5 march Guest designer on Exploring Cricut...


I am so excited to be a part of an awesome blog as a Guest Designer..

today, I wanted a happy card - bright and cheerful!

Cartridges used:

Simply Charmed for the smile face cut out at  3in.  and Peachy Keen PK-461 Happy lashes. An adorable set.  Enhanced on her pretty cheeks was my finger tip dipped in Blush rose color box cat eye.   Inked around the sun, using the Sunny yellow ink pad from ctmh.

Enjoy the Seasons, Imagine cartridge was used to create the background paper.  I cut out the paper at 6in and then cut to fit, depending on the size I want the card.   I used Star Dust and Yellow stickles to add extra sparkles on the paper and over the i in smile...

Stamp set You make me Smile All Over ; kid quotes from inkadinkado.  stamped with black ink from ctmh on yellow paper from my stash!   I tore around the edges a lil left over paper sparkled it all over with the stickles and stuck it under the sentiment.

14 Feb -USE STAMPS ON A CARD



Please join us at mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com to see more projects created by the awesome Design Team.

using stamps on a card  is the theme today - I then added a cartridge saying...
      and by the way...  HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!

I stamped on the card using the stamps: Technique Tuesday; a little more organized (has tons of random words for paper crafting) and CTMH W189 font Alphabets (I stamped the words cricut, bags & tags)

**Using the CTMH ink pads:  chocolate, ocean, sunflower & tulip

** Cricut Cartridge Car Decals was used for the saying  "I love crafting"

random stamping to start.  Can't say it's done with perfection but as good as I can..... as stamping, scrap-booking and paper crafting is NEVER REALLY perfect.. is it???
Notice the CRICUT in between the   I'd rather be... CRICUT.... crafting - that's how I roll.....  that wasn't planned but turned out pretty cool!

I am going to keep this for a gift card for either a blog hop or my daughter..

Please head back to Erica's site over at  mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com to see more projects created with stamping on a card OR making of an Valentine Day card by my fellow DT sisters...

NOW onto our scheduled Blog hop....
MY cartridges today being featured are:  CAR DECALS - FATHERS DAY and BATMAN
                               
                                      CAR DECALS
I was asked to make a card with feet for the toes.. (um okay..)  for a lady who is getting a pedicure from her friends for her birthday!  hmmm. so as i was looking for this blog hop and... - WHALAA.. there is feet on my featured cartridge..   CAR DECALS!  So here goes.
-SMOOCHES - various colors!  I used 12 colors. I know 10 toes...  white on the tip of toe and red on the card itself.
- TOES cut at 5.5 inches on the Imagine and then using the RGB code of  255 220 177 for the feet color.

- I typed the sentiment on my computer. There needs to be more pedi-mani word stamps! lol   SEE all the spots on there - it's to represent all the nail-polish we brush off first before our toes gets it..

- stamp set is from Inkadinkado - Stamp It, Girlfriend.  I used the nailpolish bottle and stamped randomly on the card base with the black stazon ink pad.  then using the SMOOCHES - I just pained in the middle of the bottle.

- inked around the edges is ctmh ink pad bubblegum

- Peachy Keen Stamp set PRINCESS faces 1 1/8th PK 641 and high-lighted with extra color from ctmh watercolor pencils.  I saw after I was looking - I forgot her blush  -so I went back and highlighted her pretty cheeks.
I have got to say   -It looks MUCH cuter in person!



FATHER'S DAY CARTRIDGE
my hubby wanted this made to the size you see..  I wanted to go bigger but nope - this is exactly what he wanted and where it is!!
Using Fathers Day and cutting out at 5in & Using the Imagine for the built in colors just makes me so very happy!  wanted to use vinyl but as he says  -it's my project and I want paper. (okay then..)

on HIS door.. to HIS room..  
Using the pre-selected colors in the Imagine - this made this card an easy quick card. ALL cuts in the Fathers Day cartridge.  Is this not a cool recliner cut out at 3in. I love the remote control whcih is cut at 1.5  (word of wisdom.. the larger the remote control the better). the Remote control up on 3d dots to give a little depth.  DAD came from CTMH June stamp set.  Twine is yellow and black from ctmh.

NEXT CARD AND LAST for FATHERS DAY!
 Notice that Jayden wrote on the top of the card... TO DAD...  before I could take a picture...
  Hope you like his card, he says!
 
