I just wanted to share a card I made for Gaby Abby Challenges with SEI
This challenge was to create a fall/harvest theme project.
I used the SEI Moonlight Collection to create this super cute card. I spritzed the diecut with water, then went ahead and crumpled it. In order to give it some texture, I then gave it a quick shot with my heat gun, then put some glossy accents on the leaves .
The sentiment is from Scrappy Moms The Charmed Life Stamped set The tag is from Once Upon a Princess
I hope you are having fun! I am really enjoying using stickers in my projects now. I hope I am showing you that it is possible, and not only that, EASY to use your stickers and vinyl rub-ons along with your cricut projects. The Most important thing you need to do is measure whatever sticker, rub-on, etc that you are using .
Want to win? All you have to do is leave a comment on every post this week. 5 posts equal a max of 5 entries. the winner will be chosen at the end of the day on friday.
Ok here is my project, I know i've been making alot of cards. I'm working on something "non-card" for tomorrow :)
Birds in Bird Cage, Winter Frolic pg 58, 2.5 inches
Label, Just Because Cards pg 45 3.5x3 inches REAL DIAL SIZE
Tag Feature Once Upon A Princess pg 68, 1 inch
Stickers: EAD Designs Friends & Family Sentiments (2.50)
I took a little poll over on my facebook page asking what you, my friends, wanted to see me make for a video. And not - so - suprising, everyone said "Christmas" I have been trying to come up with some really good ideas for Christmas time, because of course I will be making all of my cards home made.
I am so happy that I recently recieved my Scrappy Moms Winter Wishes stamp set because OH MY WORD all the sentiments are just too cute and inspire me soo much.
Here is a cute card that I made yesterday for you all . I hope you enjoy it
For the Card base I used Once upon a princess, and the AC Chestnut Damask Embossed Cardstock.
The Second Layer is also from Once upon a princess and I used the DCWV Christmas Combo Stack
The cutesy Gingerbread people are from Just Because Cards the layer of green is just a scrap of DCWV Textured Cardstock
The ribbon border is cut from Winter Frolic
Enjoy
Make sure to stop by tomorrow for the Dia De Los Muertos Blog hop, it's a big one full of talented designers and some great candy/prizes as well :)
I know it's not even halloween yet, but I feel like christmas is just around the corner!!!!
Does anyone else feel that way. I thought I would get a start on some of my christmas cards for this year. And I always tend to go simple when I have a few to make, I thought I would share this really simple card that is quick and easy to make multipes of. The secret is using double sided paper
Ok so the designer paper I used here is discontinued, I picked it up at my local scrapbook store in the clearance pile Daisy Bucket Designs, Astor Park Collection, Browning Street. I'm not sure if it is actual "christmas paper" but it had reds and greens in it, and I thought why not give it a try.
The paper is 12x12 and I only ended up using a 2 inch strip of it. The one strip is 1.5x 3.75 punched with my fiskars apron lace punch , and the second is just 1/2 x3.5. The magic of double sided paper that it instantly coordinates :)
The snowwman is cut from Winter Woodland at 4 inches. I used Frosted lace stickles on her hat and heart. The tag is cut from Once upon a princess at 1.75 inches and The stamp is from Scrappy Moms "Winter Wishes" I stamped it used my Tim Holtz Black Soot Distress Ink. Everything else is inked with Frayed Burlap. Lastely I added some black eyelets, and tied a double bow to finish the card.
I thought it was about time to get back on the video tutorial posting horse. So Mind my mistakes I'm still a bit rusty after vacation. Or at least I feel rusty.
I started out wanting to do the latest Mojo Monday sketch challenge, since it has litterally been forever and a day since I did one of their sketches
here is this week's sketch that I decided to use.
I had so much fun using the mini monsters cricut cartridge that I decided to give it another go. I used my Gypsy and the hide contour feature to hide the cuts for the face. I once again drew my own faces onto the pumpkins
The empty tag is for my Scrappy Moms a Haunting we Go sentment stamps. That I'm still waiting for, I was hoping the mailman would bring them today along with my new cricut cartridges, but nope. He brought me nothing but junk mail today.
anyhoo Enjoy the Video

Today I was inspired by Momo's Challenge. I had completely forgot about it until this morning, and this week's theme is " Super Girly" I went rummaging in my scraps and found some pink paper that I didn't touch since DECEMBER when i first got my cricut, and did a hello kitty layout. Also after a quick thumb through Once Upon a Princess, I didn't realize they had cute cupcakes on there, and I was EBAY bidding last night like a CRAZY WOMAN on Sweet Treats Cricut Cartridge
{side note: Didnt win, but did get some amazingly similar images at Lettering Delights for 4 bucks here and here finally here, So you might see some projects with these very soon }
But I was very happy to see cupcakes on my OUAP cartridge because I wasn't in the mood to play around with inkscape or SCAL2 today. Sometime soon though
I hope you enjoy

My daughter is growing up soo big, it seems like just yesterday we brought her home from the hospital. Now she's mobile! crawling around the house, and standing up, it's only a matter of days before she figures out how to put one foot in front of the other and RUN!!
Today's project is inspired by her

I was able to shoot a very low tech version of a video. Using my Prehistoric Cam. Sorry for the strange angle. I got a new desk in my scrap area and Not everything is organized the way it should be just yet. I am hoping to have everything and reorganized by the end of today.
Anyways. When I was at CKC I saw a card like this and I was finally able to get around to making one. This is the most simple way I could figure it out. This is a great way to use your scraps!!! I know maybe some of you out there save every little piece of paper, like me, and this is a way to use them
My Slide mounts, I am not sure if I mentioned this in my video, I did it all in one quick shot and May have left this out. They were made from 1 7/8in x 1 7/8 in stacked on top of 2x2 in squares.
Like I said in the video I used Gypsy Wanderings and Once upon a princess ( for the title)

Hey everyone. SOrry about the delay. I made a previous Video For Episode 2, it was an alligator card, but a problem with my theme music made the video too long and rejected by youtube. So HEre is my episode 3 and bumped up to episode 2. I hope you enjoy. I'm still getting used to my video software and working with a tripod so forgive me. I made the video in 2 parts the gypsy and the assembly tutorial so that those who want to watch only one of the parts can do so. Hope this helps someone out there. Next video will be posted Friday. :)
