Cartridge Toss-Up with Lacy Lables project #2

Happy Thursday! Today marks the 2nd project in the Lacy Labels cartridge exploration with me and Kimberly. I really couldn't decide what to do for my 2nd project. This cartridge has so many pretty shapes. As soon as I saw this shape though, the first thing that came to my mind was how it resembled a bookmarker. I love to read, so I went for it and made myself another bookmark to add to my growing collection. :)



I cut out my shape using the congrats image at 2.5". The font I used was from A Child's Year at 1". Thanks so much for looking at my blog today! Don't forget to stop by Kimberly's blog for more Lacy Labels inspiration! Have a great crafty day!

Cartridge Toss-Up with Lacy Labels

Happy Tuesday! Today marks a new week of exploring cartridges for me and Kimberly. This week we are both exploring the Cricut Lite Lacy Labels cartridge. I decided to make a Mother's Day card for my mom for my first project.



I love it! I think it came out so pretty and I am sure my mom will love it. That's the most important thing. I cut out the Flower1 image and all it's layers at 3". I then used Storybook for my font and cut out my letters to spell out MOM at 1". I then used some pink ribbon roses from Offray to give it a little bit more dimension. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and looking at my latest creation! Don't forget to stop by Kimberly's blog for even more Lacy Labels inspiration. I hope you have a great crafty day!

Cartridge Toss-Up with Tags, Bags, Boxes and More

Happy Thursday! Today I will be showing you what I came up with for my second project in my exploration of Tags, Bags, Boxes and More. I decided to make the Triangle box.






I cut out the box at 5" and did some faux stitching all the way around the box and then I assembled it. For my clover, I welded 3 hearts and the letter "J" from George and Basic Shapes together. Super cute! Don't forget to stop by Kimberly's blog to see the awesome project she created!

Cartridge Toss-Up with Tags, Bags, Boxes and More

Happy Monday! I know I normally post the Cartridge Toss-Up on Tuesdays but I have a rather busy blog week this week so I will be posting it today. My very good friend Kimberly from Kimberly's Crafty Spot has agreed to help me out with these projects every week. So, from now on instead of seeing just 2 projects a week from one cartridge, you will get to see 4! 2 from me and 2 from Kimberly. How cool is that? She is super talented so you will not be disappointed.

This week, Kimberly and I are focusing on the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cricut cartridge. I was so happy that I was able to get the free download of this cartridge through the gypsy promotion.

The cut I chose to work with for todays project is purse1.



I loaded the purse onto my gypsy and sized it at 9.25". After it was cut out, I did some faux stiching and assembled it. I then used a flower cut from Graphically Speaking at 2.5" and attached it to the front of the purse with some foam adhesive. I then added a little bow to the handle and a little rhinestone to the center of the flower and Voila! So cute! What a cute little gift to give to someone filled with some candy! I love having little projects like this on hand and at the ready. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today and taking a look at my latest creation! Don't forget to stop by Kimberly's blog to see what she came up with. :)

Cartridge Toss-Up with Straight From The Nest part 2

Happy Thursday! So sorry for posting this so late. I have been having a slow kinda day around here. :)

For today's card, I wanted to make a simple but elegant card to have on hand for whatever occasion. Whether it be a birthday, thank you or just because. I was inspired by some little die-cut note cards in the SU idea book, and decided to see if I could make my own. Here is my card:




I took two rectangles from George and welded them together in my gypsy for my card base. I then took the medallion and sized it at 3" and welded that into the front of my card. Voila! Easy Peasy! I cut it out with my cricut and lined the inside of the card with some Pink Pirouette cardstock, added a scallop trim, a bow and a little rhinestone to the center and my card was complete. Quick and easy but so pretty at the same time. Gotta love that! Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by my blog today. I hope you have a great crafty day!



Supplies:
Gypsy
Cricut--George and Basic Shapes & Straight From The Nest
Cardstock--White (PTI) & Pink Pirouette (SU!)

Cartridge Toss-Up with Straight From The Nest

Hello and happy Tuesday to you all! I hope you all had a great Valentine's Day filled with lots of love and chocolate! :)

This week I will be exploring the cartridge, "Straight From The Nest". I was so happy when I pulled this cartridge out of my jar cause it has so many cute images and cool functions and I really don't use it as much as I should.

I decided to make a card using the border function. I cut the Flowerpot border out at 3" and the card just kinda took shape from there.



Pretty simple, but I am so happy with it. Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by my blog and take a look at my latest creation! Have a great crafty day!


Supplies:
Cricut--Straight From The Nest (flowerpot border cut at 3")
Cuttlebug--Swiss Dots Embossing Folder
Card Stock--Kraft (SU!), Rich Razzleberry (SU!), White (PTI)
Punch--Corner Rounder (EK Success)
Misc.--Sakura White Gelly Roll Pen, Rich Razzleberry ribbon (SU!)

Cartridge Toss-Up with Tie the Knot

Happy Tuesday! I am going to try something new. Sometimes it is so hard for me to keep up with all the images on all my cricut cartridges, and I forget what they all have on them. I get into the habit of having a favorite and that seems to be the "go to" cartridge for me. I have also noticed that some of my cartridges haven't even been used. Yikes! So, I decided to explore each one of my cartridges each week. I made this little jar and put the names of each one of my cartridges in it. Each week, I will pick out a new cartridge and make at least 2 projects with it. It will start each Tuesday with the first project and wrap up on Thursday or Friday with the last project.




The first cartridge picked is Tie The Knot. This is one of the cartridges that I have never ever used. This was my first time using it. :) I had so much fun making today's project and I can see this cartridge for many projects, not just wedding themed.

I decided to make the Bride box and the Groom box for my first project.



Aren't these the cutest little boxes ever? Not only would they be perfect for a wedding, but how cute would the bride box be for a sweet sixteen party? Or both of them for a prom party?





I kept them pretty simple and they took minutes to make. They were so easy to do. I added some ribbon on the bride box to hold it closed and added some hot pink rhinestones to the tux for the shirt buttons. The Bride box was cut at 11.5" and the Grrom box was cut at 10.25" Thanks so much for stopping in and taking a look. Have a great crafty day!
