Halloween Treats

Hello all my crafty friends. 

First off I just want to send my thoughts and

prayers to all affected by Hurricane Sandy!!

I just wanted to post a couple of quick pics.

These are the treat bags I made for

the 5 grandkids that live

here in California.

Their church has a Harvest Festival

so they do not really celebrate Halloween.

I made it easy on myself this year

and made the same bag for each one!!

I used Simply Charmed for the pumpkins

The font for the sentiment is from

A Child's Year, welded on my gypsy.

I used Peachy Keen Cornie Faces and

New Year's Faces for the pumpkin faces.

Here are the little treats I made for mine

and my hubby's coworkers.

I used the My Creative Time Tri-Fold Card Die.

The label is from Lacey Labels and the sentiment

is from Pink By Design.  I added some crinkle ribbon,

buttons from Recollections and more of my

homemade stickpins!!

They loved them, some of the ladies

took the stick pins off and were wearing them

on their lapels!!

Thanks for stopping by today!!

I am entering these treats in the following challenges:

WYEGW - Use Cricut Markers or Gel Pens

For Today's Would You Ever Guess Wednesday

with My Cricut Craft Room

we were asked to use either Cricut Markers

or Gel Pens to draw our images

instead of cutting them.

I really ran with this theme

and made 3 cards.

I have only used my markers once before

and have never used my gel pens!!

All 3 of my cards were made using the

Silhouette Feature on the

A Quilted Christmas Cartridge.

All pattern paper is DCWV.

First up is Santa from page 31.

So sorry, I did not write down

what size I drew these at.

I think Santa is at 4"

I added some Xmas Red Stickles

and Onyx Liquid Pearls.

I filled in his beard and fur

on this hat and coat with Liquid Applique

and then heated it with my heat tool

after letting it dry overnight.

The sentiment is from My Creative Time's

"From Our Family to Yours" stamp set

stamped onto her Stiched Oval die.

I heat embossed with Zing Embossing powder.

Next up are the presents from page 76.

I thing these were drawn at 6" in length.

Just love the way this card came out!!



I added Silver and Turquoise Stickles

and colored the presents in with various markers

and blending pen.

The sentiment is from My Creative Time's

"Card Sentiments" stamp set

embossed with Zing Embossing Powder.

Last up is the candle border from page 69.

I added more stickles and Liquid Applique.

The sentiment is from My Creative Time's

"From Our Family to Yours" stamp set,

also heat embossed!

Thanks for stopping by and please

make sure you head on over to

My Cricut Craft Room

to see more great projects

using the Cricut Markers and Gel Pens!!

You're Moovelous

Happy Friday to all my friends.

I wanted to make a quick post for a challenge.

I made this card for a card swap

using Animal Kingdom for the cow.

Isn't she cute???

The background was made with

Tim Holtz Distress Inks

in Mowed Lawn and Salty Ocean.

I also added some Glimmer Mist.

The sentiment is from My Pink Stamper

The eyes are from Peachy Keen

Character Face Parts.

I will be entering this in the

FCCB Challenge Me Monday - Down on the Farm

Letter of the Day - Letter P

 

 

 

Hello and Happy Monday!!!

Today at My Cricut Craft Room

it is Letter of the Day,

and this week it is the Letter P.

We can use a cartridge or an image

that begins with the Letter P.

 

I made a christmas card using

Pooh and Friends.

I have have this cart for along time

and this is the first time I have used it!!

 

 

I used the cute little Pooh Head from page 18 of the handbook

cut at 2.5".  The Santa Hat is from page 60 at 1.40".

All the paper I used is from Echo Park Very Merry Christmas

Paper Pack, which I purchased from

Erica's Store.

I cut the card base at 9" x 4 1/2",

so I ended up with a 4 1/2" x 4 1/2"

square card.  The second brown layer

is a Spellbinders Label 18.

The green layer is Spellbinders

Lacey Circles.  Each layer is

popped up with foam squares,

Pooh is mounted on an Action Wobble.

 

 

 

I cover the white trim on the hat with

Ranger's Snowflake Embossing Tinsel

which I also got from Erica.

 

The sentiment stickers were from the same

Echo Park Paper Pack.

I added some crinkle ribbon from

My Craft Spot in Cranberry

and Vintage Pine.

I also inked all the layers

with Tim Holtz Distress Ink.

For this first card, I cut the Witch  at 4" 

from Trick or Treat and the cauldron

was cut at 2.25" from October 31st .

The paper is Imaginisce Monster Mash.

Her cute little face is stamped with

Peachy Keen's Wide Eyed Kids Assortment.

I covered the entire cauldron in glossy accents

The paper is from DCWV Fall Stack from last year.

I covered the leaf with Flower Soft in Autumn.

It has a wonderful fuzzy texture!!

For my final project, I used Very Merry Tags.

These tags were all cut at 4" and

were so easy and fast to put together.

All paper is from DCWV Christmas and

Winter Stacks from last year.

I even saved the negative pieces left

over and plan to use them

to make additional tags.

I added a little bit of stickles to accent the tags

and some ribbon from my stash.

Card Creating Tuesday - Guardian Angel

Hello, and welcome to another

Card Creating Tuesday with My Cricut Craft Room.

Today is Guardian Angel Day, and we were

asked to use and angel or anything

associated with angels on our project today. 

Plus, from now until Oct. 15, we

are still using pink somewhere on our

projects.  I am choosing to display pink

proudly as my mom is a survivor.

For my project today, I used the beautiful Angel

from A Quilted Christmas.  I am really loving this

cartridge.  It has at least 4 different ways to cut

each image.  Love the variety.

I cut my angel and all her layers at 5.75"

All the paper is from my stash, various manufacturers.

I debossed the wings using a Damask Decor

Cuttlebug folder.  I embossed the hair

with Divine Swirls.  I added some Stardust Stickles.

The stuff in the corners is called Shaved Ice from

Stampendous.  It is really cool!!

I added some pearl flourishes.

Here is a close up

Her face was stamped with Peachy Keens

"Laffy Taffy" Face Assortment.

This perfect sentiment was found

on Winter Frolic, it was cut at 1.5"

and higlighted with some more Stardust Stickles!!

May Angels be watching over

you and your loved ones!!

Be sure to check out the other Angel cards

today at My Cricut Craft Room.

And don't forget this weekend is

our 100 Cartridge Blog Hop!!
