MFT Stamps Camp Create - Remarkable Resist & Single Layer Savvy

 Hello, and Happy Tuesday!!

I am a little late to the party, but I wanted to try

to attend and participate in the final

week of MFT Stamps Camp Create.

Today I will be sharing projects

another two projects.

Day 3 of Camp Create was  Remarkable Resist.

This card didn't turn out as well as

I had hoped , but oh well :)

I used the LJD Terrific Ties Stamp Set

Distress Ink, and Distress Spray

 
I earn the following badge for this project

For my 2nd project today, I made a project

for the Camp Create Farewell Bonfire - Single Layer Savvy

For this project I used Soak up the Fun Stamps and Die-namics.

I also used the Whimsical Waves Die-namics as a mask

at the top of my little ocean scene,  I added a little

stickles hear and there too.

Here is the badge I earned for completing this project

I am not sure I am going to have the time

to create a project for the final 2 days of Camp Create.

I had lots of fun going to camp this summer

and learning new techniques that I hope

to incorporate on future projects!

Thanks for stopping by!

There is Sunshine

Hello and Happy Friday!!

I wanted to make a card for a friend

that recently lost her sister to suicide.

I did not want it to be a sympathy card, I just wanted

to cheer her up and let her know I am thinking

and praying for her and her family.

I used lots of My Favorite Things products on this card!!

I embossed the tag using a Darice Cloud folder and

then I went over the clouds with the 

brand new Tim Holtz Distress Crayons!

I used Picket Fence on the clouds and Vintage Photo 

on the edges.  The tag, base and sentiment piece are 

all from MFT Blueprints 13 

and the plaid paper is from the County Fair pack.

 The sentiment is from Cheerful Blessings

This sun is the Sunny Skies Die-namics

I inked it with Tim Holtz Distress markers

and then covered it with Wink of Stella. 

For the inside I used a scripture stamp

from Stampendous called Hope Verses.

It has been a long time since I have

entered any challenges!!

I am entering this in the MFT Sketch Challenge

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend :)

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

don't forget to get your mammogram!!!

The Letter of the Day is D

Today is letter D so the Team over at My Cricut Craft Room can use ANY cartridge that begins with the letter D , or any image that begins with D.  For my card today, I chose to use Damask Decor.  This cartridge has so many elegant images and cards that you can make.

For my card today, I chose the image on page 67.  I first cut the card feature at 5" and the the layer was cut at the same 5".  I used DCWV Street Lace paper pack.  I embossed the card layer with a Cuttlebug folder before adhering the heart layer.  I sanded the embossing just a touch and then went over the whole card layer with some Distress Ink in Black Soot.  I added the heart layer and tied some ribbon and glitter tulle to the top of the card.  The sentiments are from My Creative Time "100% Sweetness" stamp set, which I stamped with black ink and then added emobssing powder.  I added a few pink gems to add some bling.

Thanks for stopping by today and please make sure you stop by My Cricut Craft Room 

to see the rest of the design teams projects!!

Would You Ever Guess Wednesday

Welcome back for another

 My Cricut Craft Room



On WYEGW, we can use anything on the cricut cartridge EXCEPT the main image.  For my project today, I chose the A Child's Year Cartridge.  For the longest time I hesitated on buying this cartridge, since my kids all all grown up and I thought I had no need for this cart.  I kept see projects made on other blogs and the Cricut Messageboards using this cartridge.  So I finally decided to buy it!!

I picked the image on page 39, it is using the ICON feature using the shift key.  Here is the sneak peak!!

I cut the image at 3.5" in cream color cardstock.  I knew I wanted to cover it with stickles.  When I first tried painting on the stickles, I was not getting full coverage.  You could see alot of the cream color, so I decided to wipe off the stickles and add some color with chalk. 

Here is what the image looked like with just the chalk.

