Happy Birthday Sis

Hello and Happpy Wednesday!!

Today I have a card to share

that I made for the

Peachy Keen - Just Cards Siblings Challenge

I made this card for my sister's birthday in June.
This card makes me laugh, when I was litlle,
I was afraid of everything.  My sister and brother
used to get caterpillars on the end of a stick
and chase me around the yard.  I used
to run around crying and screaming!!!
So you can guess that the flower that
is screaming that the bee is going to get
her is me and my sister is acting all innocent...LOL!!!

I just love how this turned out!!

I used the adorable Cottage Cutz Funny Flowers

Die and stamp set from Peachy Keeen.

I am getting addicted to these cute little dies!!

The face stamps are included with the dies!!

I got this cute little bee stamp as a freebie with my

order.  I added a little yellow stickles to him.

Both flowers are on Action Wobbles.



The sentiment stamps are from My Creative Time's

Anyday Bingo and Crossword Stamp Set and

Many Greetings Stamp Set.

I have inked everything up using

Tim Holtz Distress in in Shaded Lilac,

Mowed Lawn, Squeezed Lemonade

and Scattered Straw.  I have also

added some accents with my

Glitter Gel Pen!!

I will also be entering this in the following challenges

Baby Carriage Gift Bag

Hello all My Crafty Friends!!

I have a cute little baby

gift bag to share with you today.

 I started with a kraft gift bag.

The next layer is a piece of ivory cardstock

that I inked with TH Distress Ink

in Fired Brick and Scattered Straw.

The next layer is a piece of 6x6 paper

from My Mind's Eye "Playdate" stack.

Not sure what pack the red paper is from,

but I cut this doily using my new

We R Memory Keepers

Lucky 8 Punch.

The top layer is my adorable baby in the buggy cute

from Simply Charmed.  I have embossed it, and

added a cute little Peachy Keen Face, I believe

it is from Wide Eyed Kids.

I cut these last year for a swap, and have never

used it.  I have about 8 of them so you may

see this image again!!

I mounted the baby buggy on an action wobble.

I added some buttons from October Afternoon

accented with Twine.  I also added some pearl flourishes

from Want 2 Scrap.  The ribbon at the top is

from 3 Girl Jam and the trim at the bottom is

from Webster's Pages.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

Got Eggs??

Hello and Happy Saturday!!

I have a funny little card to share with you today.

 

The scalloped card base was in my extra cuts

drawer, so sorry not sure what cart that is from!!

I cut the cute little bunny at 3" from

 Birthday Bash. His little face if from the

Peachy Keen Wide Eyed and Bushy Tailed.

He is getting ready to take a bite

out of the blue egg!!

He is on an Action Wobble.

 The eggs were cut from a new Hero Arts

Stamp and Cut set I order from Archiver's.

All the egg faces were stamped from

the Peachy Keen Piles of Smiles Stamp Set.

 I cut the banner from My Creative Time

Just Simply Stamp & Die St

The sentiment is from the

To My Best Peep Stamp Set 

I added some stiching to all

the die cuts with a

white gelly roll pen.

All the paper was from my scrap box.

I added a little ribbon, some twine

and a homemade stick pin.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Pot of Gold

Hello and Happy Monday!!

How are all my crafty friends today?
I am doing good, unfortunately I had to go
back to work today after being off for a month
with my foot surgery.  Everything went great, so I
had no more excuses for not going back to work...LOL

I have a fun project to share with you today
that I made to enter in a few challenges.

I made this little treat box with the

pillow box from Art Philosophy cut at 6".

The foil paper is DCWV "Green Tea" Stack.

I added a double belly band around the box.

I used a Martha Stewart Border Punch

on the first layer, and then embossed the

second layer with a Shamrock Folder from

the Cuttlebug Companion Folder

from Simply Charmed.  For this layer,

I used Tim Holtz Kraft-Core

cardstock from Coordinations.

I then sanded it.

Next I cut this cute little Pot of Gold from

Simply Charmed at 2"

 I added his cute little face
from Peachy Keen's "Piles of Smiles"
stamp set.  The gold coins were cut
from some gold foil paper.

I used my stylus to emboss some lines

on the coins to define them better.

I attached the pot of gold to the box

with an Action Wobble.

I also cut some Shamrocks from foil paper

using the My Creative Time

"You're My Pot of Gold"

stamp and die set.

The sentiment below is from the same set.

The sentiment was stamped onto
a Ticket cut from the
My Creative Time
"Stiched Fun Ticket Dies"
I added some Tim Holtz
Distress Ink in Peeled Paint.

I added some gold twine to finish it off!!

I got my inspiration for this project from
page 23 of the March Issue of the Cricut Magazine.
Gwen Lords made this adorable box.

I will be entering this into the following challenges:
FCCB - Fun with Puns
Little Scrap Pieces - Emboss It

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.

This month I made 4 different projects using 4 different cartridges.

So just a heads up, this is a long post with lots of pictures!!!

This first card was made with the Cotton Candy cut

from the County Fair cartridge.

This cartridge has some really fun

Fair related cuts on it!!

The cotton candy and all the layers were cut at 4".

It is mounted on an action wobble.
I used glitter paper for the top layer
of the cotton candy and then
embossed it using the Divine Swirls folder.

This cute sentiment is from My Pink Stamper's "Sweetest Cupcakes" stamp set.

This next card is from the adorable Ole' Cartridge.

Being hispanic, this was a must have

cartridge for me!!  I made

this adorable birthday

card for my mom.

Her birthday was this past week

She is mounted on an action wobble

so she can dance the night away!!
She was cut at 4.5".
The border frame
was cut at 5".

The lovely senorita has a mole on her

cheek just like my mom!!

I used Peachy Keens Laughy Taffy stamp set.

I used the Divine Swirls Cuttlebug folder on her hair.

For those of you that do not speak spanish

(ha, I don't either...LOL)

This says Feliz Cumpleanos, which

means Happy Birthday!!
This was cut at 2".

This next card was made using the

Nifty Fifties cartridge.

I just love this poodle cut!!

I think it is my favorite of all the poodle cuts.

My spoiled dog #2 Jasmine is

a minature poodle.

I used my gypsy to weld the

base image together to

make a shaped card.
the base was cut at 5.5"

The poodle was cut at 5.5".

I used the swiss dots Cuttlebug embossing folder

on the body and the divine swirls

on the fur.  I also added some Diamond

Stickles to the swirls.  I gave her

a diamond collar and toenails!!

The sentiment is from the K Andrews

"All About Animals" stamp set.
I am entering this card in the Simply Sunday
Challenge over at Getting Cricky and
Celebrate the Occasion

This last project is my overall favorite!!

I made this beautiful box from

Tags, Bags, Boxes and More 2.

It is the Bride Box cut at fit to page,

which cut at 8.75".  I also used

the scoring blade to score the lines.

I added crystal accents to the bodice.

some black ribbon and a white paper rose

I had in my stash.  I inked the edges of

the rose with black ink and dipped it in glitter.

 On the bottom of the dress I used a crystal border

and this beautiful flower ribbon.
