The timer is from "From My Kitchen" cartridge which I cut at 3 inches.  The paper is from DCWS Citrus Stack.

BBTB2 Bakery Challenge

Yummy! That's what our challenge is this week at BBTB2.  I'm hosting this weeks challenge and I thought it would be fun to have a theme challenge instead of asking for a specific image. 

So, our theme this week is "Bakery".  I want your cut to be something that you would see in a Bakery.  You can use any Cartridge you like but please make sure it's a Cricut cartridge and please specify which cut you used and which cartridge it comes from.  You can make a card, layout or 3D project.

I made this card using Love You Latte and cut the donut at 4 inches.  I heat embossed the "chocolate" layer and used my Gel Pen to draw the sprinkles.  The background paper is from K&C Company Designer Mat Series.

If you visit BBTB2, you'll see some wonderful creations by our Design Team.  Why don't you join this challenge and have some fun with us.  I look foward to seeing your creations.

Tulip Card

The first challenge for the Month of May at BBTB2 is being hosted by our very lovely Melissa.  She wants everyone to use a frame on their project.  It can be from any Cricut cartridge.   Although she prefers a layout, you can make a card if you so desire. 

I chose to make a card because I wanted to make a Mother's Day card for my MIL and I thought this frame would make a lovely backdrop for the tulips on this card.  I used Art Philosophy to cut the card and frame which are cut at 5 3/4 inches.  The tulip stamps are from Gina K called A Year of Flowers, Illustrated by Melanie Munchinger.  I inked the tulips on pink paper and the stems on green paper and then heat embossed them using UTEE.

Visit BBTB2 to get inspired by our truly awesome Design Team and to join in on this wonderful challenge.

Sweet Ice Cream Cone

This is the last challenge for the Month of April at BBTB2.  Our challenge this week is being hosted by our lovely Penny.  She wants everyone to create a project using an ice cream cone.  You can use any Cricut cartridge.

I used Sweet Shop to cut the ice cream cone which is cut at 5 1/2 inches.  I used the same cartridge to cut the strawberry which is cut at 1 1/2 inches.  The ice cream is embossed with Cuttlebug's Divine Swirls embossing folder.  The cone is embossed with Tiny Mosaics embossing folder and the strawberry is embossed with Swiss Dots embossing folder and then I inked the brown paper on the lower portion with clear embossing ink and powder and used the heat gun to set it.  The paper is from My Minds Eye, Paris & Co.

So come on and join us in this challenge.  Visit BBTB2 to see the awesome projects by the rest of the team.

BBTB2 - Bumble Bee/Ladybug Challenge

Here it is.....a new challenge at BBTB2 which is chosen by our very lovely Krista.  She wants everyone to make something using a bumble bee or ladybug from any Cricut cartridge. 

I used the bumble bee from Give a Hoot.  I cut it at 2 1/2 inches.  Then I used a lot of layers to give it dimension.  I also used Stretch Your Imagination to cut the Sunflower at 4 inches and used the Shaker Box technique to jazz it up.  You can find the tut for that on Splitcoast Stampers.  I also used embroidery thread to stitch around the card.  The sentiment is computer-generated and used Nestabilities oval and scalloped oval for that.

Come play along with us and be sure to visit BBTB2 to see some awesome stuff from the Designers.
