You Melt My Heart

The first Tuesday of the month means... Yes! Tacky Tuesday!! This months challenge requires a snowman and the word "melt". Make sure you enter! Find out how by visiting September Ninth's blog today.

For my design team inspiration, I used the snowman from the Hello Kitty Greetings Cricut cartridge. Cricut has so many cute snowman cuts that it was hard to decide which one to use. I actually had made two other cards with different snowmen, but didn't really like how they turned out. One of them actually was very much like one of my DT sister's card (hers is cuter, of course). I embossed some white CS with the Cuttlebug D'vine Swirls folder and tore them in two pieces so they would fit my A6 sized card. I used the Pooh and Friends Cricut cart for the snowflakes (yes, they have a Pooh snowbear, too). The sentiment I cut from the "Just Because" Cards cart. Every snowman needs a little sparkle so yes, Stickles!

Welcome to the Hello Kitty Blog Hop! If you came from Crafty Homemade then you are on the right track:-) If you are one of my fabulous followers and happened to stop by, you'll want to start at Emily's Blog so you don't miss any of the fabulous projects and goodies:-)

For this home décor project I purchased four 6x6 canvas frames (on sale, of course) and painted the edges purple with a little pearl over that. I cut a 12 x 12 sheet of patterned paper and adhered to the canvas with Modge Podge. I used the Accent Essentials Cricut Cartridge and my Gypsy to size and weld a border for the frame. I used the Hello Kitty Font Cricut Cartridge to cut out the letters and Hello Kitty shapes. The dark purple is Doodlebug purple glitter card stock layered on white or black card stock.

I will be giving away this fantastic pink tool set by Cricut to one lucky follower who leaves a nice comment. PLEASE make sure you include your email address or some way to contact you if you are the winner, also.

I'm doing just one project so everyone can take their time hopping. If you are here on Saturday then you don't need to stop on Sunday. Thanks for hopping by! Your next stop is Jearise.

Happy Halloween Theme Day Thursday

The theme for today at My Cricut Craftroom is all about paper dolls and costumes. I have to admit, I was making a magnetic "paper doll" but ran into a snag, so I will save it for another time. Luckily I had my Hello Kitty Greetings cart sitting in front of me so I scanned that cute little booklet and, whala! There was a cute little magician costume she was donning. I also added this cute little bat cut from the cart. I used some dotted Bo Bunny cardstock and some scrap cardstock and ribbon. The border punch is Fiskars, but I don't know the pattern name:-( I added a little Lavender and Yellow Stickles along with some Black Soot Distress Stickles on the whiskers and bat.

Tacky Tuesday Challenge

Good Morning! The new Tacky Tuesday Challenge has begun. This month you will need to create a project using the word "Berry". Here is my DT card for this month. I used an A2 size card base with S/U Real Red, embossing only the top half with one of the Nifty Fifties Cuttlebug folders. I used S/U's scalloped border punch on a strip of S/U Green Galore CS and adhered the cherry pattern cs from DCWV Sweet Matstack to it. The die cut is from the Hello Kitty Greetings cart. I added some scrap ribbon and Maraschino twine from The Twinery (I had to use it somehow... the name was screaming to be used with this card). I finished off with some Stickles and a sentiment from MPS Fruit and Veggies Puns set.

Happy Graduation!

I had a little bit of time after I got back from the grocery store this morning so I was able to get another challenge card done. I'm entering it for the Paper Cutz challenge.  I am using this card is for my DH's BB's DD's HS Graduation. (decoded: darling husband's best buddy's darling daughter's high school graduation) :-)
Her school colors are dark orange and black. I used the Hello Kitty Salutations cart and embossed the orange with a Stampin' Up Sizzix Texturz plate. The salutation is from MPS's Happiest Moments set. Thanks for stopping by. Have a creative day:-)
