairing well thanks to my push to stay on top of things, and my daughter’s motivation to get paid for babysitting her brother.  She really has done well keeping things better than she normally would with few complaints.

Looks like I’ll be able to go to the all day crop on Thursday as the weather forecast is for thunder storms. Maybe I should try and use the alcohol markers to color in the July Stamp of the Month images as that is going to be use on our project in August.  Hmmm.  Perhaps I will.  I’ll put a sneak peak up tomorrow if I do manage to keep my eyes open.

So today I’ll show off one the cards we did in June at club night!  I used the Art Philosophy cartridge for both ovals and the sentiment piece on the bottom of the card.
