Exploring Cricut and More - You're a Firecracker!

Hello Everyone and Happy Early 4th of July! Today, I am sharing this project at Exploring Cricut and More. I decided to create a card with this cute firecracker from Miss Kate Cuttable using my Silhouette Cameo machine.

I cut my firecracker at 3.50" using some red glossy paper from DCWV. I cut the polka dot negative using the shadow of the image and added the glossy red paper behind.  The pieces fit together beautifully and I love how clean the tiny stars came out! The sentiment is from Pink By Design.

 Remember the challenge and gift certificate deadlines are this Saturday over at Exploring Cricut and More!!

Have a safe and Happy 4th of July!

Exploring Cricut - Celebrate!

Good Morning!! Are you up for a challenge? Well, at Exploring Cricut we have one for you celebrating either 4th of July or Canada day using your Cricut. Your project must include a flag.

I decided to create a layout for the 4th of July using red, white and blue. 

 For my flags I used pennant flags to showcase the word July. I put silver brads in each of them.

The stars were cut using George and I clipped the edges on the bottom so they could peak out from the mats.

Exploring Cricut - Red, White and Blue Challenge

Hi Crafty Friends! Today is a new challenge at Exploring Cricut. The challenge is to make a card, project or layout with red, white and blue for the 4th of July or Canada Day. I decided to go with the upcoming holiday theme, 4th of July! It has been so hot here that we may not get to do fireworks this year because of all the dryness. 

It would be awesome if it rains before Wednesday; but I don't think we will have any luck with that. We always have a fireworks ban in the city limits, however, we are concerned to even go out in the country because of the fire hazard. Well, there is still the picnics and games to celebrate the holiday. 

For my project, I chose to make a card. I'm not sure you can see it in the picture, but I added Glossy Accents to the handle and the actual bell. It really gave it a nice shine.

Papers - DCWV and Stampin' Up

I always love to see what you guys create and this time is no different. I hope you decide to join in the fun. It looks like an awesome prize you could win too!!

Thank you for stopping by and I always love your comments!
