A Smiley Card

I was able to get the Gypsy carts download last night--WooHoo!  I LOVE being a Circle Member.  So I had to try out cutting something from the Smiley Cartridge.  I really would love a handbook so I know what the heck I'm doing.

I think this ice cream has some cheeks to cut out.  But, my Gypsy was going red and I wasn't feeling great (but had to finish!) so I improvised with i Rock gems.  I also added them for the eyes.  I added eyebrows with a marker because the pattern paper ripped just a bit and looked white, so I tried to fix it.

This is cut at 3 inches and only the base and the ice cream.  I also used a white pen for the stitching, MS Loopy edge punch and some pink ribbon.  The card is a bit smaller at 5 x 4 inches, I think.  The stamp is from My Pink Stamper Spooky Puns.

This looks to be a really fun cartridge!!!

Fantabulous News!!!

Hi everyone!

Just had to share my wonderful news--I was picked to be on the new Design Team at the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog!!!  I found out 2 days ago and wasn't sure I could say anything then.  I am so super exicted to be part of that wonderful blog. 

So make sure you enter the challenges on Mondays--they are lots of fun--and check out all the wonderful designers :)

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge

I wanted to make something for the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge this week.  The theme is Halloween, spooky or not.  I made this small treats and wanted to make a card too, but haven't been feeling well this week.  Which really stinks since my birthday is Sunday.  But I'm determined to go out to eat at some point--LOL!

Here are the details:

• Sweet (shadow, phrase, shift phrase) cut at 2 1/2 inches from Mini Monsters
• Treats (shadow, phrase, shift phrase) cut at 2 inches from Mini Monsters
• My Pink Stamper Spooky puns stamps
• Orange and 2 purple Stickles

I outline the letter of Sweet in 2 different purples.  The orange stickles went on the candy wrapper ends and topped an M & M bag.  For the bigger bag, I just used a scrap of purple to make the base.  It looked a little plain so I added the stamps.  That's all I got for creative right now.  But I do have 3 new cartridges on the way, so hopefully, I can get some Mojo for them!

Playing with Serenade by Flowerdisco & Friends Week 7

Well, it's our last week of Serenade :(  We've made it through the entire cartridge!  I have loved all my cuts, but this week was a bit different.  I had a stand--yep, just a stand.  I had to add a bird cage to it, so I used one from this same cartridge.

Here are the details:

• Stand cut at 4 inches, bird cage cut at 2 inches
• My Pink Stamper Friends & Family stamp
• Cuttlebug Birds & Swirls folder
• Yellow glitter paper for the cage
• DCWV mat stack paper
• i Rock gems
• American Crafts ribbon

The cuts were smaller than I thought they would be, but since it's a tall cut, I couldn't make it much bigger.  I think it turned out pretty good :)

Make sure to go visit everyone else and see their creations this week!

Create

This wall decor item is for the Cricut Circle Monthly Challenge.  I really wanted to get this finished before this week, but soccer and DT stuff came 1st!

So it's a really rainy, yucky day so the lighting is not the best!  Here's another shot to see the dimension.

Here are the details:

• Base cut out of chipboard at 7 inches from Home Decor
• Flower and flower shadow cut at 3 inches from Home Decor
• Butterfly and butterfly shadow cut at 2 inches from Home Decor
• Create and create shadow cut at 2 inches from Home Decor
• Yellow circle to fill in middle cut at 5 1/2 inches from Plantin Schoolbook
• Fruit Punch, Cotton Candy and Frosted Lace Stickles
• i Rock Gems

I cut the base from some chipboard and then cut it again in a yellow polka dotted paper.  The I cut it again in green so I could make the vine and the 'handle' a different color.

I decided I didn't like having an opening in the middle so I used DCWV glitter paper to make a circle to glue to the back.  I completely covered the flower and butterly in stickles and stickled the green parts.  I did use some pop dots to stick the layers together and to put on the create.  And of course, I added some i Rock gems to the word Create!

Poodle Pink

I made this card last night while waiting for My Pink Stamper's UStream to start.  Two cards in one night--I'm trying to catch up from not having crafting time this week :)

Here are the details:

• Poodle from Create a Critter cut at 3 1/2 inches
• My Pink Stamper Even More Punnylicious stamps
• Peachy Keen Critter Faces
• EK Success pawprint border punch
• Pink stickles
• Pink Ribbon
• pop dots -- 2 different heights

I am not sure about all the paw prints.  I probably should only have put 2 but my daughter thinks it is cute.  The face stamp had a nose, but I did't want it.  So I used a marker to ink everything but the nose to stamp the face. 

Lots to do today, but the 9am soccer game is out of the way.  I'd love to gave a game that wasn't at 9 :)

Have a great Saturday!

My Pink Stamper UStream Challenge

Here's a card that I made for Robyn's 30 minute UStream Challenge.  We had to use pink, purple, and green. 

Here are the details:

• Frog from Create a Critter cut at 3 1/2 inches
• My Pink Stamper Even More Punny-licious stamp :)
• Purple dotted ribbon
• Pink Stickles
• iRock gems for eyes
• Swiss Dot Cuttlebug Folder

Quick and easy!  The green paper had a cut out of it so I gave the froggie a bow!!
