Red Hot Challenge! Be Inspired #66

This week's challenge at Cuttlebug Challenge is a Red Hot one! Those of us that have the Asian Folders are still showcasing bringing you some great designs as we CountDown to Winter CHA!
The challenge is to create a Pocket Card, and the primary color is RED!

I love House Mouse images, and these little fellows are all excited about the Asian Folders, too! I colored the image with Copics, matted it with Bazzill gold, and then embossed the red with the new Woven folder. The tag is from Cricut's Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge, and it is embossed with the Scales folder. I added a button, and black ribbons for interest. The message is done in blue ink to look like a fortune cookie message. The inside of the card says "To wonderful you, from thankful me" and these stamps are from Stampin' Up!

Now your challenge is to create a pocket card with the main color of red, and post it to Cuttlebug Challenge! Check out the DT and see what they have created to inspire you!

I'm back to the studio to create more goodies to be showcased at CHA!!!

I'll see you again soon!

Happy crafting ~

Konnichiwa! Introducing the Cuttlebug Asian Collection from Provo Craft!! This week's Cuttlebug Challenge is to create something featuring white, and those of us fortunate enough to have the new Asian Collection are showcasing one of the new folders that are being officially introduced at CHA!! (There has been a soft opening, and you can purchase them now a few places :-D)

This brings back wonderful memories to me, because we lived in Okinawa for three years, and our oldest daughter, Tori, was born there. :-D

For my card, I chose Core'dinations Whitewash collection paper, and cut it 5 1/2 x 11, then scored it at 4 1/2, and 9, so there is a 2" flap to fold inside. It has a pretty green inside, and when embossed with the BAMBOO FOLDER the bamboo image is sanded to come through in green.

I also trimmed the right edge with the Martha Steward Deep Cut Lattice Scallop punch.

The fan is cut from the PAGODA Cricut cartridge from Provo Craft. I cut it in white, stamped the leaves with an Inkadinkadoo Asian stamp, and scored the fan lines with my SCORE-IT. I then added Martha Stewart white wedding flowers, and a handmade yellow tassle. Inside are three Kanji words also cut from the PAGODA cartridge, and backed with circles and squares cut with the GEORGE cartridge.

Be sure to check out Cuttlebug Challenge to see what the rest of the designers have created this week, and add your entry to Mr. Linky! Also, be sure to check back on Thursday for the introduction of a brand new team that will be focusing on the Cricut every Thursday! There will be a lot of great things happening, and you don't want to miss even one!!

Thanks for stopping by, and I appreciate your comments.

Sayonara!

Happy crafting ~
