My Craft Spot Cricut Challenge & A Few Others

Good evening, when I saw the challenge at My Craft Spot of 'Fall Leaves' I knew immediately what I wanted to use. I have admired this frame from Pooh & Friends for ages but never really had reason to cut it and although I have no reason for it yet the challenge was enough to get me started lol. I have not added a sentiment as yet because I don't know who or what I shall use this for yet.

This is a larger than average 7" square card with the frame cut at 6" and tigger cut at 2.75". I was very brave and even inked all the leaves before sticking them down, although I admire this technique on other people's blog's it always frightens me to do it. I do actually love how it turned out though.

Supplies:-

Card stock - Bazzill

Cricut - Expression

Cartridge - Pooh & Friends

Ink - Momento 'Rich Cocoa'

Cricut Halloween

Good morning, the weather is beautiful here today but the question is will it last into the weekend? Probably not is the usual not. Why does that happen we have lovely weather Monday to Friday but come the weekend when most people can get out we have dreadful weather.

Today I bring you the first of three Cricut only projects I have made although I did use stamps for the 'Boo' and the ghost face.

The challenge over at Bitten By The Bug 2 is to use Tags, Bags, Boxes & More to create a 3d project, I do not have this cart so made my own box instead.

I made this coffin treat box and added the little ghost element for a bit of fun and then stamped 'Boo' on the inside, the stamps I used for this I have had since I began crafting and they were still sealed, that is shameful isn't it! I also stamped the ghost's face using my Peachy Keen stamps. The orange trim is something else I have had forever, I picked it up in a charity shop thinking it would come in handy for Halloween but I think this is the first time I have used it.

Supplies:-

Card Stock - Bazzill

Stamps - See D's 'Dot to Dot 50504' & Peachy Keen 'Funshine Faces PK-944'

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge

Good evening and thank you for popping by today.

As I have a few spare days I have decided my Cricut is going to become my friend and not my enemy when it comes to creating cards and projects. I have had my Cricut for nearly two years now and mainly use it to create mats and layers for my stamped image cards unless I am asked for that certain something from a customer or family member. I have seen a lot of lovely projects around blogland which is what has spurred me on and with that said here is my Cricut only card.

Some of you may remember the door plaque I made for my god son's bedroom HERE, well it turns out it is admired by some of his friends and in fact I have made three others for friends of his since. 

With that in mind I went with this card for the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge which this week is 'It's A Pirates Life'. I am sure it will get used in due course.

This is a 6" square card, the 'A Pirates Life For Me' sign was a freebie I got from Create With TLC and I think it is just perfect for my card. The skull and cross bones I made myself using SCAL 2 from a clipart image. I used glossy accents on the eye patch, eyes, nose and mouth and then enamel accents for the teeth. Plus I was really brave and edged the pirate sign and sentiment with a black ink pad.

Supplies:-

Card stock - Bazzill

Sign - Create With TLC

Seniment - Computer Generated

Skull & Cross Bones - SCAL 2

Glossy & Enamel Accents - Ranger
