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!!

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!

OK all, hope to catch you Craftin' and Stampin'!

My Day At Exploring Cricut!

Hey All!!

Today is my turn at Exploring Cricut!

As you know, when its your day at Exploring Cricut, you can make WHATEVER you want (as long as you use a Cricut Cutout). So, today I decided to utilize the Craft Room to make a project for MY Craft Room!

I have been seeing these signs ALL over the internet! I refused to pay for one when I KNEW I could make one myself! So, I started up the Craft Room, and I got to work! Here is what I came up with:

 

 

Let me tell you how easy this was! You know me and my life...I NEED easy!!!

 

I used the Craft Room Basics file for the letters, and the Cricut Essentials file for the cutout that the letters were cut out of! Once I got it the way I wanted, I cut out the letters FIRST, then I unloaded the mat, and reloaded it, and cut the shape around the letters. I set it up in the craft room to look like this first (there is 2 layers and they are both on, that way I knew it would cut right):

 



 



 

I mounted the cutout in a frame that I will keep on my craft table!

 

Now how easy is that???

 

Dont forget we still have our Transportation Challenge going on! Make sure you enter your project in by Sunday to try to win some goodies!!! You can click HERE to enter!

 

 

OK All, Hope to catch you all Craftin' and Stampin'! 

The Cutting Cafe Video Post-Chevron Cutting File card

Hey All!!!

How empty have I felt without having my camcorder??? I am SO glad I have it back now! Because I have not had my camera, I have not been able to do my postings for The Cutting Cafe because I am party of the video team! I needed to get that camera fixed, and FAST! Thankfully, its back in my craftroom!!

SOOOOO, I wanted to share a quick card that I made with The Cutting Cafe's file-Chevron Cutting File's. This file was SUPER easy to cute on my Silhouette Cameo! And it turned out SUPER CUTE!!!

Here a picture of my card:

OK All!! Hope to catch you all Craftin' and Stampin'!

Exploring Cricut-Trains, Planes, and Automobiles!

Click HERE for my Made Especially For You post!!!!



Hey All!!

It's time for another awesome challenge over at Exploring Cricut!!!


Here are the details for this weeks challenge:

Monday Sept.24 Challenge-

"Trains, planes, and automobiles" created a card, layout, or papercraft with a cricut cutout of some means of transportation."

 

I have to admit this challenge had me thinking!!! I new I had a ton of cartridges, BUT did I have any stamps with a saying that could work for this weeks challenge???? So, I went digging through ALL my stamps, and found a cute little sentiment. Once I found the sentiment, I knew which form of transportation I was going to create!!!

 

Here is my card:

 

 

Not sure if you can make out what my sentiment says, but it says "LET YOUR DREAM SET SAIL"...I thought the Sailboat from LIFE'S A BEACH was the PERFECT cut for that saying...Don't you??? I used my Big Shot to emboss the waves, and I was going to make foam on the tip of the waves, but I couldnt find my puffy foam!!! WAHHH!! Oh well, when I find it, I will add it!!!

Now, go and check out the rest of the AMAZING design teams projects!! Then enter YOUR project for this weeks challenge HERE!!!

OK all, hope to catch you Craftin' and Stampin'!
