Time for Weddings and Showers!

I recently made this card for a Wedding Shower I attended. I saw a similar one on Pinterest and thought it was so so pretty. I didn't have the dies to make the dress form so I searched for a photo online, imported it into Design Space and cut it with my Cricut Explore! I LOVE THAT MACHINE! The gift was from BED BATH BEYOND... so obviously I chose "BBB purple" for my color! The skirt is a folded paper doily and I rolled ribbon to make a very TINY rose.  I embossed the white base with a beautiful CTMH embossing folder - their's are gorgeous with VERY DEEP embossing - and wal-ah!  I love how it turned out! The Card measures 5" x 7"

Featured CTMH Paper Pack and all that goes with it! BEAUTIFUL!

I LOVE these ACCESSORIES - and I think you will too!!!

Ice Cream Dreams - June Stamp of the Month

Yummy, Ice Cream!

 Here is a quick card I made Tonight with the Close to My Heart June Stamp of the Month "Ice Cream Dream" and the Seaside Paper Pack. It's a really cute summer stamp and you can get one for just $5.00 when you place a qualifying order of $50.00 or more at CTMH.  Just hover over the item name and you can go check them out! I used the ShinHan Markers to add a little color to the Sentiments and the Ice Cream Sundae.  Other items used were the Glacier Extra Thick Twine and the Boardwalk Washi Tap - both found in the Season Expressions that is active until August.  My Card was cut at 6 1/2 " x 9".  I think you'll find this to be a really cute stamp set!

Great Card for the Guy in your life!This Card is great for Father's Day coming up June 21st.  I used white card stock that measure 12" x 7" and scored it at 5" and again at 10" - this gave me a 5X7 Card with a 2" Bookmark attached.  The papers I used are from CTMH "Heart Strings" from the 1st suppliment catalog (no longer available - but any masculine paper could easily be substituted!  I just had some scraps leftover, as I'm sure many of you do as well!  Punch a whole in the Book Mark and tie on some Bakers Twine of your choice.   Hope you all have a great start to your summer!  PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT if you like this card!   I LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU!!!

Here are a couple of cards I made using the TASTE OF SUMMER Paper Pack & the coordinating Stamp Set.  This is a Special Paper Pack you can only purchase during the Month of MAY - at the special price of just $8.95. The Card on the Left has Directions below.  The Card on the right is cut using the CTMH Artfully Sent Cartridge.  These Cards are GREAT because you can cut them ANY SIZE.  This one is cut to fit in an A2 Envelope.

This is the Cutting Guide

This is the Scoring Guide

Step 1.  
Score the Honey Card Stock across the long side.  Starting from the Left - Score @ 1/2",  2",  4",  5 1/2" Fold on Scorelines.

Step 1b. 

Adhere 1 Purple 4" x 5 1/4" to (un-scored side) of Honey.  Then attach Green Lemon Paper on top of that.  The other Purple and the 3 3/4" x 5" White piece will go on the back of the card.

Step 3.  

Put adhesive on the small tab and lay the card flat as shown to attach it in the correct spot of the Green lemon piece.

Step 4.  

Adhere Yellow striped 1 3/4" x 4" piece to the card as shown and put adhesive on just the LEFT side (3" part) of the purple.  Attach it on top of Yellow Striped lining up the bottom of the card and centering it.  Put adhesive on the small tab.

Step 5.  

Lay the Card flat as shown to attach it in the correct spot.

Step 6.  

The card is ready to decorate.

I used the Cricut to cut out the Words on the front of the card and used the coordinating Stamp set to Stamp the Lemons.  Then I used Clear Embossing Powder over the top, cut them out and used Pop Dots to attach.

The Back of the Card is decorated using B1452 Funky Blossoms and Inks Honey, Gypsy, and Juniper.

Wedding Shower Card

A FREE Cricut Design Space File - Wedding Shower Card

I saw this Card on Pinterest and wanted to make a Design Space File for it.  All of the cuts are FREE Images.  I embossed the back White Layer with the CTMH Heart Embossing Folder Z3018 and the Towels with a Stampin Up Embossing Folder (email me for more details).  I used a green Pilot Precise V5 Pen for the lettering, although the font is a little different on the "Mr. & Mrs." in this file, so it could be shared. Please let me know if you encounter any cutting problems in Design Space with the file.  Note:  Be sure to watch when to insert the Score Tool and the Pen.  They tend to sneak up on you!

My First Card using my iPad! YIPPEE! LOVE IT!

I am going to LOVE this whole iPad creating!!! Oh Yeah!!!!

Can I just say I'm going to LOVE using my iPad Air with my Cricut Explore!  This is one of the first cards I made from the Make It Now collection in Cricut Design Space.  It turned out sooo pretty...and they go OH SO FAST!  I've already made 6 of them.  I realized that this card is actually a combination of two different cards and there is a fee. 
Sorry about that!

This one I made a little larger by selecting the entire file (Select ALL) and dragging it to the size I wanted, then cut it with this awesome shimmer paper I found at Michaels.  I added some extra greenery - but really about anything you do to this card will be beautiful!  You do NOT need an iPad to make this project.  Just look for it in the Make It Now Projects!

Better late than never!

...and then there was Valentines Day!!!! 

These pictures are horribly late - but none-the-less - here are a couple of things I made for Valentines day.

 


The Gift Bags were from Wal-Mart and I simply made the Tags using the Cricut to match the Bags.  I thought they added a nice personalized touch. If you need more info on the cuts, just send me a quick email and I'll try to figure out which ones I used! :-)

The Favors were for my Granddaughter to take to Preschool.  I thought about cutting the Mason Jars w/ the Cricut Explore Print then Cut, but really it worked best to just print them on white card stock and cut a hole in the center.  I did back of the "jar" with a piece of acetate so the candy oils wouldn't leak through.  The jars fit nicely into those plastic jewelry bags you can pick up about anywhere. Tuck in a few Gummy Worms and Wallah! I put a piece of double sided tape at the top back of the bag so the worms wouldn't escape. I will include the jpeg if anyone wants to try these.  They are super easy and go together really quickly.  I think I used the little 3" x 4" bags.
