Hiding In My Craft Room Color Challenge-Black, Orange, and Purple!

Hey All!!

Today is a Color Challenge over at Hiding In My Craft Room!!!

For the color combo today, we will be using:


BLACK,
ORANGE
PURPLE

OOOOO..SO SPOOKY! I LOVE IT!!!

For my project today, I decided to make another Halloween Card! Once I decided on a card, I totally knew what image I wanted to use, and what die cutting machine! I chose the Free Shape of the week from the Silhouette Store which was the Mummy! I then knew I would be using my Cameo to cut this out! And can I tell you just how NICELY it cut? No crumbling, no tearing, no moving...PERFECT! And as you can see, this mummy was cut in 3 separate layers, and there was very small outer edges cut out, and it worked GREAT! See for yourself!

Here is my card:

 

Supplies:

Designs on Cloud 9 Happy Harvest paper stack

Recollections solid paper colors in Black, Orange, and Purple

Studio G Stamp

Stampin' Up Craft Ink in Whisper White

Stampin' Up designer lable punch

Foam Square adhesive

Scotch Quick Dry

Theme Day Thursday at My Cricut Craft Room!

 

 

 

Hey All!!

 

 

It's time for another post for My Cricut Craft Room!!!

 

Today, its theme day Thursday!

 

For today's theme, we have Apples and Pumpkins! I chose a pumpkin card for Halloween! And what a cute little pumpkin card it ended up being!!!

 

 

I used Create A Critter for my little pumpkin friend, and I used scraps of paper left from last Halloween and Thanksgiving! Its a cute little bright pink shade in my background paper and I added some white gel pen stiching around him. I also used my letter stamps to spell out HEY PUMPKIN since I didnt have a stamp that said that! I popped it up on some pop dots, so it just RIGHT out at you! I used Pumpkin Pie ink from Stampin' Up to do some shading around my pumpkin and around my saying, which I also used Pumpkin Pie ink for!

HOLY CRAFTY SUNDAY!!! What's that???

Hey All!!!


Wait, whats a Crafty Sunday??? I haven't had one in SO long that I TOTALLY forget what it is!!

Well, a Crafty Sunday starts out bright and early at a Crafty Store with you BCP (Best Crafty Partner)...In my case, its my sister-in-law, Colleen! We made a trip to Michael's first, then off to AC Moore. We were suppossed to hit Hobby Lobby last night, but a certain BCP forgot about me! WAHHH! I wish they were open on Sunday's! All the best things are closed on Sunday's!

Then, after you get your crafty shopping done, you come up and make some room for all your new stuff in your craft room! That's usually the hard part, lol!

After you get it away, clean up the mess you made trying to make more room! HAHAHAHA!!!

Now, its time to GET CRAFTY!!!

Today, I am hardcore working on my pre-made scrapbook layouts for our upcoming craft show! I am also making die cut embellishments to sell! I am just doubling ever icon I make to add to the list!!!

But, I also wanted to make a SUPER CUTE card today with a file that I received from Regina over at The Cutting Cafe. She had sent me an adorable little owl card that I wanted to make, and so I did!

Here is the card all finished!!!

 

 

And here is a video of what the pieces look like! I also tell you the supplies that I used for the project!

OK all....I'm still getting crafty, so I hope you all are Craftin' and Stampin' as well!!!

Hiding In My Craft Room Post-Freestyle!

Hey All!!!

It's Saturday again! And guess what that means??? Another Hiding In My Craft Room challenge!!!

This week, the theme is:

FREESTYLE!!!!


I love when we have a freestyle type theme because we can make WHATEVER!

So, for my project, I made a paper mache item. I made a spell book out of a plain old item! Wanna see it??

It was SO EASY to make!

First, I painted the entire book in black paint. Next I took some crackle paint and did a thin layer on top of the black paint. Then, I took the purple paint and painted another layer on top, and FINALLY another layer of crackle paint.

While I waited for it all to dry, I pulled out my Theresa Collins Chic and Scary Cricut Cartridge and cut out "Poisons and Potions". I popped up the skeleton head on a pop dot to make it come out at you! I also cut 5 cuts from Craft Room Basics for me to mount the Poisons and Potions on. I glued them all together CAREFULLY to make it seem thicker, like an old scary book might look!

After I did that, I adhered it to the book, and coated once again with crackle paint!

I cant wait to get it up for Halloween in my house! Its going to look great!!!

OK all, please check out the rest of my DT sisters projects!!! They are ALL wonderful!!! Then, be sure to enter your project into the HIMCR challenge!!

Hope to catch you all Craftin' and Stampin'!

Would You Ever Guess Wednesday with My Cricut Craft Room

Hey All!!


Welcome to WOULD YOU EVER GUESS WEDNESDAY with the Design Team from My Cricut Craft Room!

Today's WYEGW is about using ANY function keys as well as using the colors PINK, BLACK, & WHITE!

So, I just recently got DR. CHECKUP in the mail, so I knew I would like to use that cartridge. BUT, I didn't want to do another get well soon type card. So, I looked and looked and found the PERFECT image!!!! Wanna see the card to see the image????

 

Front of the card! Don't you just love the colors all together??? The stamp says "FREE, TAKE ONE". This is from the Jaded Blossom Stamp Set-Miscellaneous Fun. I used Rose Red from Stampin' Up for the ink color, and also a VERY old punch that does not have a title to cut out the stamp.

 

Close up shot of the lollipop! I added Glossy Accents to the pink part of the lollipop and I added Stickles to the white part of the lollipop (Diamond Stickles). I also added Stickles to the bow (Spun Sugar Stickles)!

 

 

The stamped sentiment in the inside of the card is from Pink By Designs stamp set BREAST WISHES.  Also used Rose Red for the inside sentiment ink.

 

 

Now, please make sure you go back and check out the rest of the Design Teams projects for today!
