Wild Thing

Friday's Halloween Project (a day late):

Here was a quick page I put together using Close To My Heart's Hooligans Paper Packet and My Stickease. No cricut for this page, which was really weird for me to do. I always use my cricut for most of my projects.

Be on the look out for more Halloween projects next Friday, October 15th!

Crazy Around Here

OK, it's Friday and I have not had a chance to sit down and create a Halloween project. I am so so sorry. I have been gone all day with my 1st grader and her class on a Field Trip to the farm. We had lots of fun picking corn, green beans, potatoes, celery and carrots. All the veggies are clean now and I am going to make a yummy stew this weekend. Tomorrow should be less hectic for me so I should be able to sit down and create something spooky to share.


So please stay tuned....

Weekly Challenge #1: OOH, LA LA! FRENCH MANOR!

The new Cricut Circle Blog is going to have Weekly Friday Challenges. This week was to create something using the French Manor cartridge. Here was the catch, you must included JEWELS or PEARLS and your project must have at lease two cuts. Since I love the Tri-Fold Shutter card I decided to make another one using the Eifel tower from the French Manor cartridge as my focus. I am super happy with this card and hope everyone likes it too.

Got Scraps? Halloween Challenge

Got Scraps? is having their first Monday of the Month challenge. I decided to create a Tri-fold Shutter card. I have seen these cards all over the Internet and have been wanting to try to make one for some time. They look difficult to create but it was actually very simple.

For my card I used Close To My Heart's NEW paper packet called Hooligans. It is just absolutely adorable!! I also used the Hooligans felt stickers from Close To My Heart and Scrappy Moms: A Haunting We Will Go stamp set.

Here is the basic card recipe.

I want CANDY! Treat Bag

Where does the week go? I have been so busy with custom orders that I forgot to do my Friday Halloween project. So I do apologise that this is a few days late.

To create this cute treag bag I used the Bat Treat Bag from the Mini Monsters cartridge. I cut the bag out of a 12x12 piece of Amethyst Close To My Heart cardstock and choose the Fit To Page feature on my Cricut Expressions. This cut it out at 6". Then I chose a darker shade of purple (Hydrangea from Close To My Heart) for the mouth wings and handles. Remember to deselect the Fit To Page feature when cutting out the accents of the bag. Otherwise they will be way to big! Then I cut the ears (I think that is what they are) out of gray Bazzill textured cardstock and the the eyes and fangs from black and white cardstock. He is very easy to make would be great to give to the class filled with treats at this years Halloween party!!

SUPERMAN Cupcake Holder

I just got the Superman Cricut cartridge in my mail a few days ago and saw that it made these really cute cupcake holders. Since I am working on a custom Superhero order I thought they would be perfect for her son's party.

To cut the cupcake holder I decided to try it at "fit to page" on a 12x12 mat and it was perfect!! Now when you cut out the building and details make sure you turn off the fit to page feature and cut those out at 11 1/4" (same as the holder). This will fit perfectly.

If you have any questions on creating this cupcake holder using the Superman Cricut Cartridge please feel free to contact me.

1st Imagine Card: Best Friends

OK, here is my first card using only my Cricut Imagine. It's sort of an odd size card (4 1/4" x 7") but it's super cute!! I used the Nursery Tails cartridge along with textured white Bazzill cardstock. I really am liking the textured cardstock with the cut-outs.
