Perky Penguins

 

 

Hello all my crafty friends,

today is Theme Day Thursday

at My Cricut Craft Room.

 

The theme today is

"Perky Penguins"

 

Today I decided to do something

a little different.  A few months ago

I found this great idea HERE

Nadia shows how you can use

Teddy Bear Parade and other cartridges

to make morphed characters.

Today, I made a morphed penguin!!

I used the penguin head from

Animal Kingdom and the body

and outfit from Teddy Bear Parade.

Here is my morphed Penguin Elf!!

 

I scraplifted the idea and color scheme from HERE

The penguin and body are cut at 3".

The pink layer was cut with

Spellbinders Lattice Rectangles.

I also layered a Nestabling on top.

The white layer was cut

using my paper trimmer and the

corners were punched with a

Martha Stewart punch, then

embossed with the Swiss Dots folder.

The Penguin was

mounted using an action wobble.

I also added some designer trim

from Webster's Pages.

 



 

The eyes were stamped using

Peachy Keen's Bird Faces.

 

The sentiment is from My Craft Spot's

Mistletoe Stamp Set and stamped

onto Tiny Doilies Metal Dies.

 

Thanks for stopping by.

Please be sure to stop by

My Cricut Craft Room

Festive Fridays - Gingerbread

Hello and welcome to

Festive Fridays with

My Cricut Craft Room.

Today we were asked to use

a Gingerbread!!

I wanted to do something a little

different so I made a tag using the

Gingerbread Snowflake from

When It's Cold Outside.

I really like the way it came out!!

The actual tag was cut using

My Creative Times Tag Die.

The papers are from

Echo Parks Vintage Christmas Pad.

I cut the snowflake at 3" from glitter paper.

The base is Coordinations Glimmer Cardsctock.

I added some xmas red and

cinnamon stickles.

I also added a some

pearl bling from Recollections.

The label that I stamped the sentiment

onto is the curly label die from

My Creative Time.

The Sentiment is from Jaded Blossom's

Christmas Wishes stamp set.

I added a little bit of

designer trim from Webster's Pages.

I also sprayed the entire

tag with Walnut Gold

Glimmer Mist.  I also inked

it up with Distress Ink.

I will be entering this project

in the following challenges:

FCCB - Let it Snow

BBTB2 - Make a Gift Bag or Tag

I hope you enjoyed my project today,

please make sure you check out the

other Gingerbread project that

my DT sister Jaime made over

at My Cricut Craft Room.



December 100 Cartridge Blog Hop

Hello all my crafty friends!

Can you believe it is December already??

Christmas is just 24 days away, do you have

your shopping and crafting done yet??

I still have some shopping to do, but since I have

been making & posting christmas cards since October,

I have a slew of cards done!!

Well enough rambling, today is the day

for the 100 Cartridge Blog Hop with

My Cricut Craft Room.

You have have arrived from my dear

friend Shelley, if not please start at the

beginning so you don't miss anything!!

Due to some unfortunate circumstances

our team has shrunk in half within

the last month!!  So this time

our hop will only be one day.

Grab a snack and a beverage of choice

and join us for some great Cricut inspiration!!

This month I made 3 projects using

4 cartridges.  I used

Christmas Solutions, Simply Charmed,

Gypsy Wanderings and Teddy Bears on Parade.

Here is my first project using

Simply Charmed and Gypsy Wanderings.

The striped frame was cut at 5.25" H from

Gypsy Wanderings.  The candy was cut at 3"

from Simply Charmed.

I used Coordinations Cardstock and

the striped paper is DCWV.

I embossed the white cardstock

with a folder called

Peppermint Twists from Sizzix.

I also spritzed it with some glimmer mist.

This cute little tag is from My Craft Spot's

"Tiny Tags" dies and the sentiment

is from her "Mistletoe" stamp set.

I stamped it with Versamark and

embossed with Zing Embossing Powder.

 I am entering this card in the following challenges:

 Little Scrap Pieces

DL ART

My Craft Spot

This next card was made using Teddy Bears on Parade.

My inspiration for this card was

from a card that GiGi

from The Cricut Bug

made for the November Release

for My Craft Spot.

All paper was from the Echo Park

Very Merry Christmas Pack.

Teddy and all his layers were cut at 4"

I stamped his face with

Peachy Keens "Wide Eyed and Bushy Tailed"

stamp set.  I added some white with my gelly roll pen

and added some glossy accents.

The label he is mounted on was

cut from Gypsy Wanderings at 4.75"

He is also mounted on an Action Wobble!!

I stamped his face with

Peachy Keens "Wide Eyed and Bushy Tailed"

stamp set.  I added some white with my gelly roll pen

and added some glossy accents.

I added a cute little pom pom made from twine

to the top of his hat.
I am entering this card
in the following challenges:
 FCCB

Made Especially for You
Go Fish
Paper Playtime

My last project is a tag I made

using Christmas Solutions.

I had just won this great stamp

set "mistletoe" from My Craft Spot

November Release and knew I

wanted to make a tag with some Mistletoe!!

I cut the tag from kraft cardstock using

My Creative Time's Tag Dies.

I embossed the tag using a Mistletoe

Cuttlebug folder.  I then added

some pattern paper and decorative

trim from Webster's Pages.

The Mistletoe was cut from

Christmas Solutions at 2.07" H.

I added some pearls as the berries.

I hand cut the tag with the

sentiment on it and

added some crinkle ribbon and lace.

I am entering this project

in the "To Die For"

challenge over at CardzTV
