I Love You

Hello, today I have a super simple card to share with you

using the I Love You Card file from Too Cute By Jessica

 

This card was so fast and easy to cut and put together!!

I used Coordinations Cardstock and

Doodlebug's new Lovebugs collection.

I added an extra heart in the middle

so that I could have somewhere to

stamp my adorable sentiment

from Craftin Desert Divas Simply Said Stamp Set.

I heat embossed it with Zing Embossing Powder

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Happy Birthday

Hello and Happy Tuesday!

Today is my day to post over at
Craftin Desert Divas.
I am sharing a another card I made using one of my favorite
stamp sets from the May Release.  I used "Happy Celebrations" 

I love all the different sentiments on this set. 

Here is my project:

My son asked me for a quick birthday card

at the last minute and this is what I came up with!

The cut is from the Silhouette Store Design ID #51731,

I thought it would be perfect wiht the quote.

His friend is an Oscar Wilde fan and he wanted me to incorporate

this quote.  I used my Silhouette Sketch Pens to write it out.

Of course I knew "Happy Celebrations"  would have
the perfect sentiment!!
The paper is from Doodlebug
and I also used a Spellbinders Curved Rectangles Die.

Thanks for stopping by!!
 

 

SPLASH!!

Hello and Happy Saturday!!

Today I am sharing a card I made

for my youngest granddaughter's birthday.

Yesterday, my granddaughter Bella

turned 4.  They had her party at a

local waterpark called SPLASH!!

I made this card for Bella!!

I used the sketch for this week's

Peachy Keen Challenge 13-27

Here is my card.

All images were cut with my Silhouette Cameo.

The base of the card was cut using one of

the background shapes from

Miss Kate's Cuttables

I used Coordinations papers.

I embossed using the Cuttlebug

Swiss Dots folder.

I cut another shape out of the

beige paper and tore it to make the sand.

I embossed the sand the with the Sizzix

Swirly Vine Embossing Folder.  I added some

Distress Stickles in Frayed Burlap

and some Stardust Stickles too.

My cute little girl was a file from 

SVG Cutting Files  called

Fun In the Sun

I did not cut the sunglasses so

the I could add a cute Peachy face!!

This one is from Wide Eyed Kids.

I embossed her hair using

 Cuttlebug Divine Swirls Folder.

I cut the words SPLASH with my Cameo.

Sorry I can't remember the font I used!!

I added Stardust Stickles and

and some Bling from Recollections.

I tied it all off with a some

glitter tulle.

I have also entered this card in the

SVG Cutting Files "Heat Wave" Challenge

DL Art - July Linky Party

Sunday Funday Linky Party

Here is a picture of my sweet Bella

enjoying her day at SPLASH!!

My Creative Times Tag Die.

Echo Parks Vintage Christmas Pad.

I cut the snowflake at 3" from glitter paper.

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.

It is from My Creative Time's

"Warm Holiday Fun" stamp set.

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

The sentiment was pieced together

from K Andrew's Owly Hoo Sentiments.

This is the first time I have used this cartridge

and I just love the way this little

Abby Kadabby came out!!

She is cut out from page 43 at 4".

I was a little scared when I saw all

the little pieces, but she was worth it!!

and add some glitter tulle at the top.

Would You Ever Guess Wednesday - Sew Stamper

First of all I want to wish everyone a

very safe and happy 4th of July!! 

So for today's project at My Cricut Craft Room

I chose to use the technique, and this weeks

technique was to use the Sew Easy, Sew Stamper

or Sew Ribbon.  I chose the Sew Stamper.

I bought my Sew Stamper a few months ago and have never

used it, so I thought this was my opportunity!!

Here is a sneak peak

We went to a retirement party over the weekend,

for one of the guys at my husband's work.

 It was a western themed, party, so my hubby asked me to make a

western card. I chose this adorable cowboy from

3 Birds on Parade, cut at 4".

The Sew Stamper only comes with black ink.

Erica, taught us a great technique.

Once you stamp your project, pour

embossing powder over your stiches

and then heat set with a heat gun,

and voila, you have your stiches in any

color you want!

 

I used a really cool embossing enamel that I got

in a recent order from Erica's Craft Room Store.

It is copper embossing enamel from

Stampendous.  It has different colors in it.

Very cool!!

The "Wanted" paper is from the

Cowboy Up paper stack from Best Creations.

I thought it was perfect!!

I cut it down to fit the card, and inked

the edges with Tea Dye Distress Ink.

I added some eyelets in the corners and some twine.

Anyway, as you can see, I used

the Sew Stamper to stamp the stiches

around the base of the card.

My lines are a little crooked, but

I will practice using my Sew Stamper

because I really like the way it came out.

Thanks for stopping by today,

and please check out My Cricut Craft Room

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

Card Creating Tuesday - Sketch

Hello, my crafty friends!!

This month I decided to challenge myself!!

I get in a rut and seem to use the same

design for my cards.  So this month

I decided to sign up for the

sketch challenge each week!!

This first sketch was really a challenge!!

After seeing this sketch, the first thing I thought of was

bubbles.  But then, I was looking through the stuff I

recently got from out wonderful leader Erica,

and I came across these stickers, there are only a few left!!:

Once I saw these stickers,

I knew exactly what I wanted to do.

Here is a sneak peak:

 

For today's card, I used the following cartridges:

Card Base - Elegant Edges

Banner - CCR Party Picks & Pennants

Donuts - Love You a Latte

Slumber Party

Sweet Shop

Most of the paper is Coordinations

The background paper is Best Creations

I also used stickles for the sprinkles!!

For the donut in the right bottom corner, I wanted

it to look like a sugar donut.  So I ran it through my

Xyron face down, and then covered it with

fine glitter.

 

Can you see where I used the stickers??

The sentiment is perfect, don't you think...LOL

It is from My Pink Stamper

"Sweetest Cupcakes" stamp set.

I stamped it then embossed it

using Pink Zing Glitter Embossing Powder.

 

I added some crinkle ribbon from

My Craft Spot in Pink Bubblegum. 

I also embossed with the

Cuttlebug Spots and Dots Folder.

I hope you like my card as much

as I liked making it.

(it would be better if I could eat the donuts...LOL)

Please be sure to check out what the

rest of the design team made today over at

My Cricut Craft Room

Christmas Countdown - 3D Object

Today is April 25th, and that means

Christmas Countdown

over at My Cricut Craft Room.

This month we were challenged

with making a 3D object.

I used Tags, Bags, Boxes and More 2 to

make 2 little treat boxes today.

Here is a sneak peek:

This first box was made with the

Cone Box on page 63.

This was cut at 9", I used the

scoring tool to score the lines

before cutting.

I used Coordinations Glittter cardstock.

This was a fairly easy project.

I think I got it done in about an hour.

I embossed the tree with the

Divine Swirls Cuttlebug folder.

I added different colored

gems for the decorations

on my Christmas Tree.

I added a topper made with ribbon.

The tag and sentiment

are from My Creative Time

Teeny Tag Greetings.

This box has a little loop at the top

so it would be great to fill with candy

an hang on your own tree!!

Although I am not happy with the way this

project came out, I am still

going to show it to you!!

This box was cut at 5.5" from page 47.

The paper is DCWV.

The phrase was cut at 1"

I could not get the extra snowflake piece

to line up properly!!

Anyway, thanks for stopping by today.
