Would You Ever Guess Wednesday with Cricut Craft Room

2012-02-01T06:00:00.003-05:00

Morning! It's another fabulous WYEGW where I am using a Cake cartridge to create something other than a cake.

This week I chose the Martha Stewart Seasonal Art Cartridge to create this fun little tag that could be added to most any Valentines Day gift. I apologize in advance for the poor picture quality it is from my iPhone.

The base hearts (2 of them) where cut at 3.5 in on Colonial White Cardstock by CTMH

The top Heart was also cut at 3.5 on the same cardstock but filled with a pattern from the Imagine cartridge Hopscotch

Be Mine was cut at 1.5 inches I then used Martha Stewarts Glitter Glue and Carrara Marble Glitter on the letters

I used my crocodile and punched a hole in the side of the card after adhering everything together and used some twine to keep the 2 pieces together.

It is super simple, sweet and cute I really like the color yellow lately.. LOL

Please be sure to stop by Ericas' Blog at My Cricut Craft Room to see what the other DT Members have created for you today!

There is a Giveaway on my other blog you could win a set of the January Release {ippity} stamps by Unity, Check it Out!

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

Valentines Day Card

2012-01-25T06:09:00.003-05:00

Happy Hump Day Everyone!

I will be out of commission for a few days as I am having surgery today. (this post was pre scheduled)

I love to see Black as the base of a card
I used my Cricut Imagine and the Imagine More Cartridge
to print and cut the Hearts in layers. I then used patterns from the cartridge to
fill the hearts with different patterns. This cut comes with a rose but I omitted it.

I hung a TH Tag that says kiss
and the letter U from Pink Paislee Meringue
TH Vintage Photo distress ink around the hearts

I really do like the whole look of this card.
Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you get a chance to CREATE something wonderful with your Cricut, stamps, etc.

Happy Crafting!

2012-01-19T06:39:00.000-05:00

Today I am the Hot Chick sponsoring the Give Away at the Chick Challenge Blog..

Be sure to stop by and check out the Challenge!

I used the sketch from the Chick Challenge Blog

to create this card adding my own little twist to how I designed my card..

I used the {ippity} stamp set called "Bee" Better Together

I used a Marvy 2 1/2 circle punch for the main image

and a 1 1/4 fiskars punch for the colored image

I then used a Martha stewart punch to add the layered effect on the bottom of the card

and inked it using Linen Distress Ink

The flowers were made from scrap paper and rolled then I added glitter to them.

The pink ribbon is Stampin Up Ribbon from my stash

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to join in on the FUN!

Happy Crafting!

Tuesday with Erica's Craft Room

2012-01-17T00:01:00.002-05:00

Good Morning Bloggers, well it has been a while hasn't it?

Today I am blogging for Erica's Craft Room Design Team.

My project today was to use a Cricut cut and the Crop a Dile.

I do not usually use my crop a file for more than hole punching,

so I am glad that this was one of the options today for a project.

I love being challenged, thanks Erica!

The Card base is printed and cut from the Cricut Imagine Cartridge Yummy

using the Happy Birthday pattern paper (<3 it)

I then punched a 1 1/2 inch circle and distressed the edges

I placed my silhouette cur from the cartridge A Childs Year

(I cut the shadow in black and the cut in blue) and distressed it

I then placed 6 eyelets on the card.. I was going to do a whole circle of eyelets around the

image but I really liked the look I have here..

So in case you are wondering where I have been? I have been relieved of my seasonal position

because I will be having surgery next week, but I have been asked to come back when I am recovered

that they would gladly hire me back.. (yeah) since then I have been knee/waist deep in this mess...

re-doing my Craft Room.. it is a mess! I know I am a messy crafter, but at least it is my mess & I can find things 85% of the time when I am looking for them.. In this MESS I can't find anything it is amazing I have been able to craft...

I can't wait until it is finished!!

So thanks for stopping by today, be sure you stop by Erica's Craft Room to see what the other

DT Members have whipped up for you today.!

Happy Crafting!

Imagination Monday!

2011-12-19T13:45:00.002-05:00

Welcome to Imagine-ation Monday, with My Cricut Craft Room

As part of the DT I created a fun little project that I intended to be a door hanger for a neighbor, however my kids liked it so much we put it on the tree. LOL

This was created with the Imagine, Imagine Cartridge Enjoy the Seasons and the Cricut Craft Room to manipulate the images so it would cut a window out of the pillow box for me..

I cut the acetate from some I had left over from my daughters school project.

