Cobra!!!

2010-10-31T22:08:00.000-05:00

New Vinyl I made for my hubby's car...

used my Make the Cut software and Cricut to cut the image and made a white shadow layer to make it stand out... hubby loves it!

Customer Vinyl- The Pink Thimble

2010-10-14T23:15:00.000-05:00

The Pink Thimble logo vinyl cut with my Cricut, used Make the Cut program to design the cuts.
The font is Harrington TTF. The "Pink" is two layer with pink on top and the thimble has silver on the top and bottom (can't really see the colors in the pic).

Birthday card for 99 year old

2010-09-14T00:06:00.000-05:00

a card I did for a 99 year old...

I used the Cuttlebug Script texture embossing folder on the background and inked the white cardstock with Staz-on ink in Azure blue. The yellow paper has Swiss Dots Cuttlebug embossing folder for some added texture. The candles are the Cuttlebug Birthday Wishes embossing folder. I used three different colors of Stickles for the candles- Christmas Red, Orange Peel and Yellow. The metal sentiment is from Joanns.

Submarine vinyl, It's a Boy card and a Quilt!

2010-08-23T20:54:00.000-05:00

Just a whole crafty kind of week this week with a few projects to show...

First up are the US Navy Submarine Dolphins that I made for my Dad who is a retired Navy captain...

found the graphic online and just imported it to Make the Cut and cleaned it up a bit. I think if I cut it again I will work on making it a little more solid- all those scales were a PAIN!

Next up is a baby boy card for a baby shower of a friend...

Love this card for its simplicity. I used a ready made card from Joann's and embossed it with my Swiss Dots CB folder. The wording is from a We R Memory Keepers "Foil Glitter Flock" baby boy set- I used the brown flock for the rub on. There are blue adhesive gems on the circle of words as well.

Last, but not least, is a quilt I made for my best friend with fabrics she sent me from Australia.

It is a small quilt but it is the first one I actually quilted myself on my regular Bernina sewing machine. It took me forever to do (sorry S!!!) but I am so glad it is done now! :)

Soldier card and Monogram card with gift card holder...

2010-08-07T00:18:00.000-05:00

Soldier card- simple cuts of 2 x 3 1/2" and increasing by 1/4 " for each blue and red layers, then by a 1/2" for the yellow. A2 size- used a ready made white cardstock card for the base.

Cursive 101 cartridge for the letters and Ashlyn's Alphabet frame (Icon: J), yellow Stickles on the frame and Diamond Glaze on the top letter layers. First time I had used the Diamond Glaze- I think I like the shine and smoothness it gives...just a pain to get the air bubbles out! Not so sure about the frame and it's asymmetry- I like my symmetry, dang it! But I decided to let the bit of whimsy stay there...

This was a fairly large card for me- nearly 5 x 7.

Just a little gift card holder to go in the above card.

My car vinyl and 3 new cards!

2010-07-31T01:19:00.000-05:00

The angle of this pic and the window makes it look like the wording is crooked, but it isn't! I really liked the process of finding the right font and graphic for this- let me know if you see me on the road! :)

made this one with K & Company stickers and that stamp again... lol, have I told you how much I like that stamp? used Martha's Double Loop Punch around the Page set for the border.

Sesame Street Font cartridge used on this one, I love this little guy!

Quick and simple card, just cut the papers to fit and used the Cuttlebug Divine Swirl embossing folder.

Birthdays

2010-07-19T23:42:00.000-05:00

I love this stamp set! It is the dragonfly from Mindscapes by Inkadinkado clear stamps. I used Perfect Medium and silver embossing powder. Rhinestones along the edge of the ribbon add a little extra sparkle.

I used the Hero Arts G211 Large Happy Birthday rubber stamp in black ink. Stampin' Up Ticket corner punch on the corners of the green and yellow cardstock. Stamped dragonflies with Perfect Medium and used clear sparkle and light blue embossing powder (did each color seperately to avoid mixing colors).

Hero Arts birthday stamp again as well as Stampin' Up corner punch. I used Terrifically Tacky Tape to adhere the clear glass microbeads for the frame. Rhinestones in the corners.

Butterflies and Medallion card

2010-07-03T22:33:00.002-05:00

Medallion stamped with Perfect Medium and then used Ranger Super fine detail Gold embossing powder to emboss. Cuttlebug Textile embossing folder on green. (did two views here to show stamp detail and the shine of the embossing powder!)

