Theme Day Thursday - Laundry

Welcome back and thanks for visiting.  It is Theme Day Thursday over at My Cricut Craft Room

 



 

Todays theme is LAUNDRY!!

 How fun is that!!  I love that Erica is challenging us to think outside of the box. 

 

So here is my project for today

I just think this card came out so cute!  I love the colors.  I actually used 3 cartridges for this card.  For the "laundry", I used Country Life Cricut Cartridge.  Plus, I used the banner feature key!!  The images I cut are on pages 59, 61 & 66.  They were all cut at 1.5".  I hung them on the line using twine. 

The word "just" was cut from Just Because Cards at 1.5"  The phrase "hanging out" was also cut at 1.5" from Simply Charmed.  The paper is DCWV Dot, Stripes & Plaids paper stack.  I added some more twine, plus a couple of bling flourishes from Recollections.  I also used a Martha Stewart border punch and inked the edges with a Studio G stamp pad.

Thanks for visiting and Happy Crafting!!

My Cricut Craft Room Design Team - My First Project!!

I am so excited, this my first post for the Design Team for Erica's at My Cricut Craft Room!!  This is my very first full time design team.  This is going to be a picture heavy and long post!!

For today's project, we had the option to make a Baby Boy themed project or to use the Flower Shoppe Cartridge.  I chose to use Flower Shoppe.  Here is my card.  Believe me, this card is so much prettier in person.

 So here is how I made these beautiful flowers.    I cut 2 different flowers.  I have to apologize, I use my gypsy for everything so I do not have the page numbers in the book, but on the keypad I used the flowers on the top row, from left to right #6 & #8.  I cut each flower 3 times, at 4", 3.5" & 3".  Here is what they looked like to begin with.  I cut them from plain ivory cardstock.

I then used my Imaginisce Petal Roller to roll the flowers

 The last step was to use a hot glue gun to put a dollop of glue at the bottom.
 This is what the flower looks like all rolled up and glued.
 Now, to add color to the flowers, I used 3 different methods.  First I inked just the tips of the flower with a dark purple ink.
 This 2nd flower, I dabbed a lavender stamp pad all over the flower.

For the 3rd flower, I sprayed it with Glimmer Mist.  I also sprayed all flowers with Glimmer Mist in Pearl to give them some sparkle.  Here is all 6 flowers, rolled, inked, and sprayed

So here is a picture of the finished card again.

The leaves were also cut from Flower Shoppe, I added the veins with my embossing stylus.  I finished it off with some crinkle ribbon from My Craft Spot in Deep Purple.  The Sentiment is from Close to My Heart "Happy Birthday" set.  I went over the stamping with my Sakura Gelly Roll Metallic Pen to give it some sparkle.  The Paper is also from Close to My Heart "Paper Garden" paper pack.  I also punched the ivory paper with a Martha Stewart border punch. 

Here are some close ups of the beautiful flowers.  I decided to used these Chrysanthemum type flowers becasue they matched the paper perfectly!!  I will save the other flowers for another project!!
