Hello crafty friends. Time for another challenge @ Hiding In My Craft Room.
Our sponsor this week is Stamp and Create. Check out their awesome products HERE!
For the Super Scraps Saturday challenge I dug these papers and ribbon out.
I used Jaded Blossom's Card Mat Dies and Layered Frame & Journal Dies. I added a sentiment from CTMH Harvest Happiness stamp set.
Now go to HIMCR to see what the other designers created, and be sure to link up your entry in the challenge. See ya next time!!!
This week's challenge over at Exploring Cricut Challenge Blog was to use a turkey image from any Cricut cartridge. Well my first instinct was to choose a really cute turkey from either Smiley Cards or Create a Critter, but in the end, I decided to use the turkey from the Cricut Wildlife Cartridge.
I positioned the images on my Gypsy.
I hit my paper stash and found two pieces of CM papers from years ago. Here they are placed on the mat, ready to cut on my E2.
A piece of 5.5" x 8.5" piece of SU Old Olive cardstock folded in half makes the card base. A piece of 4" x 5.25" piece of SU Dusty Durango cardstock makes the
layer. The border trimmed with SU elegant punch. And a piece of SU Soft Suede ribbon.
A piece of SU Kraft cardstock cut at 2" x 2 3/4", corners punched with SU elegant corner punch then embossed with Sizzix embossing folder and inked with SU Old Olive ink. Popped the turkey on with SU dimensionals, and added a few buttons for accent. A quick sentiment from Pink By Design's "Bountiful Blessings" set in SU Chocolate Chip ink and...
Thanks for stopping by. Now your turn. Go to Exploring Cricut and enter your project for the challenge!! Until next time...
Happy Hump Day, Ya'll! Don't worry, you're not experiencing deja vu. My card was made using the same patterned paper and cardstock as my Challenge project from Monday.
I started with a piece of Stampin' Up! Early Espresso cardstock cut at 5 1/2 inches x 8 1/2 inches folded in half. I then cut a piece of SU Old Olive cardstock at 4 inches x 5 1/4 inches and added a piece of pattened paper cut at 3 3/4 inches x 4 5/8 inches using my ATG. I added a piece of ribbon I had gotten at Hobby Lobby last year.
I just got the Cricut Sophisticated for my birthday and wanted to use it, so I chose the 3rd image on the cart and cut it at 4.14 inches. I always use my Gypsy when cutting with my cricut.
I used SU Early Espresso, Cajun Craze and More Mustard cardstock. Here you can see all the pieces on my mat, ready to be cut.
The different layers are ready to be put together. I adhered the patterned layer to the brown base using my ATG, then added the image with SU dimensionals. I then used my SU Early Espresso ink with a sentiment from Pink by Design's "Bountiful Blessings" stamp set. And voila!
Such a quick and simple card. Hope you like it. Now it's your turn to make a quick and simple card! Until next time...
This is my project for the Challenge this week at Exploring Cricut Challenge Blog. Another Recipe Layout (without a printed recipe), LOL.
I started with an 8 x 8 piece of Stampin' Up! Early Espresso cardstock and used a 7 1/2 x 7 1/2 inch piece of printed paper from Stampin' Up!
Autumn Traditions Designer Series paper placed on top to make a framed base.
Then I cut out my leaves and acorns using Cricut CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge that coordinates with the CTMH Harvest Happiness stamp set.and used the suggested sizes for each cut.
The Title was cut at 1.25 inches using the font on the same cartridge. For the teapot and cups, I used Cricut Pagoda cartridge.
I used Stampin' Up! Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, More Mustard, and Wild Wasabi cardstock for my cuts. (Old Olive would have coordinated better.)
And here is another page for my recipe book. I'd love to get it completed with 3 copies in all. 2 for my two oldest girls, and one to keep.
Hope you like how I used the leaves and acorns in this project. Thanks for stopping by and Until next time...
Happy Hump Day, my crafty Peeps! Rosette themed wreaths seem to be all the rage these days.... I won't be left out! LOL! Seriously, I think they are adorable and I had to try one for myself.
I started off with the gorgeous DCWV Harvest Gatherings Stack.
I used several different patterned papers from this stack to make my different sized rosettes. There are several tutorials out there on how to make rosettes, but you can find one here from YOUTUBE.
I made my wreath base by taking the largest rosettes and hot gluing them together to make a "cirle." (Well, circle-ish) Then I added the smaller ones here and there to fill it in.
I also added these loose fall leaves that I found at Michaels. Just hot glued them here and there to give it some character.
I used my Gypsy(Mareiska) to cut out this cute scarecrow from the Cricut Lite Celebrate with Flourish cartridge @ 5.5 inches.
I used Mareiska to cut this pumpkin bundle from the Disney Pooh and Friends cartridge @ 3.5 inches.
Mareiska helped me with this Welcome sign, too. She had to work a little harder though. I used the Home Accents cartridge for the sign. I started with the sign @ 10 inches wide. I unhighlighted the little chain between the length and width and shrunk the height so that the Welcome would fit on a 2 inch piece of paper with a thin border visible. Then cut the word Welcome using the Cricut Lite Lovely Floral cartridge. (When it comes to using my Cricut, Mareiska is my BFF--I don't use Cricut w/o her)
Here are close up pics of the pumpkins and scarecrow--he's cute!!
And the finished project. I added some button embellishments here and there to the rosettes, for "pizzazz." (whatever that word means, I just like how it sounds...pizzazz!) LOL!
Well, I hope you liked my project for today and if you haven't made one , try it out for yourself! Until next time.....
