Tinkerbell Birthday Card

 

I created this A2 size card for my Besties sweet baby girl, Zoe.

She just turned 3 and loves all things Tinkerbell right now.

 

To create this card I used two Cricut Cartridges.

The green base is from Elegant Edges:

Feature Button: Oblong <Shift>, Button 4 and cut at 5.25

Tink is from Disney Classics:

Using all Feature Layer Buttons: She is Button 27 and cut at 4.0

 

I used my  Cricut Imagine RGB feature for the colors of Tinks Skin, Hair, and Wings.

Skin is R: 253 G: 228 B: 200

Hair is R: 255  G: 245  B: 136

Wings are R: 221  G: 243  B: 239

To find these I googled Tinkerbell RGB Codes and came across this great list by

Courtney Lane Designs...click Here for the direct link.

 

The pink cut that Tink is sitting on is from My Creative Times Vintage Stitched Label Die.

The sentiment is also from My Creative Times Many Greetings stamp set.

I will be entering this card into the MCT Designer Challenge...the challenge was to Emboss.

I used my Cuttlebug Swiss Dots Embossing Folder on Tinks wings and I embossed the sentiment too.

 

I finished off my card by adding Black Divine Twine

and the stitched doodles with my White Gel Pen.

 

Here's a side view...I added dimension by pop dotting Tink and the Vintage Label Die.

I really love how it turned out and can't wait to play some more with my Disney Classic Cartridge.

My Cricut Craft Room - Would you Guess Wednesday

Happy Wednesday...that's right we are half way through the week. Wahoo!

Today at My Cricut Craft Room is Would You Ever Guess Wednesday, which means that Erica challenges us designers to only use the Feature buttons on the Cricut Cartridges.  I love creating on this day because I always find cuts that most times get overlooked. 

For today's creation I took Would You Ever Guess Wednesday a step further and used paper from a Christmas stack...now would you have guessed this paper came from a Christmas stack? 

It is from the Echo Park Holly Jolly 6x6 Paper Pad. 

I just love the colors in this collection. 

Also my tip for my alternative to border punches.

I love the look of border punches but

1) I don't want to spend the money on the punches

and 2) I don't have room to store bulky punches

Sooo...using my Gypsy I created my own Border "punch" by selecting the border from

Elegant Edges and welding it to the rectangle from Gypsy Font.

I love the welding feature on the Gypsy.

Elegant Edges has the perfect borders in the Borders feature for this technique.

Cricut cuts:

Straight From the Nest:  Border Feature, Button 33 on the overlay, cut at 1.75

Elegant Edges:  Border Feature, Button 23 on the overlay, cut at .52

Gypsy Font:  Monogram Shadow <Shift>, Button 44, cut at W5.25 x H3.62 (this is a square made into a rectangle with the Gypsy)

To finish my card I added my Ribbon and Divine Twine, doodled around the edges of the card and added my Sentiment which is from Pink By Design: Take the Cake.

My Cricut Craft Room - Scrapbook Friday

Today is Scrapbook Friday at My Cricut Craft Room. 

With the wedding season upon us we were asked to create Layout's with a Wedding Theme.

I am slowly working on my Wedding album and was excited to get to show what I have been working on (to see my other wedding layouts go to my Labels: Scrapbook Pages-Wedding).

These two pages are exchanging the rings and the Vows.

Instead of having a unity candle my Hubby and I decided to do a Love Letter/Wine Box (this is the picture of us screwing a box closed.)  We wrote a love letter to one another and sealed them in a Wine Box with a good bottle of wine.  If we come across issues in our Marriage we are to open this box and read the letters that we wrote to eachother, drink some wine and hopefully remember the reasons we fell in love and committed our lives to one another in the first place.  However, the ultimate goal is to make it to our 25th Wedding Anniversary and open the box together to celebrate our love.  In essence it is kind of like a time capsule.  We are going on our 4th year of marriage and have not even come close to needing to open this box. :)

Cricut Cuts:

Elegant Edges - Button 4, cut at 8.81 x 10.76 (using my Gypsy)

All of my words were cut from Gypsy Font and welded together...there are a variety of measurments.

Here are the pictures again bigger...above I wanted to show them side by side.

