MCCR Card Creating Tuesday

Good morning to all my friends out there:)  Today's post is for my Design Team post for My Cricut Craft Room.  Today is Card Creating Tuesday and the theme is cards with a window.  I figured where Temps around here are getting cooler at night, and I have a few pumpkins growing, and that made me think...Autumn.:)  So that said...I used the cartridges Stretch Your Imagination and Martha Stewarts' Seasonal cake cartridge to make today's card.

I used the size 5 and 1/2 by 5 and 1/2 for this card on orange card stock form Colorbok, it gave me plenty of room  to play.  I cut the card at 5and 1/2 on page 42 in the book, and kept it on that setting to cut the windows' frame, and the leaves.  I then cut out a piece of card stock from the Bo Bunny Garden Girl Collection for a mat and used my crafting knife to cut a square in the middle to have opening for window.

 
  The next thing I did was I to cut out another card in white card stock and cut out the words "Autumn" so that the orange letters showed through and glued it to the top after I used one of my fancy corner punches, sorry, I do not know the brand, definitely going to research though:)

 
  The next thing is I wanted a few pumpkins to add to the card, I knew MS Seasonal cake cartridge had some , so I pulled it out and cut a few of them at one and 3/4 inches, one and 1/4  inches and  some at one Inch.  On the larger pumpkin I used the "cake" button  and the shift key to cut the out side design layer. Using Tim Holtz   Spiced marmalade, I inked the edges of the pumpkins and a little Walnut too.  I used white gel pen to highlight as well.   On the inside a cut another window frame and with the zig pen I added it to the back side.  on the facing side I added a strip of scrap paper I had to match the flowers and papers on the front of the card.  A long time ago I purchased some flowers on clearance at Wal Mart, they were Orange and gold with gold rhinestones in the middle of them, so I dressed up the card on corners and in center of flowers. Lastly for "BLING"  I added 3 small gold rhinestones to bottom left.
     
I believe the flowers are Petaloo, I have a big bag of assorted flowers and I believe they all came together.

So besides using my Cricut, ATG Gun and fabritac, I think that is all that I used today to create my card:)  I hope you like it and will stop back again::)

Have a fun Crafting day!!!
