When I started working on a project for this hop, I discovered while I own several Disney Cricut carts, I do NOT own a Mickey one.  Frankly, I am just not a huge Disney person.  I visited Disney World many times as a child but have never taken my son...and he doesn't really want to go.  Although my hubby says when the Star Wars park opens we are visiting!  I will only agree if we can go to the Harry Potter park.  

After discovering I had no Mickey cart, I pulled out the Licensed Character section of my scraprack which has a Disney section.  I found all kinds of good stickers.  I guess I thought I would use them on a scrapbook someday but they worked pretty well for my cards.  In fact after I made the landscape cards, I was lovin' Mickey and kept on going with some traditional Mickey colored cards.

Ingredients for the landscape cards:

Disney stickers

Poppy Stamps Stitched Hills Dies

Avery Elle Pierced Clouds Dies

Crafter's Companion Scenic Pines Die (Goofy Card)

misc papers including Graphic 45, Creative Memories, Bazzill, Coordinations, vellum

I guess I was hurrying...this last card isn't very straight.  Rest assure I will fix it before sending it out.  Wouldn't these be good to send to Children's Hospital?  I think that is what I will do!

Ingredients:

Disney stickers

Our Daily Bread Designs Stitched Circles

Queen & Co bling

misc papers including DCWV & Creative Memories

Quick Quotes Midnight Confessions chalking ink

You are Stronger than you think...

Hi, Alicia blogging today.  I created a card using the positive and negative of the die cut.  I love it when you can even use the scraps!  I did not use the actual paper but used the negative piece to create a stencil. First I covered the card base with blended inks.  Next I used the stencil to make a mountain shadow.  Then stamped the sentiment before adding the die cuts.

I used a couple of different specialty papers for the die cuts since the rest of my card was so simple.  Here's how I did it:

1. Cut the pieces of the die out twice.  This die has two pieces which will make 4 total.
2. Assemble two sets then cut one set to nestle behind the first set.
3. Adhere the first set in your desired place.
4. Adhere second set with pop dots for drama.