Pretty good, but I needed to add the sparkle, so I added Candy Cane and Green Stickles.  All the paper is from Close to My Heart "Elegant Bouquet" paper pack.  I have alot of the older CTMH paper packs, so now I am trying to use them.  I have so much paper, I kind of vowed not to buy anymore until I used up at least some of what I have.  We will see how long that will last...LOL!! 

Here is a picture of the finished card.

I inked the edges of all the paper with Distress Ink in Tea Dye.  I used the Swiss Dots and Divine Swirls Cuttlebug folders for the two mats.  I added some My Craft Spot Crinkle Ribbon in Scarlett Red.  I finished the card off with a tag from the coordiating sticker stack from CTMH and the sentiment is from Paper Trey Inks "Birthday Basics" Set.

100 Cartridge Blog Hop

Welcome to the 100 Cartridge Blog Hop.

If you are joining me from Laurie's Blog, then you are in the right place.  If you just happened to visit my blog today, then please make sure you check out Erica's blog at

My Cricut Craft Room to start at the beginning.

There are so many talented ladies in today's hop.  This is day two of the hop, so be sure to check Erica's Blog for yesterday's hop list.

So, I was a little over ambitious and signed up for 5 cartridges!!  I signed up for Art Philosophy (my favorite cart), Elegant Edges, Sweet Treats, Sweethearts and Ultimate Creative Cartridge Sampler

I made 3 cards, one using Sweet Treats, one using Sweethearts, and then the last card I used, Art Philosopy, Elegant Edges and Ultimate Creative Sampler.

Now, on to my projects!!

For this card, I used Sweet Treats.

I cut this super cute card using the card feature.   I cut the card and all the layers at 5.5"

The PP is Imanginise Sweet Cheri line.  I cut the tag using a Stampin Up punch and the sentiment is from My Pink Stamper "Sweetest Cupcakes" set.

For this next card I used the card feature on the Sweethearts cart.

It was super quick and easy to make!!

This card was so hard to photograph, because of the glitter paper.

This card was one simple cut, I cut it at 5.13" H.  I saved the cut out piece of cupid to use on another project.  I used kraft cardstock, and then a piece of red glitter cardstock was glued to the back.  I embossed it using the Divine Swirls Cuttlebug folder.  I used distress ink to the card base.  The sentiment is from My Creative Times "100% Sweetness" set.  I finished it off with some crinkle ribbon from My Craft Spot and a rhinestone corner.

For my last card, I actually used 5 different cartridges!!

This is a Valentine's card, but I decided to use non-traditional colors.  The paper is from DCWV Lemon Flower Stack.  I love this stack.  Actually I could even use this as an anniversary card, since my anniversary is Feb. 6th!!  The card base was cut from Art Philosophy at 7" H.  The pretty heart border was cut from Elegant Edges at 7"w x 1" h.  The heart was cut from the Ultimate Creative Sampler at 4.7" h.  The arrow came from Gypsy Wanderings and the sentiment came from Wild Card.  I finished it off with some rhinestone swirls and crinkle ribbon from My Craft Spot and some distress ink.

I hope you have enjoyed my projects, your next stop is: Kym

Give Thanks

I have been a busy little crafter today.  I am on vacation this week so I got to spend a few hours in my craft room while my hubby worked on some electrical stuff around the house.  So, I have 3 cards to post tonight.

This first card is a Thanksgiving card, I made to enter in this weeks challenge over at Cricut 360.  The theme this week for Challenge # 12 is Native American Inspiration.  I found this great cut of feathers on the Thanksgiving Seasonal cartridge.  The card base and frame are from the Art Philosopy cartridge.  All the paper is from the DCWV Harvest Stack.  I used the branches cuttelbug folder on the leaves.  I hand cut the tag and the sentiment is from BugBytes "All Year Round " set.  I used some Wild Honey Distress ink and glimmer mist on the tag.  I used two different crinkle ribbon, the orange one is Marmalade from My Craft Spot and the turquosie one is from Praire Bird Boutique.
