Flower Box - Regionals Project

It was fun today in classes. They had the spotlight on the Cricut Machine today! {Go Figure, it's right up my alley!} I DID learn a few things that I'll be able to add to my classes. I enjoyed watching a Newbie teach "the class" and then we made this cute Flower box! We did it with 3 flowers on top! The book just shows one, but the colors with 3 are way better! Enjoy, and I'll write more soon!

Stamp of the Month Blog Hop - My Sunshine

We are hopping around for the Stamp of the Month again - even on Easter!

If you are coming from Laurie's Blog, you are on the right track! 

If not, keep jumping and you will do a complete circle.

Here is the stamp set this month:

Remember, that all the items outlined in red are on our Cricut Cartridge - Artiste.

So I cut a few of them out . . .

I layered the balloons after stamping them in different colors.  I used foam tape to make them pop!

I sponged the baskets to add color to them. I used Sky Ink for the clouds and sponged the edges. The hard part was lining up the stamps with the balloon pieces.

Of course, I've been in the kitchen creating too . . .

(He now has a dark purple jelly bean nose)

Thanks for looking, now hop over to Krista's Blog to see what she has created!

Happy Easter!

October Stamp of the Month - Very Merry Christmas

Here we go again hopping, but this time to the holidays!

If you came from Shirley's blog, you are on the right track, if not, keep hopping and you will do a complete circle.

I DON'T WANT TO THINK OF CHRISTMAS YET!

But I will for this Hop!

 Here is the stamp set!  

CTMH likes to put their stamp sets out 2 months prior to the events - like Christmas!

 Remember, all the red outlines are items that can be cut out using our Cricut Cartridges!

This one works with Artiste!

 I went one step further in the Cricut Craft Room and 

welded mittens back to back and made mini present tags! 

(There is a vertical and a horizontal flip button)

(if this came out of the oven, I'd be a head chef!) hee hee

 I used 3 of the stamps for the inside - YES the TO and FROM are part of this set!!

 I stamped the pink stamp onto the front of the card and then stamped the blue

on an extra piece of Colonial White cardstock and cut off the cuff.

 Add some glue and sprinkle with Prisma Glitter and TA-DA!

 I did a dozen of them - stocking up for the future!

Thanks for looking!  Please leave a message.  

Also, you can get this stamp set for $5 with a purchase of $50!

Now head over to Elizabeth's blog for more great artwork with this stamp set!

Batty over Halloween Decor!

 I don't have a mantel so I'm doing my couch table!

I love Halloween and dressing up and decking out the house for the occasion!  This year it's no different!  I created a coffin from our new Cricut Cartridge Artiste and then I modified the top to add texture and a pattern.

 See here is the added piece that I embossed with my Cuttlebug and then took our Daisy White pigment ink and gave it an eerie glow/dusting!

At the end of this post is how I created the top piece in Cricut Craft Room. 
I am willing to share this file if you have this cartridge!
Leave a post and I'll email you the file!

These jars are my inspiration!  I found them on SVGCUTS.com and loved them.  I bought our Magic Potions Stamp set and had to find a vessel for the stamps. When these jars came to me I had to have them too!  This is how they look (above) without the camera's flash.

 With the flash on my camera these jars glow!  It's the pigment ink showing off!

 The spider sits higher than he looks, he's raised up on 3 foam squares and I tipped his head down.  That's almost a whole pack of Black Sparkles on his body!

All of these jars open and are great for gifts or candy jars!  Even the witches shoe is a candy dish - gotta go buy candy now!

 So I laid out the coffin pieces and then using triangles from that cartridge I started following the base of the cover.

 Above is 2 triangles I'm using to cover the inside surface of the cover.  The cover I told it to DON'T WELD- so nothing would blend in with it.  The triangles were all WELD.

 Here shows the two triangles welded together.

 More triangles. . . .

And more

 (the highlighted "box" above is really a triangle, but a box would have worked too.)

 In the end I used an oval to cover the leftover holes.  When I first put the circle on top, it acted like it wasn't welding but cutting out an oval.  After clicking on all the pieces again and DON'T WELD and then clicking WELD for each piece it suddenly worked and I got this shape:

 TA DA!!!
Now, all the pieces are still separate.
I drew a box around the pieces and then clicked GROUP
so that it won't accidentally get moved and come apart.
 I am willing to share this file if you have this cartridge!
