Theme Day Thursday - 3D Purses

 

Hello my crafty friends!!

Today is Theme Day Thursday over at

My Cricut Craft Room

and this weeks theme is

3D Purses!!

 

I used Forever Young and Art Philosophy

for my purse.

 

Since I have been making nothing but

Christmas projects lately,

I decided to make this purse

Christmas themed too.

I can use it to give a gift card.

 

The purse was cut at 4.5" from

Forever Young.  I hid the word

that is part of this cut using my gypsy.

 



 



 

 

I cut the flowers from

Flower Shoppe at 3.5" & 4.5".

I sprayed everything with some

Dazzling Diamond Glimmer Mist

and the added gold stickles

to my flowers.

 

I used My Craft Spot's Tiny Doilies Die

for the piece that I stamped the sentiment onto.

The sentiment is from Jaded Blossoms

Christmas Wishes Stamp Set.

I stamped it with Versamark

and then heat embossed using

Zing Embossing Powder in Rouge.

 

Thanks for visiting, I hope you

enjoyed my project today.

If you follow my blog or MCCR,
you know that we are supproting
Breast Cancer Awareness month.
We are using PINK in all of our projects.

I hid the undies as I only wanted the bra!!

The lacy doily is from Martha Stewart.

I added some gem swirls from Recollections

and lace along the edge.

The sentiments are from K Andrews

Fashionable Freinds stamp set.

I stamped it and then embossed

using Zing Embossing Powder.

Card Creating Tuesday - Sketch

Hello all my crafty friends!!

Today is the last week of June, and my

final sketch.  Let me tell, you this one had

to be the hardest!!  When I saw this sketch, I thought

OMG, I have to make a waterfall card!!

Well I have never made a waterfall or for that fact

any other special type of card. (easel, gate fold, etc.)

So what was I gonna do???  Well to the web of course!!

My first and only stop was Splitcoast Stampers.

If you have never been to this site, you need to check

it out!!  There are all kinds of tutorials.

Here is the one that I used:

http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/waterfall_card

At first it looked intimidating, but it ended up being pretty easy

and I am thrilled with the results!!

Here is the sketch:

And here is a sneak peek of my card!!

These sunglasses were cut at .70" from Forever Young.

I added some gems in the corner and

glossy accents to the lenses.

Next, the bathing suit was cut

from Nifty Fifties at 3.40"

I placed each piece on a seperate panel.

Lastly the flip flops are from

Life is a Beach cut at 2".

All the paper except the card base is from

my scrap pile.  The adorable paper used on the

card base is Imaginisce Makin' Waves.

This paper is so cute, and I was lucky enough to

recieve a few sheets, in a recent order from

Erica's Craft Room Store

The sentiment is from K Andrew's Splastastic Summer

I stamped it on to A Spellbinders Classic Large Square.

Here is a quick video showing the action!!

Boy is it hard to record with your phone and

pull the tab on a waterfall card...LOL!!

(man my hands look old...LOL)

I hope you enjoyed my card as

much as I enjoyed making it!!

Theme Day Thursday - BLING

Today is

over at My Cricut Craft Room, and today's theme is

  

As I was sitting in my craft room, trying to

think of an idea, I saw this

I bought this cute shoe plaque to hang in my craft room as it is the same colors as my room. 

 I used this shoe as my inspiration for my card today!! 

I knew I had the perfect paper to replicate this shoe!!

I usually make 5 x 7 cards, but I decided to make this card a standard A2 size. All the paper I used was from my scrap pile.  The background paper is Coordinations Whitewash cardstock in pink.  I embossed it using a Sizzix folder and then sanded it so the pink comes through. 

I also distressed the edges using my CTMH edge distresser. 

The shoe was cut from Forever Young. 

I used the pair of shoes from page 54, I just hid one of the shoes using my Gypsy. 

The shoe and all layers were cut at 4"

Here is a close up of the shoe.

What do you think, did I capture my inspiration??

For the label, I used Elegant Edges, the image was from page 67.  I manipulated it with my Gypsy to cut at 1.56" w x 3.3" h, and turned it on it's side.

The sentiment is from My Creative Times

"Classy & Fabulous" stamp set.

I added a little twine, some ribbon, and lots of bling!!

I sure hope you enjoyed my card today, and please make sure you step on over to My Cricut Craft Room to see what the rest of the wonderful design team has created today!!

Blue and White Dress Card

So here is my 2nd card for a challenge this week.  I made the card for the Celebrate The Occasion  # 23, Blue and White, and the Birthday Sundaes Challenge #19.

I love the way this card turned out.  The dress is from Forever Young.  The frame is from Elegant Edges and the little label is from Lacey Labels.  The printed paper is from DCWV 'Green Tea" stack.  I found this and a few other stacks for $5.99 at Marshall's!!  What a steal, I think I picked up a total of 6 different stacks.
The shimmer cardstock is Coordinations.  I used some Waterfall Stickles and a few Recollections gems.

Here is a close up of the dress and a side view to show the dimension.  I used lots of foam tape!!
