Guest Designer for Crafting by Designs


http://craftingbydesigns.blogspot.com/
I am excited today to be the Guest Designer for the Crafting by Designs blog! I wanted to create a fun, adorable, and meaningful card for this blog.  Check out my project and let me know if you think I have accomplished my goal!  I had a great time making it!

This card is a tri-fold card.  The image on the front cover is "Messy Jessy" from the Besties collection.  She was colored using Photoshop and adorned with flowers, pearls, and love!  The "Love" letters and Scrabble tiles were made using the Plantin SchoolBook Cricut cartridge.  They were inked to add a bit of pop!

The saying, "Some days there won't be a song in your heart, but sing anyway" was designed to cheer up and to provide encouragement to someone in need.  It is paired with an adorable bear cut using the Create a Critter Cricut cartridge.

The hearts on the right side of the card were made using the Jubilee Cricut cartridge.  The center space provides a box to add your sentiments and/or greetings.  Paper flowers and a Martha Stewart border punch complete the box.

I hope you enjoyed my project today.  Thank you so much to the design team at Crafting by Designs for selecting me as a guest designer for their blog.  It has been a pleasure designing this card and being a part of your blog today.

I will be entering this card in the following challenges:
 The Cutie Pie Challenge Blog- Die Cut and Punches
(Cricut cuts/Cameo cuts and Martha Stewart punch)
Pile It On- Floral Fantasy
Cut It Up- Anything Goes with a Die Cut
Fan-Tastic Tuesday- Patterned Paper
Paper Crafting Journey - Anything Goes 
Crafty Catz- Anything Goes
Word Art Wednesday- Anything Goes

Have a fabulous day!
Cindy