Stamped Inkadinkado butterfly images with Perfect Medium and then embossed with Stampendous Sterling Silver embossing powder. Used pop dots under the large lavender square for dimension. Cuttlebug Divine Swirl embossing folder on card.

Father's Day, Birthdays and Thank you's...

2010-06-27T11:30:00.004-05:00

the Father's Day card I made for my husband. Do you know how hard it is to get a one year old to do a handprint?? This was actually the first try so I didn't push it! I used a baby safe ink and hand cut a heart and attached it with a pop-dot.

Made this card for my dad. I used a sepia ink pad for the background- Stampabilities "Paisley Background 02", Sandylion Essentials Owl stickers, and hand cut a branch from a paint sample chip.

birthday card for a Tinkerbell themed birthday party... embellished my cuttlebugged cardstock by sanding and added rhinestones/crystals and used Magenta stickles. The butterflies are stickers I found years ago...

Birthday card for my MIL- used the new Martha Stewart Double Loop Punch around the Page set, K&Company 3-D floral stickers and Hero Arts G211 Large Happy Birthday stamp

more K&Company 3-D floral stickers, MS Double Loops and Thank You stamp- not sure of the brand since I unmounted the rubber from the wood block...

5 1/2 x 5 1/2 card, Hero Arts K4890 CardArt Thank You Flourish stamp, used Black Diamond Stickles on dots and nipped the corners of the card with a Fiskars corner round punch

very simple birthday card! used the Joann's metal birthday sticker, Terrifically Tacky Tape with the microglass beads... I love those beads!

Thanks! used the cuttlebug A2 Combo set-With Gratitude for the Thanks, 1/4" Terrifically Tacky Tape and glass microbeads...

Cuttlebug A2 Combo set- With Gratitude for words, background cardstock Cuttlebug Floral Fantasy embossing folder- sanded

oh so busy... where does the time go???

2010-06-19T23:39:00.009-05:00

Invitation for our daughter's first birthday party

used A Child's Year cupcake cut at 3" and cuttlebug embossing folder "Divine Swirl" for icing. Lavender, dark purple, pearl pale yellow and metallic pink cardstock used.

"Cars" card

used stickers for the car and emblem and cut black cardstock for the road

Mod cupcake

used the Cricut cupcake from A Child's Year cartridge cut at 3" and threaded a piece of black and white paper through the slits in the cupcake, Lime green and metallic pink cardstock

Textile black card

used Core'dinations cardstock with cuttlebug Textile folder then sanded to the core color, used cuttlebug tag die cut for sentiment threaded with a ribbon.

World's most basic thank you card!

just a basic 'thank you' sentiment on white cardstock... can't get more simple than that!

I just want to thank you for being patient with me while we transition into our new home! I am working on some things that will allow me to be more creative and start posting more often... Thanks for sticking with me and hope to be seeing more of you soon!

new card!

2009-04-15T22:49:00.003-05:00

Cuttlebugged the white and layered the torn pieces on top after matching up the embossing... Used Stickles on the words and added rhinestones.

Revised card...

2009-03-31T01:38:00.004-05:00

okay, so I couldn't let that boring card go out like it was so I added a little something...Hope it helped improve it!

I used the cowboy hat from the Pooh and Friends cartridge, shaded it with distress ink and used the Distress Stickles on the hat band.

Two cards... anybody care to comment?

2009-03-30T02:33:00.005-05:00

I'll take any comments, good or bad, at this point! I see that people visit but no one comments on my cards... can you please comment if you like them or even if you have any suggestions for improvements? I'm always open to constructive criticism!

used the Fiskars rope border punch, Cosmic Copper Brilliance ink on dark green paper, Wild Card Cricut cartridge for sentiment... (still not sure if I like this card... the person likes 'western' things so I tried to go with more muted colors...)

used paint samples for the blue and green 'paper', stamped image with Timber Brown Staz-on ink and colored in with Prismacolor pencils, used new EK Success scalloped scallop border punch on blue Inkadinkado sentiment stamp

Anniversary card

2009-03-25T20:03:00.004-05:00

lots of cat drama... a few cards...

2009-03-09T02:01:00.005-05:00

** warning to cat owners: sewing thread can be hazardous to kitty digestive systems and your wallet!!**
Jett 3 days after surgery...

long story short- my cat, Jett, ate some sewing thread and ended up having to have 18 inches of intestines removed on Feb 13th. So now his belly (and neck and arm for bloodwork/IV) is all shaved and he has a good 3-4 inch scar on it... He is still having trouble recovering so all prayers are appreciated! He has lost at least 3 pounds in the past month!

