CC Ornament

Here is an ornament I made for the Cricut Circle ornament challenge.  The challenge was to make an ornament with 4 cuts on the Cricut and another Provo Craft tool.  I choose to use the Cuttlebug for my other tool. 

I really wanted to make something 3D so here is what I came up with!  The snowflakes are all from the When It's Cold Outside cartridge.  I picked my favorite snowflake and cut the black out version twice and the overlay 4 times all at 4".  I then put the overlay on both sides of the blackout version and cut slits up the middle to be able to connect them together.  I used embossing powder to cover the paper and make it a shiny snowflake!!!  I then cut 3 smaller snowflakes from 3/4" to 1.5" and embossed them with the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder.  They are hanging from the large snowflakes with fishing wire.  I really like the finished product and the look that the embossing I did gave the ornament!  I am officially in the Christmas mood :)

Enjoy!

Birthdays :)

Happy Halloween!  I am trying to spend my time getting some cards done before trick or treating starts around here.  This is my Cricut Circle sketch challenge creation.  You had to turn into a birthday theme which was perfect because I need 2 birthday cards for friends this week.  Here is what I came up with using George cart and Once Upon a Princess cart.  I first made the one with no embossing and decided it need a little more texture so I made another using the cuttlebug! 

This is also my submission for The Crafty Calendar Challenge who is also having a birthday theme challenge :)

Enjoy!

Winter Card

Well, now that November 1st is approaching my mind can start thinking about Christmas, lol!  Here is my first Christmas card of the season, and I LOVE how it turned out :)  I used white paper and baby blue to give a little pop.  This card is made with the Christmas cart.  If you have a gypsy and register it by the 31st, you will get this cart in the download! 

This card is also made for the Throwback Thursday challenge and the  No Time to Stamp challenge.  You were suppose to use Celebrations for the Throwback challenge, but my sister has borrowed several of my carts and I don't have that one right now so I had to improvise!  Enjoy!

HAPPY MONDAY FRIENDS!  I haven't forgot about all of you...I had a very busy weekend and did not get much crafting done!  Luckily though there is no school around here on Thursday and Friday so I will be able to get lots of crafting done and catch up on lost time!  Here is a quick bag I made this weekend though to hold a present.  It is made from Mini Monsters at 11".  I LOVE how it turned out :)  Have a great day and I will be back with posts on Thursday!!

Enjoy!

Have a Crabulous Birthday!

Here's to another weekend :)  I broke down and ordered a gypsy today...hopefully it will be worth the money I do not have, lol!  I had some time today to work on a birthday card for a good friend.  I made it using Create a Critter and the fish are patterned with the Best Friends cart.  I added texture to the sand and water background by crumpling up the papers.  I am really excited how the card turned out.  I made this card using the imagine because that was what was on my crafting table already, but everything can easily be cut with your regular bug and colored/patterned paper.

I am adding this to My Pink Stamper's "Something Cute" Challenge and Emma's Throwback Thursday "Animal" Challenge. 

I hope you can all find some time to craft and relax this weekend!  Enjoy!

MPS Halloween Challenge

My Pink Stamper is having many different challenges this week.  Yesterdays challenge was to make a fall or halloween card.  I decided to make this little candycorn trick-or-treater from Mini Monsters.  Since I love candycorn, this card is good enough for me to eat, lol!  Enjoy!
