Fantabulous Cricut -- Emboss It!

Hi everyone!  Thanks for stopping by for another Fantabuous Cricut Challenge Me Monday post!!  This week, you need to Emboss It!  Any kind, dry or wet.  I used my Cuttlebug and a matching embossing folder to go along with my cartridge today.

Here are the details:
  • Pear cut from Preserves cartridge at 3 1/2 inches
  • Cuttlebug Preserves Companion Folder
  • My Pink Stamper Fruit & Veggie Puns
  • Honeydew Twine from The Twinery
  • iRock gems
  • pop dots
I love to emboss on cards so it was a great assignment this week.  This was pretty easy to put together, but that is what I like to show here anyway--LOL! Make sure to head over the Fantabulous Cricut blog to see all the design team's wonderful projects and be sure to play along too :)

It's crazy at my house!

Hi everyone!  So sorry I don't have anything to show you today.  We are getting new flooring in our entire downstairs today and had to move EVERYTHING.  So it's been a bit busy/messy here.  I did have a few projects made, but one is for Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Me Monday which you will see Monday and the other is for My Pink Stamper's Design Team on Tuesday. 

I hope to be able to get something up Sunday, but I do have to put everything back.  But it will be so worth it when all is finished!!

Have a great day :)

Cupcake Card & Winner

Hi everyone!  I was hard at work trying to make some cards for a publication call and luckily, they extended the deadline!! I'm trying my hand at getting published this year--not sure if that will ever happen, but I figure that it won't hurt to try :)

Here's a card I made that I decided not to submit.  It's cute, but I don't think it has that wow factor.  I also have the winner from the Pinkalicious Blog Hop at the end of this post :)

Here are the details:
  • Cupcake cut at 3 1/4 inches from the Sweet Treats cartridge
  • My Pink Stamper Fabulous Phrases stamp (LOVE this set!)
  • Little Yellow Bicycle Cupcake Galore with Glitter pattern paper
  • The Paper Company Pastel Yellow and Pastel Pink Cardstock
  • Bazzill Basics Watermelon cardstock
  • Pebbles Rasberry Ribbon
  • Positively Pink SU! Ink
  • Yellow and Xmas Red Stickels by Ranger
  • Pop dots
I cut out a blackout cut of the base layer and used pop dots in between to add a little dimension.

And make sure to check out My Pink Stamper's Blog to see where you can purchase her stamps--her newest ones are really great!

Now I have the winner of the My Pink Stamper Everyday Life set.  Random.org picked:

Welcome to Crafting Cricut Mom and the fourth Fantabulous Cricut Crawl...Fantabulous Cricut's version of a blog hop! 

Valentine's Day is in a week and everyone at Fantabulous Cricut has decided to Share the Love!   Each Design Team member will be featuring an original Valentine-themed project that includes the word LOVE somewhere on it.

If you've come from visiting Erin at Spantastikreations , you're in the right place! If you've just happened across my blog and would like to play along with our Fantabulous Cricut Crawl, start HERE .

Make sure to check out each DT member's blog for some awesome inspiration! There will be PRIZES along the way at some of our DT members' blogs, AND there will be a Grand Prize up for grabs at FCCB for one participant that submits a "Share the Love" project at FCCB!

How fun is that?

For my project, I made a quick Lots of Love book using my Your Story Photo.
 I used a large dot Cuttlebug folder to emboss the 4 x 6 cover.  I cut different shades pink pink cardstock at 4 x 6 to fill the inside.  The cut is from Birthday Bash at 3 1/2 inches.  I tied twine from The Twinery around the cover and added some self-stick gems. I'm not sure if I'm adding pictures to the inside to just use it as a notebook.

I do have blog candy for you!!  But I'm having internet issues and will post a photo later.  Here's a picture--sorry for the bad quality, I am having multiple technical issues! I have a Martha Stewart Cupcake Edge Punch, A Little Yellow Bicycle Cupcake sticker pack and a package of self-stick pink gems. To enter, please leave one comment and a way for me to contact you if you win!  I will draw a winner this weekend.

Now it's your turn! Let's see your Share the Love projects!  Make sure to include a Cricut cut somewhere on your project and the word Love!

Next stop is Jamie's blog, Cute Cards & Crafts by Jamie. Go see what she has in store for you today... And when you're done, make sure to link up your project to FCCB's Fantabulous Cricut Crawl post to be entered into the contest!

Happy Crawling!

Love Light Block

Hello!  Here's a quick post for you today.  I've been busy getting ready for our Share the Love Fantabulous Cricut Crawl that starts tomorrow.  Be sure to visit and share in the love and try to win some prizes too!!

Here's a gift I made for a swap on the Cricut MB.  We had a Valentine exchange and needed to make some things to give as well.  So I made a quick glass block.  I only took this one picture and this time I put the design on both sides.  I want to make one for me now too :)  The hearts are from Plantin Schoolbook, cut at 1 inch and 2 1/4 inches and the love came from Home Decor and is cut at one inch.  I used frost glass spray and pink, white and red vinyl. 

Have a great day and be sure to visit Fantabulous Cricut tomorrow and join the Crawl!!