Here are some cards for your patience!

St. Patty's day Birthday card- used Paper Doll Dress Up cart for Shamrock, Doodletype for Happy Birthday, argyle cuttlebug and sanding on green paper, new EK success edge punch on blue paper

Masculine birthday card- used Beyond Birthdays for sentiment, George for ovals, mesh cuttlebug folder with black magic paper sanded/torn edge for background, hand cut envelope

Pansy birthday card: used Storybook for scalloped ovals, swiss dots cuttlebug folder for purple oval, real dried pansies beneath vellum oval.

Flower birthday card

2009-01-31T02:35:00.003-06:00

I used the Tinkerbell Cricut cart for this one! This is cut at 4 inches. I stickled the flowers with Fruit Punch, Cotton Candy and Ruby Slippers. I also used the Basic Grey 'Eva' paper pack and an Inkadinkado stamp.

yeesh... over a month of no posting!! New card!

2009-01-27T01:18:00.003-06:00

Here is a new card for your patience...

The little birdie and the branch are from Home Decor cartridge...
also used lavender stickles and Basic Grey "Eva" paper pack.

Christmas cards!

2008-12-21T22:55:00.006-06:00

This one is by far my favorite... I only made two (from a class kit) but I saved one so I might be able to make more when I have more time... I love it because you can rotate the disk to give the snowman new hats!

not one for the 'non-traditional' Christmas color cards, but I'm a sucker for purple!

Merry Christmas from Sophie and I!

This is from the first round of snow this weekend...

sorry for the lack of posting!!! Thanksgiving cards...

2008-11-24T13:56:00.004-06:00

Here are some of my Thanksgiving cards this year...

The majority of the cards I made were these two... (above and below)

I used a leaf paper from Michael's and stamped and embossed the gold leaves onto it...

The sentiment is an Inkadinkado stamp.

What we woke up to this morning and some quick Halloween cards

2008-10-29T12:47:00.004-05:00

for our new nephew

new patio stone, ceramic

Look what I made!

2008-08-04T22:48:00.003-05:00

Hubby's family had a VHS tape of old 8mm home movies that my dad copied to DVD for me to copy... So I made the copies and rather than "just write on them" like hubby said, I decided they needed labels and sleeves at least! The pic of the hibiscus is from my mother-in-law's garden and I made the sleeve on my Cricut with the help of Design Studio- I made it from scratch! I am so proud of myself! :)
Now if I can only get the help of someone to be able to post the .cut files on here so I can share them!!

Tutorial on how to post pictures from Flickr into the Cricut message board

2008-06-26T23:52:00.000-05:00

Ok, at Sir_Craftalot (aka Ted)'s suggestion I am going to post how to get the link code from photos on your Flickr account to be able to post multiple photos into your post on the messageboard... (does that make sense?? eek...i'm terrible at explaining things...) I am a nerd and actually took photos of my computer screen to show you the places to click... here goes

How to upload the code/link from Flickr:

1. when you are on a single photo in your photo stream, look right above it and click on the "all sizes" button

2. reset the size to a smaller size if your photo is really large (i had to reset to medium for these)

3. scroll down beneath the photo and click the link in the "Grab the photo's URL" box

4. Follow the same instructions Ted gave for posting once you get the link!! (at about 1:15 into his tutorial is where you would fall in with this link if that helps)

Here is the link to his post http://www.cricut.com/messageboard/tm.aspx?m=2439587

or the direct link to his website tutorial http://sircraftalot.wordpress.com/2008/06/26/adding-multiple-images-to-a-cricut-message-board-post/

Hope that helps!! Feel free to message me on here or the messageboard or pm me with any questions!!

I cut out the little tombstones on my Cricut using the PPDU cart... then i laminated them...

diversion...

2008-05-25T13:06:00.000-05:00

Apparently my car (new 2008 Toyota Highlander) is appealing to small and furry animals- namely the chipmunk variety... I started having birdseed fall out from under my glove box... upon further investigating (including witnessing "Chippy" scamper up under the vehicle) we ripped out the glove box and found quite the stash of birdseed and leaves in above the air filter for the air conditioner...

we vacuumed most of this out and then pulled out the air filter itself...

this is only about half of it I think, the rest went into the vac...

New baby card

2008-05-24T01:11:00.001-05:00

embossed it on distressed paper

Jett and Haile love to cuddle up in the bed in the recliner... Don't they just look like they are content?