 The FATHERS DAY seasonal cartridge is perfect as dad just likes many of the items on this cool cartridge.  so we have an 81/2 x 11 card-stock folded in half and inked blue (like the sky, I am told) since Dad does these outside. 
*  I embossed the life jacket with the Cracked Sizzix from Tim Holtz embossing folder. *The Golf handle is embossed with  the Herringbone  PC cuttlebug folder and Spots and Dots embossed folder on the golf ball.  Jayden insists this is what the golf ball looks like. the tee that the ball sits on was colored green since dad has some green ones.
*  the fish were cut out on grey ctmh cs on the Paper Dolls for Everyday cricut cartridge.  
**  The sentiment inside is such a cute one that I have had for years. 2005 Stampin up.  I don't recall the set name except it came with a little girls and boy dressed up like mom & dad.  
BATMAN CARTRIDGE
This is my project for today which isn't much BUT it's what my 7yr old wanted... his name .. just like that!  Cut out at 4in for each of the capes (which in #36 on the overlay) and is shown for a party decor BUT as we know.. there is no limitations to creativity  and the font is on the cartridge too and cut out at 1.5 each.  Colors are from the built in from the Imagine.  Threaded and hung on Blue twine from Ctmh.

some previous batman creations I have made for a birthday boy last year.   (HINT: The larger the cut the better to put it together for the characters!!)  ALL characters are cut at 6 or 7in.


details are awesome!


strips of black card stock & batman patterned paper, had in stash.  Batman font letters cut from cartridge;   misc stickers are on here too as well as some cricut cuts
It still hangs up in his room.   -  "HOLY BATMAN  IT"S MASON"S 5 BIRTHDAY

take a white sandwich bag ink it up with yellow ink and glue on bats for party bags - easy and cheap!




Who knew a door hanger could be turned into an invitation!!   FRONT & BACK.  It's a door hanger BUT an awesome invite that also fits in the invitation envelopes!  Cut out at 4in. The sentiment is from the cartridge too! I just typed up the invite details and cut to fit.





Please head on over to to continue on this fun day of creativity of my fellow DT sister...  JAMIE

The letter of the day is D..


I hope you have visited my other talented and creative Design Team Sisters. BUT if not, please head on back to mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com and be ready to be Inspired!  I would really love it if you'd leave some : dino-ments for me..  lol  get it  comments   LOL  always appreciated..

Letter D bring today the Cricut cartridge..

Dinosaur Tracks...  what a cute cartridge for the old and young alike....

** stamp saying  - Cloud Nine designs; simple thoughts - happy birthday.
**Mountains created at 1.5 in (there are different layers) I cut the same layer out  few times and layered them to give it the effect of a BIG mountain.
** the T-Rex (#1 on overlay) cut out at 2in.
** the twine is from Ctmh as well as the ink that is inked on here through the dino and the paper itself
** embossed using the bird Call from cuttlebug for the background  I wanted the feel of the leaves, twigs etc.. that I imagined would be.
** Dino has a cute googly eye and is embossed using Burlap from Sizzix tim holtz.


This is a tag on #1 overlay "TAG  Function and just inked with chocolate ink and given a special eye.

Here is a card I made a while ago that I wanted to show you since I bet no one has ever seen him.. Still with the LETTER D  -Dinosaur.  I had in mind for an older person for this card.
I loved creating this dinosaur from Create a Critter cut at 2.80w & 2.68 h.  
.  Other items used:  *Gypsy wanderings used for the frame that Dino sits on and then embossed using the Cracked embossing folder from Tim Holtz from Sizzix.    
** Cuttlebug set of Animal prints was used to emboss the tail and the top body of the dinosaur.  I used peachy Keen stamps from critter faces set A med. 
** I also used cardstock from Ctmh: kiwi (deleted now) , orange and clover meadow.  Bamboo Ink from ctmh used on the edging of card.  I love inking around edges!!  
  ** the twine is also from CTMH
** oops.. fogot which cartridge the leaves came from..  My gypsy is not near me (how dare I .. lol) 
**  The saying on the outside of the card is one my hubby thought of when I told him I was making a birthday card..  Cute huh!!     
** the inside of the card saying is from CTMH D1111 card sentiments.  
I hope you have enjoyed this card.

Inside of the card said -      "You're not getting older...  You're getting better".


I also used a dinosaur from the 25 days of Christmas -  Day 9 CLICK HERE   if you'd like to see another example of a dinosaur but he too is from Create a Critter.