The ribbon was scrap ribbon

the flower was made from paper torn from a book.

Be sure to stop by My Cricut Craft Room to check out all of the other projects made for today!

Happy Crafting!

Art Philosophy & {ippity} Stamps

2011-11-17T00:09:00.000-05:00

Good Morning Bloggers! I hope you are all doing well!

Today I have a series of Christmas/Winter themed cards to share with you from the {ippity} stamp set Warm Wishes. I should actually start with the worst card, but I am saving that for the last photo.. Ha ha! This is the one I like the best, maybe because I have flowers & embossing on it..?

The Flowers are from the Cricut Cartridge Art Philosophy. The Blue paper is from my stash, extra piece so I am not sure. I embossed the white with the Swiss Dot CuttleBug folder. I inked the edges a little with the same ink color as Winter Wonderland, I want to say that I used CTMH Indian Corn Blue.

Here is Card # 2 in my Mojo weekend playing with the NEW {ippity} set Warm Wishes

After Card#1 that I posted Sunday and was utterly terrible!

This is a FANTASTIC improvement!

Kraft Cardstock - The Paper Company

White CS - The Paper Company

Juniper Ink color - Close to My heart

I have been rearranging my Craft Room so it is a TOTAL disaster..

Have you ever received a stamp set and had this awesome picture win your head of how you wanted your card to turn out, but once executed it ends up terrible?

Well that is how this card happened, I think with every NEW stamp set I receive I make 1 terrible card and then can move on to make a couple of decent cards before I lose my Mojo again..

LOL

Card#1 - OP Link

Cuttlebug Snowflakes Embossing Ink

CTMH Indian Corn Blue

Blue CS is Core' donations

My Cricut Craft Rooms Card Creating Tuesday

2011-11-15T06:29:00.000-05:00

Good Morning Everyone! Today is Card Creating Tuesday as a part of the My Cricut Craft Room Design Team..

Today I worked with Cricut Craft Room, My Imagine & the New DIGITAL images through Cricut Gnomes & Mushrooms as well as the Imagine Cartridge Santa's Village..

I did a really bad job at the mushroom because I was not looking at the digital handbook

Even though it doesn't have all of it's layers, I still like the look

Mushroom from Gnomes & Mushrooms

Base cut filled with brown from Santa's Village

Polka Dots also comes from Santa's Village Cartridge

Wood Grain paper from DCWV Tahiti Stack

Green Leaf Like Patterned Paper from

Using my Scallop punch I also punched 2 "flowers"

and using my circle punch on Kraft cardstock I punched 2 centers for the "flowers"

I used Peachy Keen Medium bear Facial Features (PK-135) for the center of one "flower"

for the other center I used K. Andrews Positive Thoughts set

I then placed a ribbon to look like a steam and leaf

the edges of the pp are distressed with scissors

I like how this card came together.. Best part I am using things from my NEVER ending supply of papers .. LOL

Thanks for stopping by today, be sure you go to Ericas' Blog

Card Creating Sunday

2011-11-13T12:44:00.000-05:00

Good Morning Everyone! Today is Card Creating Sundays as a part of the My Cricut Craft Room Design Team..

Honestly I was late, late, late in submitting my card to Erica so if you click on her link HERE and you do not see it, I apologize. At least you are seeing it here and I have linked up to Erica's blog so you can see the other fab cards for today.

Today I worked with Cricut Craft Room, My Imagine & the New DIGITAL images through Cricut Mustaches & Glasses

•You can now link your cartridges to Craft Room…unless they are linked to a Gypsy Cricut says they are working on the ability to link cartridges to Craft Room that are currently linked to Gypsy.
• Lots of new tutorial videos– that are super informative!
•Ability to purchase Cricut Digital Images!!

Yep…Cricut has digital images…and they’ve started out with several digital collections! Digital Collections are focused groups of images such as: Missionaries, Germany, Los Angeles, Mustaches/Glasses, etc.

Craft Room Digital Image Exclusives

Just Recently they added Digital Cartridges - {squee!! so EXCITED about this!!}

several of these digital copies are of cartridges that have been retired or not available to everyone before. I was SUPER EXCITED to see Snow Friends on there, because I sold this cartridge for $40 before I left Japan (it was in plastic still never opened) SMH.

Digital Cartridges

Back to my Card....

