If you hopped over from Tess then you came from the right place, if you just happened upon this hop then please head over to My Cricut Craft Room so that you get to see all the wonderful projects and a chance at the blog candy.
  

I will have the line up at the bottom in case you get lost along the way. 


Can you believe that it is September already? WOW!!! This year is flying by. 
I have a few projects for you this month. I am just gonna jump right in and get to the pics and what I did. 


Project 1: Create a Critter.

I used the image from button 9(sorry don’t know page # my sis is borrowing the cart and I used my Gypsy)
On my Gypsy I used the accessory function key and button 9 to weld together 2 of the shapes to create a card base. The size is 4.30 by 13.77

welded base

 Then I cut the same image including the topper for the acorn at 4.30 by 7.45 

The topper of the acorn I embossed with Swiss dots and the acorn with d’vine swirls cuddle bug folders.

The critter is from the same button. He is cut at 2.92”.

I used Tim Holtz distress inks in vintage photo and antique linen to give the cuts some shading. 


After inking, I assembled all the parts.  In addition, I used a sukra white gel pen for the highlight in the eyes and white dash lines around the card.

Project 2: Sponge Bob Cartridge

I have a hard time making manly cards and when I chose to use the SpongeBob cart this month I had no idea what I was going to do with it. 

Then on PG 58, I saw the boat that SpongeBob drives. It hit me. I could cut off the wheels on the bottom and it would make the perfect boat.

I cut the image and icon layer @ 2 ¼
For the boat I, used colorbok textured white paper.
For the seats and accents, I use a pearly blue from recollections.


I found the waves on pg 47. I used different colors of blue paper and cut the waves at 2 ¼, 2 and 1 1/2 “
After assembling the boat I used paper from my mind’s eye away we go 6 X 6 pad for the background papers. I cut them so that when taped together they measured 4 by 5 ¼.
I then added some of the waves varying the colors and then then added the boat and popped more waves up on top so that it looks like the boat is racing through the water.
I added some glossy accents to the “windshield” part and used a white gel pen to add dash lines to the outer card base. 



Project 3: Kate’s ABC’s
For this project I used the cuts found on page 47 cut @3 ½

I assembled the cut and then I added stickles in hot pink and icicle to the butterflies and black puff type paint for the little bodies.
The base of my card is Kraft card stock cut @ 7 by 6 ½ and scored and folded in half.

The Yellow layer is 6 ¼ by 3 ¼
The flower paper (MME) is cut @ 6x3
I tied a pink ribbon and cut a flag shape by hand out of the yellow paper. The sentiment is from Studio G and stamped with memento cocoa brown ink.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my projects. I hope that you have enjoyed yourself and have found some inspiration. Please hop on over to           .   I know that my design team sisters have some great projects for you to see.

Theme day Thursday, A Child's Year, with My Cricut Craftroom

 Hi Crafters! 

Today over at My Cricut Craftroom the design team is using A Child’s Year to create our projects. 

I decided to make an easel card for my project today.

Here is a peek at my project and then I will tell you what all I did.

What you need

·       Card stock cut @ 8 ½ by 4 ¼    score @ 4 ½ and 6 3/8

·       Card stock cut at 4 ¼ square  for the front of card

·       Blue dot paper cut at 4” square.

·       Yellow dot cut at 4 by 1 ½

·       Wrap yellow dot paper with blue twine and tie bow.

·       Cut the Fairy from pg 77 @ 3 ¾” and also cut the shadow

I assembled my easel card by folding the score lines in opposite directions, then I attached the 4 ¼ square to the flap on the base of the card.

I then used the blue and yellow papers to create the layers and wrapped them with blue twine and tied a bow.

I adhered them to the “flap” of the card.

After cutting my Fairy I assembled her and popped her up on foam tape and added her to the front of the card.

For the inside to keep the easel standing I cut a piece of yellow paper @ 4 by 1 ¼

And layered on a white cs cut @ 3 ¾ by 1

I stamped happy birthday from a stamp from TPC Studios card creating birthday. Using Memento rich cocoa ink.

I also popped that up on foam tape

I then added 3 gray rhinestones to it.

Here is a look at my completed card.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope that you will head over to My Cricut Craftroom to see what my other design team sisters have made today.

My Imagination Monday with My Cricut Craftroom

 Hi Crafters! It’s time for another My Imagineation Monday. 

I love using my Imagine and I wanted to create something new and exciting for you today.

I used My Imagine and the Ancestry cartridge along with printable vinyl to cover my laptop. 

1^st I used the print feature on the imagine to print 2 12x12 pieces of the printable vinyl. 

I used the pattern on page 4 of the hand book.

My laptop measures 14 ½ x 9 ½

here is the printed vinyl

2^nd I cut the 1^st piece of vinyl down to 12x 9 ½

And applied it to my laptop.

*make sure to clean your laptop with a good cleaner. I used electronic wipes*

Now since my laptop was larger than my vinyl I had to “butt up” the 2 pieces of vinyl and I ended up having to overlap them by about 1” (see pix)

I love the way that it turned out, I have been wanting to personalize my computer for sometime and the other day while looking through my vinyl box I saw the printable sheets and decided to give it a try, I am so happy with the results and I didn’t have to pay $20 or more for a laptop skin.

Here is another look at before and after

Thanks for stopping by my blog today. I hope that you enjoyed my project.

Please be a dear and head over to My Cricut Craftroom and see what my fellow design team members have made.

This month I chose to use Paisley, car decals and cricut birthday cakes cartridge.

1^st up Paisley

I found these cute note cards at the goodwill and I thought for 50cent I could redo them and make them into my own creation.  Here is the pic and then I will tell you what I did.

The note cards measure 6 by 3 ¾  

Paisley cartridge pg 36 cut at 2.3 on my Imagine and filled with colors and patterns from the elise cartridge.

The top note shape is from the stock imagine images cut@ 2.7 and the pattern is also from Elise.

The striped paper is from enjoy the season cartridge. 

I used foam tape to give some dimension. 

The stamp is from pink by design and the ribbon is from American crafts.

2^nd  Car decals

I used the car decals to cut a 4x4 vinyl for my suv.

 I used the lime green and pink( my favs) to layer it up. I cut it at 2 “ 

I used the “kiss” cut method. I set my pressure @ 2 blade @ 6 and speed @ 3 and it works out great. 

3^rd Birthday cakes

Pg 64 cut @ 2” 

Papers are from my mind’s eye fine and dandy girls and lost and found market street 6X6 pads.

I stamped it with a ditto stamp all over the background and embossed with clear embossing powder.

The white strip is cut at 5 ½ X2 and embossed it with the swiss dots cuttle bug folder.

The Stamp is studio g with memento ink.

I added crystal stickles to add to the tops of Cupcakes.
