10 March Guest Designer St Patricks Day on...

http://creativecraftin.blogspot.com

Today I am a Guest Designer on http://creativecraftin.blogspot.com  I am so excited and I thank Angela     for letting me be a part of her blog and blog hop, in which will be the 17 & 18th March.

So don't forget to come back and hop with us, starting with Angela at creativecraftin.blogspot.com on the 17th March - St Patricks Day Blog Hop..

Even though I am part Irish, have the red hair (or at least used to, now mostly grey)  I just think it's fun to celebrate the GREEN day regardless of your heritage background!!

Starting out with 8 x 10 mat with a 5x7 opening, I used the paper and cut what I wanted to focus on this frame.   I also used the words from the cricut cartridge Word Collage -  St. Patty's Day. Using Imagine Vinyl and the color green from the preset colors on the Cricut Imagine. I just used some of the words within this awesome cartridge.

** The green doily on the corner is from our LLS that I thought was awesome, so no idea who the company is as they opened a package and sold them each. The "LUCKY" is from the Word Collage cartridge cut words.  I used the Gold stickles to outline the clover surrounding LUCKY!

** The paper inside the frame is a sheet of patterned paper from Karen Foster Designs (kiss me I'm Irish collage)   I just cut out what I wanted to focus on.  I used Gold Stickles to highlight the 2 bags of gold as well as the lil Leprachaun buttons on his shirt.

** the buttons are from  simplicity wood group; they are wooden buttons. The top button has gold Stickles inside of it and glued to the bigger button.  The O in gOld has gold stickles too.

** ribbon is from a set of ribbon for St Patty's Day.

this is the vinyl cut-out from the cartridge Word Collage.  It is on Imagine Vinyl.  I didn't set the pressure properly, therefore only pulling a few of the words off of it.

patterned paper used and cut from. Bought at my LSS.

gold stickles enhanced the gold bags and his buttons.

First I share with you WORD COLLAGE:  

 In my laundry room on the wall I have this cute lil sign I created using Red Vinyl and created on my Gypsy and expression.  CUT OUT AT 11.28w X 10.76h.   I have more to add to this BUT am awaiting another cartridge to arrive to complete...


PRINCESS PARTY EVENT cartridge:  I wanted a spin on an event cartridge as in using it mainly for party planning - Here I used it for Home decor in my granddaughters room that they have in our home.


Using the Imagine Vinyl  - I used the blade and cuts at regular speeds and it cut so much nicer to work with. (only do this with the IMAGINE VINYL).

Cut at  5.4in   I hung it on the wall and added a large clear heart rhinestone with glossy essentials.  to show that you can spice up your wall art as well.

I love this font...  actually this word..     Cut out at 6.5 in.

different rhinestones and that adding Stickles to the different areas that are open and around the heart added a little extra Sparkle to this awesome crown.

adding a new product I received from my friend Erica at My Cricut Craft room and so loving these are: LIQUID PEARLS colors: white opal & petal pink    I added to the points of the crown  and then used stickles to the rest of the crown.

here to the flowers I used white opal in middle and petal pink for flower

YES, I know it looks crooked as I see it in the picture BUT I had to wait till everything is dry before moving it around ..again.....     the princesses represent my 3 granddaughters.....  literally I have a redhead age 8, brown hair age 10 and the last princess looks like my youngest grand baby girl who is 3...  I bought these at the Dollar store where everything is 1$

Both  of these images are on 2 separate walls in the room..

ROBOT PARTY event cartridge:

creating a card using a little twist  of cutting the same image out 2x at different sizes.  (keep the cuts not used for another project or a 2nd smaller card).  cut on the Imagine.
1.5 sentiment happy Birthday
4.5 frame (smaller inside frame)
5.5 (outside frame) 
cuttlebug folder from Robotz and inked over with the orange ink pad 
Imagine cartridge for the color of the paper is: Blast Off

outlined using a black marker around the tools.