(love the reflection on my granite countertop)

Here is how I created this card

I took a square from the FREE Cricut Craft Room Basics Digital Cart

and made it 4x5 then I copied and pasted another square

I placed them next to each other and welded them

I then took the Mustache (from Mustache & Glasses) and placed it on the top of one of the squares and welded the image again

I then brought another mustache to the mat sized it to fit the card colored it in with black and print and cut on my Imagine

{Le Stache} is created with Thickers

Sentiment on the inside is from Unity Stamp Co

Paper on the front of the card is from My Minds Eye Mischievous

On the inside is from Authentique and MME Mischievous

The Mustache on the front is adhered with foam adhesive by Recollections

the smaller squared ones

I really love how this card turned out, it kind of has a Circus type feel to it, very Clean & Simple and best of all super easy and quick to make .

Thanks for stopping by today I hope you enjoyed my Card

"Le Stache"

Happy Veterans Day

2011-11-11T11:03:00.000-05:00

Heroes

By Jared Jenkins

In war, there are lives risked and lives taken

Men and women giving their best to defend what they love

They defend their country

Their honor

Their people

Some call them soldiers

Others call them heroes

Our veterans have risked their lives for us

They have lived through hell and fought with honor

Many have killed

And regret doing so

For every life, there is a soul

For every soul, there is a life

For those who have died, we show great appreciation and remembrance

For those who live, along with them live the horrific memories of battle

Some, memories of defeat

Some, memories of victory

Our veterans were more than soldiers

They were, and still are heroes

Until 11/12 if You shop at Joanns and show your Military ID you will receive 20% off your total purchase

Welcome! Hey Diddle Diddle

2011-11-08T15:11:00.000-05:00

My Hey Diddle Diddle cartridge came in the mail a couple of days ago and I really love the images on it! Before I head out to work I decided to create a quick and easy card with this FABULOUS Imagine cartridge!!

I cut this image at 3.5 and then on layers at 3.5

I wish I would have taken a side view image then you could

see how raised these layers are.. I used smaller dimensionals this time

I also inked the edges with Distress ink Vintage Photo by Tim Holtz

I think this is a super sweet card card, on the inside it reads little one...

Such a sweet Welcome Baby card... if you do not have Hey Diddle Diddle, check it out! You will be seeing more from this cartridge later this week!

Cricut.com has a look book for this Cartridge you can view HERE scroll down to Overview and then click the link that says Want to see the Look Book?

Happy Crafting, have a FABULOUS Tuesday!

Today I have the pleasure of showing you what I have worked on.. I chose the following Cartridges Imagine Best Friends, Cricut Every Day and Art Philosophy

This card was made using the Art Philosophy Cartridge

Acorn on the Card Feature cut at 5.0

I then cut 4 acorns, 2 in brown and 2 in different patterns at 2.0

I trimmed the patterned acorns to fit the top of the brown ones

The Card Pattern and Acorn Pattern came from the Best Friends Cartridge

I then inked the edges of the card, acorn cut out and Acorns with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress Ink

I printed the sentiment on white cardstock and then also inked with Distress ink

The Paper Company White Cardstock

Oriental Trading Dimensional Adhesive

EK Success Oval Punch

This card was made using the Best friends Cartridge
Kraft Cardstock by the Paper Company
Chair was cut at 3.5
and then a second time on layers
I inked the top layer and arm of the chair with distress ink
I then used Oriental Trading Dimensional adhesive to pop up the chair

I then printed the sentiment on white cardstock and distressed the edges
I used an EK Success punch to cut out the sentiment

I found these FABULOUS ATC cards! I mean Fab-U-lous!!! They are actually CANVAS, yes canvas with a sticky back! How fantastic is that?

So I painted the canvass with green, pink and some blue...

I cut the cricut head with Cricut Everyday on my Imagine (flood filled with green)

setting was 2.5 4.0

eyes were .8 4.0

I then used Diamond Stickles on the eyes

This is going to go on a scrapbook page..

Santa's Village

2011-11-03T13:49:00.000-04:00

All papers are from the Santa's Village Cartridge. The Plaid paper was cut at 4x5

Santa was cut at 3.5

then on Layers at 3.5

I used these pop squares from Oriental Trading and you can see on the side view

how much dimension they give the look

I was going for an ornament look, I tried to achieve that by adding ribbon to look like it was an ornament hanging on the card

I used my oval punch so I could add the sentiment Warm Wishes from the {ippity} set Warm Wishes, to be Released on Sunday November 5th. I then used Diamond stickler on the bell of his hat, his button on his coat and the furry part of the top of his hat as well. (His being Santa)
