What a fun card to make! Thanks for the sketch Peachy Keen!

Have a great day. Thanks for stopping by!

Cricut Circle Blog Weekly Challenge #22

The challenge this week was to make a project with a fairytale figure. I made this card using the Imagine. It was nice to pick the colors for this princess using the RGB codes on the Imagine machine. I forgot which Imagine Cartridge I used for the patterned paper.

Have a great day!

Happy Birthday Pop!

My inspiration for this card came from one of the cards in the new Cricut magazine. What a nice magazine! I haven't subscribed to it yet but I did manage to get the first issue and I really think it is well done.

For this 5x7 card I used:
Old West cartridge (for the number 80)
hemp twine
Hero Arts stamp
EK Success border punch
Cuttlebug embossing folder
Kraft cardstock
patterned paper from Imagine More Cards cartridge

After running the number 80 thru the Cuttlebug with a polka dot embossing folder, I used a sandpaper block to sand the raised areas.

Imagine Card

This Birthday card was made using the Imagine More Cards cartridge. I used the Swiss Dot embossing folder in the Cuttlebug to give the cake some texture.

Enjoy your weekend!

Thanks for the Memories

This card is extra special to me because of the thanksgiving I have for the person it was made for. In addition, I've been looking forward to using a banner in a project since it looks so cute and it is all the rage right now. I'm never "in style" so this is my closest attempt, lol. And it is the first time I machine stitched on paper! It was such a fun card to make using the Imagine.

Here's how I made it:
Imagine Yummy cartridge (banner cut at 1.3 in., patterned paper background)
Imagine Nursery Tails cartridge (tree cut at 4.3 in.)
Hero Arts stamps
twine and button
sewing machine
chalked edges
Smooch Spritz Vanilla Glimmer on tree

I also made this card with a few challenges in mind - the Cricut Circle Monthly Challenge (requiring a project with a banner), the Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge (3 of the same cut in a project and use of spray ink) and in the Pink Stamper challenge (make something Springy).

I've put off sewing on paper for lots of reasons but I love the look so I decided to drag out the old sewing machine and give it a try. After a few minutes of figuring out how to thread the machine and put in the bobbin, I was off to sewing. It was great - so easy! So, if you've been putting it off don't wait any longer!!

Thanks for taking a look at my card! I really do appreciate your comments and encouragement!!

Happy crafting!

A Card for my Sweet Girl

How does 8 years go by so quickly? Wasn't it just yesterday that I was holding my baby in my arms? Now she's way too big to carry around! But I must say 8 is great! She is so much fun. And is becoming quite the crafter/cardmaker/ Cricuteer I might add.

Did you get in on any of the sale Cricut cartridges at Michael's these last few weeks? It was hard to resist - uh, so I didn't... The cartridge I used on this card was from one of those sale carts and it's called Sweet Treats. It was made using the card feature so it was quick and easy. I managed to wait till the day before her birthday to make the card so I'm glad it was fast to make. And since I used the Imagine too choosing the papers was a breeze. I used the Imagine More Cards cartridge for the patterned paper. I did have to make the "8" seperately (from Sweet Treats) and just glued it to the top of the candle that was on the cupcake card. It worked great.

Hope you enjoyed this simple card. Thanks for stopping by to take a look!

I'm Still Here

I'm still here but haven't posted in a very long time! Now that the holidays are over and my daughter's birthday is this weekend, I'm hoping to be crafty a lot more often very soon. Here's a card made with a digital stamp that I colored with Copic markers.

Hope you're having a great start to 2011!
