Easter

Create a project using a bunny or an Easter project

To qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least 1 Cricut cut on your project and if it's not obvious, let us know what cartridge you used.

I made a mixed media project this week. I need to practice this a LOT more, but they are a lot of fun.

I used this cute little digi from Aurora Wings called the Sleepy Bunny Elf. They have some really great digi's in the Etsy store, check them out! I love using digital stamps because you can make them almost any size you want. This canvas is 5" x 7" and I could have made the digi fill the whole thing if I wanted. I colored it with Spectrum Noir markers for the skin and Promarkers for the rest. The Cricut cartridge I used was Pooh and Friends. The moon was cut at 1 3/4", the stars at 1 1/4". The grass pieces were cut at 1 1/4" and 1 1/2". 

I put modeling paste on the canvas through a stencil and let it dry. When it dried I dry brushed the purple and blue over the paste. I used some satin Mod Podge to put on some white tissue with glitter. There is glossy accents on the moon. One of the grass pieces is on a double layer of foam tape. The digi is on a single layer of tape. I used my Dymo label maker for the sentiment. It didn't want to stay down, even with glue.

Have a great week everyone!

BBTB2 Tree

The challenge this week at Bitten by the Bug 2 was to make something with a tree. The tree had to be cut with the Cricut. I used the October 31st cartridge to cut the tree at 3 3/4". The clouds were cut with the Pooh and Friends cartridge at 1 1/4". The pumpkins were cut with a little punch I've had forever and the fence is a Martha Stewart punch. I was the very lucky winner of one of the DCWV giveaways and receive both of the Bewitched stacks plus a lot more. That's where all of the paper came from. I should be set for several Halloweens with all that was in the box. The design is loosely based on a Pagemaps sketch that was used for World Card Making Day on Saturday. The sentiment is from K Andrew Designs Fall-O-Ween set. It looked a little bare when I was done so I drew in some bats with a pen. Does it need a moon?

Here is the wonderful bundle I received in the mail from DCWV. Thank you so much!

Sunny Thoughts Pooh

The challenge at the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge this week was to use a yellow sun. In sticking with my summer Disney theme I chose Pooh and the sun from the Pooh and Friends cartridge.  Pooh is cut at 3 1/2" and the sun is cut at 1 1/2". The paper is a mix of all of my stash paper. The lovely carnations are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The sentiment is a K Andrew Designs stamp from the Splashtastic Summer set.

I had a little trouble with the ink, I haven't been able to find a white ink that works really well. If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it.

Not a card!

     This is an unusual post for me.  First of all, it's not a card.  Second, I'm entering it into more than one challenge, I don't usually manage to get that accomplished.  This is for the Simply Sunday challenge at Getting Cricky where the challenge was to make something for summer.  It's also going to the Wobble Wednesday challenge (not a card) and the Fantabulous Cricut challenge (bug). 
    I made this for a friend who graciously has our annual end of the year party at her house every year.  We sit on her patio and discuss the school year and laugh at the silly stories we all have.  It's a good time!  

Action Wobble from the side

    The flower pot is a kids pot from Walmart that has a removable liner. I traced it in the purple paper and punched some pink circles, stamped them, glued them and then put it all back together.  The flowers are all cut at 3" from the Flower Shoppe Cricut cartridge.  The bee is cut at 3" from the Pooh and Friends cartridge and it's on an action wobble!  It's cute when it bounces around.  The stamps are from the K Andrew Designs Summertime Splash stamp set.  There are two so she can use one or both. The twine is also from Kristal, she just started carrying it, it's nice and thick and only 5 dollars for a roll! The circles on the pot were cut from one of Emma's (My Creative Time) dies.  The circle on the top was punched with a Fiskars punch.  The paper is DCWV and from one of the color packs from JoAnn's.  I don't have the package for the stamps on the pot and I don't remember where they're from.

NSD #11 - pink, green and black

Challenge #11 at My Pink Stamper was do something with pink, green and black. Of course if you are a Pooh fan, who else do you think of but Piglet?? He was cut from the Pooh and Friends cartridge at 4". The picture does not show the colors very well. The background is light green and the flowers are almost the same color. Most of the papers are scraps from other projects so I don't know what they are. The flowers are from Got Flowers, and there are I-rock heat set gems in the center of each flower. He just looks like he's enjoying the day.
