Happy Snowman

Todays card did not turn out as expected but I think it turned out cute anyway. I started off using the design studio for the cricut. I thought how easy this is going to be. I wanted a snowman card no background. I have no idea what I did wrong but it cut the snowmen out seperately even though I did weld it. I really need to learn DS better. I then decided I needed to use the pieces anyway and this is what I came up with. This challenge is for My Creative Time Thursday challenge with Emma. We needed to use the colors blue, brown and red. I also used the Peachy Keen Stamp for the face. I also added lots of stitching to make the image pop more. I hope you like my end result.

Stamp Set: Peachy Keen Winter Face Stamps
Paper: tempting turquoise, chocolate chip, whisper white, black, real red DSP from the level 1 hostess paper stack 3.
Ink: black, pumpkin pie and chocolate chip markers.
Accessories: cricut, cricut cartridge stretch your imagination, corner photo punch, flower unknown, black buttons.

Celebrate

Made by Momo has a challenge on her blog every 2 weeks on a Tuesday and 1 winner a month, This months giveaway is the cricut cartridge Cindi Loo. This is such a cute cartridge and I would love to win. The challenge is to make a graduation card or a congratulations card would be accepted.

This was made for my DD Cyndi for her hard work in training her puppy Porchia. Porchia went to puppy school but had a hard time being around other puppies. Anyone that knows a Yorkie knows they think they are a larger breed of dog and should be boss. Porchia is the cutest little yorkie with an attitude. lol but she is so sweet and cuddly. All of the dogs in her puppy training class graduated to the next level. Porchia received Congratulations diploma for completing her puppy class and was asked to return to the next puppy class. LOL

I had a lot of fun making this card thinking of my DD as I made it. I don't have a cartridge with a grad hat so I came up with my own version. I have ordered the Peachy Keen Stamp set Critter faces and it should arrive in the next couple of weeks. I can hardly wait to get them. The faces are so adorable and will really make my critters look fabulous.

Stamp Set: Celebrate

Hear Me Roar

Emma over at My Creative Time has started a challenge called Throwback Thrusday! Emma's idea is to focus on some of the older cricut cartridges. This week the challenge is to make an animal, so I made this cute lion from the animal kindom cartridge. I love the Peachy Keen Stamps and only had the med animal faces that were too big for this lion. I had no choice but to draw the face in my self.  I have just put in an order from Kathy so I will have to wait until my next order to purchace the smaller animal faces. I didn't have a sentiment that was appropriate so I wrote it in with chocolate chip marker. The out side says "Hear Me Roar" and the inside says "I'm not Lion, Out of all the people on earth, You are the best since the day of your birth. I hope your Birthday is as wonderful as you are."  This card was made into a gift card holder. I hope you like it.

Paper: chocloate chip, more mustard, dusty durango, creamy carmal, hostess level 1 DSP pack.
Ink: chocolate chip, black, more mustard
Accessories: photo corner punch, brads, white gel pen, cricut machine, cartridge animal kingdom.

Thanks for stopping by to see me. Happy stamping and crafting.

Cupcake Birthday

I cut the card at 5 1/2 " so I thought I needed to cut the cupcake at 5 1/2" but I was wrong. It was larger than the card. I then cut it at 3 3/4" and it fit the card muchbetter. I am not sure if all the cuts will be the same on this cartridge so I will have to test some of the cards out and find out myself.
Stamp Set: Crazy for Cupcakes
Paper: chocolate chip, unknown DSP that was given to me.
Ink: chocolate chip
Accessories: cricut,  a child's year cartridge

3x3 Tag

I wanted to share with you the gift tag I made. It turned out really cute. I used the cricut cartridge Create a Critter. I cut this critter and all the layers at 2.5. and the tag is 3x3. I am going to put a hole at the top and add some ribbon to tie onto the package. It is very simple and quick to put together.

Enjoy your weekend and Happy Mother's Day to all mother's everywhere.

Stamp Set: All Holidays
Paper: whisper white, night of navy, regal rose, jellybean soup DSP
Ink: black

I added hemp and the face is using the Peachy Keen animal faces. The sentiment is from SU  teeny tiny wishes. This critter is so cute! I am going to send it with a letter to my DGS in Calgary.

This is the techniuue of using the negitive of a sticker pack and colored it in for a stained glass look. I used some sparkle but it doesn't show as much as I would like it to. It must be the angle of the photo. I think this would be great for a masculine card. It is so super cute!
