Exploring Cricut - Happy Thursday

Hello! The snow will hopefully be melting soon with some much needed weather in the 50s. I am trying to get  some organizing done and ran across an idea for all those pesky cards we keep in our wallets (like Michael's rewards, etc.) that take up so much room. 

I had an extra Altroid tin and decided to make a place to keep all those extra cards. The nice thing about this is that I used the burgundy trim on the outside of the tin to match my paper; so I only covered the top and left the inside alone.

I went to my go to cartridge, Paisley, and found a fun mushroom to add to the front. I added some Stickles and an extra flower for some more dimension. 

If you decide to make a tin for your extra cards, be sure when using to open the tin so the lid acts as a tray when you are searching for the card you need. That way they will not all fall on the floor. If you really want to get crazy, you could even alphabetize the cards!!!

Have an awesome day and thanks for stopping by!

Exploring Cricut - Happy Easter!

Hello! It's almost Easter and Exploring Cricut has another great challenge. This time you are to create a card, layout or project with an Easter theme. I chose an image from 3 Birds On Parade for my card. I don't feel ready at all for this holiday and it is right around the corner. Between snow and being sick it's been super busy. This card is great to mass produce and that is what I need right now:)

The shape of the card was found on Birthday Bash and was perfect for my egg theme. I used my Gypsy to size up the front of the card so that I could add patterned paper over it. This will also fit in an A2 envelope! I hid the eyes with my Gypsy and added fun googly eyes and some yellow Stickles. The chick was popped up and I completed the ears with some Diamond Stickles.

The shell was adhered to the inside and Happy Easter was stamped.  Super simple CAS card.

Have a wonderful day and look forward to seeing your creations!

Sketchy Friday #12

It's time for a new sketch at Sketchy Friday and once again Sonia has an fantastic one for inspiration!

I chose this darling SKdigis fish. Isn't she happy and of course, she needed some sparkle. What would we do without Stickles?? I used a yellow and blue to give her some pizzazz. I used Silhouette Design Edition to color in my fishy and her bubbles.