Please go to My Cricut Craft Room to see what my wonderful Design Team sisters have created.

My Cricut Craft Room - Card Creating Tuesday

Good Morning Crafters,

Today is Card Creating Tuesday at My Cricut Craft Room. 

Did you know Erica from My Cricut Craft Room also has a Challenge Blog? 

That's right, there is a weekly card challenge that I have really been enjoying entering.

The Challenges are based on a sketch and color combo that she gives. 

My card today is for the Challenge blog.  So my card is based on this sketch below and the color combo we were challenged with are Apple, Blueberry, and Grape (Green, Blue and Purple).

For all of the details and to join in the Challenge please go Here.

I was also inspired by another DT sister for this card.  Last week Deidre posted a card with layers making it feel like a shadow box feel and I just knew that technique would be perfect for this Challenge.  To see her original post with this technique I was inspired by please go Here.

Unfortunately I accidently deleted my Gypsy file so I don't have the sizes of the cuts I used, but I did use quite a few different cartridges for this card.  Elegant Edges (Frame), Create A Critter (Sun), Sweethearts (tree), and Something to Celebrate (Title Banner).  My sentiment is from My Pink Stamper and it says I'm so happy for you.  I thought this would be a fun card to give to a newly engaged couple.

To see what other fabulous creations were made today by my DT Sisers please go to My Cricut Craft Room. I hope you decide to join us in the Challenge!

Thank you for stopping by,

My Cricut Craft Room March 27- April 3, card Sketch Challenge

Today I made this creation as part of My Cricut Craft Room's Challenge blog.

The challenge was to use the below sketch along with Yellow, Green and a color of my choice.

The background cut and butterflies are from Elegant Edges:

Background Cut: From the Overlay - Button 23 <Shift> cut at 5.25 x 4

Butterflies: From the Overlay - Button 37 cut at 1.75 (2 times) and 1.0 (4 times) 

My Die Cut Phrase is from Wild Card.

I placed the phrase on the background cut with my Gypsy and is cut at 5.94.

I put the Green behind the background cut to help my phrase stand out.

  I really love these colors together.

I have really enjoyed joining in these sketch challenges.

Please go to the Erica's Craft Room Challenges and join in the fun.

My Cricut Craft Room - My Imagine-ation Monday

Happy Monday Crafters,

I hope everyone had a great weekend and a chance to craft.  Today is My Imagine-ation Monday at My Cricut Craft Room and this is the card I created using Kate's Kitchen.  **Enabler Alert - I just bought this cartridge from Erica at My Cricut Craft Room.  She recently opened a new webstore and I bought Kate's Kitchen for $19 which is an amazing deal.  This cartridge is now on Erica's webstore for $12...Can you believe it?  Here is the link to the webstore http://www.shop.ericascraftroom.com/ . 

You should definitely check it out.

Today I created an A2 size card (5.5 x 4.25).  The red mat was cut at 4 x 5.25 and ran through the cuddlebug.  The Cricut Cuts from Kate's Kitchen are as follows:  I love these little cherries from page 20.  I chose the combined image and cut at 4".  Then I chose the layer feature and selected the cherries on the stem (cut at Rel 4") to pop dot on the combined image.  I also selected the two cherries twice for a total of 4 cherry faces (cut at Rel 2.7").  My last cut on the front of the card is a border from Elegant Edges (Border feature, button 11 on overlay, cut at 1.2") and I flood filled with the Cherry pattern on page 40.  My last cut can be found on page 26 (cut at Rel 5") and is on the inside of my card.

Supplies:

Paper:  Bazzill Cardstock (White), The Paper Company Ice Cream Social 

Stamp:  Close To My Heart (Pair a Phrase), Desert Sand Ink

Cuddlebug: QuicKutz Embossing Folder (Rings)

Recollections: Foam Adhesive

I hope you enjoyed my creation today.  To see more Imagine projects head on over to My Cricut Craft Room to see what the other wonderful Design Team members created.

Today is Would you Guess Wednesday at My Cricut Craft Room.  What does this mean you ask?  On Wednesday's the design team is challenged to use only the Feature Keys (these are the six keys on the left of the overlay) on any Cricut Cartridge.
