I made these treats for the Fall Festival at my son’s elementary school. Yum! Graveyard cake (had to throw some Cricut in there! Happy Hauntings font), and Mini Monsters cookies! I used my Gypsy for the designs, love that thing. I broke down and bought one and soooo glad I did. It makes using the Cricut so much easier. Now, to tackle the Happy Hauntings 3D Haunted House!
I broke down and bought a Gypsy. I have been obsessed with my Cricut and this was the icing on the cake! Love it! I made this card for my cousin’s 15th birthday. She is the coolest kid! Bouncy, happy, and a little goofy….just like me! I designed this card for her using the Gypsy and used CS cardstock, Expressions, Gratitude, Cyprus, and used Paper Doll Dress Up and Billionaire Cricut cartridges. I used the Gypsy to weld the font together. My first try at “ribbon ruffles”, so cute! Happy 15th Birthday Morgan!

WE LOVE YOU!!!
I made these cards for my nieces and nephew to celebrate the new school year. Everyone loves to get mail, especially when you are a kid! I personalized each card so that they would feel special. I used the Stretch Your Imagination Cricut cartridge for the school bus, Wild Card for the phrase, and Everyday Paper Dolls for the figures. So cute! The school bus and paper dolls are cut at 3”, the phrase is cut at 5”, the road border is cut at 2 1/2. I used Club Scrap cardstock and POPS. Stickles for bling!
I have been participating in an online challenge hosted by Club Scrap called the PSL or Pro Scrapbookers League™ Camp Yah- Hey-n-So. This has been such an inspiration to me to complete some cards and to USE MY CRICUT EXPRESSION! I have watched some fantastic tutorials by My Pink Stamper and Obsessed with Scrapbooking. These ladies have done a terrific job with their instructional videos! These are my cards from the last week of PSL Camp….
This card was made with multiple papers from Club Scrap cardstock. Their cardstock is fantastic! Most of the sheets are 80 lb cover weight and cut beautifully with the Cricut. I used the Just Because Cricut cart and used the Fit to Page (12*12 CS) feature on the card and applied that measurement to all the die cuts. I ended up with a pretty large card and used The Enveloper by the Crafter’s Companion to make the envelope, also out of CS card stock. Easy and the envelope (1/2 US letter paper size) was perfect! Of course you can make the card smaller with your Cricut.
I used the Sentimentals cart and Club Scrap cardstock for this one. Club Scrap has small packages of coordinating paper called POPS (Pound of Paper) that you can add to your monthly kit. The sizes range from 3*5 to 5*7, perfect for backing photos, journaling, and using with the Cricut;)! I cut the telephone on a 5*7 piece of cardstock and used the FTP feature. It cut at 4 1/2”. I “tangled” on it with a gold gel pen. This fit perfectly on a 6*6 card. I cut the phrase at 2”. I used one of the Martha Stewart punches for the border.
I love this one! I made it for my sister’s birthday! I used two cartridges for this one, Forever Young and Storybook. I had a 5*7 card from one of Club Scrap’s Greetings to Go kits and had to test my cuts a few times before I got the size I wanted. Using the Storybook cart I cut the phrase at 4 1/2” and the frame I used the FTP feature on a 5*7 POP. I cut the model at 4 1/2” using the Forever Young cart. I embossed the hot pants using my Cuttlebug and rubbed with Club Scrap’s onyx ink pad. I embellished with gems. I hadn’t tried the pop dots and bought them on a whim while shopping. They worked perfect for adhering these gem embellishments! I’ve tried many different kinds of glue and decided to try Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive after watching Joy on Obsessed with Scrapbooking. Love this for layering these Cricut die cuts.
Oh I am loving Zentangles! The technique is time consuming, but I love the results. I used the Wild Card Cricut cartridge as a template for the owl, and Martha Stewart’s photo corner embossing punch. Of course Ten Seconds Studios chocolate brown metal and Club Scrap’s cardstock from the Henna collection. I distressed the edges with Club Scrap’s Earth ink. WHOO, WHOOOOO?!
More Ten Seconds Studios metal and Club Scrap cardstock... I used oval Nestabilities to die cut the opening to the Fleur de Lis card and embossed with the Cuttlebug. I stamped the Haberdashery stamp with Staz On ink on the backside of the TSS metal and "puffed" the image. I got this idea from Lin at Paper Artsy. I distressed with black acrylic paint and sanded the image. The angel design is taken from TSS's DVD "A to Z of Metal Works". Now, I’m off to metalize my world!
Zentangle is an easy to learn and relaxing method of creating beautiful images from repetitive patterns. I remember doing this type of "doodling" in art class in junior high! I saw this technique featured on Ten Seconds Studios blog. Fun stuff, so I had to try it using TSS metal for my PSL cards at Club Scrap this week! So…..here’s my card….
Love that Cricut! Love that CS cardstock! Together they make the prettiest cards ever! I used paper and embellishments from the Sonoma collection and the Summer in Paris Cricut cartridge. Stickles for bling. The images had to be cut at 51/2 or larger because they are so intricate. Turned out that was a perfect size for these Sonoma G2G cards.
I loved this Club Scrap kit, Artifacts, January 2009! It was perfect for my niece Ellie’s first year swim team pictures. My dilemma was that I did not want these gorgeous pages in page protectors. God I hate those! It reminds me of an old lady I knew when I was a kid. She covered all of her furniture with plastic, carpet too! If I am making a book for little ones, I will use them, otherwise I like my pages to be 3-D, interactive, and touchable! I played with some different ideas and came up with this one. Because Club Scrap paper is so thick and sturdy, I felt comfortable making an accordion fold binding out of it. I glued my 12*12 pages back to back and glued them to the accordion spine. I bought a sheet of matte board at Hobby Lobby and had them cut it into 14*14 squares, (I ended up with 4 and two smaller pieces for another project). The covers ended up costing $5 or so, I couldn’t buy an album for that! I modge podged some of the Artifacts paper to the covers and used some grungeboard hinges for extra support. I am so pleased with how this turned out!
This was “handmade for you by Wendy-woo”…for my cousin’s children. I love the Graphic 45 paper outside covers, and OF COURSE Club Scrap for the inside pages and ALSB layouts! I had to throw some Ten Seconds Studios metal in there too…
I used 8x8 canvases and covered them with Graphic 45 paper and Modge Podge (LOVE THAT STUFF). I used 6x6 ALSB layouts for the inside pages. I was experimenting with the binding. I used ball chain instead of looseleaf rings. It allowed for a little more freedom. I hope they enjoy it as much as I did making it!
Can you believe I almost threw this out? My husband would roll his eyes at that. He says I always throw/give away his stuff... This was a TV remote holder turned pencil/tool holder for my craft table. LOVE IT! One of the few things that I actually keep! Ten Seconds Studios...check them out!
This was a wooden art case that we had to "metalize". It was my first time to use Modge Podge. I think I love that stuff!!! The front.....
PMC silver jewelry, yes we did that too! I was hot to buy a kiln after that....
