Art Philosophy - My First Project

 This is the first project I created from the new Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge!  A friend asked me to put together a class for a wall hanging and this is what I came up with.

 The base is chipboard covered by our Christmas Paper called Wonderland.

 I used Daisy White Pigment Ink to stamp snowflakes onto the Chocolate cardstock. 

I love how it shows up so well on dark papers.

 Inside the circles cut out of the letters I have dots of Glitz Stardust Glitter Glue. 

The snowflakes also has Glitter Glue on them. 

I sponged the edges of all the panels with either Chocolate ink or Crystal Blue ink.

 The snowflakes are cut using the Art Philosophy, but we also have matching stamps.  See the "W" above, I layered two stamps - in white and crystal blue - and they are the same size as what I cut out.

 LOVE THE STOCKING!!

Here are the snowflakes in Crystal Blue ink! 

Thanks for looking and if you would like any of these supplies go to my website to purchase!

Sweet Teaser

After October 15th, I show you the details of these sweets!
(Thank you Lisa Stenz for the great idea!)

New Banner

I created another banner for my church.  This one included a very large logo that spanned 3 mats.  I had to piece three parts together and it worked perfectly!

Thanks for looking.

Grandchildren's Names

I had a friend ask me to design names for her granddaughter's rooms.  I took bold block letters and cut out some flowers and swirls from the letters.  I added a dragonfly and ladybug too.  I wanted each to be just a little different.  This is just the sample artwork, the vinyl is on it's way to being installed on their walls.  I've been promised photos when they are installed.  I took the dragonflies and ladybug and put them on the side so that they can be flying outside of the letters too.  I'll post pictures when I get them.

Volleyball Team Signs

 I was asked to create signs for the West Bend High School Volleyball Team!  

I loved doing this!  

It only took 3 days to cut and assemble all the vinyl!  

I was up to 1am only one night!  The second night I finished at 7pm!

 They decided to surprise the coach with a sign for her yard too!  

I came up with the idea of using the ball for the "O"

The team was sweet enough to do a team photo for me holding all their signs!

They won that night so now my signs are lucky!

Look what came today!!!  I can't wait to play with it!!!

LITTLE SELF PROMO THERE

Here is the stamp set:  

(The red lines around some of the stamps means that our new Cricut Cartridge cuts that shape and then you can stamp the image on it!!!)

Here is the card I made:

 I used Sparkles for the center of the flower and the corner of the card.  

Paper flowers and a little ribbon to finish it off.

My daughter started Kindergarten this week so I created 

a tag with all of her information on it so she will get on the right bus!  

It's her first time riding!

 Here's her backpack!

Leave a message and then go hop over to Shannon's Blog  to see more great work by her!

Vinyl and the Company Truck

I was tickled when friends asked me to do their company truck.  Here are the pictures:

BEFORE:

 AFTER:

 We did it in reverse on the hood:

 Me goofing off for the camera, we were hot - it was a bad day to be doing this.

 Then the rain came and cooled us off - had to run the vinyl into the house so the paper backing wouldn't get soaked.  Then I sat out in the rain to cool off.

 Here is the finished Van - all 4 sides are done! Here is Driver's side below

 

The Passenger's side:

 I did Tracy's SUV too!  This is the back windows on both sides

And if you ever need a HVAC person, they are the ones to go to!

Pair-A-Phrase Blog Hop!

This is a new hop for the August Special!

A group of us consultants decided to show off this great Free Stamp SetS!  (yes, that's 2 in one pouch!)

You should be coming from Lisa's Blog, if not, keep hopping and you will do a complete circle!

Here's the stamp sets:

Here is a few 3x3 cards that I want to use for thank you cards for orders and other things:

 I used our markers to color all of these cards. I think if you click the photos you can see the 2 colors on the flowers giving them more color.

 I used 2 different color blues to create a shading on the ribbon.

I have tiny Sparkles on some of the snowflakes.

Thanks for looking, now hop over to Lori's Blog for more great ideas for these stamps!
