Peek a Pooh "Happy Fall"

Hello my crafty friends! I can't believe I have reached 100 posts. I am so thankful and blessed that I have been able to spend time crafting and blogging. What a fun year this has been. One of the best things is being a part of the Craftin Desert Diva's DT and crafting with some amazingly talented ladies. 

Today is my day to post on the CDD blog. I am sharing a Fall card I made using a sentiment from the CDD "Lets Get Stuffed" stamp set. I am loving this cooler weather at my home in SoCal and the leaves are all finally turning colors! I made this card using my purple Cricut Explore. I am so loving the cuts on my new machine. I am learning something new every day.

I put together this little card with Pooh bear peeking out from the pumpkins. I used my Pooh and Friends cartridge. I cut the Pooh at 1.5 inches. I'm so happy with how he cut out while being so small. I used some DCWV Fall card stock and the leaves were cut with my Imagine. I glittered up the leaves with Wink of Stella.

Here is a close up of the sentiment I used. It is just perfect! I have used every stamp in this set! I just love it! There's still time to get some Thanksgiving crafting done and these stamps are definitely the best!

You can purchase this set HERE

Cricut Imagine- Fall Hedgehog Birthday Card

Hello Everyone! Today I am a Guest Designer for "Die Cuttin Diva's" one of my favorite challenge blogs! The theme for this week's challenge is "Fall Is Here" and I'd almost believe it were true if it had not been 97 degrees yesterday here in SoCal! A least the mornings feel like Fall.

Today I have a card to share with you that I made using my Cricut Imagine. The cardbase is from DCWV and the rest of the papers I printed with my Enjoy the Season's cartridge. 

This little hedgehog is one of my favorite cuts. I cut the top note shaped layers using the stock images on the Imagine. I glittered the boots, acorns, and leaves with my Wink of Stella pen.

The sentiment is from the Craftin Desert Diva's stamp set "Simply Said" which you can find HERE. I have a few friends with Fall birthdays so this card will be perfect. I finally added some tiny buttons and twine. 

I hope you enjoyed my project today! Please make sure you check out the other fabulous DT projects at Die Cuttin Divas challenge blog and join in on the fun!

Cricut Imagine Printed Vinyl

Hello and Happy Wednesday! Tomorrow my kids go back to school. I was sad at first but now I'm happy about it. It will be good for them to get busy again. Too much time on their hands means too much TV and video games! 

It is interesting how in Jr.High and High School they don't get lockers anymore. It kind of makes me sad because I really enjoyed decorating my locker when I was their age. They do get a PE locker and that is where I got the idea for my next project.

I used my Imagine machine and some printable vinyl. The plastic containers I found for under $2 at Target.  I used three cartridges. For my sons's I used my JT Cartridge. He is starting 7th grade and anything cool is "epic"! 

For my daughter who is starting 9th grade I used the Enjoy the Season's Cartridge. I am hoping she enjoys High School. With our  move this past year it has been especially hard for her to make friends. I have been trying to help her be more outgoing and teach her that this year can be whatever she decides to make it. The letters are from my CTMH Artiste Cartridge. I printed and cut everything on the Imagine and used my Wink of Stella clear glitter pen on Shelbi's box to give it that extra bling.

Here is what I put inside of the boxes. The extra little "somethings" they might need before and after PE. There's even a little room to add more stuff they might think of. I'm both excited and nervous for my kids and their new adventures that lie ahead. I pray that they both make friends and enjoy their school year. 

 This project was so fast and simple! I hope to do more projects with vinyl again soon. 

I will participate in the following challenges:

Spotlight Sunday for Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog!

Hello my crafty friends! I really had fun being a guest designer for the

 Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog. The Design Team was welcoming and 

so sweet to me! This is my closing project and I look forward to 

participating in future challenges!

For my Exploring Cricut and More Sunday Project keep scrolling or click HERE !

 Today I have a card I made with my Imagine machine.  I used 

my Enjoy the Seasons cartridge. I've had my eye on this little 

bunny in the balloon for a longtime. I finally made a couple things with it! 

I used an Ivory A2 card and all the papers are printed with my Imagine.  

The balloon and cloud was cut at 4.25". I embellished with tiny pearls 

and bronze colored rhinestones. 

I made a matching tag as well using the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge.

 I haven't really made a lot of tags but hope to have a nice stash of them 

eventually for the future. I also used twine and a button. I cut a scalloped 

rectangle with the polka dot paper for the inside layer. 

I just love this little bitty bunny!

I think like how this turned out. The colors make it so that it 

can be for a guy or girl. 

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed my project! I will 

participate in the following challenges:

Cricut Enjoy the Seasons Fall Birthday Card

Today I made a card using just my Cricut Imagine machine and the Enjoy the Seasons cartridge. One of my good friends is having a birthday and I wanted to make her something Fall themed. I used brown cardstock for the card base and printed the rest of the paper with the Imagine. I cut the adorable squirrel and the leaves using the layer feature and finished off with a leaf brad and glitter glue. I rounded the corners and inked the edges of the paper.

I popped everything up using foam tape.

I decorated the inside with more layers and leaves and acorns. I used My Pink Stamper stamps for the inside sentiments. I enjoyed making this card and really should use my Imagine more. I have so many cartridges that I haven't even used yet. My goal is definitely to start using all my stuff!!

I am going to enter this card in the following challenges:
