18 June - Teacher card - Imagine Style

 I am glad you are here today, BUT (always a but... huh..)  BUT... I would LOVE it if you would go back to Erica's Craft Room at mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com  to see what My Creative Dt sisters have created for you Using their Imagines or even picking the Letter of the day which is.....

many of these supplies can be purchased at Erica's on-line store at http://www.shop.ericascraftroom.com/ so when you are done seeing all these creative ideas - head on over there and see what specials you can find today!

 I have made 2 cards today - I love my Imagine and wanted to show off the new cartridge; Word of Mouth.

On page 23 - I saw this cutest image of dog & cat -  and my daughter came to mind  -she has and loves both and as her and her boyfriend have their "roles" as owner...  perfect - yes!!

I cut the back bone image out first at 11.139w & 5.667h.  As you can "edit' on the cricut craft room. I cut the bone  from cardboard.  Next I printed the entire image again and cut off the larger bone image - to give it a layer look.  The image was cut on Imagine Vinyl at normal cuts and speeds.  It gave it a different look vs CS paper. 

I inked around the edges with Chocolate ink pad from ctmh.

On the back I glued down a hanger hook so they can hang it up.

 Added a pearl colored bling to her collar.  (I am sorry i don't have the name, but I do believe they are in Erica's store)

the "man" dog has Tim Holtz  distress antique bronze stickles  on his collar and a blue large pearl like bling as well.
 You can order this adorable imagine cartridge Word Of Mouth from Erica's store at http://www.shop.ericascraftroom.com/    Remember IF you have an E2 you can too order this - then create your own colors...

 NEXT CARD.....
  I loved making this teacher card.. it was fun to be creative other than a diploma on..  Of course he gave it to her already...
Imagine cartridge Notebook Doodles is so MUCH fun as I could print out paper.. like here for the lined paper.
Imagine Cartridge The Good Old Days has created this student.. cut out at 2.078 w/h

Pink By Design has a perfect Stamp set called OUR TEACHERS. In which is all the sentiments used here.   Stamped in grey and purple which is 2 of the school colors.

Don't you just love the measuring tape - it is through 7 Gypsies.. I have had this forever and is perfect for so many projects.

Jayden wrote his name and then wanted his name on his "desk" here as he did in class.

Please head on over to Erica's HERE at My Cricut Craft Room to be inspired by my fellow Dt sisters.. for more Imagine projects OR the Letter Y. (they pick a cartridge that starts with Y OR an item that starts with Y)

17 May -THEME cartridge... KATE's ABC's - name tag

 I hope you have come from Erica's blog first but IF not, please head back over there at mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com and follow my Design team Sisters in their creativity for either their theme cartridge or today's other choice of Wedding.. something New.        

    Erica has decided today, we could pick our own THEME cartridge for today...  decisions.. decisions.. so many good ones to pick.. So I have chosen;

Kate's ABC's
  I made Name badges for a church women's brunch that we had for Mother's Day called Blossoms & Bonnets.

Cutting out at 2 inches from this adorable bonnet.  On the ribbon part I used so many colors from either Stickles or Liquid pearls. to coordinate with the color of the hat.

The top part of the brim of the hat I embossed using so many of the Paper lace 2 and other flowery   embossing plates. I then lightly colored with a coordinating color.

I used a flower from Prima Flowers and then dotted  in the middle a coordinating color from stickles or Liquid Pearls.

Magnets are on the back so that they could wear them after they put their name on them.

I made 52 bonnets in all - so many colors and after a while I got a little crazy with colors!  it was FUN!!  here in this pic they were drying!

IN PIECES...

It just goes to show the versatility of these awesome cartridges in the many uses they can provide for your creativity!!

Please head back here at...  mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com to be more inspired by my DT sisters!

**Nursery Rhymes Imagine cartridge is also using the very pretty die cut image of the mushroom with the butterfly and dragon fly from page 11 cut out at    as well as the sentiment cut Scatter Kindness using the blue color from Nursery Rhymes.

The image from the flower image is able to cut additional flowers to make it a little 3d, but I choose to keep it off.

NEVER to early to start on Christmas cards and intend on making a few each month..  I am searching out Imagine cartridges with Images to make Christmas cards for this month.

The Good Old Days Imagine cartridge-  when I first saw this Image - my first thought was.. BEAUTIFUL!   just the images of the children and different sentiments popped into mind.

**Cut out at 3.5 - how simple and easy is this....    I picked some light weight velvet material in my scrap box and tore the bottom.  it just screamed Christmas!
**I used Diamond Stickles to enhance the stars and the images in the tree that I saw as lights.
**Stamp set used is from Close to My Heart - D1388 card Chatter - Christmas. 
** gold cord from ctmh is used on the side of the card
