Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #285 Meets Sketch Saturday #429

Every other Monday there is a new challenge posted at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge blog!  This week we are inviting you to create a project using wet or dry embossing.  

I made this card for a dear friend who is also an avid golfer using the Sports Mania cartridge for the background.  Do you see the golf greens and flagsticks in the Topiary Green (CTMH) background?  The Happy Birthday panel was printed in Design Space from Anna's Lovely Layered Cards with a Cricut gold pen.  After the Happy Birthday was printed I dry embossed it or "debossed" it to resemble the dimples of a golf ball.  

The inspiration for my card came from Sketch Saturday #429:

I'm also submitting it to Hiding in my Craft Room challenge to use scraps (Gold piece behind sentiment is a scrap piece) and the Seize the Birthday challenge.

Anything But A Card Challenge for Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #266

Welcome back to another Fantabulous Cricut Challenge blog post!

Challenge #266 Anything But a Card

This Weeks Sponsor:

$15.00 Gift Certificate

To qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least 1 Cricut cut on your project and if it's not obvious, let us know what cartridge you used. If you use a Cricut Explore machine, at least one cut must be from the Cricut catalog of images.

 My project is several personalized thermal mugs that I intend to use as holiday gifts. A few months ago in a Cricut Mystery Box I received the Nursery Rhymes cartridge which I didn't think I'd ever use.  As I was looking through available fonts in Design Space I found that I really like the Nursery Rhymes font so I used it here.  

The golfer is from Sports Mania, the treble clef is from Quarter Notes and the stars array is from Close to My Heart Artbooking cartridge.  I used Recollections Adhesive Faux Metal as it matched the silver rings on the top of the mugs.

What will you be inspired to create and share with us at Fantabulous Cricut this week?  We hope you can find the time to play along.  Come check out what the rest of the fabulous Design Team has to share with you here.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful week filled with fun and creativity!
