Pearls, Pearls and More Pearls

My name is Pam and I am a Craft Hoarder.  Seriously.  I was telling Glora this the other day.  I buy crafting supplies and I hate to use them.  I want to keep them because they are so pretty and they cost $$.  :)  So I'm determined to start using my crafting supplies as you can tell from this card.  I call it the Pearl Explosion.  LOL  The image is from Lori's Garden Imagine cartridge.  I just got it this last week and had to use it.  To make it pop a little more I used all of the layers to the image and then for it to pop a whole lot more I put pearls all over it.  Seriously.  All over it.  :)  Enjoy!

Episode 91: Making My Own Background Paper

Hi Crafters and Friends!  I wanted to share with you on how I made my own background paper with this card.  It's super simple to do and has a great effect.  I used the Spellbinders Impressabilities tool which is usually used to emboss paper.  I wanted to use the design on them as the design on my paper.  If you don't have the Impressabilities try cutting out a design w/ your Cricut to use in it's place.  It's super easy.

**I want to say a super THANK YOU to Glora.  I don't have the Disney cartridge that Tink is on so she cut and put her together for me.  THANKS GLORA!!!!**  :)

Too Cute To Spook!

Happy Tuesday!  For my Creative Critterz Imaginations design team post we are making Halloween Cards.  So for my card today I wanted to do something different than I normally do.  I usually make A2 size cards so I decided to make a circle card.  It's still simple but that's me.  :)  The circle card is sized at 5" and it was from a kit that I already had so I just pulled it out and decorated it.  Easy.  My first designer paper circle is cut at 4.7" and is from the Bubblegum Stripes Imagine cartridge.  My next paper is cut at 4" and is also from the Bubblegum Stripes Imagine paper.

Today is the last day to submit your project over at the Simply Crafts challenge blog.

Classy Halloween Card

Hi Crafters!  Today's post is for the Paper Playtime Challenge.  I'm back on their design team and they have a new setup now.  The first Monday is dedicated to Cricut cuts.  The 3rd Monday is dedicated to sentiments.  This project we are to use buttons, bows and a sentiment.  This is what I came up with.

I love how the button came out.  The button is from a sweater that was snagged so is not usable anymore.  So I snipped off the buttons because I like the big black fat button look.  It ended up being perfect for this project.  I flipped the button over so the bumpy parts are on the bottom and the flat part is the top.  I then stamped the spider from the My Pink Stampers Spook-a-licious stamp set w/ Versamark ink on the button.  Then heat embossed in white.  I put Scor-pal tape on the back edge of the button and wrapped the orange thread around the button.  It turned out really fun.

It's hard to tell in the picture but the white paper has some shiny embossed ghosts on it.  Love the look of it in person.

To participate in the challenge you can submit your project at the bottom of this post (it will show up on the Paper Playtime challenge post as well), or head on over to the Paper Playtime challenge blog to submit your project.  Just needs to have a bow, button and a sentiment.  There is a giveaway involved as well.  Make sure you check it out!  :)

Baby Toy Card

My aunt needed a baby boy card and this is what I came up with.  The stamp cut is from the B is for Boy Cricut cartridge.  I merged two of them together to create the card base.  It's cut at 5.25" real dial size.  My yellow layer is cut at 4.75" and the white at 4.5".  I embossed the white cardstock w/ my Cuttlebug Polka Dot Embossing folder.

The toy is from the same cartridge and is cut out, w/ all of it's layers, at 4".  The designer paper is from the DCWV Baby Boy paper stack.  The toy is also on an Action Wobble.  This cut definitely needs to be a wobbling.  :)
