Strawberry Wishes

Hi Everyone, I hope you are having a wonderful Saturday! 

Today, I am sharing a card that I made for the Joy's Life Design Team.

Spring is upon us, well some of you but not here in Wyoming!
What a Lovely WINTER we are having this Spring in Wyoming!! Haha!!

Got to love it!

Now onto my project, I made a strawberry basket with a matching card.

I used Joy's Life Yummy Puns for my sentiment outside and inside my Strawberry card.

My Strawberry Basket and berries, I cut from my new Artiste cartridge.



This was such a fun project to do and I can't wait to give it away!
Each Strawberry has hershey kisses in it.

Cricut Toss- Up

This week our Challenge was to use the Cartridge Tags, Bags, Boxes and More.

I have really enjoyed doing these Challenges they are just so much fun! Make sure you check out Stacey's Project over at Stacey's Creative Corner, I am sure she has something amazing to share!
This project I made for our Nephew, Ryan and our Son, Ethan.



What I used:

Catridges: Tags, Bags, Boxes, & More, Playtime, A Child's Year (word "play"), Lyrical Letters

I cut the door hanger at 4 x 10 1/2 sized on my Gypsy out of Cereal boxes I use as Chipboard, then the layers out of Designer Paper from the $1 spot at Target. I cut the little super hero boys out at 3. The words "play" and "in" at 1 1/2 and "progress" at 3/4, welded together on my gypsy.

Paper: Target $1 spot and the Paper Studio Brights Stack

Other: Star punch, White signo gel pen, Misc. sharpies for doodles.

I also decided to Laminate these when they were done. The kids loved them!
Thanks for looking!! :)
Have a Great Day!

Cricut Toss- Up

Hi Everyone! My good friend Stacey has asked that I share in a fun challenge she features every week on her blog. She picks a Cricut Cartridge out of a jar that she owns and makes two projects from that Cartridge.  Since I am a Cricut Newbie, I was really excited for this. What a great way to use Cartridges you normally don't and some that you haven't yet. Check out her project over at Stacey's Creative Corner, her stuff is amazing!

This week our featured cartridge is Tags, Bags, Boxes & More.
Here is my first project.

The card is a card kit I received from my secret sister a few months ago on a Swap featured at Paper Therap. The card kit is Everyday Celebrations from Close to My Heart, I love the colors.
I cut the popcorn container using Fit To Page and that ended up being 6 1/4.

Card stock is recollections Navy blue and the Designer paper is scraps from the CTMH card kit.

The Tag is also from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cut at 3 1/2 with a window.

The hat is cut from Celebrations at 2 1/2.

Ink : Dutch Blue and Chocolate from Close to My Heart and Chocolate Chip SU! Marker.

Ribbon: Close to My heart and Stampin Up Old Olive grosgrain.

Misc.: Pom-pom from stash & Cello Bag filled with Candy.

Thanks for stopping by. Don't forget to Check back later on this week for my second featured project from Tags, Bags, Boxes, & More!

Hop on Over to Check out Stacey's Creative Corner too!

Have a great day!

Birthday Dragon

Today's Post is a card I made for my Brother for his Birthday.

I used my new Pagoda cartridge.



I cut the card at 5 1/4 and the "Kanji" symbol for celebrate at 1 1/2. I cut the gift bag using Tags, Bags, Boxes & More and it was 7 1/2. The bag was pretty small and I only used it to put candy in. I was really excited to use that cartridge. I used Core'dinations Hocus Pocus Cardstock and the silver is from a Walmart Shimmer stack. I inked the edges in silver.
Tip: Next time I cut this card the Carstock needs to be 2 layers or pretty thick. The card fit in a Standard A2 envelope though.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!
