Crafts With Cutters Challenge #119

Happy Wednesday!  Our "Crafts With Cutters" challenge this week at MyPaperCrafting.com is "Chilly Celebrations."  Melin tasked the Design Team with creating a wintry birthday, anniversary, wedding or shower project this week.  This was the perfect challenge for me . . . I needed both an anniversary and a wedding card this week!  

Here is the wedding card for our niece  Stephenie, who is getting married this weekend in North Carolina:

The recipe:

• The mat, snowflake and "Mr. & Mrs." were cut using the Cricut Tie the Knot cartridge.  The mat is the card feature and is cut at 4 1/2" wide by 6 1/2" tall.  The snowflake (pg. 41) s cut at 2" tall.  The phrase (pg. 62) is cut at 4" wide.
• The penguins are from the Cricut Simply Charmed cartridge. and are cut at 2 1/2" tall.
• The top hat and bridal veil are from the Cricut Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge.  The hat is cut at 1 3/4" wide.  The veil was cut at 1 7/8" tall.
• All papers are from my scrap stash except the card base.  The card measures 5" x 7" and is Bazzill "Pinkini" card stock.
• I used Stickles on the veil, top hat band and snowflake.

My second card is for my Mom and Step-Dad who are celebrating their third wedding anniversary today!

Here's the recipe:

• The branch and bird house are cut using the Cricut Winter Frolic cartridge.  All of the papers are from my scrap stash -- the image was cut at 5" wide.
• I used some Stickles on the branches and roof of the birdhouse for "snow." 
• The mat was embossed using the Divine Swirls Cuttlebug folder and I inked the edges.
• The bird's beaks and eyes were given their shine using 3-D Crystal Lacquer.  The small clear rhinestone heart is from Michaels.
• The sentiment was created using Microsoft Publisher.  
• The inside reads " . . .  to our favorite lovebirds."
