The Unique Scrapper: Espresso

Sunday, January 20, 2019

I've always been a huge Cricut fan, and over time the types of projects I've created has vastly improved.

I've morphed from just a few shapes, page elements, titles, etc. to full blown scrapbooking layouts and cards.

Here is one of those cards:

Of course I did make a few modifications to the original Design Space File by Cricut from the exclusive
Close to my Heart Cartridge Artiste.

Here is my shared and modified version of the Design Space File.

The Close to my Heart cardstock colors I used were Almond, Toffee, Mint, White Daisy and Espresso.

The sentiment "Thanks" is from the January 2019 Stamp of the Month stamp set "Card Captions".

This stamp set is only $5 when you purchase $50 or more from my online store.

I love that there is still space on the inside for a handwritten message.

I chose to embellish the inside top corner of the card with a few stamped images for some added flare.

The entire card is distressed with Toffee ink for some added dimension.

I submitted my card to the following challenges:

Pile It On Challenge Blog - #150 Land Animals and/or Sea/Water Animals

Today's Card Features a Digital Stamp from Angie's Digital Stamps

for our Think Big Challenge over at Pile It On! Challenge Blog.

This card features layers of Goldrush, and Espresso Cardstock.

To add dimension, I used Nutmeg Ink to distress the edges.

I also added 3-D Foam Tape to the back of the cut out image for dimension.

I finished the card off with the "Yippee" sticker from the Prickley Pear Complements.

I also entered my scrapbooking layout into the following challenges:
