Missionary Card

This card I made was really simple.  It's for a young man in my church that is headed off on his 2 year church mission to Lubbock, Texas.  I used the new Missionary Icons digital cartridge, exclusive through Cricut Craft Room.  I cut it out at 3.5" w/ all of the layers.  I flood filled the tie and the background paper from the Heirloom Imagine cartridge.  After I took the picture I wrote ELDER in white gel ink on the name tag.  It looked better, looked finished.  Anywho, enjoy!

Thanksgiving Table Decorations

Happy Tuesday!  For my Creative Critterz Imaginations design team post we are asked to make Thanksgiving table decorations.  I decided to do a table setting.  What I ended up doing is REALLY simple.  I used Create a Critter for the leaves and the Heirloom Imagine cartridge for the patterns.  This year there are only 4 of us that will be at Thanksgiving dinner so I wanted to do something a little special.

Here is what the setting looks like:

For some reason the middle leaf is coming off orange in the pictures.  It's actually more of a maroon color in real life.  :)

Here is a look down at the plate.  The brown and green leaf is cut at 7", the maroon one is cut at 5.5".  I cut a band w/ the maroon paper and put it around my silverware and then wrapped some linen thread around that w/ a green leaf cut at 1.5" to hang from it.

This name plate is cut at 4" x 3" and scored at 1.5".  The brown leaf is cut at 1.5" and the maroon one cut at 1.1".

I wanted to do something that decorated the cup so I wrapped the linen thread around it and hung a brown and maroon leaf from it.  The brown leaf is cut at 2.5" and the maroon one is cut at 2".  To keep the thread in place I placed a glue dot on the cup first then wrapped the thread around it.  The glue dot should come off easily.

Thanks for stopping by!  Remember I will be having a giveaway that I will be doing later this week on my blog.  Be sure to stop by.

Episode 76: All About Me Layout

Today's post is for the Creative Critterz Imaginations blog.  The theme this week is to make a layout about yourself.  I had a real hard time with this project because 1) I don't scrapbook and 2) I didn't know how to scrap about myself.  So I did a little searching online and found a LO that I liked to use for mine.

The page is 12x12 and the brown squares are 3.5"x3.5", the cream squares, which I embossed w/ the Cuttlebug D'Vine Swirls embossing folder, are cut at 3.25"x3.25".

I was going to make my page have bright colors but since this page is about me I went w/ warmer tones.  I'm not a pastel, elementary, neon kind of girl.  I prefer browns, dark blues/greens/reds.  

All of the designer paper I used on the cuts are from the Vintage Damask Imagine cartridge.  The 12x12 sheet is from the Heirloom Imagine cartridge.  Even though I don't scrapbook or do anything about myself I had a lot of fun making this.  Watch the video to see what each block means, if you can't tell.  :)

Sorry the pictures aren't the best, I haven't figured out the best way to take a picture of a 12x12 sheet of paper.  :)

Good Luck Missionary

Here is a card I made for a young man in my church that is heading out on his mission for two years.  I can't remember where he is going but I know it's in the states so that is why I chose to do more of a red/white/blue theme.  This image is cut from the Simply Charmed Cricut cartridge.  I cut out everything but the face.  I love the Simply Charmed cartridge but not a fan of everything having a face on it.  Luckily I have my Gypsy to hide those cuts.  :)

The designer paper for the tie came from my Imagine.  I used the Heirloom Imagine cartridge and printed off a sheet of that paper.  I then used that in my Expression to cut out the image.  The reason I did this is because I wanted to tilt the top knot at an angle so it looks like the tie is actually "tied".  If that makes any sense.  :)  I hand cut out the badge.

The card is an A2 size card, the red layer is 4" x 5.25" and the Simply Charmed shirt/tie cut is at 5".

Happy Fathers Day Card

Here is a simple and fun Father's Day card I made using my Imagine machine.  The cut is from the Car Decals Cricut cartridge and I flood filled it in w/ my Heirloom Imagine cartridge.  The designer paper in the background is also from the Heirloom cartridge.  That cart has some really classy colors and designs on it.  Love it!  And to finish off my card I used the My Pink Stampers Happiest Moments stamp set.  That stamp set is a must have.

I'm also entering this card in the Creative Critterz Imagination challenge for Father's Day.  Super Fun!
