VALENTINE'S DAY CHALLENGE

This challenge is all about Valentine's Day!  

I created this tri-fold box ATC using theValentine Hearts file.  I used the Double Heart for the front of the card. I covered the outline (red) and the inside heart in UTEE for dimension. The background is fabric that I embossed with a "love letter" stamp. Red and white roses to finish off the front.  On the inside, I used the Heart Lock cut and added a keepsake key embellishment.  "To my love" is stamped above the heart lock - representing that I am giving my love the key to my heart."  I also cut each side in order to feed the "key to my heart" ribbon (adhesive on the back of the ribbon).

FOR THE BOYS

This is the first challenge for 2014 - FOR THE BOYS - and we have some great projects from the design team.  Check them out at CREATIVE CUTTING CHALLENGE.

I used the FOOTBALL SET and this set has a variety of great cuts and of course I had to use pictures of my star football player!

 From the FOOTBALL SET I used the helmet, football, and the silhouettes.  I cut the helmet twice to make the layers (had to add that silver paper for the grill) and added brads for accent.  I must say that the title is my favorite part of the page.  Using the silhouettes over the word "football" (which was printed on the paper) added so much action.  I used SCAL for the letters and numbers.  And, of course I had to cut the football - it was a "must have". My page would not have been complete without it!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Over the next few days, as we are approaching Christmas, remember WHO Jesus is, and remind everyone you see of the Reason for the Season.

My sister has kept me pretty busy this holiday season making Christmas cards!  

This was a HIT!

Working with a little acetate paper, some snowflakes, stamps, and a circle punch and this is what I get!

The background is actually an SVG (Birds Cards), but instead of cutting it, I blew the dust off of those Cri-Cut pens and out came this great background!

Thanks to Brandon (my 5 yr old grandson), we came up with this great card!  We used the circle punch, a little bling, stickles, stamps, and glitter.  The tree and the hat are SVG files.  Great fun!

This was scrap lifted, but I couldn't help it.  I just loved it when I saw it!

I was putting my Cricut to work and at the same time, I was learning a few things!

Making my tree 3D.....AWESOME!  Yeah, I know everyone is doing it....lol.

I can't remember where I got this adorable corner moose!

An SVG, Nestabilities (Thank you Pam and Thelma) and a Cuttlebug.  LUV IT!

Once I got the hang of the snow globes (without throwing glass beads everywhere....lol) it was too much fun to make just one.

I would like to wish everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR! 

Have a safe holiday and I will see you next year!

Christmas Card Challenge - CCC

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and getting into the spirit with a Christmas card challenge!  I used the heading from the Christmas Set as my focal point.  I cut strips from various papers to make the banners for the background, added a ribbon across the top, strung some lights, and also added a bauble (cut and embossed in the Cuttlebug with a Pepsi can!).  Festive was the look I was going for.

Join the Christmas Card Challenge at Creative Cutting Challenge!  This is the last challenge of the year, so now is your chance to show us your Christmas cards using any SVG files.

Have a safe and happy holiday season!

 I took the CHRISTMAS SET TWO and made ornaments!  For the round ornament, I cut it four times, folded each one in half, and stuck them back to back for dimension. Finishing it off with some Stickles on each side. For the stocking, I cut the bottom layer once and the top layers twice (remember to flip one) so that it would be double sided. Finishing it off with some liquid applique` for the top of the stocking and tinted gel puffy paint for accent.

Lets get crafting for the holidays!!!

CCC - THANKSGIVING - NOT A CARD

 I decided to make a layout for my upcoming Thanksgiving pics and I know I will have plenty.  I used the Thanksgiving Set 2 for my scrapbook layout.  The heading made a great title and using the turkey, acorns and leaves gave me the perfect elements for decoration and dimension.  I used neon papers for the feathers on the turkey and a patterned paper for the body.  Also, I used garnet colored embossing powder for the top of the acorns.  The leaves were cut, vines drawn on and then sprayed with alcohol ink for that fall color theme.

 Come on over to the CREATIVE CUTTING CHALLENGE and submit your Thanksgiving projects!  And, guess what? You can win this great set!  Also, One extra special entry will receive the"Creative Choice" button!
