Card Creating Tuesday - Christmas

Hello all my crafty friends and welcome back

to Card Creating Tuesday with

My Cricut Craft Room

Today is the 25th, on on the 25th of every month

our Theme is always CHRISTMAS!!

Plus, from now until 10/15 we are using pink

in all our projects in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness.

For Today's project I used A Quilted Christmas.

I just love the beautiful, intricate

images on this cartridge.

I chose to use the Ghost of

Christmas Past from page 41.

She is cut at 4".  Isn't she pretty!!

Here is a close up

I started with a kraft card base.

For the pink layer, I used a piece

of Coordinations Glimmer cardstock that

I embossed and then inked with Distress Ink

in Worn Lipstick.  I also sprayed it

with some Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Mist.

I added some Icicle Stickles.
I stamped her face with
Peachy Keen's "Laffy Taffy"
Face Assortment.

Here is a close up of the sentiment.

It is from My Creative Time's

"Warm Holiday Fun" stamp set.

I heat embossed it with Zing

Pink Glitter Embossing Powder.

I inked the edges of the card base and add

Pink and White Tulle.

Thanks for Stopping by and please

head over to My Cricut Craft Room

to see more Christmas cards!!

Theme Day Thursday - Shoes

Happy Thursday to all my Craft Friends!!

For the next month here are My Cricut Craft Room

we are turning PINK to show our support for

Breast Cancer.  To honor those who are currently

fighting the disease, survivors and to remember

those who have lost the battle.  From now until

October 15th, Erica has asked us to use  

PINK on every project!!  She said that we could

hide it on the back or cover it up, but I am going to

display it proudly, since my mom is a breast

cancer survivor.  She is one of the lucky ones, she

has been cancer free  for more than 7 years. 

Early detection is the key, so please make sure you

get your yearly mammograms!!

 

So the theme for today was one

of my favorite things  

SHOES!!!

 

I decided to use the oh so cute witches

 shoe from Happy Hauntings cut at 3.5".        

I started with a black card base.

The pattern papers is from DCWV all cardstock is

Coordinatons.  I used 2 different Cuttlebug

embossing folders. Sorry but, the one on the 2nd

dark purple layer, I do not know the name of,

but the one on the top light lavendar layer is

Divine Swirls.  I sanded the dark purple layer and

rough up the edges with an edge distresser,  I also

inked both layers lightly with Tim Holtz Distress Ink

in Black Soot.  I added some rhinestone swirls

from Recollections.  I also added some black pearls

from the dollar bin at Joann's as the buttons on the

shoe.  I finished it off with some black and white

twine and some pink glitter tulle. 

The tag and sentiment are from

My Creative Time.

 

Please go check out the rest of the ladies

on the design team that share my passion for shoes

at My Cricut Craft Room and

don't forget to get your mammogram!!!

Baby Shower Centerpiece

Ok, so today, I think I totally messed up...lol

Today is Would You Ever Guess Wednesday over at

My Cricut Craft Room.

On WYEGW, we are supposed to use any

image EXCEPT, the main image on the page.

Today we were also to use either 3 tags

or a rosette on our project.

Well I totally concentrated on the rosette piece

and forgot that I was not supposed to

use the main images.  I sure hope Erica

does not fire me for not

following the rules...LOL

So for this week's project I used

Ribbons and Rosettes(for the first time!!),

Create a Critter and Animal Kingdom.

Awhile back I had made a baby banner for one of

the girls at work.  Everyone loved it and one of

the other ladies in the office has a new grandson

due next month and she asked me if I could

make the same animals on sticks so that

she could but them in a floral center piece.

I told her sure I could do that!!

This is what I came up with.

All the rosettes were cut at 2" from page 23

of the book.  I cut 6 pieces for each rosette.

I used a Marvy Uchida Jumbo Scalloped

Circle Punch for the center piece which

I then embossed using the Cuttlebug

Spots and Dots folder.

All the pieces were inked with

Distress Ink in Mowed Lawn

and Broken China.

All animals were cut from Create a Critter

except the Tiger, he is from Animal Kingdom.

 Most of them were cut at 2.5"

All the faces were stamped with

various Peachy Keen face stamps.

I added some ribbon from Michaels to each one.

 

Now I just did not want to hand them to her,

so I decorated a recycled drink mix container

to put them in. This is what I started with:

 

I took off the packaging and this is what was left.

I have been saving these and knew some

day I would have a use for them...LOL

 

 

 I originally only made one, and put all

six in the same container.  She liked it so much

she asked  me to make her two more!!

I put some little glass pebbles in the

 bottom to weigh them down.

 

 

I had so much fun making these and finally

using my Ribbons and Rosettes cartridge.

They were alot of work, but turned out so cute!!

Plus I got paid for making these!!

Here are some close ups of the animals:

Letter of the Day - Letter J

 

Hello and Happy Labor Day to

all my crafty friends!!

I hope you all are enjoying your

wonderful 3 day weekend.

 

For this week's post I chose to create

a project using "Just Because Cards".

I made a very simple card to

share with you today.

I made a round card

using the sticker feature on the cartridge. 

The card base is cut at 5" from the

Art Philosophy Cartridge.

I used Kraft Cardstock.

The boot image I chose is on

page 65, and it was cut at 4.81"

The pattern paper is from Best Creations

"Cowboy Up" paper pack that

I got from the Shop at Erica's Craft Room

I added some Cinammon Stickles

and Chestnut Liquid Pearls.

 

 

 

 

Here is the inside of the card.  The phrase is on the same page of

the book and I cut 1.82".  The paper is from the same paper pack.

 

This was a quick and simple card to make.

 

Now head on over to My Cricut Craft Room

to see what the rest of the design team made today!!