Please head over to Janet's blog for more creativity!!  


I hope you will leave a comment - I read them all :)  If you take my blinkie to your blog and/or sign up for my e-mails - please let me know and then i will make sure that I take yours to mine as well and sign up too.

16 Jan Letter C brings today the cartridges...

How are you today?? I hope awesome.
I hope you have arrived from http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com  but if not, please head on over there and check out all the awesome projects that my fellow DT friends have created!

LETTER C today is featured using the cartridges Cricut decals and Cricut Imagine Country Carnival
 
Cricut Decals and using the Imagine Vinyl.  colors are from within the Imagine machine pre-set.

This is cut from my Imagine at the FULL PAGE .  I wanted it to be BIG BUT to fit on one page.  here it is!  Cricut Decals is the cutest cartridge ever!!  These are actually 3 cuts from the cartridge!  They eventually will be on my car window!

                          IN MY CRAFT ROOM IS WHERE THESE AWESOME SAYINGS ARE!

                                 I have this awesome saying over my Cricut area! 
I know my wall is plain right now but my room is a MESS and I am in the midst of cleaning it for the blog hop I am in on the 20th Jan.  So I see that the cricut is kinda crooked.. off to fix it.. sorry.

My 2nd project is from the Imagine cartridge Country Carnival. A beautiful cartridge - paper, tag and butterfly all come from this awesome cartridge
** I used CTMH inks  Sorbet, chocolate and cranberry. ** chocolate ctmh paper for the outside
  ** frosted lace stickles for the roses.
** CTMH stamp saying (inside and outside on tag) D1197 My One & Only

*** Can you see the tag in the middle  - cut at 2.8in and then embossed using the rose embossing folder from Once Upon A Princess.. I inked the middle of the roses with sorbet and lightly dabbed with chocolate ink after I lightly sandpapered it. I used the stamp set saying  "I have learned from you, leaned on you and Loved having you in my life and stamped several times on the tag. The same saying is inside as well.   ctmh gold twine is wrapped around it and the pretty butterfly sits among the tag.

** inked around the edge of the pretty paper with sorbet ink.
*** Butterfly cut at 1.5in. ~  Paper (top layer) cut at 6.3 then trimmed to the size desired. ~ tag in middle cut at 2.8

9 Jan LETTER B dt

Have you seen the other awesome inspirational creations from my Design team friends today? no.. you say. Well then head back to  MYCRICUTCRAFTROOM.BLOGSPOT.COM and see more...

Letter B brings today, the cartridge.. Imagine Style...  BLAST OFF and BEST FRIENDS along with using Imagine Vinyl
this is my son, Jayden's door to his room.  He thought this was so cool! they are placed exactly where he says they must be.. (he's Autistic and VERY particular)  I cut them out at 6 in each.  I changed some of the colors of the letters vs the color in the handbook of each color.

THIS is so cool.  changing the background paper and top paper (pink) layer colors and creating from BEST FRIENDS Imagine I will be putting this in a frame as soon as I can get to the store to find a frame to fit.  A present for my soon to be 10yr old granddaughter, Kiana. She is always saying this and when I saw it in the handbook - who could resist!  I created this at FULL PAGE VIEW when I created it.    I hope to have a frame by the time this posting is here...

look at how small the letters are on this mat.  IF I could change one thing about the Imagine.. WASTE OF SPACE -IT HAS!!  Jayden, my 7 yr old insisted on having a door hanger with these words.. "KNOCK BEFORE YOU COME IN"  mainly meant for his 3 yr old sister and 9 yr old girl cousin.    He wants a sign like Kiana's above but boys rule and girls drool - that's another project..  :)

LETTERS CUT AT .5IN AND DOOR HANGER CUT AT 9.5IN

created using BLAST OFF Imagine Cartridge and using Pop-Dots from CTMH.

 Well, I certainly Hope the LETTER B has brought you some inspiration of ideas!
