Cooking With Cricut #42

Happy Wednesday! Are you ready for the start of a new challenge over at Cooking With Cricut? The challenge this week is to use your pens -- Cricut Color markers, Amy Chomas or Cri-Kits pens. If you don't have any of these to work with, it's ok just include a sun die cut of some sort in or on your project instead.

Here is what I came up with:



I don't have any of the pens so I just made sure I had a sun on my project somewhere. I used Simply Charmed to cut my sun out at 2.5"

Tacky Tuesday's Challenge #8

Happy Tuesday! Today marks the beginning of another great challenge over at Tacky Tuesdays! For the challenge this month, you need to use a "cool treat" die cut and the word "sweet" must be used in your sentiment. A cool treat is an ice cream, popsicle, sundae, etc. Here is what I came up with:



All in all, I'm pretty pleased with how my card came out and I think that ice cream cone from doodlecharms is still one of my favorite cuts. My ice cream cone was cut from DoodleCharms at 3.75". For the cone, I just placed it on my scoreboard and scored some lines to give it the look of a real cone. The ice cream was embossed using the D'vine swirls cuttlebug folder and the background was embossed using the Swiss Dots cuttlebug embossing folder. The crinkle ribbon was made for me by my very good friend Kimberly.

Here are the rules to play in this Tacky Tuesday's challenge:

1. Use the cut specified
2. Use the word specified in your sentiment
3. Link to the Tacky Tuesday's Facebook Page before 7/19/2011

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.
