"Fangful" Card

I was playing with my new stamp set, MPS Spook-alicious, and thought I would make a card for the Cricut Blog's Card Making Day challenge.  Apparently October 1, is World Card Making Day... who knew?  Fang the dog is from Cricut Decals and the base shape is from Cricut Essentials cartridge.  Both of these cartridges are pre-loaded on the E2 Anniversary edition.

What's Up?

I think my giraffe would know the answer.  He is a cut from Animal Kingdom with eyes from my Peachy Keen Face Assortment, PK-640.  They eyes on this stamp set are far apart but if you mask the stamp you can bring them closer together.  The sentiment is from MPS's Punny-licious stamp set.  The card was designed using a sketch at Peachy Keen Challenge #61.

Mini Album, BOO!

Here is an easy to put together mini album I made for my sister.  The album base is 3 black envelopes and each page has a pull out tag.  Each letter is only glued at the edge at the side so it will slide over the page.  Add some stamps (I used My Pink Stamper's Sook-alicious.), punches, and Cricut cuts, and you are ready for pictures. 


Spider charm is made from stamp set and a Tim Holt's fragment

Cathy's Spider

My sister in  law hates spiders... BUT who would hate this sweet girly spider?  I was making some flowers with the Cricut Flower Shoppe cartridge and some reminded me of pom poms.  I am reliving my youth and making a "paper pom-pom" spider.  She lives on this bucket I found in the dollar section at Target.  I added the vellum inside and added a battery operated votive.

To make the spider, cut two spiral flowers and roll.  Sandwich between a spider cut of your choice.  I used Doodle Charm's spider.  I cut a smaller flower for the head.

Sunny Gift Box

I plan to use this sunshine box as hostess gift and think a small candle will fit inside perfectly.  The box is cut from the Wedding cartridge and the sun is from Tinkerbell and Friends.  The sun's sweet face is from Peachy Keen's Princess Face Assortment.  This will be my entry for the Peachy Keen Sunshine  Challenge.

Fab 50s Scrapbook Page

I created this scrapbook page for the September Magazine Challenge at the Cricut Circle.  For the challenge, you need to use Echo Park paper or stickers and your favorite cartridge.  I was drawn to Echo Park's Happy Days collection and remembered I had some photos of dear daughter from a 50s party.  My favorite cartridge of all time is Create a Critter... which you don't think of using when designing a 1950s theme project.  Would you believe there are four cuts from Create a Critter on my scrapbook page?  (The "fab" title, the stamp shape turned journal frame, the "retro" design by the ice cream, and the flowers on the glasses.) That is the great thing about our cartridges, there are SO many hidden jewels!  The rest of my cuts are from Nifty Fifties and the background element is from Elegant Edges.  The photo corners are made from a punch.

The glasses have plastic lenses, added a straw to to the Echo Park sundae sticker by using a boarder strip from the collection. The Imagine was used to print some 50s turqoise to match the collection.

Hid the words on the Nifty Fifties motel sign with my Gypsy. "Second" is the font from Nifty Fifites while the other words are stickers form the Echo Park Collection.

Pirates Play Hard Card

Here is my pirate inspired project for the Challenge  at the Fantabuous Cricut Challenge Blog.  I just new I had to make the pirate from the B is for Boy cricut cartridge.  He is so cute!  I have been wanting this cartridge for such a long time and just got it with my rewards points.
