Welcome Baby - Would You Ever Guess Wednesday

Thank you for stopping by:-) For today's My Cricut Craftroom WYEGW, I created this card for a friend who will be having a baby boy. After speaking with her (okay texting with her) the other day, I found out she may be having him sooner than later. I decided I better get her card done ASAP!

I picked out the image from the Holiday Cakes cartridge because I liked the simplicity of the elephant. I used some solid CS (cardstock) from PTI (Papertrey Ink) and patterned CS from DCWV (Die Cuts With A View) Nana's Kitchen. The little heart was cut from some PP (patterned paper) DD (Daisy D's). I embossed the white CS with the Baby Words Cuttlebug folder and the blue part of the elephant with the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder. I used a small black brad for the eye and some ribbon from American Crafts. I popped up the blue layer and the heart with foam adhesive and added a little doodling with my Uniball Signo pen (love this thing!).

Thanks for stopping by for another Would You Ever Guess Wednesday from My Cricut Craftroom! Today I made a card using the Lyrical Letters Cricut Cartridge. Towards the back of the handbook, there are quite a few images other than letters that make wonderful cards! I used textured Sahara Sand CS from Stampin' Up for the A2 sized base. I then layered the patterned CS from DCWV Baby Boy Stack along with the coffee cup image cut from textured Early Espresso Stampin' Up CS and ribbon from my stash. I added a die cut tag from My Creative Time with a sentiment stamp from Scrappy Moms Freshly Brewed set.

Today is the day where My Cricut Craftroom's design team uses cuts that are not the main images on Cricut Carts. For today's project I used the snowflakes on pages 60-62 on the Sesame Street Seasons cart. I embossed white A2 sized cardstock with the Snowflakes Cuttlebug folder. I used Stickles on the cut snowflakes for a little sparkle. The tag die and outline stamp is from Papertrey Ink's Filliable Frames Additions 1. The sentiment is from a cute set by Scrappy Moms called Winter Wishes.

I made this retro styled Christmas card using the banner feature on the Winter Frolic Cricut cartridge. I sized the ornaments at 1.5" on my Gypsy, made a second copy, then welded them together. I cut the sentiment out at 2.5" and adhered it to a Basic Grey patterned CS. I attached the ornaments to the solid is Bazzill card stock that I embossed with the Cuttlebug Snowflakes folder. I added some extra sparkle by using fibers and Diamond Stickles.

I used the Designer's Calendar cart to create this festive Thanksgiving card for Would You Ever Guess Wednesday on My Cricut Craftroom. I cut the patterned card stock from the Cloud 9 Design Harvest Holiday 2 stack to fit the green A6 sized card base. I then cut 1" strips of a coordinating patterned card stock and machine stitched it down with brown thread. I adhered the cut image to a patterned circle and attached it to the card with foam adhesive. If you have this cart you might want to consider using some of the images for more than just a calendar. There are some super cute phrases that would make excellent cards as well as enhance any scrapbook layout.

Clean and Simple

Happy Wednesday to all of you. Today is Would You Ever Guess Wednesday at My Cricut Craftroom. My DT project is a clean and simple card made from a Cricut Cake cartridge called Cake Basics. This cart actually comes with the Cricut Cake machine and is loaded with all types of fabulous images. It has several borders, filigrees, florals, shapes, frames, words. It is a great cart for cutting out images for projects that require limited layers like fabric crafts or stenciling. I used DCWV Eco Stack along with a little ribbon from Stampin' Up to create this all occasion card.

Would You Ever Guess Wednesday

It looks like we're in for a nice week here in Northern Illinois. Cool temps and sun. I just love it! Now that the kids are back in school I find myself doing a little more organizing and "fall clean-out" around the house. Collecting all of those "things" the kids don't need or have used in awhile. This is my opportunity to gather these items and remove them from the house without - "Nooo! You can't donate that! I neeeeed it!". If ever they should ask where is - - - - ? My answer will be -- "I'm not sure... keep looking".  I'm such a stinker!

I used the Give A Hoot cart for my Would You Ever Guess Wednesday DT card. This cart has so many interesting flowers and plants on it that you may not even realize it. This image is an Accent key for an Owl image. I did a little stamping and doodling on the flower and popped up the orange layer for some extra interest. I then adhered the flower to some patterned card stock from K & Company's Greenhouse Stack and used a fabulous sentiment from My Creative Time's "Just a little note to say..." set. The stem is tied with a little Pink Sorbet baker's twine and a charm from a special friend.
