Cricut in Our Names Blog Hop Day #1

Hi Everybody!
Welcome to the Cricut in Our Names Blog Hop!  Hopefully you just came from visiting Erica over at My Cricut Craft Room.  If not, please head back there so you can start this hop from the beginning.  With Father's Day coming up, I have been making guy themed cards lately.  So I have one to share with you all today.  Now, onto my project!

*Father's Day Cricut cartridge

*Papertrey Ink - black card base

*DCWV - patterned paper

*Pink By Design - Gears background stamp

*Martha Stewart - glitter embossing powder

*Timeless Twine -  Black Coffee twine

*I stamped the background using Versamark Ink, and then sprinkled it with the glitter embossing powder. I love how the gears sparkle and shine!

*I thought this textured paper was perfect for this cut!

*The Father's Day cartridge is one of my all time favorites!  It's super simple to layer, and the cuts are a lot of fun :)

I hope you enjoyed my project!  Don't forget to come back tomorrow for DAY 2!!!  Now head on over to see

Timeless Twine Design Team Day - Father's Day Card

Hi Everybody!
I'm excited to be sharing another Timeless Twine design team project with you! With Father's Day coming up soon I decided to get a card done!!  You can use twine in so many ways. Here's how I used it to create a background:

*Father's Day Cricut Cartridge - title
*Timeless Twine - New Olive Green, New Chocolate Chip Brown

*DCWV - patterned paper

*Stampin' Up! - green mat

*Papertrey Ink- kraft card base

*Cuttlebug Embossing folder

 I am in love with these colors of twine!  Make sure you come back tomorrow to check out more amazing twine inspired projects from the design team!  And don't forget to check out the Timeless Twine June challenge HERE!  TFL, and have a twine-tastic day :O)
