It's Football Season!

 Hi everyone and happy happy Monday!

Today starts a new challenge over at the Bitten By The Bug 2 Challenge Blog!

The theme for this challenge is...

🏓 SPORTS ⚽

Let's see some Cricut Sports inspired projects!

*Your project must include a cut made with your Cricut machine on it somewhere*

Here is a look at the project that I created to share with you today:

I'm not much of a football fan but my hubby sure is so I thought it would be fun to make him a little box filled with some snacks to eat while he watches a game.

I started by cutting a popcorn box from Tags, Bags, Boxes & More from some green cardstock and inked along all the edges before assembling it. I cut a football from the Life's A Party cartridge and popped it up with some foam tape. I added my saying that I found in Design Space above the Football and finished the look with some white and brown Nuvo drops. I added some white crinkle paper and some of his favorite snacks and called it good! So easy peasy but he will love it!!

Greetings Earthling!

Hi everyone!

Happy Saturday!

I hope your weekend is off to a great start and you have a lot of fun things planned!

Today I get to show you a fun little card using those awesome

 Action Wobbles!

I decided to make a cute little alien card to send to someone just for fun.

Hopefully it will brighten their day!

I cut my Alien in the spaceship out using my Cricut Expression 2 and the Life's A Party cartridge. He is cut out at 3". For my greeting, I just typed it out using word and then printed it out onto some white cardstock. I trimmed it down and adhered it to my card. 

I then popped him up using an Action Wobble!

He is ready to take flight:

And here he comes to say hi!

Action Wobbles bring so much fun to all your projects!

Wishing You A Bright and Happy Day Backpack

Hi there and Happy Tuesday!

This week the Joy's Life Design Team has been showing you some Back To School projects that showcase those fabulous Joy's Life Stamps.

I decided to make a little backpack filled with some kisses.

I cut my backpack out of the Life's A Party Cricut Cartridge at 8". I added some faux stitching to the front and added a little flower to the top of my backpack.

Here is a side view to show the straps on the backpack

I thought this sentiment from the Tag You're It Set One was perfect to wish someone a great first day of school:

A Surprise Is In Store For You

Hi Everyone!

I hope you are all having a great weekend so far :)

This week the Joy's Life Design Team is showing you 3D projects that incorporate those awesome Joy's Life stamps.

I decided to make a cute little store front box with a muffin inside for gift giving.

Here is the front view:

The side:

The back:

I used my Sweet Tooth Boxes cricut cartridge to cut out my store. It was cut out at 10". I added some cute little pearl flowers and my windows have some clear cardstock attached to the inside of the box so that nothing falls out. My cupcake holder, or in this case, my muffin holder was cut from the Life's A Party cricut cartridge at 2.25". Sadly, the muffins that I attempted to make did not come out pretty enough for a picture so I cheated a little and bought a muffin haha! Baking and I don't get along very well unless it is cookies ;)

For my store front sign, I decided to use this cute little stamp from the Tag You're It Set One set from Joy's Life:

Super cute!

Ahoy Matey!

Hi to all my crafty friends! Today I would like to share with you a card I made for the Jan. Card challenge over at scrapbook.com as well as the challenge at Fantabulous Cricut (Man Time).




I used the faux leather technique on my card. You can find the tutorial on how to do this technique HERE. I always have the hardest time making masculine cards, this technique works really well for creating a masculine card. I used the Life's A Party cricut cartridge to cut out my treasure map. I cut it out at 2.5". The inside of the card reads, "Aye hope you have a great birthday, Matey". The stamp on the front of my card as well as the one inside came from the Joy's Life You're So Punny stamp set.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by my blog today and taking a look at my latest creation! I really appreciate it! I hope you have a great crafty day!

Cooking With Cricut #50

Happy Wednesday! Are you guys ready for another great challenge at Cooking With Cricut? This week is all about school. With most kids back in school now, we want to see those back to school projects.

Here is what I created:



and here is a side view:



I created a little back pack filled with a few bite size candy bars. The backpack came from the Life's A Party cricut cartridge. I cut it out at 8". Then I added some faux stitching and a sticker that I put on some white cardstock and then hand cut out so I could pop it up with some foam adhesive. For my straps and my bow, I used a pair of new shoe strings instead of ribbon.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today and taking a look at my latest creation. I hope you will join us at Cooking With Cricut. We would love to see what you make.
