Nativity



I am so sorry that this post is up super late!!

This should have been up on Monday.

The theme for today was Nativity.

I used A Quilted Christmas.

I decided to go really simple.

I used the card function.

The senitment is from My Craft Spot's

"Joy to the World" stamp set.

I stamped it onto a label cut out using a

Spellbinders die, and then embossed using

Zing Embossing Powder in gold.

I also added some gold tinsel string.

Thanks for visiting, and please stop by

My Cricut Craft Room to see more projects.

Hope all my friends had a wonderful Christmas!!

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

to see more Perky Penguins!!

Would You Every Guess Wednesday - Snowflakes

 

Hello all my crafty friends!!

Today is Would You Ever Guess Wednesday

at My Cricut Craft Room.

On Wednesdays, the Design Team

is challenged with using anything

but the main image on the page.

This week's theme is SNOWFLAKES!!

We were asked to use a snowflake from

any of the bonus features that

are available on many cartridges.

I used Art Philosophy.

 

I actually made two cards to share with you today.

 

 

This first card was made using the image

from the font layer from page 64!!

This layer was cut at 4.6"

The base is cut at 5" from the

card layer on page 23.

 

 

 

I added a glittered snowflake from my stash

and the sentiment is from the brand new

"Think Snow" stamp set from

My Craft Spot.

I added some pink glitter tulle
a homemade stick pin
and some gems.

 

This next card was made using the card and

decorative layer from page 27 of the handbook.

The card base was cut at 5"

and the decorative layer was cut at 4.75".

 

I kept this one simple, only

adding a few gems and somemore

tulle!!  I added a snowflake gem

which was clear, so I covered it

with glue and pink glitter!!

 

Please make sure to stop over at

My Cricut Craft Room

to see more snowflake projects.

 

I want to thank all

of my crafty friends for

visting and leaving me some

love on my blog!

I hope everyone has a blessed

and bountiful Thanksgiving!!

 



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.

Letter of the Day - Letter S

 

Today is Monday, and on Mondays

at My Cricut Craft Room

we do The Letter of the Day,

and today's letter is "S".

We can use a cartridge

that starts with the letter

or an image that starts with the letter.

 

I chose to use a "S"leigh, from

Paper Doll Dress Up.

 

 

You can find this particular

sleigh on page 74 of the handbook.

I cut it twice at 5" wide.

I cut it once in silver

and again in red.

 

I cut the rails off of the red layer.

I then embossed it using a Sizzix folder.

I spritzed it with some Diamond Glimmer Mist.

Then I glued it on top of the silver layer.

I added some Platinum Stickles.

The presents were cut with

my Creative Memories square punch.

 

All paper is DCWV.

Still not sure I really like this card,

I think I used too many patterns,

it looks a little too busy.

Oh well, someone on my christmas

card list will still be getting it...LOL.

 

Make sure you stop over at

My Cricut Craft Room

Nov. 100 Cartridge Blog Hop

 

Hello and Welcome to the November

100 Cartridge Blog Hop with

My Cricut Craft Room

Can you believe that it is already November!!

Christmas will be here before you know it.

Have you started on your Christmas cards yet??

 

This month all the DT projects will be

Winter/Holiday related to give

you some inspiration for your

holiday projects.

 

You should have started at

My Cricut Craft Room

 

This month I have used the following 4 cartridges.

Winter Woodland, Snow Friends, Jolly Holidays,

and Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake.

 

For my first project I used Winter Woodland

 

I made this card using the card feature

on page 39.  It was fast and simple.

The papers are DCWV and the sentiment

is from K Andrew's Winter Wishes.

I added some stickles to give it some sparkle!

 

My next project is a Christmas Tag

made using Jolly Holidays

and Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake.

 

 

The tag itself is a  the Tag die

from My Creative Time, which I hve embossed

and inked.  The Little Birdie is from

Jolly Holidays cut at 2".

The sentiment is from page 63

of Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake.

This cart has so many holiday related

images and sentiments!!

 

The papers are from Imaginisce.

 

My final project is a shaped card.

It is my favorite and was made

with Snow Friends.

 

I cut the cute little snowgirl at 5".

I welded 2 of the base layer using my gypsy

to form my shaped card.  I then cut a

third base layer to place on top.

I cut two of all the pieces

so that she would have a front

and a back.  The second set

of cuts I flipped using my gypsy

so they would line up properly.

Her face was stamped with

Peachy Keen's Princess Faces.

I think she is just too adorable!!

 

Here is a side view.

 

Thanks for visiting, and I hope

I have inspired you to

start your holiday projects!!

 

Next in the hop is my

sweet DT sister

Mary

Theme Day Thursday - use Paper Lace 1, 2 or Ornamental Iron 1, 2.

Hello , today is

over at My Cricut Craft Room.

Today we were asked to use with Paper Lace,

Paper Lace 2, Ornamental Iron, or Ornamental Iron 2.

I used Paper Lace 2 to

make another Christmas Card!!

When I was scrolling through the handbook

looking for an image to use, I thought the

image on page 33 looked like an ornament.

I cannot recall what size I cut these out at

but I stretched the image on the left side

to get an enlongated image.

I just love the colors I used for this card.

For years I used silver and blue for my

christmas tree, but last year

I bought all new ornaments in bright

colors.  Pink, Purple, Turquoise and Lime Green!!

That is what inspired me for this card.

I used some glitter paper for the top layer of the

ornament and hung them from tinsel string.

The sentiment is from My Creative Time's

Warm Holiday Fun Stamp Set.

I embossed with with Zing Embossing powder,

I also embossed the lavendar paper

and the bottom layer of the ornament

with a Cuttlebug folder, not sure of the name!!

Thanks for visiting, and please make

sure you stop by

My Cricut Craft Room

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.
