Castle Box Card

June 2, 2014 2 Comments

Hi all,

Today I made a Castle Box Card for my granddaughter’s birthday.  The file is from SVGCuts.  You can find it at SVGCuts.com.  It was fairly easy to put together.  I cut all the pieces with my Cameo.

I also added vellum behind the windows and door.  The jewels and little flowers were from my stash.  I often cut out extra little pieces to keep on hand.  I am also making her a My Little Pony Rainbow Dash shirt (her favorite pony)  and will share that later.   Castle front2014-06-02 19.30.06

Decoration/Card Using Happy Hauntings and Fantabulous Cricut Challenge 182

October 16, 2013 5 Comments

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

October 4, 2013 Leave a Comment

2013-10-03 17.14.52Hi all,

Today I made these cute Halloween barrettes and pumpkin bag for my little grand daughters.  I used the Cricut Tags, Bags, Boxes and More 2 for the pumpkin bag.  I made the hair clips using the Clever Barrette Covers dies  from PTI. The flowers were made with a Sizzix die .  I had a lot of fun making these and know my grand daughters will love them.

I am entering these into the decorate to celebrate challenge #61 Witch’s Brew. You can follow their blog at http://decoratetocelebrate.blogspot.com/     Their design team offers loads of great ideas for making fun projects to add to parties or home decor.

Hi,

I made this fall card for Operation Write Home VCMP challenge #7.  We were to make a card with a fall theme with an I Love You, Miss You or Thinking About You sentiment.  I actually made two versions with different papers.  The papers were from a pad I bought last year at Michaels.  I used the  cut and print feature on my silhouette for the cute little bear from KaDoodle Bug Designs.  I embossed using the pinking folder from Cuttlebug.  I plan on making a few of these to add to my box of cards for OWH.
