Guest Designer

Hi Cricutjunkies,

I wanted to share some exciting news!!

I am being featured as a Guest Designer at Irongatestamps.  I am really impressed with how crisp my embossed image came out. The stamps are a really nice quality.  My inspiration for this card was the mustache on the stamp set (see below) I thought it would be fitting for a Manly Birthday card. Stay tuned for more cards from this cute stamp set in the coming weeks. Hope you enjoy!

Toilet Paper Album In A Box

Hi Cricutjunkies,

I have been on a Mini Album and TP Roll Album kick lately, it seems like once you make one you can't stop. I made this really cute TP Roll Album in a box by following a tutorial from mysisterscrapper on Youtube (she has great tutorials) I think it came out great being that it is my first time making a box for the TP roll album.  I don't like the size of the toilet paper roll so I use Paper Towel Roll. This was a really fun project. Hope you enjoy!!

Front
The box measures 3"x 6" and the paper on the front and back cover is My Minds Eye-Lost & Found  

Back
Paper towel rolls are cut at 5" in height. The inside paper is from K & Company Handmade

Valentine Day Card and Pillow Box

Happy Valentine Day Cricutjunkies,

I wanted to share a Valentine day card that I made for my Hubby and some cute pillow boxes I made for my coworkers.  I used Create a Critter Cart and and old Stampin up stamp I found in my stash probably from the 90's for the sentiment.

This was a really quick card, I was trying to keep it simple and masculine, although I couldn't help putting the bow in her hair.

Action Wobbles are great

The sentiment is from a valentine stamp from my stash, This is a great way to use stamps you wouldn't normally use on the front of a card. 

I bought the pillow boxes at Michael's about 6 months ago for $1.79 and didn't have a clue what I would use them for but I though it was a great deal. (glad I bought them)

I made 20 in about 3 hours and that was including cutting the heart and scallop out on the cricut and filling them with chocolate.

I am proud to say all products were used from my stash.

Birthday Card SOS #89

Hi Cricutjunkies,

Here is a really cute and simple Cricutless Birthday card. I saw something similar in a Stampin Up catalog and decided to make my rendition. Of course my card looks nothing like the catalog but it still came out cute and it was very quick and easy. I am entering this card in the Shopping Our Stash challenge #89. Create something with a birthday theme. This card is perfect because everything I used is from My Stash.

I used the MS scallop square punch an exacto knife and a small circle punch to cut the squares. I stamped various birthday themed images in the squares and used color pencils to color them in.

 

The card is a A2 size card that I cut down and added several scallop borders.

I then added some ribbon, flowers and a few pearls.

Hope you are inspired to use your stash.  

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #146

Hi Cricutjunkies,
 
Happy Monday! I am entering a card in the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Me Monday the challenge is to create a project that includes a clock or something that pertains to time. Since I've been sticking to my crafting resolution and not craft shopping {It Has Been Really Hard} The only thing I could find in my stash was a spinner. I hope this qualifies if not I had fun playing along.   

This is a really cute stamp set from Avocado Arts. I used a craft knife to cut the squares out and found various stamps from my stash to stamp the inside. Cartridge-Elegant Edges.
Envelope Idea: I ran out of 5x5 envelopes so instead of shopping, I pulled out some old paper that I would probably never use since my crafting taste has changed and decided to make an envelope, using my MS score board.

It turned out perfect-economical and cute.  

As always I use a strip of coordinating paper & stamp on the inside of my cards.
 
Please stop by Fantabulous Cricut Challenge and join the fun. Enjoy!
 
 

Man's Birthday Card

Cricutjunkies,

Happy Crafty Tuesday! I am entering a challenge at Fantabulous Cricut called "It's A Man's World" One of my personal challenges is to make more masculine cards, so I thought this challenge was calling my name. I don't own many carts that I consider manly so I pulled out one of my favorite boy cartridges  "Nate's ABC" and made a masculine Birthday Card. I added a little glossy accents to the tires along with a brad and a few odds & ends from my stash. "Wahlaa" A Masculine Card.
 

 

Card Size: 6x6

Cart: Nate's ABC cut at 5.70

Paper: My Stash

Stamp: Close to my heart

Hope you enjoy!
