Grad 2013 Subway Art Card

WOW!  I can't believe how time flies.  My daughter is graduating this year, so I made some subway art for her. 



This is a card I created.

I pop-dotted the images up after cutting them in gold.  I also added some silver cord and a some silver bling to dress up the card a bit more.

You can always leave the card plain to feature the subway art look. 

Materials Used:

• Cricut cartridges Ashlyn's Alphabet, Varsity Letter, Recess, Lyrical Letters, Plantin Schoolbook and Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake Art
• Stampin' Up! Black cardstock
• Recollections White Gold shimmer cardstock
• Gold cardstock from my stash
• Stampin' Up! Silver cord
• Silver bling

The card can easily be changed up to reflect the graduate's school colors.  Another way to "mix it up" is to pop a piece of colored cardstock behind the desired object/word to create focus.  The art can even be enlarged to create a graduate decorative platter, framed art, or even door or wall art. 

I am including my CCR file for easy recreation:

Cricut Daily Challenge - 08-09-10

Today's challenge was a color combo:

I created a 2 page layout of my son. Cart used was Freshly Picked and Create a Critter, Plantin Schooldbook & Nursery Rhymes for the phrase. I sewed the edges of the frames and pages with two different stiches and colors of thread. The buttons on the overalls are brads. The "cloth" of the overalls are Bashful Blue SU DSP. And lastly, the larger buttons are created using the Martha Stewart button punch.

Cricut Daily Challenge - 08-01-10

Hi Everyone! Today's Cricut Challenge was Product - Bling...glitter. I created this card using shimmery black, silver & gold cardstock, silver glitter (it's still all over me) and Cricut carts Nursery Rhymes and Plantin Schoolbook. I removed the cow from the moon and welded the sentiment for inside the card to match the pre-made phrase "over the moon". I used the font from Nursery Rhymes to do this. The cityscape is a border from Plantin Schoolbook. I cut this out twice so I could pop up some of the buildings. I hope you like!
