Mojo Monday entry

I decided at the last minute to enter a couple of the weekly challenges that I really miss doing. This is Mojo Monday's for 12/15. It's not a great card, but it was pretty quick.

I designed the card in Design Space using the sketch and used the Winter Wonderland cartridge for the snowflake.

MCCR - Penguins

Ok, I have to admit I picked this post to do because my daughter LOVES penguins! She's all grown up, but they still bring out the kid in her.

Create a Critter and Create a Critter 2 have the best images for cards. This holiday guy is such a cutie. I cut him at 3" from Recollections card stock. The tree is from the Simply Charmed cartridge. I hid the face and shrunk it down so it would fit under the sentiment. There is red Stickles and Glossy accents on the sentiment as well as red, green and clear Stickles on some different pieces of the card. The embossing folder used in the background is from Darice. Those snowflakes in the corner were cut on the Explore at 3/4". This machine rocks!!

I hope everyone has a great weekend!!

MCCR - Gingerbread

This card was made using images from Create a Critter 2 in Design Space.

All of the card stock is Recollections. The printed is from a 6 x 6 pack from last Christmas. These are such cute images and are super easy to work with. I added some red Stickles and some Glossy accents for a little dimension. It will be great to mail.

 Happy Monday and welcome to another Monday challenge!

Challenge #240 Anything But a Card

$15.00 Gift Certificate

~This Weeks Challenge~

Create any project, that is not a card!

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.

My project this week is a gift rather than a decoration. My sister has 3 adorable grandbabies and I am sending each of them one of these for Christmas.

I'm still relatively new to the whole vinyl thing and had a little bit of trouble getting all the layers to work. It still turned out pretty cute. He loves tractors, and there's a bit of family history with John Deere,  so it should be a hit anyway. This cut came from the My World Classmates cartridge. There are some great cuts on the My World and My Community cartridges, check them out.  

Have a great week everyone!

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #238 - Thanksgiving

Welcome to another Challenge Me Monday...

 Happy Monday and welcome to another Monday challenge!

Challenge #238 Give Thanks
Thank You or Thanksgiving Card

This Weeks Sponsor

In honor of Thanksgiving I made this card with one of my favorite cartridges, Teddy Bear Parade. Yes, I have the subscription to Design Space, but I was so excited that this cartridge was in the November mystery box (see last post - and I'm sure there will be more). Now I can use it even if I decide not to keep the subscription, yeah!

To be honest, I'm not really thrilled with how the card turned out, but that's ok. I thought using the metallic paper (clearance at Michael's) would be good in the background, but I think it's too much. Plus, being the procrastinator I am and having a busy week at work, I had to take pictures before the Glossy Accents dried completely and it looks a little weird (and yes, I used my heat gun). 

The turkey bear was cut at 3" out of Recollections solid card stock and DCWV metallic card stock. There is a random piece of yellow in there that is stash paper. The circles are Spellbinders dies. I mentioned I used Glossy Accents on the red piece. There is some inking with Spiced Marmalade and Vintage Photo Distress Inks.

I hope everyone has a wonderful week, and those in the US have a safe and happy Thanksgiving!

Football Bear

I made this quick and simple card today from the Teddy Bears on Parade cartridge. I was beyond excited when I found out it was in the November Mystery Box!!

The bear is cut at 3". I used our school colors for his uniform so I can give it to one of our athletes if I want to. All of the solid card stock is Recollections. The patterned paper is from 7 Gypsies. The bear and the MVP are on different thicknesses of foam tape to add some different dimensions. 

These bears are so adorable it's hard to mess them up, thank you Cricut!

MCCR - Teens

Welcome to my Design Team day at My Cricut Craft Room. The theme for today is teens. I teach high school so I am very familiar with the topic. I went with a girl theme card today after I found this cute image from the Summer Celebrations cartridge on Cricut Design Space.

I just put "hello" on the front because that left it a little more versatile. Other sentiments can be added on the inside to make the card more pertinent to a particular situation.

The patterned paper is from a Colorbok 6x6 pad I picked up at Walmart a couple of years ago. I love all of the fun colors. The solid cardstock is Recollections brand and the stamp is from Heidi Swapp. I used Ranger Archival black ink to stamp with. The girls were cut at 3" on my Explore. I did put some glossy accents here and there just to add some shine and texture to the card. Now I just need to figure out who it needs to go home with.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday.
