Scrappy Moms January Release: Project 3

Happy Tuesday!

Today I have another card to show you that features one of the new sets from 

Scrappy Moms Stamps!

For my card, I used my Cricut and cut out the card base as well as the banner with the bird out of the Birthday Bash cartridge. I added a cute little face from Peachy Keen to my little birdie :) My background layer is actually a white piece of cardstock that I embossed with a cloud embossing folder and then inked over the entire thing with some Bermuda Bay ink. I stamped my greeting from the For The Birds set from Scrappy Moms onto a stitched oval and popped it up with some foam adhesive. 

Here is a look at the For The Birds stamp set:

In case you missed it, here is the other set that was released this past Friday titled

Here is the BOO project I made!!

I absolutely love Halloween so

I decided to make a "BOO" banner for my mantle.

I cut my banner pieces out of the Birthday Bash Cricut cart at 5".

The letters came from the Cricut Alphabet and were cut out at 3".

I cut Frankie and his beautiful wife out of the Happy Hauntings Cricut cart at 4" each.

The bats are from the bitty bat punch from SU!

I connected my banner by threading black tulle all the way through and then securing it with some cute purple ribbon with green polka dots on it.

It was so simple to make but I love it!

Frankie has some black enamel accents on his scar and hair to give him a little bit more interest.

It's hard to tell from the picture, but Frankie's bride has some Dazzling Details glitter glue for her white streak in her hair.

Happy Tuesday!

Today starts another fun challenge over at the Krafty Girls Blog!

This week is Mission Impossible: Create a paper craft that someone helped you create by embossing, designing, cutting, or doing anything that helps you finish your project.

I had a lot of fun with this project. I had my daughter help me with it. She picked the cricut cartridge that I had to use for my main image for my starting point. Then I designed the card. After I was done designing and adhering everything down, she came in and put on all the finishing touches. She added the googly eyes, glossy accents and all the doodling.

We had a great time! What a fun way to spend time with your family or friends, and work on a challenge at the same time! I hope you will head over to Krafty Girls and play along with us! I would love to see what you create and I'm sure you will have just as much fun as my daughter and I did!

I hope you have a great crafty day!

Happy Graduation!

Happy Friday!

Today I get to show you a fun little project using those fabulous Joy's Life Stamps!

This week the design team is showcasing projects that center around graduation. My "baby" is graduating from high school this year so this project was bittersweet for me. I'm so proud of him but I also wish I could turn back the clock and make him little again.

I decided to make a banner for his graduation party.

I cut all my banner pieces out of the Birthday Bash Cricut cartridge at 5.5" each.

The font came from the Pooh Font Set Cricut cartridge. I cut each letter with it's shadow at 3.5"

On each of the ends, I decided to put little grad caps on action wobbles

The caps came from the Locker Talk Cricut cartridge and were cut out at 2.5".

For the middle, I just used some dimensional fabric stickers from Jolee's Boutique

Underneath each of the grad caps on each end, I stamped the sentiment "Happy Graduation" from the Everyday Occasion stamp set from Joy's Life

Thanks for stopping by my blog today and looking at my latest creation! I really appreciate it! Don't forget to stop by the Joy's Life Design Team blog for some great inspiration for all your graduation projects!

I hope you have a great crafty day!

Love Banner with Trendy Twine

Happy Tuesday! It is going to be another fabulous month featuring awesome Twine from Trendy Twine :)

This month we are showcasing the yummy Strawberry Cupcake twine. This twine is absolutely beautiful and goes so well with all those pink projects that you may be making for Valentines Day, not to mention any other time of the year. Who doesn't love pink right? I decided to make a Valentine's Day banner to hang in my house for the month of February. Here is what I created:



and a couple of close-ups:





I used Birthday Bash Cricut Cartridge for my banner pieces and cut them each out at 6". I then cut out the frames from the Sophisticated Cricut Cartridge at 4.25". My letters are from the Storybook Cartridge and cut out at 2.5" each. Those cute little cupids are from the Sweethearts Cartridge and cut out at 2.25". After I had each piece put together, I ran some tulle through the top openings to connect them. I then threaded some of that yummy Strawberry Cupcake Trendy Twine through some little heart buttons across the top. The doilies are just regular doilies that you can find in the cake section of your craft store.

Birthday Boy!

Hi there and Happy Thursday! It's almost the weekend! WooHoo!!! Any crafting plans for the weekend? I hope to get a lot of projects done since my to-do list isn't getting any shorter. :) Today's card is one that I made last night for the challenge over at Birthday Sundaes. The challenge for this week is to make any New Birthday card with a Birthday Sentiment.
Here is what I made for the challenge:



I love the way this turned out and it was so simple to do! I cut out my card base from the Birthday Bash Cricut cartridge at 5". Then I just made a little mat to go on the front. The bear was cut out at 3" and "BOY" was cut out at 1". Both the bear and the "BOY" were also cut out using Birthday Bash. I added some Glossy Accents to the balloons and to the tires to give them a little shine and then added a little twine bow to my bear. So Cute!

Cricut 360 Challenge #1

Happy Friday!!! Guess what? Today marks the beginning of the very first challenge at Cricut 360! How exciting! We would like to invite you to come play along with us! The first challenge is a great one and I am sure you are going to love it. For the very first challenge, we challenge you to make an invitation of ANY kind. Birthday, wedding, concert, etc. This is what I came up with:



I thought this would be a cute invite to a ice cream social or even a birthday party. For my invitation, I used the Birthday Bash Cricut Cartridge. Using the card/tag function key, I cut out my card and the layers at 6.5". I used the D'Vine Swirls cuttlebug embossing folder for the embossing on my card. I added some glitter, doodling and a little bow. It was so easy to do and I am really pleased with how it turned out.

So are you ready to play along? I really hope you do. There is even a great prize for this week's winner. You can find out all the info at Cricut 360. So head on over to Cricut 360 to see what the rest of the design team came up with as well as entering the challenge. I look forward to seeing what you create!
