Zebra Print Birthday Card

Hi Crafters!  This week on the Creative Critterz Imaginations blog we are continuing the theme of Anything Goes.  I decided to use one of my favorite Imagine cartridges this week.  It's the Black & White Imagine cartridge.  It really is so versatile.  Love it.  :)

I decided to make a fun, hot pink, zebra print birthday card.  This card was so super simple.  I printed the zebra print on some hot pink paper.  I then glued down a white strip of paper, 1 1/2 inches wide, and then put down this super fun web ribbon on top of the white paper.  I originally bought this thinking it would be great for Halloween but thought it would be perfect for this card.

Here is the inside.  I like adding a little something to the inside of the card.

This is my last post as a Creative Critterz Imaginations design team member.  I have had so much fun being on this team.  The ladies are a lot of fun and this team has made me use my Imagine more, which I'm so grateful for.  It really is a fun and versatile machine.  Thank you for letting me share my Imagine projects with you.

Episode 90: Neighborhood Boo Treat Container

Happy Tuesday!  For today's Creative Critterz Imaginations design team blog post we are making Boo projects.  Have you done those in your neighborhood?  It's big in my neighborhood.  You get a treat anonymously from a neighbor along w/ an instruction sheet and a boo sheet to put in your window showing you got boo'd.  Then you have 2 days to Boo 2 other houses in your neighborhood.  My house just got boo'd in the last few days so this project came at just the right time.  :)  I've scanned in images of the instruction sheet that we got and the Boo sheet.  It's at the bottom of this post.

I learned how to make this container from Glora's Crafts.  Thanks Glora!  :)  This container is actually really easy to make and it is so cute.  My mom saw them and she is already making a list of who to give more too.  :)  Enjoy!

Simply Crafts with Glora and Pam - Halloween Challenge

Hi Crafters!  We have some exciting news for you!  Glora and I have been asked by some of you to open up the challenge that we have with one another each month.  So we have decided to try it out.  We have a new blog Simply Crafts that we are putting our challenge on to make things easier.  That way you don't have to figure out what blog you need to put your project on.

So on this post I am going to tell you how I made my card and then ask you to go over to the Simply Crafts blog to find out more information on the challenge and how to submit your project.  :)

It was my turn to choose the cut and I wanted to choose a Halloween/Monster cut from a cartridge that most people might have.  This little guy really stood out to me.  Thought he could be really cute.  My problem was that I wanted him to have feet.  :)  So I looked on the same cartridge and found a vest that I thought it would look like cutie feet.  Here are the original cuts:

The vest is cut at 5.45" and the monster is cut at 4.35".

To make the black and orange background paper I first printed orange striped paper from the Country Carnival cartridge w/ my Imagine.  I then printed the diamond checker pattern from the Black & White Imagine cartridge on top of the orange.  I love the way it turned out!  I then cut out the design from the Elegant Edges Cricut cartridge.  It's the Stamp cut, button #17, Oblong option on and I hid the design in the bottom right hand corner.  It is cut at 5".

Now, to participate in this challenge, and yes a giveaway is involved, head on over to the Simply Crafts blog to submit your project.  This challenge is open for two weeks.

Teen Birthday Card

I first want to say Happy Birthday to the Imagine machine!  So glad you came into my life.  :)  So this last week at the Creative Critterz Imaginations blog we have been celebrating the Imagine's birthday by showing birthday projects made with the Imagine.  Even if you don't have the Imagine there are some great birthday ideas you can do w/ the regular Cricut.  There is a giveaway going on as well, a Fancy Frames Cricut cartridge.  Today is the last day to enter in the giveaway.  To be eligible leave a comment HERE and then for extra entries for the giveaway leave a comment on each post that went on this last week.

On to my project.  This card is for my niece who is turning 15 going on 25.  So I thought I should make something kind of funky and classy.  :)  I used the Black & White Imagine cartridge to make the Zebra print and the Polka Dot print.  That's what I love about this cartridge.  It only prints the black part so you can print it on any kind of paper, even paper w/ designs on it, to add that extra pop.  The monogram is from the Baby Boutique Imagine cartridge.

Remember to head on over to the Creative Critterz Imaginations blog to be eligible for the giveaway!
