Missing You Card for OWH

Hi all,

Today I made a missing you card for OWH.  The image is a print and cut from the Silhouette on line store.  The sentiment is  a stamp I purchased at Michael’s.  l have several different  missing you cards that I made and plan to include  in my box  of cards to OWH.    This card is a combination of Cameo and Cricut cuts.  I used my Cameo for the print and cut and my Cricut Expression and Elegant Edges for the mat.missing you dog20140815_100231

I am also entering this card in Pause Dream Enjoy’s Linky party.

Shaped Birthday Card

Hi all,

Today I made a shaped birthday card using LD Birthday Fishes file.  I brought the image of the Octopus to the Cameo mat.  Then I made 2 offsets to get the layers for the image  to sit on.  I duplicated the image and moved to the side.  Then I created a box for the image to be welded to.  Once that was done, I mirrored the image to the left and welded the two shapes to form the card.  I used the cut and print feature to create the water with the sentiment.  I  separated the duplicated image ( saved from above) and cut each layer out. I then cut all the layers out and assembled the card.  I was able to match the colors for the layers by using the eyedropper and color bucket in the silhouette.

Operation Write Home Midweek Throwdown: Masculine Card / Any Theme

Hi all,

Operation Write Home’s  Challenge for it Midweek Throwdown is Masculine Cards any theme.  They are in need of some missing you cards.  I decided to use this SVGCutting files image for my card.  I love the SVG Cutting files images.  They are very easy to assemble. I used the cut and print feature on my Cameo to make the sentiment.     I made several of these cards to add to my box of cards for the troops.

Operation Write Home is a non-profit organization that sends handmade blank cards to the troops so they can write home to their love ones.

Hi all,

Today I made an Easter Box in a Card for my grandchildren.  I used my Cameo and a file from the silhouette on-line store by Lori Whitlock for the base of the card.  The card is an A2 size when folded .  The cute Easter images  and paperEaster box in a card are from an LD file I purchased.                                                                                                         I cut  the images at approximately 2 inches using the print and cut feature. I also added another insert to the box so I could use more images.                                                                                  Easter box in a cardI am entering this into Cardz TV Card Challenge # 5  Create a card for Easter.

Disney Box in a Card

Hi all.

20140219_180148 20140219_180200 20140219_180234 20140219_180255Today I made my first Box in a Card.  I used the Disney Mickey and Friends Cricut Cart.  I followed the design that Cara Miller posted for the box on her Let’s Learn Cricut Facebook page.  It is a closed group but if you are interested let me know so I can get you added. She provided the CCR file for the box and I was able to figure out the size of the images I wanted to add.  I cut most of the images at 2.5 inches. When it is closed it folds flat so you can put it in an envelope.  It was a lot of work but I made it for my grandson’s first birthday next week and he is worth all the effort!

I am also going to enter this in CARDZTV   3d birthday challenge.  I hope you all have a great day.

Decoration/Card Using Happy Hauntings and Fantabulous Cricut Challenge 182

Hi all,

I originally intended this project to be a card but after it was completed I decided to keep it as a table decoration.  It looks so cute on my kitchen shelf.  I was inspired to create this project by Fantabulous Cricut Challenge blog.  They asked us to Create a project using Black & Purple as your main colors.   I used the cricut Happy Hauntings cartridge and cut the witch at 4 inches with all her layers.  I made a step card and attached her, the title and the ghost from the same cartridge to the first and top steps.  I added google eyes and embossed the broom with the swirls folder and my cuttlebug. The paper is from a Halloween pack I purchased at Michaels last year.2013-10-16 10.17.052013-10-16 10.18.03

2013-10-10 16.23.30Hi all,

This week we were challenged to use an element of nature on our cards for our heroes to send home to their love ones.  I used the snowmen from Dollar Graphics Depot file called Frosty Long Stocking.  I think the images and their sentiments are adorable.  The scallop frame is from the Elegant Edges Cricut cartridge. I love this cartridge. It has some really nice shapes.
