My Creative Time - Challenge

I am entering this card in My Creative Time's Challenge.  Emma from My Creative Time has a member of her Design Team pick the Challenge...this week the Challenge host is Tracy.  Tracy's challenge is to use googly eyes on our project.

 

I just love using googly eyes especially with the Mini Monster's Cricut Cartridge.

It was tough to choose just one monster, but I wanted to use My Creative Time's Small Talk stamp set, so I chose this guy as I thought he fit just perfect in the box.

He is Button 3 on the overlay and cut at 2.5.

To complete him I also used Feature Buttons: Layer 1 and Layer 2.

I then added the googly eyes, which makes him look just perfect! :)

 

The spider is from Happy Hauntings Cricut Cartridge.

He can be found on Button 27 <Shift>, cut at 1.71.

The Small Talk stamp set has a 2.75 x 2.75 dotted frame with a spot left open for 18 different coordinating sentiments to choose from. For this card of course I chose the Boo! sentiment...soo cute!

I then inked one side of the dotted frame to continue the line down so the frame

looks like the spider's web.  I really love how it turned out.

 

To finish up my card I added black ribbon and doodled some dots around the orange paper.

 

I hope everyone has a great week...thanks for stopping by,

My Cricut Craft Room - My Imagine-ation Monday

Happy Monday Crafty Friends,

Today is My Imagine-ation Monday at My Cricut Craft Room.  Today's creation was made for my Boo at work.  What is a Boo?  Every year at the office we pick a name and we get to surpirse our Boo with a special treat.  My Boo this year has two little boys, so I wanted to make them a special treat as well. 

The door hanger is from Close To My Heart Art Philosophy. 

The cut can be found using the Decorative Font Feature Button <Shift>, button 5, Fit to page.

Count and Frank are found on Mini Monsters and Flood filled with patterns from Imagine More.

Count is button 7 and Frank is button 17

The cuts and layers are sized at 2.8 Rel

The boys names were welded together using my Gypsy.

The letters are sized at 1"

I am really happy with how these little guys turned out and I can't wait to surprise my Boo with these treats.

Now head on over to Erica at My Cricut Craft Room to see what else has been created by the wonderful DT.

I also recommend checking out Erica's webstore...She has amazing prices.

My Creative Time Throwback Thursday Challenge

Happy Sunday Crafters,

I made this card for My Creative Time's Throwback Thursday Challenge.

*** This challenge is to use an older cartridge with a "Card Feature" on it! There are  LOTS of cartridges out there today that have "card features" on them! Here are a "few" examples, Life is a Beach, Stretch your Imagination, A Child's Year, Wrap it up...... ETC..

***Your card MUST BE A HALLOWEEN THEME!!!

 

For my card base I used A Child's Year 11x4.25 using the Gypsy. 

Then my other cuts are from Mini Monsters. 

 The hat and it's layers are cut at 3.25 and the phrase was cut at 2.75.

 

Hope you like my creation!

My Cricut Craft Room - My Imagine-ation Monday

Happy Monday,

This pumpkin with his big grin makes me happy! :)  Today is My Imagine-ation Monday at My Cricut Craft Room, which means we can make any project using the Cricut Imagine.  Today I made this card that can be found on Mini Monsters and flood filled with patterns from Imagine More (Imagine Cartridge).  First I printed a pattern for the inside of the card.  I didn't want to print a whole page so I selected the 3:5 rectangle in the stock photos that come on the Imagine.  I wanted the flood filled image towards the right (this way when I flip it over the cuts will be in the right place) so I selected the rectangle twice.  The first one is .8 (Rel) with no pattern so it does not print anything.  Then the second rectangle is sized at 5.5 (Rel) and flood filled with a pattern from page 42.  A tip for the next time I do this is to cut off the white edge on the right of the printed image so my paper starts at the edge of the mat.  When I cut the pumpkin card there was just a bit of the white as shown below.



Sorry for the side view...blogger is being difficult, but I wanted to show that I inked the edge to cover the white and added a sentiment.



For the front of the card I selected Mini Monsters and used the Card Feature, selected button 32 on the overlay, and cut at 5.5 (Rel) in order to fit in an A2 envelope.  I then selected all of the layers which were all cut at 5.5 (rel) as well.  The patterns I used to flood fill can be found on page 36 (orange polka dot) and page 41 (green gingham).

Supplies:

Paper - Bazzill Cardstock (White)

Close to my Heart Stamp

I hope you enjoyed my card today...for more Imagine inspiration please visit My Cricut Craft Room to see what the other talented Design Team members created.

My Cricut Craft Room 100 Cricut Cartridge Blog Hop

Happy Saturday...I hope everyone is having a great start to this Labor Day Weekend.

Welcome to My Cricut Craft Room's 100 Cricut Cartridge Blog Hop...this is my first time participating in a blog hop so I am super excited.  You should have come from Jen R if not please start at the begining http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com/  if not please start at the beginning. 

On this Blog Hop you will see 100 different Cricut Cartridges used.

For my first creation today I made a 5.5x5.5 card using Hello Kitty Greetings, Storybook and Better Together (Imagine cartridge).  The cuts are as follows:

• Hello Kitty Greetings (Page 39 cut at 4.5).  I flood filled Hello Kitty's dress and bow layer with a pattern from Better Together (Page 42) and the ballon layers were flood filled with coordinating colors in the Better Together Color Palette.  I then embossed these with the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder. 
• Storybook (Page 75 - Function Key - Accent Frame - Shift - cut at 5")  This shape was flood filled with the pattern from Better together (page 38). 
• Storybook (Page 71 - Function Key - Accent Blackout - cut at 1.5 x 2) and I stamped my sentiment in that shape (the sentiment is from My Creative Time Stamps - Many Greetings).  I then cut this same shape at 4.5 x 2.5 to go on the inside of my card.  I added some stitching and all done.

Now for Mini Monsters.  One of my Besties asked me to help her decorate for her son's third birthday party and he wanted a Monster theme.  This was perfect because I just got Mini Monsters and I couldn't wait to use it.  I made a couple projects to help decorate for the birthday party.



Mini Monsters Birthday Banner
All of the monsters for the banner were cut at 8" and the letters are from A Child's Year cut at 3.31".  On the Gypsy I used the Hide Countour feature so the eyes wouldn' cut so I could use googly eyes.  I then attached the monsters to 2.5" Celbrate It Basic Ribbon that says Happy Birthday.  They were attached to the side without the words and then the ribbon was flipped so you can see the Happy Birthday on the ends.

Mini Monsters Goodie Bags
 The orange/green goodie bag was cut at 5.71"...this size I was able to cut two monsters on the mat.  The blue/orange goodie bag was cut at 6.18"...this size only allowed one monster per mat because of the handles.

Birthday boy Landon biting the monster's toe...Isn't this cake absolutely adorable.  This cake was made by Landon's mommy.  I striclty create with paper. LOL  The little monster is tired after his party. :)

Thank you for stopping by along the hop.  Next stop is the lovely and talented Laura.
