VBS project...

Just really quickly wanted to share a project I made last week! It was a special order for someone doing a VBS program with their church. I had a friend come over and help me, and we put together 60 of these cute little airplanes and banners! The airplane is from Pop-up Neighborhood, the banner is from New Arrival, and all the paper is Authentique - mixed and matched different colors. I also added a bit of glossy accents to the propeller and wheels! 

 

That's it! Just a bunch of pictures! Enjoy your day and weekend!

Peachy Keen Guest Design Week - Day 4

If you are looking for my Patches of Pink Design team post, scroll down, or click HERE.

Good morning! So hard to believe that the week as guest designer on the Peachy Keen Blog is almost over! Been having so much fun with my Peachy Keen stamps! For today's post, I played with my newest set of face stamps, In Stitches Face Assortment. (Hint: I also have a bonus project at the bottom of this post using this same set!) I think these are so fun and different from any of the other faces - they have such a homespun look, that I just HAD to use lots of kraft paper!

I used a cut off of my cricut cartridge, Give a Hoot. I hid some of the layers on my Gypsy, and inked the edges of each piece with Tim Holtz distress ink in Frayed Burlap.

I also pop-dotted several of the layers, as this picture shows a little better. The background is also pop-dotted, as well as run through my Cuttlebug.

I used my white gel pen to do lots of faux stitching, and added a sentiment from My Creative Time stamps.

Here is the set that I used for today:

In Stitches Face Assortment - $25.00

And, just a reminder, Peachy Keen has allowed me to select a prize to give away, and what could be better than your own spending money?!?!? So...leave a comment here, and on the Peachy Keen Blog for two chances to win a $25 gift certificate!!!

And if you made it all the way down here, here is another project I made using this set. I am busy making applesauce, dried apples, and frozen apple slices at the moment. Day before yesterday, I picked up a 900 pound bin of apples (yes...you read that right!) and boxed the majority of them up single-handedly (my back is reminding me how bad an idea that was...) to split with several other friends. Actually, my 7 and 8 year old daughters helped a lot - they are such good kids! I kept 4 boxes for myself, each about 35 pounds. Got a total of over 25 boxes!!! Yikes! Anyway, this card seemed appropriate!

I used the accessory feature on Pop-Up Neighborhood, the Circle Exclusive cartridge. Did lots of pop-dotting on this card as well - I think it adds so much dimension!

Also did a lot of stitching (again) with my white gel pen, and inking on everything!

The sentiment is from Unity Stamps and just had to add some jute cord on the handles!

Thanks once again for stopping by, and for all of your sweet comments! I have been reading each and every one! I will see you back here tomorrow for my 5th and final post for the week!!!

Have a Fairy Nice Day!

I had so much fun with this card! Can you tell I have little girls and love to make all the fun girly stuff? Anyway, this is for one of the WCMD challenges over at Inking it Up - Glitter and Bling! I am also entering it in the blogaversary challenge over on the Cricut Circle Blog - to use some of the Circle Exclusive cartridges for a project.

For this card I used Shall We Dance for the magic wand, and Pop-up Neighborhood for the frame in the background. Did some inking and glossy accents and glitter on the wand. Added some doodling, a sentiment from Scrappy Moms Stamps, and a bit of Bakers Twine.



Patches of Pink - What makes you happy?

It's that time again! Time for the monthly Design Team post and challenge over at Patches of Pink! For this month, the challenge is to create a project about what makes you happy. Now, the real answer to that question would have probably yielded a completely different project - because I would have to say that my family is the thing that makes me the most happy! But I found myself thinking to long and hard about what to make, and as I flipped through cartridge handbooks, I came upon this hot air balloon. I don't know why, but I just LOVE hot air balloons! They just make me smile! I have never been in one - in fact, I don't know if I could be brave enough! - but I think they look so pretty! So...I decided to make a card using something that makes me smile!!!

 The hot air balloon is from Pop-up Neighborhood, the Cricut Circle exclusive cartridge. I cut it out, inked all the layers, and put it on an action wobble! That is something else that makes me smile!

Here is a little glimpse of how the action wobble works:

I added some machine stitching around the edges, a sentiment from Scrappy Mom's stamps, and some Baker's Twine.

Thanks for stopping by! Now head on over to Patches of Pink to see what the rest of the Design Team has cooked up, and to link your own creation! Would love to have you join us!!!

I am also entering this in the Scrappy Mom's Terrific Tuesday's Challenge (I don't have the cartridge Pack Your Bags, so this is something similar!)

Cricut 360 - Challenge #5 - Travel

It's Friday - which means it's time for another Cricut 360 post! This week the theme is Travel...boats, planes, cars, trains - anything that makes you think of traveling! Make sure to click over and link your post for a chance to win this weeks prize!

For my card, I had been dying to try out my newest Circle Exclusive cartridge, Pop-up Neighborhood. This plane caught my eye the first time I looked through the cartridge handbook, so I decided to use it for my card. I used some My Mind's Eye 6x6 stacks of paper for this card - I am SOOOO in love with those! They are the perfect size for making cards, and I don't feel like I am wasting paper that way!

I added some stitching on the plane, and around the edges of the card - also inked just the edges of the card in brown ink. The plane is pop-dotted from the rest of the card to add some dimension. I also cut the clouds from Pop-up Neighborhood. I reversed a couple of them, and skewed some of them a little, and changed the width and height so that they didn't all look identical. The sentiment is from Scrappy Mom's stamps - I stamped the first part, then cleaned the stamp and stamped the second part so they were side by side instead of stacked. Finished off with a bit of Baker's Twine along the bottom.

Thanks for stopping by - and make sure and link your own creations at Cricut 360 - can't wait to see what you create!!!
