Exploring Cricut and More - Challenge Monday!

Hello! The summer is flying by around here and the weather has been gorgeous; so not much time in the craft room lately. But, it is challenge Monday at Exploring Cricut and More and this challenge is always a good one. Create any card, layout or project of your choice using 2 cuts with any machine.

I decided to create a card using this wonderful stamp from Joy's Life. I have been meaning to create something with this sentiment and when I saw the files from Lettering Delights I knew this would be perfect.

I think I need a new blade as my table has some fuzzies, but other than that I'm pleased with how it turned out. I did snip the brad arms and attach with a glue dot so that it wouldn't show on the back of the card.

Exploring Cricut - Jar of Hearts

Good Morning! Hope your day is off to a great start. Today, I am sharing a project at Exploring Cricut.  I used quite a few cartridges to complete this card and, of course, my Gypsy.

Mason jars are so popular right  now and I was inspired by looking on Pinterest to create this one. I found the jar on the cartridge From My Kitchen and then welded the hearts to the jar. I used the x and y axis to make sure the hearts were even in their rows. The floral bg paper was also tweeked from Elegant Edges. I hid the heart that was in the bottom right corner to get the shape I wanted.

Exploring Cricut- Disney Challenge

Hello! We have another challenge at Exploring Cricut this week. The challenge is to create a card, layout or craft using any of the Disney Cricut cartridges. I chose to make a card using Goofy.

 

 

 

There are 3 different images of Goofy and I think they are all equally cute. I will say that using my Gypsy is great, however, I still look at my books so that I can get the placement correct. On certain cartridges it is more difficult for me to see how the layers are supposed to go. For him I did cut the shadow and then layered up.

 

I also think with the small pieces it is nice to use the small Xyron so that you don't have glue all over you:) When creating his teeth I decided not to use the cut outs as they were really small. I instead used Liquid Pearls. I also used this on his gloves. For the white of the eyes I added Glossy Accents.

 

The swirl is also on this same page as a border. To finish it off, I added a green ribbon.

Water You Up To

Happy Friday! We have finally been getting some rain showers in the evenings. The weather has started to cool a bit and it is starting to feel a little like fall. The card I have to share was a freebie at Bugaboo Stamps awhile back and I think she is a darling image to work with. Hope you enjoy too:)

Gardening Nut

Hi! So happy today because it is raining a really nice steady rain:) We haven't had decent rain in I don't remember when! I have a quick card to share from Bugaboo Stamps. I have someone very close to me who loves to be out in the yard. My husband calls her "the plant whisperer". I saw this little nut image and immediately thought of my buddy. I'm also entering into a couple challenges today.

Once I colored the nut, I used the blender to add some texture to it.

Hangin' With My Gnomies

Hi Everyone! I am stuck on this stamp set from Peachy Keen. They are just too cute! Today I used the sweet little gnome girls!  I got a new paper stack that has doublesided papers that are just so pretty:) I kept this very simple and just added the stamp and stickles to the paper.

The girls were individually cut out and adhered to the card.
