Happy Fall

It's officially fall and I am so excited! I just love when the humidity goes away and the air becomes crisp. Fall is my favorite time of the year. The colors, the weather, the aromas. My card today celebrates this time of year. I used the Cricut Imagine cartridge, The Good Old Days. I love the retro styled images on this cart. I began by separating the images in CCR and cutting some of them separately so I could pop them up for dimension. I added a little Paprika, Eucalyptus, and Stardust Stickles for some sparkle. The ribbon is from Papertrey Ink. I embossed the orange cardstock with the Geometric Rings Cuttlebug folder.

Special Delivery

Today's challenge at The Fantabulous Cricut blog is all about planes, trains, and automobiles. I chose this happy little flying Santa from The Good Old Days Imagine cart. I separated the layers on my Imagine so I could emboss the blue layer with the Cuttlebug D'vine Swirls folder. The stamped sentiment is from Pink By Design's Ticket To Ride set.

Let Your Dreams Take Flight

The back to school count down has begun! :-) There's only one person in the Schmitt household that is excited and I'll give you one guess who :-) I love my kids dearly but it will be nice to have time to myself during the day again. I've missed many challenges and I can't wait to get going again:-) My card for today is for the Crop Stop's challenge.

I used Nate's ABCs cartridge along with The Good Old Days Imagine cart to color in the layers. I am really beginning to enjoy using Cricut Craft Room with my older carts. I'm finding it is less difficult and time consuming coordinating colors and styles of card stock. I partially embossed the yellow layer with the D'vine Swirls Cuttlebug folder and stamped the bottom portion with the perfect sentiment from PTI's Happy Trails set. I snipped off the "tails" on the kite and added some baker's twine for a little more texture. Thanks for stopping by! Have a creative day:-)

Wedding Bliss

Today's challenge is to create a project for a special couple for a wedding or anniversary. Please stop by the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog to get all of the details so you can play along.

For my project, I utilized Cricut Craft Room to make two different sized labels from the Accent Essentials Cricut Cart. I sized one label at 5", copied and pasted it, then resized it a little bigger. The couple came from The Good Old Days Imagine cartridge. I printed the main image as well as just the couple so I could "pop" them up for added dimension.

I have a little trick for making coordinating patterned card stock that doesn't come with the cartridge. Find an image with a patterned background you like, separate the layers in CCR, delete all of the images except the patterned one, make it a little larger than the cut you need, then do a Print Only. Reinsert the card stock and do a Cut Only of the image you want. I did this for the bottom layer. The off white layer was embossed using the Sizzix Small Dots Texturz Plate.

I also added some "antiqued" white seam binding and a little tag with the perfect sentiment from My Craft Spot's Tiny Tags set. Oh, and yes, can't forget a little Stickles:-)
