Cricut Daily Challenge - Shapes: Swirlies

I created this card trying to follow color combo #59 from Monday AND today's challenge...swirlies. It came out a little plain trying to use just 3 colors when I didn't have coordinating embellishments. But, I tried something new. My head aches thinking about how hard it would be to create monochromatically!!! Cart used was Home Accents, cardstock, pen, dazzling diamonds, and long punch are all Stampin Up. Corner punch is EZ scuccess?

Cricut Daily Challenge - 08-09-10

Today's challenge was a color combo:

I created a 2 page layout of my son. Cart used was Freshly Picked and Create a Critter, Plantin Schooldbook & Nursery Rhymes for the phrase. I sewed the edges of the frames and pages with two different stiches and colors of thread. The buttons on the overalls are brads. The "cloth" of the overalls are Bashful Blue SU DSP. And lastly, the larger buttons are created using the Martha Stewart button punch.

Nursery Rhymes Paper Stack clearance at Joanne's

I bought this paper stack (actually it's cardstock) at J's this past weekend for a mere $2.97! It coordinates perfectly with the Cricut Nursery Rhymes cartridge. Check out your local J's...maybe they have it too!

Cricut Daily Challenge 08-04-2010

The challenge for today was to cut out an animal and use it on your project. I created a layout using the Animal Kingdom , Everyday Paperdolls, and Create a Critter carts. I created the film look by using my Zutter binding tool to cut the holes on each side of the film strip.

Cricut Daily Challenge - 08-01-10

Hi Everyone! Today's Cricut Challenge was Product - Bling...glitter. I created this card using shimmery black, silver & gold cardstock, silver glitter (it's still all over me) and Cricut carts Nursery Rhymes and Plantin Schoolbook. I removed the cow from the moon and welded the sentiment for inside the card to match the pre-made phrase "over the moon". I used the font from Nursery Rhymes to do this. The cityscape is a border from Plantin Schoolbook. I cut this out twice so I could pop up some of the buildings. I hope you like!

Bachelorette Card

Here is a perfect card for a Bachelorette party or maybe for your sweetie!

I used the Tie the Knot cart and SU CS, DSP, border punch and ink

Cricut Daily Challenge for 7-30-10 & 7-31-10

This is my Cricut Daily Challenge Entry. I made my FIRST chipboard album! Since the challenge was "scrap your stash - paper", I went through my oh so lonely stash and pulled out a bunch of cat papers I had saved from a cat/dog paper stack I had bought to make some doggie scrapbooks for myself and friends a few years back.

I made the album by welding several images on the Gypsy. Carts used included Doodlecharms, Animal Kingdom, Cuttin Up & Everyday Paperdolls. The scallops on the last page were made using a Stampin Up Scallop punch and I used some SU hodgepodge hardware & ribbon throughout the book. I inked all the edges with SU Espresso ink as well.

Goodmorning! This is my Cricut Daily Challenge Entry.

Today's Cricut Circle daily challenge is shapes - circles. I created this card using SU cardstock, designer series paper, ink, ribbon border punch and sentiment. I used the Accent Essentials cart for the shapes. I picked a scalloped circle and cut as is. Then I took the same shape and used hide contour to hide the inner circle. I then copied the scalloped circle and decreased the size each time with alternating cardstock and DS paper. I sprayed the scalloped circles with water, scrunched them up tight, let them slightly dry, then opened them back up. I put a SU hodgepodge brad in the middle and added it to the card to finish drying. By wetting the circles, it allows them to dry curled up and retain their shape better. I selected a leaf, cut the shape out twice, bone folded it in the middle, then ran it at an angle through a crimper and finished it off by inking the lines. Thanks Mom, for the inspiration!
